I sat down next to a tree and waited for Alex and Angel to get done talking. I was about to get up and move when a blonde haired woman walked up. I looked at her and gasped. She was beautiful. She walked over to me and smiled.
"Hi I'm looking for Angel. I'm detective Lockley. Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah he's inside talking with his daughter." She looked at me in astonishment.
"Daughter? What daughter?"
"I've been raising her. I decided it was time for them to meet."
"Oh that's pretty cool. What's your name?" she asked me after a moment of silence.
"My name's Lindsey. I work at Wolfram and Hart, or I did work there before I found out that they wanted me to kill Alex."
"They wanted you to kill your daughter? Why?"
"Because she is Angel's daughter and sooner or later she would find out. I was not allowed to tell her until it was time to kill her. I told her too early and now she is going to probably train with Angel and she will help take down Wolfram and Hart."
"I've never heard that Wolfram and Hart were evil."
"Oh yeah they are. Demons are always in there, getting help from them. Wolfram and Hart did anything to help them just because they didn't want the demons to kill them. Demons have many more friends than humans do."
"That's strange. I always wondered why Angel would never let me go along to help him battle something. That explains why he is a vampire. I still don't trust him though."
"What's not to trust? He's never given me a reason not to trust him."
"He lied to me. He turned into a vampire and when I saw him, he ran away. He killed my father. He drank from him."
"But...But Angel doesn't drink from humans if he can help it. Maybe something happened. Maybe another vampire killed your father and Angel tried to save him."
"I don't know. I came to talk to him about it and see what I can find out."
"Well they might be awhile. I'm waiting for a man to get back. He's kind of dating Alex."
"That's cool."
"You look tired. Do you want to sit down?" I asked her when I saw her yawn.
"That would be great." she sat down pretty close to me and I blushed. She didn't notice so I quickly hid it. She sighed and started looking around. I smiled lightly and looked away from her. I felt like a boy with an elementary school crush.
By the time it was almost unbearable to sit there with her and my crush, Erik walked back up.
"There you are. Where have you been?" I jumped up and almost fell over in the process of trying to get away from the very hot detective and over to Erik.
"Sorry, I wanted to get something for Alex." He fidgeted around while standing next to me with his hands in his pockets.
"What is it?" I asked out of curiosity. He shook his head.
"I don't think I should tell you just yet."
"Oh come on tell me!" I said as I started jumping up and down like a child. I heard Lockley laugh. She was standing right next to me. I jumped away in fright. This time both Lockley and Erik laughed.
"Geez you scared me. Don't do that."
"Sorry Lindsey. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to find out what this man had."
"Hello how are you?" asked Erik as he stuck out his hand. Kate took it and smiled.
"I'm fine. I am Detective Lockley."
"I'm James." I looked at him with confusion as he said a name that was not his. He looked at me as if to say I'll explain later. I nodded and shook it off. I watched them start talking and sighed. I felt a pang of jealousy kick in but quickly shrugged it off. I knew that he liked Alex and he wouldn't change that for the world.
When they stopped talking, I saw that Alex and Angel had walked out. I looked up at the sky and just noticed that it was dusk and Angel could come out. I watched Lockley go over and start talking to Angel until they went inside to talk in private. I was about to go over to Alex when I saw Erik start to head over there. I decided to leave them alone and I quickly told them I was going to the grocery store to pick some stuff up. I waved goodbye and left them standing there.
