Chapter 3
.
Angel was hesitant to hire Lindsay, but maybe Eve was right, maybe it was better to have the devil he knew. Angel decided to have Lindsay sing for Lorne. Lorne was having everyone sing for him, find out what their motives were. He had a ranking system for each employee. The ratings included Okay, on the fence, evil, to be fired, and Yikes.
.
Angel: So, how did Lindsay do?
Lindsay: Very good. That boy missed his true caling when he went to law school, should have been a singer. I have some serious plans for him in Wolfram and Hart's entertainment division.
Angel: I meant is he planning to betray me?
Lorne: Absolutely, but not just yet. Lindsay knows he has a lot to learn if he's going to kill you and take over Wolfram and Hart. So for now, he's willing to be a team player and take orders from you.
Angel: And what about Eve?
Lorne: She thought she could trick me with her singing, it was adorable really. Eve and Lindsay are working together, and they're in love. I personally think they make a very good couple, and probably a very bad couple. So it's up to you big guy. Do you want to fire them, or keep them around on a very tight leash. Because honestly, you do need help in running this place. But it's your choice.
Angel: They gave Gunn an upgrade, but I have no idea how permenant that is, and Lindsay does have real legal knowledge. We keep them around, for now. Lyndon Johnson was once asked why he kept J. Edgar Hoover around, even with Hoover causing all sorts or problems for him. Johnson, who was never one to mince words, said "I'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." That's more or less how I see Lindsay and Eve right now.
