Chapter 3
Oh, please do not be demons Xander thought as he walked up to the receptionists at the desk in the receptions area of the law firm. She looked human enough not that that meant anything. He had encountered many demons that looked human. Some were nice and just wanted to live their lives then there were the ones that wanted to tie me up and eat my brains. It was somewhat sad that I had more run-ins with latter then the former. Xander shook his head this line of though is not going to get me anywhere with that Xander addressed the woman behind the desk.
"Excuse me, my name is Alexander Harris and I am here for the reading of my parents will. Would you be so kind to point me to the office of a Ms. Footmen?" he asked with a polite smile.
"Oh yes she told me to expect you sometime today. Just go through that door down the hall turn left it will be the first door on the right." she replied as she pointed to the door on the right.
"Thank you Ms. Receptionists Lady." Xander said with a wink.
She gave a little laugh as he was walking through the door. Well so far so good, he thought in just a few minutes I would have some of my questions answered. I gave the door a knock before walking in. Ms. Becky Footmen looked to be over 50 years of age with her hair just starting to gray. As he enter she stood up and moved around the desk to shake his hand he could see she was dress like the typical woman lawyer.
"Hello Mr. Harris it's nice to meet you. Please take a seat this may take awhile." she said as she shook his hand. As she moved back to her chair behind the desk Xander was already shaking his has he took the chair opposite of her.
"Please Ms. Footmen do not call me Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris was my father's name. Mine is Xander just Xander." he shuttered just a little at be call Mr. Harris.
"Then you must call me Becky. Now Xander we can do this a couple of ways. You can watch the video they left for you and then I can read their will or I can read their will now and you can take the video to watch later. How would you like to proceed?" she inquired with sympathy in her eyes.
"Give me a moment please Becky?" he replied. Becky gave him a nod then went back to the papers she had been messing with when he came in.
They made me a video why would they do that. Why go to the trouble of making a video for someone you could not stand. Ok Xander this is not about why they would make a video. This is about how you want the meeting to go. The question here is do you watch the video now or take it with you where you will most likely never watch it. Well I guess that answers that question.
"If I took the video with me Becky then I would most likely never watch it so let's just get this video out of the way. Then move on to what my parent left for Me." was Xander's reply to her earlier question. Becky got a curious look in her eye when he said he would most likely never watch it but all she said was.
"Ok then Xander if that's how you want to do this. There is a room across the hall with a TV and VCR set up, here is the video. When you're finished watching it we will continue the reading of the will."
Xander set in front of the TV for a while with his finger resting on the play button of the VCR remote finally; he gave a little sigh and pushed the button. Replacing the blue screen in seconds was his mother's face. She looked sober a little tired and sad.
"Well if you're watching this Alexander sorry I forgot you don't like to be called that. Let me try that again if you are watching this Xander then your father and I are most likely dead. We would have liked to tell you this in person and we tried to a little after your twenty-first birthday but your little red haired friend always said you were busy and that you would return the call when you had the time. You never called us back not that we can blame you." she looked sad as she said that.
When had they called me he thought Willow would have mentioned them calling.
"Anyway moving on to what we would have told you. No doubt, that you have learned that we grew up in Angel Grove and came back here a little before Sunnydale became a sinkhole. We hoped you had left Sunnydale too when you did not return our calls and we could not find you in town." she was saying with hope in her eyes.
"Anthony and I both were single children that came from well off families. After marrying we lived in the house, I grew up in and that my parents left for me in their will. Five months into our marriage Anthony's parents died and left everything to us. We could have lived for decades on just our inheritance. However, our parents had been people who had worked hard for what they had earned and they taught that to their kids." that was said with a proud if sad smile.
"I had a job as a first grade teacher and a hi-tech company that made electronics hired your father as a CEO. You were five years old when they needed someone temporally transfer to the Company in Sunnydale to clear up the mess a CEO there had made of things. After arranging, for our house and properties to be pay for until further notice we headed off to Sunnydale." the screen froze after she had said that.
Xander had pushed the pause button in shock my parents had respectable jobs he thought. How could have these people been my parents? He tried to picture his mom as a teacher but all he could see was her seating on a couch with an empty look on her face. It was the same with his dad he could not see him in a suit. Frustrated he ran his hand through his hair pushed play knowing he could not get the answers to his question with out watching the video.
