Angel had spent the better part of the night hunting for Selene, after leaving the baby in the care of Lorne, who was better than any TV in his opinion, but had to cut it short as the sun began to rise.

Serenity, meanwhile, had begun to whimper and wail just before her father came home, her brown eyes catching the light, the gold flakes more noticeable.

Lorne was rather dumbstruck at the moment, Angel hadn't left him with bottles or even any instructions on what the little rugrat ate. He bounced her lightly and offered her a finger to play with, which she immediately latched onto sucking on it contently, closing her eyes again. The demon let out a sigh of relief, lightly bouncing the girl as she sucked on his finger while waiting for Angel to come home.

Elsewhere in the main lobby, Trinity reentered, at opening, with short pale blond hair, and dark blue eyes, wearing a short black skirt and a red top holding a folder, "Hello?"

Standing up behind her desk outside Angel's office, Harmony smiled at the woman chipper as always she greeted her, "Morning! Are you here to see Angel or someone else?"

The stranger nodded with a sweet smile, "I have a job interview."

"Oh with who?" the secretary glanced down, flipping through her appointment book, "Do you have an appointment?"

Trinity nodded, "At nine-thirty with a Mr. O'Neil."

Harmony frowned, flipping again. "Unless you're a chaos demon," she looked her over, "and I doubt you are, then you're mistaken."

"I know I made the appointment," Trinity said firmly.

"Nope sorry, just a .... name I won't even try to say. No 'Summerland' anywhere in here sorry." The blond offered a sympathetic smile.

"I know I called, I triple checked. A Mr. Pratt said to come in," the woman protested.

At this Harmony giggled madly, "Blondiebear? Sorry he doesn't man the phones. Now I know you must be mistaken."

"I'm very certain I'm not," Trinity growled.

"I'm the only person who makes appointments for Angel. But if you'd like I can call Spike up here to tell you himself?" Harmony reached for the phone.

"That's alright," the girl sighed. "I can wait I suppose."

"Angel isn't coming in today. He called in sick awhile ago. Maybe you should leave and come back another day," the stranger was really giving the secretary a serious case of the heebie-jeebies.

"Well I was really hoping to see someone today," Trinity frowned.

"Well there's really no one else for you to see," Harmony stated. "Spike is with his family and Angel is sick. Lorne is in Japan on business and Gunn is in court."

"I really do need to try and get an interview. If you could set something up for me?" Trinity sighed.

"Sorry would you like me to pencil you in for..." the ditz flipped again, "Thursday October 27th 2011." She looked up and shrugged some.

The stranger scowled, "I was thinking something closer."

"But he's fairly booked up I have a 3:30 to 3:45 free on the day I mentioned nothing else sorry," Harmony shrugged.

"And there's no one else I can see?" Trinity asked.

"What sort of job are you looking for?" the secretary questioned.

"I was told there was a lawyer position opening for supernatural lawyers," the strange woman explained.

"That would probably fall under Gunn's category," Harmony explained. "I can take your résumé and pass it on to his secretary if you'd like? as I said he is in court today and possibly the rest of the week or more."

Sighing, Trinity fished out the folder, handing it to Harmony who flipped her date book closed. As soon as the stranger left, Harm dropped the folder into the trashcan under her desk and resumed working.

Back inside Selene's office, Serenity sat staring out her window at the huge ball of light, whimpering. Angel sighed softly, picking the girl up and patting her back while he fetched her a bottle. The infant however had other ideas as she tried to bite his neck, but being toothless all she could do was gum him, causing Angel to softly chuckle, "That tickles." Her only response was another soft whine.

"I know beautiful but it's the best I can do until mommy comes home," he sighed as he offered her the bottle which she reluctantly took.

~Angelus~

Angel glanced up, "Hmm?"

~~Angelus come play with me! Leave that pathetic bastard behind!~ the voice echoed in his mind.

He glanced around, "What pathetic bastard?"

~Angel...~

All the while Serenity stared out the window whining.

"What's wrong beautiful?" Angel bounced her gently who simply clung to him all day and into the night.
