You need to find a way...

I watched Faith leave and fought the urge to follow her. It was weird, the connection we had while we were having sex seemed to disappear the moment we put our clothes on. Except, maybe it didn't, because I swear she looked at me before walking out and I know I watched her until she was out of my line of vision. She had to be a slayer, and maybe I ( Read more... )

After Harmony had sashayed out of the room, I spent the next few minutes fiddling around on the computer until I was able to remember how to pull up employee records. Harmony was definitely getting underpaid for the kind of stuff she had to put up with. I wondered how hard it'd be to take care of that. Taking a long sip of the very, very good mug of blood she'd brought in, I took a moment just to relax.

I should have known it wouldn't last long.

"Sir? There's a young man here to see you? He doesn't have an appointment, but he says his name is Riley..."

Buffy's ex-boyfriend, the whitest-bread person I'd ever had the pleasure of pummeling? What the--

"... Connor Riley?"My heart doesn't beat, and right then, it was a mercy, because it definitely would have stopped right then and there. A hundred thousand horrible things flew through my mind in the two seconds it took me to hit the intercom button. Why in the hell would Connor be here? He shouldn't have had even remotely any reason to come to Wolfram & Hart, and find me. ( ... )

I was more than a little relieved when I heard the CEO's voice chime across the phone to send me in. I always had wicked keen senses, especially hearing, sight and smell, so it wasn't like I was trying to eavesdrop or anything. I walked into the office to find one very nervous guy staring at me like I was some puzzle he was trying to figure out. Weird. Of course, I'd been warned this place was weird so it was cool.

I approached his desk, and took a seat in the chair across from him without waiting to be asked to take a seat. He was kind of freaking me out with the way he was looking at me, but I shook off the feelings and forced myself to relax.

"Connor Riley, is it? What can I do for you, Connor?""Yes, sir. I was hoping maybe you could help me figure out what is wrong with me." I winced, as I replayed the words in my head. Man, now who sounded like the freak? "A friend of mine suggested that maybe the answers I'm looking for could be found here. That you guys sort of specialize in the abnormal ( ... )

Connor walked right up and dropped himself into a chair with that strange blend of awkward and graceful that only someone young and lanky like he could pull off. There was a quick flash of sadness, though, when I realized that all of Connor's coordination and physical ability had been developed and honed through hardship and hunting demons, not from playing Little League or climbing trees.

Did kids still climb trees?

I tried to relax as best as I could, but it was still Connor, still my son sitting in front of me, something I never thought I'd see again. Especially not with the last time we'd been this close having involved a very large knife and Connor's throat.

"Yes, sir. I was hoping maybe you could help me figure out what is wrong with me. A friend of mine suggested that maybe the answers I'm looking for could be found here. That you guys sort of specialize in the abnormal?"Frowning, I tried to think through the path that must have brought Connor from his happy, normal family life over in some suburb miles from L.A., all the ( ... )
