Making a Deal part1
Who:Lilah & Candi
Where:Giovanni's Pizza
When:Thursaday Night
Candi was, in a word, pissed. Her last watcher was barely cold, and they already sent some new, cocky young guy to replace her. Great. Shaking her head as she grumbled to herself, the girl stood in Giovanni's Pizza, her usual hangout, and kicked the video game machine she was playing, walking towards the counter for water. It was free, after all.
Lilah had done her homework, before coming to this sad excuse for a pizza joint. The girl she was looking for was luckily for Lilah in just the right mind state that she could be swayed over to Wolfram and Hart's side. Lilah parked her car and walked into the pizza place, trying not to have to really touch anything.
Candi sighed, chugging down the paper cup of water, reaching behind her to tie her hair into a ponytail. She wore tight navy blue jeans, black combat boots, and a midriff-baring, slightly faded Mega death shirt.
Lilah took a quick second look at the file she'd brought with her, and noted that she was in the right place. She had come from the office, so she was still wearing her black Chanel pencil skirt, emerald green silk blouse, and black Jimmy Choo stiletto pumps. She walked over to where Candi was standing.
The teen looked Lilah over, and gave a wry smirk. "Damn, lady, are YOU in the wrong place. Aint no pizza good enough to risk your prissy little ass coming here dressed like that."
"I'm not here for the food or hell even the atmosphere; I'm here to see you actually." Lilah had had a long day and wasn't in the mood to really dance around the issue of why she was here.
"Me. Right." She looked around, sighing. "The things you heard about this place are true, babe... but I ain't holding. I stopped dealing about a year ago."
Lilah laughed. "Not here for that either Candi” she said.
"Alright, then what do you want? If it involves getting naked, consider the answer yes." She said with a little wink.
Lilah smiled. "I'm flattered, but no it's more of a. job opportunity."
"Oh. Great." She sighed, not wanting to say too much in public. "If you're here from the 'Council' again, I already said I'd work with that fuckin' guy that found me yesterday. So kinda back off."
"Oh I'm not from the Watcher's Council." She smiled.
"Ok, then what's the deal? And it better be good, cuz I'm about ten seconds from going back to the Mortal Kombat machine and using Baraka to cut a bitch." Candi said with a nonchalant huff.
"Well we've heard that you've been feeling a bit alone and angry at life in general and we think we can help." She handed Candi her card.
"Wolfram & H..." she cut herself off.”You gotta be fucking kidding me. Don't we like beat you assholes up for fun?"
Lilah shrugged, "Just figured we'd offer you an alternative to the 'all mighty' Watcher's Council." She smiled.
"And what alternative is that? What could you possibly offer me, that you think I'd go all Dark Side?" She asked, crossing her arms, even while a part of her knew that just months ago, she wouldn't have let the conversation get THIS far.
"A better life than what you've got now as a start."
"Details." Candi said.
"No lame Watcher to deal with, a better place to live... do I really need to keep going?" Lilah asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Yeah. Because I know with you people nothing comes without a price. What is it you expect of me?" But clearly, her eyes betrayed her... and she was considering it.
"Nothing for the time being." Lilah answered her.
"I'm not bad... I'm not." She said, although it sounded more like she was saying it to herself than to Lilah. "I'm just so tired of living like this... I just want what I deserve."
"And you'll get what you deserve." Lilah stated.
Candi stuffed the card in the back pocket of her jeans. "....I need to think. And until I make a decision? I think you should leave. You don't wanna be here if I decide NOT to come with you."
Lilah shrugged. "Alright have it your way, my cell number's on the back." She started to leave.
Candi watched her go, wondering just how willing she was, to sell herself to the devil.
Lilah got in her car and just sat waiting a few moments, just in case the girl changed her mind.
