Making a Deal part 2
Who:Lilah,Candi & Lindsey
Where:Lilah's office Wolfram&Hart
When:Friday Morning
Lilah's assistant looked up from her computer, and paused in saying "Wolfram and Hart, Lilah Morgan's office please hold." She looked at the girl. "Can I help you?"
A thin, young girl stood in front of the secretary. Long, dirty blonde hair (that was now two-toned from starting to change back to its natural brown) hung slightly in her eyes, and her gaze met not the woman behind the desk, but the floor. She looked to all like the most harmless, unintimidating thing alive. Then... she spoke. Her voice had a sad, shameful ring to it, and was barely audible to anyone who wasn’t trying like hell to listen. "...I'm here to see Ms. Morgan. My name... is Candi Harrington."
The woman looked at her. "I'm sorry do you have an appointment?"
"No... But I do have a sort of standing invitation. If you ask her... I think she'll want to see me. Tell her... I'm here to accept her offer." Candi said the last part with an audible self-loathing in her voice.
"Sorry kid, but Ms. Morgan doesn't see anyone without an appointment, and she's in a meeting right now."
Sigh. See... this kind of situation right here? Is why Candi knew that she had to accept the offer Not only was she able to finally get the things she wanted in life... but things like what she was about to do? Were not looked upon with smiles and applause by the Watchers. She let out a long sigh, then reached over the desk, and with one smooth series of movements, grabbed the secretary by the hair, bounced her face off the desk like it was a basketball, then shoved her to the floor. "Sorry, babe. Didn't wanna have to do that." She then walked past the woman's desk, and pushed the doors to Lilah's office open.
Lilah was sitting in her office working on her computer, when her office doors opened. She looked up and sighed. "Please tell me you left my assistant intact?"
Before answering, Candi peeked sheepishly back out to the lobby. "Um. Yeah. She, um... she's a little bloody? And I think her nose is prolly broken. But other than that she'll be just dandy."
"Great... guess it's time for a new one. So I'm guessing you're here, because you've decided to take up my offer."
"I'm here... because I realized your offer is the only way I'm gonna get through life being who I really am, and not pretending to play nice for others." She didn't want to be evil, she really didn't.
"Alright then have a seat and we can talk." She gestured to the door for her to close it.
Closing the door without so much as a second thought about the welfare of the secretary, Candi shut the door, and sat down... on Lilah's desk.
"Chair please...” The only one she allowed to do that was Lindsey.
Sliding from the desk, she was standing again in one fluid motion. She wasn't ready to take orders from Lilah quite yet. So, for now? She'd stand. "So... talk."
Your job here would be simple, you just integrate yourself into the group of slayers and we'll give you the lifestyle you've always wanted in return."
"Shit... I'm already in with them." Candi sighed again, looking away. "The only real friend I have is one of them."
Lilah looked at her. "Well... did you ever consider that maybe they're not really your friend?" She asked.
Candi paused there... had Faith ever really given her reason to doubt her loyalty? "I... I don't know. She's never hurt me..."
"So it's just a matter of time." Lilah pointed out.
"Why don't... I mean... let me think about that part. I'll help you guys, and I won't say anything to Faith..." she sighed. "But I'm not gonna hurt her until I think I have a reason to."
Lilah shrugged. "Fine fair enough." She didn't see a problem with it.
"Alright. Because the others... I don't wanna hurt them, but if I have to I will. But Faith's been nothing but good to me."
"So then we have a deal?" Lilah asked her as she thought of someone who'd make a decent watcher.
"Fine." She didn't bother shaking Lilah's hand. She'd already sold her soul to the devil... no use making nice with the devil as well. "So, what... do I go all Sith Lord here? Do I have like, a Dark Watcher or some shit? Wear black robes, etcetera?"
"You'll get a new Watcher, but that's about it for now." Lilah explained.
"Yeah, whatever. Just let me know who to report to and I'll do it. Now, can I collect my thirty pieces of silver?" Sure, she felt like Judas... may as well act the part.
"Sure." Lilah said as she got up from her desk.
"Smartass." Candi muttered, watching her. "So when does this 'great new life' start?"
"First thing tomorrow morning if you want." Lilah explained to her, know it'd take at least the rest of the day to get her all set up.
"Alright then. Tomorrow morning, I wanna have a nice place set up, and some money in my account. If not, you can kiss my ass and I go to the Council with ALL this." The girl glared at Lilah, meaning every word.
"Alright it'll all be taken care of." Lilah informed her, then she went back to her desk.
