"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to borrow Knox for a bit. I promise to return him when I'm done. Senior Partners' orders. You understand, of course."
Don't tell me the Senior Partners don't approve of our methods. Are they afraid of the job being a little too well done? I asked him in here so that Illyria could see the possibilities that still exist for her within the firm. Life, death, that irritatingly unequipped body of hers. We can give back her power more easily than it was taken away.
"Take your time. As long as you return him alive, I don't see anything wrong with you speaking to Knox. Do you, Lindsey?"
Team player that I am, I'll be cooperative enough to let Lindsey answer for himself. We're running this show with an equal amount of authority; I plan on keeping the peace for as long as necessary. When it comes time for the Black Thorn to make their judgement of us, I'll let the rules slide a little.
Until then? Let's just say I know what the Senior Partners are expecting, and I won't appear to let them down. I do happen to have a few plans for my partner, but we can discuss them privately.
My /God/ was standing there in front of me, for one thing. Illyria was close enough to touch.
And I was being taken away?
Was this the Senior Partner's idea of a joke? THeir special way of dealing with karma? No offense, but I think I'd rather be dead than deal with this existence. Kept from my true calling by a contract? Only at Wolfram and Hart.
And even with all my mental protests, I listened. I followed her out.

And I hated myself for it.
