I was practically thrown out of the law firm despite my attempts to shake the guard off. All I got was tasered for my trouble and they didn't have half the talent at using it that Fred did. Fuck Harry. I was going to rip his head off when I saw him next and see if the next time they bring him back he manages to bring his common sense back with him ( Read more... )

I'd put in a long day at the school and despite the fact that I knew I should hit the streets and do some patrolling, all I wanted to do was come home and chill out with my girlfriend. Yes, I said girlfriend. Felt good too. So, I drove home, grabbed a quick shower and called Izzi to see if she wanted to just have a quiet night in at my place. Shannon was out for the night, she'd actually left me a note. Gotta say I was pretty surprised by that, but it was cool. I kinda liked having her around, it seemed like we'd started actually getting along and stuff ( ... )

"I'm on my way," I told her, before hanging up. It was best we have the discussion in person because chances were if I told her on the phone she'd just haul ass to the firm. I didn't want her going there alone. I wasn't sure if she and I could get past security together or not, but we had a better chance as a team ( ... )

He just told me he was on his way and hung up. Damn, this didn't sound good. And how the hell did Connor know about Shannon? Which only led me to believe something was going down that I wasn't gonna like ( ... )

"Hey," I said to Izzi when she was introduced to me. I felt kind of bad for barging in on them, but this was about Kennedy's sister. Maybe she would have more luck getting her sister under control than I had reigning my brother in. Ugh brother, I kind of hated that I thought about him that way ( ... )

I barely heard Izzi say she was going to get drinks, I was too focused on Connor and him telling me what the hell was going on with Shannon. As she left the room, I looked at him expectantly. Come on miracle boy, spill it. You're killing me here ( ... )

Moving back into the room, having heard everything, I offered Connor a glass of the wine we'd been drinking with dinner. I second thought handing Kennedy one because I could already see it splashed across the wall. Putting it, and the bottle down, I moved over where she was putting on her shoes.

"Wait a second." I said, grabbing her hands and holding them firmly still. "What the Hell is going on? Your sister is with some guy at a law firm and you're getting all heated over that?" I asked.

She started to argue with me, but I shook my head. "No, I heard you. Harry is... taken. And your sister shouldn't be messing with a married man. But she's not in danger, so it's not really any of your business what mistakes she makes until you're cleaning up her mess. Again."

I looked up at Connor. "She's not in any trouble, is she?" I asked. "Outside from the obvious of what Kennedy told me about this place making all of those lawyer jokes seem obsolete with their level of depravity."

"I don't think he plans to hurt her, no," I admitted. Then I looked at Kennedy and couldn't resist asking, "She's not the type to want to be his chew toy right? Because he may not bite her without permission, but with the lack of soul and current lack of judgment who knows if he would go for it if she offered ( ... )

"It's more than that! You don't understand Iz, he--" I tried to argue but she cut me off, basically telling me it wasn't my business. Fuck that, it's totally my business. My sister is hooking up with some vampire without a soul. Not only that, but he's my best friend's husband! This is so not cool ( ... )

Neutered? A vampire can be neutered? I tilted my head a little in thought, still looking at Connor, but only in the way your eyes are on something when you lose focus and take a solo trip out to la la land for a moment. This whole thing, this life, it just kept getting weirder and weirder ( ... )

"If he was going to hurt her I doubt he would do it now anyway. Not when he's been spotted by me with her and went to the trouble of making an introduction."

I sighed as I looked down at the coffee table. I understood the rage. I wouldn't mind ripping some thing apart right now. God I had to go back to tell Dad and Faith about this. Awesome.

"No matter what a dumbass he is and how much he may be wanting to hurt Dad and Faith for the cage stunt, you're his kids aunt. He's not going to hurt someone who is important to you. Harry doesn't work that way."

So, basically he came back from hell without his soul, and sort of in heat. Great. Can we please lock him up again? The cage was looking better and better all the time.

"No, I'll tell them when I get back to the hotel. I don't want the kids to hear me though. They are already having a hell of a time adjusting to the fact their dad is back. If they hear he's shacking up with your sister...yeah let's not bring that to their attention if possible."

"No this is just Shannon's way of getting to me. She lives for it." I said angrily to Izzi. It wasn't directed at her, just me being mad over Shannon always doing something to piss me off. "This is the thanks I get for saving her ass from those soul stealing demons. Instead, she goes and hooks up with someone without a soul. Talk about her great ideas." I rolled my eyes in disgust. Yeah, I was pissed. I couldn't help it ( ... )

"Maybe she doesn't know." I suggested. "Shannon just came in to town, what? A few days ago? A week or two maybe, tops? And all of this has gone down in that amount of the time. What are the chances she knows when you just found out yourself and you're actually a lot closer to all of these people than she is ( ... )

I understood why Kennedy wanted to charge in and grab her sister. Hell, my plan had been to wait for Harry to come home and grab him. Now in retrospect I realized grabbing anyone from the belly of the beast wasn't going to work ( ... )

I looked at Izzi with a frown as she tried to .... defend Shannon? Okay, what the hell was that about? Shannon was trying to get to me, she was always trying to do something to piss me off. It's just how she worked. Why should it be any different just because I saved her freaking life?

I knew that what she was telling me made sense. And it was a better plan than storming in there and getting my ass tasered. But, I didn't like the word 'no' and when I wanted something, I was used to getting it. Right now, that something was Shannon back here in one piece and away from Harry Osborn. But this time, I wasn't getting what I wanted and I definitely didn't like it. I wanted to throw another tantrum, but I had a feeling if I kicked or threw anything else Izzi would pull her big sleeper grip on me and I'd end up unconscious. I wasn't helping anyone that way.

And Connor's gonna agree with her? Who's on my side here? Anyone? See, now Faith would be busting up in that place with me, no questions asked. No matter what the sitch was. Maybe I ( ... )

Everything was starting to sound reasonable again. Until Connor mentioned Faith's father taking people apart in pieces. What the Hell? Who does that? And what was he if he could take a Slayer apart? In pieces, no less ( ... )
