Pay close attention to that man behind the curtain

Or should I say those lawyers?

Love? You happen to know anything about LA lawyers?

They stay crunchy in milk?

*begins to knead your shoulders while studying the screen*

Wolfram and Hart? That's who's responsible for snatching you?

*winces*

Ouch, not quite so hard.

Yeah, as far as I can tell, they're the ones who gave the order. I thought maybe they were just another go-between, but the trail stops with them. There's a memo I managed to get a look at--I didn't dare try to make a copy--but it seems to be about me getting kidnapped and you rescuing me.

Sorry, love.

*gently pats your shoulders*

Wolfram and Hart...what would Wolfram and Hart want with you?

*raises an eyebrow*

Okay, now I admit I'm not the hottest cyberwitch on the planet, but I'm no has-been or never-gonna-be either. I'd think they'd want me for whatever purposes a big evil law firm could come up with.

*waggles eyebrows suggestively*

I think you're the hottest cyberwitch on the planet--

*stops at your look and turns serious again*

That's what worries me, love. What do they want with you? Don't they already have a cyberwitch of their own? Or are you the first they've seen? Or do they want you in particular?

I don't know.

*begins to rub her hands up and down her arms*

The memo didn't say anything about why, and I was ... well, I wasn't sure I should dare to stay in their network any longer.

I got a little scared, I guess.

*drops a kiss on the top of your head*

Precious, there's nothing wrong with bein scared. Specially of folks like Wolfram and Hart.

You're not gonna try and break into their network again, are you? They already know you're home and safe...no point in letting 'em know you know who they are.

No, I don't feel like taking that kind of risk, so no worries there. I just wish we had more data.

*drums fingers against the desk*

I don't suppose those "corporate hacks" said anything useful before they--before you got me out of there, did they?

*face darkens angrily*

Oh, they had plenty to say...dunno how much of it you'd consider "useful," though. Stuff like, "Who're you working for?" "Whatever they're paying you, we can double it." "Nothing personal--we're just doing our job."

*realizes he's clenching your chair hard enough to dent the plastic*

*twists her head so she's looking into your eyes*

That bad, huh.

*sighs*

You didn't tell me what they'd said ... guess I didn't really care enough to ask before now.

Doesn't matter one bit, darlin. We're done running. This time we fight.

I kinda like this crazy little town.

*nods decisively*

Yeah. It may not be the Sunnydale we're used to, but it's home now.

*smiles up at you*

Besides, we have a wedding to plan....

yancey_slide July 27 2003, 20:37:23 UTC
That we do, love.

*smiles back*

And anywhere you are is home to me.

*blinks back tears*

I know, love ... and you're my home, too.

*looks around at the apartment*

So is this, though. I've been thinking--I don't think they could've snatched me out of here. But I haven't really done much with the shop. I've been waiting on the video components of the security system to be installed. Maybe that's a mistake ... anything else you think we should do?

Anything we need to do to keep you safe.
