Welcome to Hell. Please notice the absence of any emergency exits. This is not an oversight on our part, they simply do not exist. If you come here, you're here to stay. The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner we can get down to business and things will be more pleasant all round.

And who is this woman? The ram? The ram of what? And why the bloody hell is that sodding bugger McDonald here with me? Did he just cut something out of himself? That's it, I'm having a nightmare. No sane person would do that. Confused, I glance down at myself. There's a big gaping hole in my stomach. I touch it gingerly, it hurts like hell. And my hands, they're covered in blood, but at least it's my own.
This time.
Where am I? I look up at this...Ram...thing...woman again. My eyes wide with confusion. She and that git are talking as though it's perfectly normal to be talking in the presence of someone who's dead. Someone who's dead and sitting up, looking on and hearing things. Can they even see me? Hear me? "What the bloody hell is going on?"

On their side? Wait just one sodding minute. What made her think I was going to be on *her* side? The hell I was. And no contract was going to force me to do so. No contract was going to force me to work against Angel.
Narrowing my eyes, I open my mouth to say just that. Stupid little furball want to be. Then another part of her long winded speech struck me. Angel signed away his shanshu? The bloody git! I was going to have a word with him about that. Dammit! He worked so hard for that, just to sign it away. I doubt Mister Spike would even want it ( ... )

Wes is giving me a glare that made Holland's seem like nothing. I'd proably pay for my little comments later. But I was dead now, so what did it matter? Even if Angel snaped his neck, it wouldn't kill him anyway. Maybe he'd need to duct tape it back on straight.
"Um excuse me. If I'm his assistant, what exactly will I be doing while he goes up to play with his friends?" I'm amazed Angel didn't just have them all murdered and be done with it. 'If I'm going to die, I'm taking the rest of you down too' isn't a really great attitude for a leader to have. Fucking jackass.

"That's the spirit." I nod at him before turning my attention to MacDonald. He too is looking rather pissed-off, although this time I don't think it's aimed at me.
Part of me is tempted to keep MacDonald behind now and pop him the offer straightaway. Right now he looks like he'd happily dust Angel and scatter his ashes over a dung heap without so much as a tear. However, appearances can be deceiving. MacDonald has appeared dedicated to us before, and then suddenly done a 180 degree turn over something as trivial as children or a spare appendage. So I just gaze at him evenly.
"You will do whatever our Liaison decides you should do," I say. "His job will be to assist Angel in getting the LA offices back up to scratch. So doubtless he will be very busy, and in such cases, you will be reporting to us on his behalf."
