Ubi Panis Ibi Patria
Where there is bread, there is one's fatherland.

I repeated Virgil's words to myself as I unpacked my things at the large wooden desk in a classroom that was assigned to be mine.

Here I was, a lawyer from Wolfram and Hart, stuck teaching a literature class at Sunnydale High School.

I came under protest of course. But when Holland Manners wants something, he usually gets it. And unfortunately for yours truly, what he wants right now is someone undercover in Sunnydale to watch over Angelus.

While deciphering some prophecies, we came across mentions of a vampire with a soul playing a major role in the apocalypse. And since that is the senior partner's modus operandi, Manners started to seek out this vampire. I was the first one to discover the gypsy curse and Angelus.

Of course no one knows that though, because certain golden boys had to sneak into my office, break into my files, and presented them to Manners before I could get to him. So Lindsey mcdonald got the raise and the lush new office, while I got sophomore detail in Sunnyhell.

I finished putting my things away and let out a sigh of discontent, as I picked up a stick of chalk and began to write on the black board.

Students began to filter in, and I suppressed the urge to grimace at their bright and eager little faces. Couldn't Manners have found me a job at some local law firm? I could watch over Angelus just as easily from there. Why did it have to be here? Why?

The bell rang then, sealing my fate.
