Angel had spent most of the night away from New Orleans doing business in Shreveport. It was a bigger city population wise than New Orleans now, after Hurricane Katrina, so it made sense that there would be people there that he had to talk to. The only reason Wolfram & Hart hadn't moved their headquarters from New Orleans was because it was a lot of effort, not even taking into account the supernatural things that would have to be moved. Plus, most people were happy to travel to New Orleans

"I'll do what I can." He could at least help so that the others wouldn't have to watch themselves so bad in public. He was sure he could do something for Buffy as well. He just wasn't sure how much heat he could take off of her. If nothing else, he could always have Gunn defend her. He had every law known to man and demon loaded up into his head. Should be useful to Buffy
( ... )
"Oh," Buffy said, surprised, "Well, that's good. I'm glad you guys are trying to turn it around. Be careful with that though," she said, "I'm sure those kinds of places are, like, rooted in evil and it's hard to--well--uproot it."
She smirked slightly at his comment about good people needing defense lawyers, "Preaching to the choir here."
Buffy shrugged, "That's what he and his lower food chain vamps call him. I don't really get the whole hierarchy down here, but if it keeps me killing and not getting killed, then I'm cool with it." She nodded, "For now, anyway. I think some vampires have caught on to our little deal. A couple newbie vampires tried to take us out a few days ago."
"It is rooted in evil," Angel admitted to her. While he wasn't going to say it, it WAS the base of operations for Wolfram & Hart, the Home Office, so they had told him. He wasn't totally sure if they had been truthful with him about that. There had to be worse places than here. There really just had to be. It was what he was going to keep telling himself anyway.
"Well, if you're needing a lawyer, I know a good one that I can trust," he said, thinking of Gunn. He certainly hoped that no one had put anything weird in Gunn's head. So far he hadn't given off any alarm bells of that nature.
"I think they do it because it makes them feel better," Angel said with a roll of his eyes. "A lot of the vampires down here are a lot older as well." He didn't get the idea of the organization, though. Made it so that you had to interact with other vampires, which Angel was happy to never do.
"Words tend to spread around between vampires quickly," Angel said with a shrug. "Know who let the cat out of the bag yet?"
Buffy shrugged slightly, "Well, I might sooner or later if people keep calling me a terrorist. That's, like, slander or libel or something. But, I don't really have much of a defense after the whole bank robbing thing," she said sheepishly. "I think I'll just keep staying out of the public's eye for now."
She nodded, "Yeah, I think Eric is in the thousands or something, age-wise." She doubted that either Angel or Spike would ever want to be part of the official vampire society, souls or not. They definitely played by their own rules.
She shook her head, "Not yet. We have a lead, but that's about it. We're going to check it out and see where it takes us."
"Robbing a bank is one thing, but calling you a terrorist is a completely different matter." Wolfram & Hart could certainly get her out of the robbery charge with community service or something like that. She hadn't been the one who destroyed Sunnydale, though. It had kind of destroyed itself, honestly.
Angel arched an eyebrow when Buffy explained that Eric was in the thousands of years old. "Not many vampires live that long," he said, honestly a little astounded at the idea of someone living that long. Most vampires did good to live past their first night, much less for any real amount of time. Someone who had seen a millennia pass...even Angel sort of wanted to pick their head.
"Let me know how that turns out, or if you need any help or anything, OK?"
"So it seems," Buffy said, "Maybe that's why he's sort of ruling down here because he's so old." He sure doesn't look that old though, she thought.
She finished her drink and gave Angel a grateful smile, "Thanks. I will. It's nice that you guys are down here. Makes me feel a little less alone in all this craziness," she said.
