bad week gets better?

[satanlawyer]

Lilah had had yet another bad day at the office,Nathan Reed had disappeared presumed dead and she had gotten a new boss who was in her opinion an ass. His name was Linwood Murrow. So now after about eight hours of working her ass off at the office, Lilah had decided that she needed a little pick me up, so here she was at her usual hole in the wall bar. She'd been in Los Angeles over two years, before finding this place. The bar she was currently sitting in was called Paradise and they had the best drinks in town. She had a few other bars that she went to, but this one was her favorite.

Paradise was small had just the right light smoky atmosphere, good music that wasn't loud annoying techno crap that all the other trendy bars in town had. Best of all no one from Wolfram and Hart came here that alone made it worth it. She'd been coming here so often now that she knew the bartender and owner Billy by name.

She came in and sat at her usual spot at the bar and ordered her usual drink of choice when here, a Cosmo only tonight she told Billy to make it on the stronger side. She sat at the bar sipping her Cosmo and doing some people watching.

She took a moment to massage her neck and wrist before looking at him. "I can do that I just need a name." She smiled faintly. This was at least a start of hopefully a new client relationship.

"I only have one name. By the time I recovered and went after their trail, I was only able to find one name." His grin disappeared and he slammed his fist through the wall.

He flexed his hand as he brought it back.

"The name I found was Adam 'Killheart' Jones. Apparently weird nicknames were in back then."

Lilah did her level best not to flinch when he slammed his fist into the wall. "Interesting name...I 'll see what I can get." She smiled. "Looks like you 'll be needing my business card after all. Since I 'm basically making you a client it 'd be nice if I knew what to call you? "

[allrunred]

He rested his scraped, healing hand on the wall next to her head.

"Me? I have gone by many names. Monster, villain, murderer, devil, demon and the less extravagant, James."

[satanlawyer]

"I think I 'll just stick with calling you James, if that's okay? " she smiled and moved away from the wall. "Getting the information you want should only take a few days, maybe less.."

[allrunred]

"Where are you going?" He arched a brow as she moved.

[satanlawyer]

Hopefully home she thought as she looked at him. "I can't find him from here..." she had a few people that she could call to start the ball rolling, but she 'd need her cell for that.

[allrunred]

"I guess I should take you back then..." He shrugged and moved to grab her arm. He wouldn't admit it but being a monster had its downfalls. No matter what anyone says, everybody can get lonely, even evil people.

[satanlawyer]

She let him grab her arm to take her back to her car. The cosmos must 've gotten to her some, because she was actually considering having him go to her apartment.

[allrunred]

This time he was more gentle and held her a little closer. Didn't want to accidentally kill her as he moved that quick.

Moments later, they were back at her car. He stared at her for a long moment before letting her go. There was something about her. He didn't understand it. He had no idea why he followed her, wanted to hurt and didn't kill her.

[satanlawyer]

Once they were back at her car she unlocked and opened the driver's side door. "So how do I get in touch with you? " if and when she found out the info he wanted She'd need a way to contact him to let him know.

[allrunred]

For some reason, he hadn't thought of that. His brow furrowed.

"No idea." He paused. "Maybe I'll follow you home and drop in every now and again."

[satanlawyer]

"Yeah or you could be like everyone else and get a cell phone." She got in her car and started the engine. She was well aware that she couldn't actually stop him from dropping by her place, but she could not invite him inside.

[allrunred]

He grabbed her shoulder roughly.

"I'm not like everyone else." He basically snarled it at her.

[satanlawyer]

She sighed and looked at him. "Fine do things your way, can I go now? " she asked hoping the answer was yes.

[allrunred]

He growled but let her go, stepping back.

"Whatever." Sometimes he was childish. He stared at her, his eyes faintly red as he leaned back against the alley wall.

She drove home and tried not to think too much about him just showing up at her place.

Not long after she was home, Lilah went about her usual night time routine. She 'd showered changed into Panama bottoms and a tank top,washed her face and she was now curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine. She 'd also made a few calls for James, but nothing had turned up yet.

[allrunred]

He watched her drive away a good distance before tailing her. He stayed in the shadows but kept up easily with the car.

When they reached her home, he took note of all the exits and entry points before following through with checking her security. As he circled the building he caught a glimpse of her on the couch and stared for a long moment.

This one was going to get to him, he could sense it.
