The Devil's Charm

"Wolfram and Hart. Please Hold." Cordelia pressed button, "Wolfram 
and Hart. Please hold." Cordelia pressed yet another button, "Wolfram 
and Hart. Please hold."

Cordelia had been working at Wolfram and Hart for three days now and 
every day was the same.

"Wolfram and Hart. Please hold."

When Cordelia had gone looking for a job at the law firm she had 
expected to get a job that suited her. Maybe a lawyer's assistant or 
a clerk of some sort. Instead she was a secretary. 

*** Why do I always have to be a secretary? I have skills ***

"Wolfram and Hart. Please Hold. "

The night before Cordelia went looking for a job at the law firm, she 
had called Willow up for some hacking tips. She had also managed to 
get the lowdown on what was going on in Sunnydale. The thing that got 
her the most was that Willow was dating a girl. 

*** We finally have something in common ***

The two women had talked for hours about their latest significant 
others and how everyone reacted to them. While they were doing this, 
Willow hacked into a bunch of computers and had gotten Cordelia a new 
name, social security number and had even developed a shady passed for 
the prom queen.

*** Well I should have been prom queen ****

Cordelia's name was now Delia Black. She was born in San Francisco to 
a boozing father and an uncaring mother. Her family moved around alot 
and she had no real ties to anything. Oh yeah and she made sure to 
tell the guy interviewing her that she knew about demons and the like. 
Cordelia knew that was what got her the job.

*** That and I flirted with the loser. ***

Now Cordelia (AKA Delia Black) was a secretary at Wolfram and Hart. 
Her job was to pour coffee, blood, or whatever the client wanted. Her 
immediate boss was a guy by the name of Lee Mercer. From what 
Cordelia heard he was a bigwig. 

*** At least I'm working for someone important. ***

"Wolfram and Hart. Please Hold. "

"Hello Delia."

Cordelia looked up, "Oh Hi. Mr. Mercer. You have a ton of messages."

"Thank you Delia." Lee smiled, "Anything important?"

"Uhh, a message from a demon named Xavier. Wanted to know if the 
little problem he had has been taken care of."

"If he calls back tell him yes."

Cordelia wrote a message on a piece of paper, "A chaos demon stopped 
by a little while ago, I told him you were busy, He said if you didn't 
get back to him, he'd eat your flesh."

Lee smiled, "Tell him I'll eat his first."

Again Cordelia wrote on a piece of paper, "You're wife called."

Lee frowned, "Oh yes, the dinner party." Lee then smiled, "There 
wouldn't happen to be an emergency that I can deal with to get out of 
it?"

"No Sorry." Cordelia smiled.

"Oh well." Lee paused, "I need you to do me a favor."

"Sure." Cordelia paused, "What is it?"

"There's a detective agency I need you to get some info on."

"Uhhh sir. I'm just a secretary." Cordelia said worried.

Lee smiled, "You are no such thing. You're records say that but I 
think you are destined for great things here at our little law firm."

Cordelia beamed despite herself, "Thank you sir."

"So will you do the research?"

"Sure."

"This Detective has been a thorn in our side for too long now, and 
with the new partner who will be arriving soon we don't need the 
headache."

"What's the name of the Detective?" Cordelia asked already knowing 
the answer.

"He's a vampire, named Angel." Lee frowned, "I want all the info you 
can dig up, so to speak."

Cordelia felt her face go white, "I'll do my best."

"I'm sure a smart girl like you won't disappoint me." Lee turned to 
walk away, "Oh and by the way, file this for me." Lee handed a manila 
envelope to Cordelia.

Cordelia waited for Lee to walk away and then opened the envelope. 
Inside was everything she wanted and needed to know about a vampire by 
the name of Jeffrey Trinker.

*** It's time to get the hell out of dodge. ***
