A Chance of a Lifetime

Chapter 1: An Interview With An Actress

It all started out as just one of those things. I've done it all 
before. The usually fluff peice. I've done so many of them before I 
can ask and answer them in my sleep. It's always the same. The only 
thing that changed was the person being interviewed. This time it
was 
Cordelia Chase, the newest female action hero. The only thing that 
differed in this particular fluff peice was the reason for it. 
Basically it was "Yep, I'm Gay: The Next Generation." Cordelia Chase 
was caught in bed with a woman. There were pictures and everything. 
It was contversial to the extreme. I mean no one suspected a thing. 
Cordelia Chase was the wet dream of every man in America. Well I 
guess she is now more then ever. Everyone knows how men fantasize. 
Its just so....

Well I'm getting off the point. The reason for the interview was to 
find out who the woman was. That and to find out if it was a 
perminent thing or just one of those things that sometimes happens. 

Well I met Cordelia at the set of her newest movie, "Hanna, The 
Vampire Slayer." It was supposed to be a spoof of vampire legends
and 
cheerleaders. Well the interview went the usual way. The usuall
who, 
what, where, when questions. Then things got interesting.....

"So Cordelia, who is this woman you were photographed in bed with?" 
I 
asked.

Cordelia smiled a little, "Her name is Kate Lockley. Up until a two 
years ago she was a police officer in LA. Now she is a Private 
Investigator."

"A PI?" 

Cordelia smiled again, "Yeah well...."

I smiled, "So how long has your relationship been going on?"

"Well its relivily new. Actually...." Cordelia paused, "I think that 
was our first time."

"Oh." 

"I never really dated women before. I never even considered it an 
option. Then things changed and I fell in love. It happened all at 
once." 

"How long have you two known each other?"

"Well we met through a mutual friend. My boss at the time actually. "

"And you became friends?"

Thats when I noticed Cordelia sqirm a little, "Not at first. Kate
and 
my boss had a few problems and.... well....."

Well from there I asked her about her childhood. She told me about 
her highschool years. Who she was, who dated. Everything went 
according to plan. Not a hair out a place. Every question asked and 
answered. But something struck me as odd.

Something didn't feel right.

There was just something that made the reporter in me.....uneasy. 
There was a story here.

And something told me this story was a chance of a lifetime.



Chapter 2: No Convictions, No Arrests.

Alright, so I admit it. I know some people who bed the law a little.

I'm a reporter. I'm paid to find the nitty gritty. Yeah yeah, I 
know. I work for a paper that's just a step above a tabloid but I'm 
still a reporter.

I asked a hacker friend of mine to investigate Cordelia Chase. He
was 
all for it. He, like most men, had the major hots for the woman. He 
didn't know why I was so interested but he owed me a favor so he 
agreed.

I had just managed to believe that I was wrong about Miss Chase when
I 
got a call from him. 

"So what is it Charlie?" I asked when I entered his appartment.

"You won't believe what I found."

He was right. What I found I didn't believe. Cordelia Chase had a 
record.

NAME: Cordelia Chase
ALIASES: Queen C
1 Count Breaking and Entering: Case closed due to lack of evidence.
1 Count Theft of Goverment property :Case closed due to lack of 
evidence.
1 Count Arson: Case closed due to lack of evidence.
Cordelia Chase is a know associate of the Scooby Gang.


"What's the Scooby Gang?" I asked after a minute.

"Thats the funny thing. Its a local gang in Sunnydale California. 
Very small and yet very powerful." Charlie paused, "I did some 
research on them as well."

"And?"

Charlie chuckled, "All of them have records. Everything from
assualt, 
to arson, to murder."

"Murder?"

"Yup, three of them have been suspects in three different murder 
cases. No convictions however. As a matter of fact, there were
never 
even any arrests. All the cases were dropped due to..."

"Let me guess, lack of evidence."

"That's right." Charlie paused, "Oh and by the way. Cordelia's 
girlfriend, the ex-cop."

"Yeah?"

"She didn't quit her job. She was fired."

"Fired?"

"Yeah, from all accounts, she was a born cop. One from a long line
of 
cops. Then her father was murdered and well she went a little nuts. 
Started believing in vampires and monsters. Started hanging out with 
a detective by the name of Angel."

"Angel?"

"Yeah, you heard of him?"

"Cordelia worked for him."

"Oh by the way, Angel used to live in Sunnydale."

"Well I guess this means I'm going to Sunnydale."



I promise some Buffy Willow in Chapter 3
