This was the first time in LA for Xander, it was nothing like Sunnydale, the lights, the people, the music. In Sunnydale everything is dead by 3am. Its 4am here and everyone is out like it 4 in the afternoon. But unfortunatly this was not a social visit, he needed help, and there is only one person in LA he knew that could help him: Angel.
Xander paced in front of The Hyperion, debating with himself if he should go in. A sudden cool change came in, he cuddled up into himself. The leaves danced around in the wind. They sounded like footsteps, this scared him, and he ran inside.

The mysterious woman sneaks up behind the shivering and nervous Xander. "This doesn't seem like the place for a cold and shivering coward....Oh wait...it does actually."
The woman is revealed to be Lilah, who grins, and observes the man before speaking again. "Well well well...not only cowardly, but handsome also."
Lilah smiles at Xander, then walks around the hotel observing the atmosphere. This place hasn't changed much it seems...Lilah tells herself. She moves towards the reception desk and starts checking out the papers upon it, completely disregarding Xander altogether.
"Ha...who woulda thought...Angel Investigations is still on the prowl for vampires.... It seems I havn't missed much around here."

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Xander asked the woman, that had snuck up on him. He didn't know this woman, but he knew of this kind of woman. With her fancy clothes, and the way she walked, like she had a rod up her butt. She didn't work here, because he knows just about everyone who works at Angel Investigations. "And where's Angel?" He asked.

Lilah finally aknowledges the man, who appears to be talking to her. She gives a glance towards him. "I'm Lilah Morgan, your looking for Angel? That's interesting...."
Lilah shows more interest in this man she once brushed off completely. "And I would like to know where Angel is also....we have history".

"Yeah very interesting" Xander said with out letting the sarcasm in his voice be heard. "I'm Xander Harris, I also have history with him. How do you know him anyway?" Xander could see the intrest she had for him, because he was also growing interested in her.

Lilah puts her hands on her hips and shows a deep smile. "You know what...I am starting to believe that you aren't just one of his damsels in distress..." Lilah was showing keen interest in this joker of a man, and wanted to find out more.
"How do I know Angel? Honey, you don't seem like the type that likes to listen to essays, so how about we just skip the formalities? Let me put it to you this way...he will be more surprised to see me than he would be you."
Lilah smiles, then slowly pulls down the collar of her sweater, revealing a scar she recieved from Jasmine.
"I'm sure you can understand why, now can't you?"

"Oh my god, he killed you!" Xander bellowed. "Is he Angelus again? I knew I shouldn't have come, I knew it! Buffy's gonna kill me!" His panicing was starting to take a toll on him. "Wait, if he killed you, then your a vampire!" Xander spotted a stake on the desk. He ran over to it, and grabs it. He points the stick towards Lilah, in the a fighting position just in case they have to fight. He reaches into his inside jacket pocket and brings out a cross, that he also holds up to Lilah, but she doesn't seem to be affected by it. "Back demon!" Xander yelled.

Lilah shows caution on her face. "Do you honestly think that a demon would look this good? Of course not...I am not here for trouble, I am here for business..which does not involve you."
Lilah continues to read the documents placed on the desk, ignoring Xander yet again. "Hmm...where is everyone, isn't this place usually a day at the zoo?" Lilah chuckles, then looks at Xander again. "To answer your question...the demon hijacked Cordelia killed me, but why am I even telling you this?"

"No way, a demon hijacked Cordelia, as if she would let that happen!" Xander saw Lilah look at the papers on the desk, she doesn't work here, she shouldn't look at them. He swept the papers into his arms and put them neatly in a pile and place them behind the counter, doing all this with the stake and cross in one hand, just incase she is a demon. "I don't care if your dead and all and your here to see Angel, I want to know why you wanna see him?" He demanded.

Lilah laughed. "Woah, steady there tiger...let's not get too into it on our first meeting!" Lilah walks away from him and sits down at the couch and flings her legs up onto the chair.
"Don't get me wrong...I like you...but your not very good at being romantic are you? And I am not dead, I have merely returned to help the helpless and tell everyone about my inner peace!" Lilah looks at Xander's reaction, then chuckles again.
"Fine, you got me..I see sarchasm only works for you. What me and Angel do in our private lives has nothing to do with you. And as you don't know me and I don't know you...you arent from around here either."

"No I'm not from here. I'm from Sunnydale, and since you seem to be familiar with the concept of vampires, you should of have heard about the hellmouth. Yes I'm from the hellmouth. And don't flatter yourself, your not my type." Xander had a disturbing thought after he said that. "Gross" he mummbled to himself.

"Does the big and scary hellmouth give you nightmares at night? Thats cute." In this town, you have far worse things to worry about, but why make you wet yourself by telling you? How about I save that speech to the grown ups tiger. There are big things coming...If I were you I would run back to your pals in Sunnydale while you can."

"You think I'm scared, hello! Sunnydale is on the mouth of hell! It's the place where the monster from under your bed comes on vacation. If you've seen the things I've seen since living in Sunnydale, you would of...Done something else with your bowels. What do you mean that there are big things coming. Things like what. Like apocolypse?" This had gone from a friendly disscussion to who lives in a scarier place argument. Pathectic Xander thought.

Angel let everyone had the day off today. He felt it was needed since the aftermath of the Jasmine saga had the phones ringing off the hook. Several odd cases later, Angel felt a heavy weight in the hotel. He knew it wouldn't be lifted by a day off, but it certainly would help. So Angel sat in his room on the upper floor, musing about recent events. Why did the Powers that Be send Cordy up to that higher plane, just to set her up to be taken? And Conner, his son, the look on his face when he killed Jasmine--the cold numbness. He couldn't get the image out of his head.
In addition, there was a strange case that he decided to take up since giving the rest of the team a break. It was probably a simple case of a dead desperate boyfriend. But Angel decided to review the paper work anyway. Except, instead of doing that, his mind drifted elsewhere as he sat in the armchair in his room.
He looked down at the papers in his lap, shuffling through them, and found he was missing one from the desk. So he got up, went out into the hall, and started down the stairs, still shuffling through papers. When he got half way down the stairs, he looked up.
A look of bemusement spread across his features. The first person he saw was Lilah. To be frank, it was not unusual to see someone you thought was dead walk in the hotel, still dead. The fact that person was Lilah was very unusual. And to think, Angel almost had it in his mind that he had seen the last of Lilah. Of course, he felt sorry for Wesley's lost but he couldn't say that he was too disappointed.
Angel gave an exasperated sigh. "What are you doing here, Lilah? Couldn't wait long enough to haunt me in your afterlife?"
Finally his eyes landed on Xander, which was even more unusual. What was Xander doing in LA? And...Xander talking to Lilah. That wasn't unusual but more like...disturbing.
"Xander? It's good to see you, but again, I ask, what are you doing here?"

Lilah shows a devilish smirk on her face, and gets up from the comfortable chair. "Well...It's good to see you too Angel, I can finally talk with the big boy." Lilah gives Xander a wink, then brushes him off again, "Would you believe that once my contract with Wolfram & Hart was finally over...I was a free agent?"
Lilah began pacing the room, then goes and makes herself a coffee. She takes a sip, then shows quesyness on her face. "Is there anything decent in this place? Guess not..." Lilah continues to drink the coffee, forcing it down her throat.
"Anyway...I was a free agent, and with the impending apocalypse coming up...The Powers that Be, or the Powers that Was..wateva..sent me back to Earth to help you fight them, Wolfram & Hart. It is more dangerous then ever, and guess what Angel...your're the Mayfair on the Monopoly board...
"So anyway, which room will I be staying in?"
