The three of them took the sewers to get into Wolfram & Hart unnoticed. Lilah knew of these tunnels...she had used them before with Wesley, and had found shelter in them for a while.
"Here we are guys...up these stairs is the storage room.
We have to be sneaky from now on, we don't know who could be hearing us." She glances at Xander. "I am talking to you."

"Do you have to be a bitch all the time?" Xander grinned at Lilah. He had only known her for a few hours but already she was getting on her nerves. "I've been with Buffy for what 7 and a half years now, I think I can handle myself." He said it, but he didn't believe it. Xander shoved past Lilah and started to ascend the stairs.

Lilah looks baffled at what Xander just said. She watches him climb the stairs. "Well...well, it seems that he has a pair after all...Good for you Xander". Lilah smirks, then proceeds to climb up after him.

Xander heard what Lilah said, he just pulls Lilah a look. "I just got to make a quick phone call" He leaves just so Lilah is out of earshot, can't say the same about Angel though.
"Hey Giles......Yeah think so.......when?...........Ok send her now then.......yep ok, we do need help........Bye." He clicks the phone shut, he makes his way past Lilah and walks into the storage closet.

Lilah starts laughing when Xander said he was making a call. She proceeds up the stairs, and when she sees that he had finished talking she smirks. "Did mommy forget to pack your lunch for the trip? Or was it your gang back at home telling you to wear your safety gear?"

Xander had an overwhelming desire to backhand Lilah, but he controlled himself. "Your lucky your already dead" he threatened. "And if it's any of your business, yeah that was the gang back home and they weren't talking about, they were however talking about the best way to kill dead people" Xander joked. "Now where do we go from here?"

"Oh...I'm not dead anymore, what don't you understand about the word ressurect...? Well first, you shut up so we don't get caught before we even get anywhere, and next...we exit this door and proceed up the elevator. Its night, so no workers will be here, only guards. I hope they aren't too much for you to handle."
Lilah sneaks out the door, then proceeds to the elevator. "Coast is clear..and watch your step..I'd hate you to trigger a floor alarm."

Xander snarls, "I'm not going to trigger an alarm." He makes his way over to the elevator, he's about to step into it when, he shuffled right into a movement sensor. RING RING.
Ah great now I just gave Lilah the satisfaction of thinking that I'm an idiot. 'Sh..." Xander mummbled under his breath.

Lilah looks on concerned. "Jeez, can't take you anywhere! Why are you here?" Lilah just shakes her head, then pulls Xander by the arm and throws him into the elevator. Lilah then watches as Angel follows. Lilah then types in the keycode, and the elevator goes up.
"Floor 36...should take a few minutes at the very most, but there will be guards up there for sure.."

"Doesn't bother me, I can take them."
There was a sudden thump from above. "Aww crap, they're on top of the elevator!" The panel from the top of the elevator slides open, and a man lands gracefully on his feet. Before the man could swing at Xander, he had already plunged the broads sword into his chest. The guard fell to floor, blood emerging and soaking his shirt.

"Wow...nice job tough guy...seems your more useful than I thought after all." Lilah stops Xander from moving out of the elevator. "This is floor 12...still another 24 to go...the elevator stops at every 12 levels. But thanks for killing that dude, he looks very nasty." Lilah smirks, and presses the button, and it proceeds higher.
Suddenly, the elevator jams, and Lilah shrieks. "You've got to be kidding me....now we are screwed! Bad time for a power failure..."
Lilah sits in the corner, observing Angel trying to break through the door. "Don't bother...its vamp proof."

(holy crap lol there's some serious god modding of me in this thread  *proceeds to the catch-up post*) Angel followed behind Xander and Lilah, particularly watching Lilah closely. He didn't say anything in between their frivolous banter, but he listened. They entered Wolfram & Hart, and Angel's eyes shifted the area, taking cautious steps behind the other two. They continued to have back-and-forth banter and Angel whispered harshly, "Would both of you just shut it already? Bad enough I have to hear Lilah's mouth even after she was killed so don't instigate the situation Xand--" Suddenly Xander's footing tapped off an alarm and they quickly darted into an elevator. Angel looked up, waiting impatiently as the numbers started to increase. Suddenly a guard crashed through the elevator and before Angel started to charge at him, Xander finished the job himself. Angel looked down at the body and then at Xander. Wow, Buffy really has been showing him the ropes lately. "Nice job, Xander." He bent down and started searching the body for anything they could use. "They're obviously on our trail so I'm sure we'll meet more of..." He took out the man's ID and blinked at it. "...Bob Thomas' friends soon--" Suddenly the elevator stopped. "Great." His brow dropped in frustration as he stood up. There was no way he was going to be stuck in an elevator with Lilah of all people so he resolved to kicking the door. Lilah gave a snide comment but Angel kept kicking, if only to let out some aggression. "You'd think... Lilah," He said through clenched teeth as he kicked the door in a pretty steady rhythm. "...if the Powers sent you here .......to help me invade Wolfram & Hart.... they'd be kind enough... to make sure the elevators...." He gave one last solid powerful kick towards the metal as he said, " work." His efforts were useless...it was vampire proof. He laughed a bit without any humor as he turned around. "I mean, they've been just so generous to us already," He said sarcastically, dropping his hands at his sides in frustration. He walked over to the back wall of the elevator and leaned against it. Some moments passed until his eyes gazed upwards at the hole the in the ceiling of the elevator, the same hole the guard fell through. He stepped directly under it, still looking up. He thought he could make out a small metal ladder on the side wall. "If there's a will..." He said to himself. He jumped up and through the hole, catching himself on the sides with his hands on the surface of the ceiling and gracefully pulling himself up. "...there's a way." There better be because there is no WAY I'm being trapped in an elevator with Lilah. He looked at his dark surroundings. Looking up at the metal chain, it seemed to stretch on forever. To his right was a very tight narrow space between the elevator and the wall. But the wall contained a very narrow ladder. Angel bent down and reached out his hand to Xander and Lilah. "Looks like we're taking a detour." |

Lilah simply slid her hands through her thick hair and looked up at Angel, looking rather frustrated. "You wont let up about thepowers that be will you?" Lilah gives a sigh, then contemplates what to say next. "If you weren't being a bitter little baby then we might not have had this problem in the first place."
Lilah is now retained, seeing Angel try busting down the door actually brought humour to the woman's face. She began to pay interest to Xander. Why is he so desperate to seek Angel's help? Lilah was uncertain of the answer, but quite frankly, she was more concerned about being trapped within leg distance of the vampire, Angel. If we are in here long enough....would he...get too thirsty? Could a vampire with a soul restrain himself? Lilah was too afraid to answer this for herself, instead she gets in a standing posistion and tries to focus her attention on Xander, rather than thinking the worst.
Lilah gazes at Angel, relieved that he had found a way out, but at the same time envious that he plays the role of the hero yet again. I shouldn't have expected anything else...Xander to hell wasn't going to save the day... Lilah listens intently as Angel motions to climb the chain. She wasn't one for climbing...and didn't intend to start now. "Angel..you cannot be serious, out of all the ideas you have had in the past..I think this one tops it."

"Well do you have any better ideas, Lilah? Busting the door was unsuccessful, so this is our only hope." Xander ignored Angel's hand and pulled himself up. Wow, didn't know I could do that he thought. Xander's eyes darted up, that's a very long way up, and climbing a chain will be difficult, he couldn't even climb the rope in gym class. Although that's not going to stop him from trying at least, he knew Lilah already thought the worst of him, so now's his chance to prove that he's not so useless at all. He motioned to Angel to start climbing first, avoiding having to do it first so then they couldn't see him do it.

"Sorry Xander...didn't pack your safety gear....maybe you should go next..just in case an accident happens." Lilah gave a smirk and shoved Angel out of the way. "Angel....you think I don't know the drill? I go last and you cut the rope, rendering me trapped in an elevator. I am not stupid."
Lilah shows a glimpse of satisfaction on her face, then begins mounting herself up the rope. This is harder than I thought...but I can't give up...I have to get to the top first.
Lilah looks to be struggling up the rope, but once she is half way she gives a sigh of relief. "And another reaosn I go first..because I am the only one smart enough to read the numbers imprinted on the walls....Floor 36..is around about here, but we have to climb right to the top, meaning we will have to go down some floors the hard way...staircases..." Lilah keeps climbing and manages to reach the top then disappears.
"Coast is clear...and Xander don't get lost on your way up..we need you to be our human shield." Lilah smiles stirringly at the distant Xander, then climbsa into the tunnel at the top of the shaft and she is seen no more.
