The day drags on (tag Lilah)

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon slowly got up and returned the two glasses to the bar. Sighing she shut the door, smiling to herself. Henry was pretty cute she had to admit. Daddy would just hate him..

Returning to her desk she rolled her eyes, demon law was so boring to her she could barely give a crap. Win or lose she really did not care, afterall evil is evil, they get what they deserve. Of course she kept her thoughts to herself, they would not go down too well in this work place.

Shannon knew it was more than likely her office was bugged, but she still hoped her run in and possible date with Henry had escaped unnotice by security.

[Lilah]

After a hectic day that only seemed to get worse, Lilah was more than ready to head to the parking garage and go straight home to soak in a hot bath. But the photos that Carver had shown her of Henry talking to Shannon stuck in her brain, and she wanted an answer. Not that Shannon would be forthcoming; she was skilled at being evasive, just like her father.

She lightly knocked on Shannon's office door and strode inside. "Shannon, what a surprise to find you here. Shouldn't you be out spending mommy and daddy's inheritance?"

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon's eyes rolled when she saw Lilah she was pure evil, married to the law firm just like Daddy. Closing the big leather-bound law book she looked at her collegue, her attitude easy to read.

"Lilah, wish I could say I am pleased to see you...what do you want? Shouldn't you be heading back to that empty house of yours?"

Shannon hated everyone in Wolfram and Hart, especially Lilah, she knew there was only one reason she was there, Henry

[Lilah]

Lilah crossed her arms defiantly and stood in the doorway. "Actually, I was on my way out. But then I heard that you had an unexpected visitor tonight," she said.

"What's the matter, Shannon? The Hollywood Boulevard motel not good enough for your frat-boy trysts anymore?"

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon laughed and walked round her desk, leaning against it her arms folded. She was used to these run ins with the other lawyers especially Lilah because of her Father.

"Oh what's wrong after him for yourself honey? Perhaps you should looks after your clients better?"

[Lilah]

Lilah slapped her forehead in mock surprise. "Oh, wow, that is what I've been doing wrong all these years! Thank you, Shannon, for showing me the light," she said. "I mean, why waste my time and energy on actually settling cases and negotiating contracts when all I really had to do was show some leg, ply them with alcohol and give 'em a roll in the hay?"

She crossed to Shannon with a determined look. "That Henry Elder fellow, who was probably stupid enough to fall for your 'poor little rich girl' act, is a freelancer. And a fairly unreliable one at that. So do yourself a favor and walk away from this one," she advised. "After all, you don't want my sloppy seconds, do you? Because that would be beneath you, wouldn't it?"

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon laughed, Lilah was so jealous of the easy ride Shannon was getting thanks to her father she was forgetting one thing, Shannon hated being there. It was true that men were easy to manipulate, she had always managed to get whatever she wanted out of them.

"A roll in the hay? You have to go that far to get what you want? Must be your fading looks! Now was this little visit just to warn poor little me about Henry? Or did you actually have a point?"

[Lilah]

Lilah bristled at the comment about her age but did her best not to show it. "My point, Shannon, is that you would do well not to tempt fate. Even the daughter of Holland Manners isn't immune to consequences around here."

She looked down at her nose at the young blonde. "And put your claws back in, kitten. You don't want to play in my cage," she warned. With that, she turned on her very expensive heels and walked out.

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon rolled her eyes as Lilah left, she hated how she was all talk and no action.

[Carver]

"Shannon?"

[Shannon Manners]

"Great another interruption!" Shannon muttered to herself, "Carver always a pleasure...what do you want? And please let it be something quick?"

[Carver]

"I need you to come into my office. I want to talk."

[Shannon Manners]

Shannon rolled her eyes and pushed her chair back, "What now? Some sick little videotape got you hot under the collar again?"

[Carver]

"Just get over here. Lilah's already talked to you, I bet you didn't listen." he barked. "Get over here, now."

[Shannon Manners]

"Whatever! Be right there!"

Shannon stood up and sighed, "Oh great like I dont have enough crap to deal with!"
