"And here's your office, Mr Huntley." smiled the Wolfram and Hart guide. Fake smile. But it was still nice to be smiled at.
"Thank you." he said, smiling back. The guide backed out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Lawrence set down his briefcase, admiring the office. As nice as it was, he was still uncomfortable. America was big, threatening, intimidating.
He was already starting to miss his homeland. Now, it seemed, this would be his home from now on. He was playing with the big boys, but he knew that he had to be good. The Senior Partners had taken quite a big interest in him, after the England branch of Wolfram and Hart had been attacked by that vampire gang. The security was getting a total revamp after that incident, it was only Lawrence and his division head who’d managed to beat back all twenty vampires. They were highly organised, two knew magic even. Not as well as Lawrence.
Fire spells, were his speciality. And the vampires weakness. His division head has been killed trying to fight, and afterward, Lawrence had been weakened. In fact, he’d almost been killed.
He shoved the memory out of his mind, and thought back to the present.
He hadn’t met any of the staff, his boss, his co-workers. He sat down in his chair, polished his glasses, and then tried to relax.
Might as well start making friends. He took out the list of people in special projects the guide had given him, and started making a mental note of the names. Lilah Morgan, Kate Sutherland, Marcus Gates…
