alixtiiTitle: Socratic Dialogue III
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Lydia Chalmers/Reginald Kilroy(OMC)
Word Count: 380
Summary: Lydia and Reginald prepare for Drusilla to de-soul Angel, and find out what's been going on in L.A. Follows Socratic Dialogue I and Socratic Dialogue II, oddly enough. The gimmick in all of these is that I provide only dialogue, without even the benefit of "he said"/"she said" tags.

fanfic100. The prompt is #096 -- "Conversations."
Socratic Dialogue III
“I managed to contact the Slayer. She and her sister are making their way to Romania as we speak, with all possible haste.”
“Something’s happened. What is it?”
“I also made a phone call to the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram and Hart, where’s Wyndam-Pryce’s son is working. As you suggested.”
“Not the best way to warm up to father, working at an evil law firm. Did he say anything about returning the archives Sirk stole?”
“No, he was on a leave of absence because he—get this—thought he shot his father.”
“Wow. I knew the two didn’t get along, but. . . .”
“It gets better. Guess who’s turned up at Wolfram and Hart?”
“A vampiric Perry Mason.”
“None other than a newly resurrected William the Bloody.”
“Human?”
“Still vampire. Although as I hear it, possibly in the running for the Shanshu.”
“That’s ridiculous, there’s the whole part about the visions and. . . . Drusilla?”
“It’s possible. I’m not sure what to think.”
“Well, congratulations. Your thesis isn’t obsolete after all. Where did you get all this information?”
“From Angelus’ secretary. A Ms. Harmony Kendall. She was quite talkative. Then she remembered she wasn’t suppose to tell me and swore me to secrecy. Something about him going crazy if the Slayer ever found out.”
“Harmony Kendall. The name sounds familiar somehow.”
“I thought so, too, so I ran the name through the Council’s database. Turns out she’s a vampire, speculated to be a member of the Order of Aurelius through an alternate line created by the Master right before the Slayer killed him.”
“A vampire? As Angelus’ secretary? And talkative? Don’t tell me she has a soul too.”
“Not insofar as I can tell. But you never know with these Aurelians.”
“Well, Angelus won’t have one for long if we don’t get cracking—won’t have a soul, I mean, not a secretary—unless Drusilla stakes the secretary, which I guess would always be possible. Did you get through to Rupert Giles?”
“They’re on alert. They’ve sent one of their operatives, someone named Andrew, to feel out the situation without alerting Angelus or his staff. If Angelus loses his soul, Faith will be in town within hours, ready for anything.”
“Good. We’ll need her to be, no doubt.”
