(Lilah is pouring herself a drink. She jumps a little as the door to her dimly lit apartment is suddenly kicked open, revealing Angel standing in the brightly lit hallway.)

LILAH: That's a very dramatic entrance - except for the part where you can't enter.

ANGEL: You're a little jumpy there, Lilah.

LILAH: It's been a long day at the office.

ANGEL: Then you know that your boy is on the loose. You know what he's doing.

LILAH: It's been brought to my attention.

(Steps into the light, revealing the damage Gavin inflicted)

ANGEL: God. Are you...?

LILAH: I'm fine. You should see the other guy.

ANGEL: I plan to.

LILAH: Billy never touched me, friend.

ANGEL: I know. He has some power. He makes people...

LILAH: Billy never touched me, and you can't touch him. Nobody can. Billy as in Blim? As in congressman Nathan Blim's nephew? That family is the closest thing this country has to royalty. They'd own half the eastern seaboard even if they weren't clients of ours. The law won't go near him.

ANGEL: I'm not the law.

LILAH: This isn't some three horned Gurnarbeast you can just chop into meatloaf!

ANGEL: Why you're protecting him after what he did?

LILAH: I'm sorry, but this deep chivalric concern coming from the only man I know who *definitely* wants to kill me, is a bit much on a day like this.

ANGEL: Your hands are shaking.

LILAH: Stay away from my client.

(She slams the door in Angel's face.)
