"Over?" Frank said. " Gee, what's this all about?'
"I've just gotten off the phone with an awful man named Quentin Travers. Who it must be noted, has more of a feel for international incidents than time differences. But he thinks he and his 'Watcher's Council' have jurisdiction over all supernatural crime. And he wants Angelus in England by Tuesday."I'm appealing, but it means I must forbid you to have any further contact with the suspect today. Sorry."
"Forbid me? Nobody's forbid me to do anything since I was seventeen."
"Call it something else, if it makes you feel better, but the end result is the same. Are we clear?"
Even Bayliss was too stunned to say anything.
When they were outside, Frank said " Can you believe that? You and I spend six hours with Mr. Memorex in there, and now some English vigilante is going to get the credit!"
"Forget it, Frank. It's Sunnydale."
"Thank you, Mr. Turner Classic Movies."
"Not just any movie. Chinatown. Just trying to channel my frustration in a form you might recognize."
"Don't bother. It's very annoying."
"Excuse me for living. I've just waited my whole life to say that."
" Which is what? Since Thursday? And you're excused."
"We'll get him, Frank."
"I know that, Tim. See you Monday."
Thanks, Perkins. Think how sad I am, not having ever watched H:LOTS in real time, probably for "RosNRachel4evah!" or something. I was so young and stupid. But now I have all the sexy emotional scars.
Erika,
I've never watched H:LOTS. Since I started reading your fic I have added
the Seasons 1&2 DVDs to my NetFlix list.
Great fic.
(blush) I could ask no finer compliment. So, no toaster. Maybe the keys to a squad car.
The COW grabbed jurisdiction?
erika! You're EVIL! And unbelievable. And totally on target.
Fucking brilliant stuff. I'm totally verklempt.
But, um
t showing my biases towards pretty evil here
Angelus gets away, doesn't he?
Thanks, I try. I figured seeing him deal with the Forces of Justice is more of a L&O thing.
And if Angelus ate them, I couldn't deal.(To quote Tony Soprano, "I fucking love them.")
And how many times has real justice been thwarted by a self-serving bureaucrat? Oh, about a million.
Probably.
He has to live and get his own show, Connie.
I think the guys were just being consoling when they said that...they do that, sometimes.
Probably. He has to live and get his own show, Connie.
Yay! I always root for the wrong side.
