"Anyanka?" The Mayor, Richard Wilkins III, swiveled around in his chair. "The vengeance demon?"
"Ex-demon," corrected Mr. Trick.
"Huh. Well, that's a pity. I remember Anyanka--she came about a century ago. Quite a nice girl."
"Yes." Mr. Trick refrained from saying anything else. He'd already discovered that it was better to avoid saying certain things to the Mayor. He was an eccentric--and a dangerous one.
"We should try to recruit her, Trick."
"Sir. With all due respect, she is a powerless human."
"Powerless?" The Mayor chuckled. "How do you think she got to be a demon in the first place? Not through her good looks. No, it took some work. She's crafty, even as a human. And--who did you say that she was with?"
"Two friends of the Slayer. The red-headed witch and the other boy. Not the werewolf, definitely not Angel."
"Odd company. Well, don't worry about them. And don't kill Anyanka. Just tell her that I'd like a word. You might let something slip about the Ascencion if she won't come at first."
"And the schoolchildren?"
"I don't care.... No." The Mayor leaned forward in his desk. "Bring them here. They could be useful."
"Sir." Mr. Trick left the office.
"What do you think, Allan?" The Mayor turned back to look at his Vice-Mayor.
"I... Don't know, sir."
"Hmm. It's all right. Anyanka's a good girl. She won't do anything that she shouldn't do. And if the children get fierce, well, Trick can do with them. Losing them should rattle the Slayer." The Mayor smiled. "Cookie?" He held out a plate.
Allan shook his head. The Mayor shrugged, turning back to his desk. "Suit yourself."
