prodigalwatcherHad anything ever filled Wesley Wyndam-Pryce with quite such equal and opposite reactions? Part of him was more than elated to cross a threshold and at last find a friendly face waiting for him on the other side. Even better, that friend was Cordelia Chase, someone he had thought lost forever. He'd woken up in to a world that had changed little except in the small circle he could draw around his own life. Within that border, things had shifted greatly and not in many cases for the better.
Cordy being alive was definitely one of those rare exceptions.
On the other hand, waiting beyond that door was also a familiar face toward which Wesley felt much less friendly. Lindsey McDonald had always been their adversary. Although certain events had prevented them-- Angel in particular-- from classifying the man as being genuinely evil or particularly malevolent, the fact remained that Lindsey was ruthless, generally amoral and more than willing to cause serious collateral damage to further his own ends.
But he was a man with, at the moment, a narrow range of options. He required a place to live temporarily while he found a proper apartment and re-established himself. Yes, Wesley cold have used more of the same funds that had just gotten him across the country and back, but there were better uses and a limited supply.
The part of him that was looking forward to seeing Cordelia again won out, but the rest of him remained cautious and vigilant as he found the appropriate condominium and rang the bell.
