Andy and Cordelia put the fire out on the body. Andy examined the body. He took pictures of the victim on his phone. He noticed a ring on the victim's right finger. He took a picture of it. He turned to Cordelia. "I'm going to investigate this myself. See if you Angel and Doyle can figure anything out about the victim. Maybe Doyle can get a vision or something" Andy said. "What about the other cops or the sisters? Don't you think we should get them involved in this to" Cordelia said. Andy shook his head. "Not until we know what we're dealing with. If it's supernatural the other officers won't be able to do anything anyway and they'd probably get in our way. As for Prue and her sisters I don't want to worry them until we know for sure that it's supernatural" Andy said. Cordelia nodded her head. "That's probably a smart idea" she said. "Come on. Let's get you back home. I have to go to the station. I'll call you if I find anything out" Andy said. Cordelia nodded and followed Andy to his car.
Cordelia arrived back at the office and when she walked in she saw Doyle sitting at the desk in the main office. "Hey Doyle what are you doing" she asked. "Just cleaning out some files on the computer so it goes faster. Angel feels it's going to slow" Doyle said. "Where's Angel" Cordelia asked. "Downstairs probably brooding or something" Doyle said without looking from the computer. "Well we have a problem" Cordelia said walking out of the room and heading downstairs. Doyle followed her. "What kind of problem" he asked as they both got in the elevator. They closed the door and it started moving down. When they got down stairs they found Angel in the corner of the room reading a book. He saw them coming over to him. "Hey Cordy did you fix the list" Angel asked still reading the book. "We'll have time for that later. Right now we have a problem" Cordelia said throwing her purse on the couch. Angel stood up immediately and wrapped his arms around Cordelia. "Are you OK" he asked her.
"Yes I'm OK but somebody isn't" Cordelia said. Angel let go of her and looked at her confused. "What do you mean" he asked. "After me and Andy finished shopping for Prue we were walking back to his car and we saw a dead body on fire" Cordelia said. "On fire" Doyle said. Cordelia shook her head. "Yea the body was on fire so we couldn't identify the body. Andy took pictures on his phone and he's going to see what he can find out. I had him send them to me" she said taking out her phone and handing it to Angel. "I thought we might be able to identify the body if we had the pictures to. Maybe we'll find something in the pictures or Doyle can get a vision or something" Cordelia said. Angel looked through the pictures. "I'll call the sisters see if they know anything" Doyle said. Cordelia stopped him from going to the phone. "No Andy doesn't want them to know until we figure out what we're up against. He doesn't want to worry them" Cordelia said. Both Angel and Doyle nodded understanding.
Andy had printed the pictures from his phone and was looking through them trying to see if there was anything that could identify whoever the victim was. He looked at the picture of the ring. Andy looked up the ring online and found that it belonged to a Tony Wong. He wrote the name down on a piece of paper. Now he knew who the victim was he just had to find out who the killer was. He looked at his watch. It was time for his lunch break. He was supposed to be meeting Prue at Quake. He drove to quake and got seated pretty fast. It helped that he was engaged to the manger's sister. While he was sitting there waiting for Prue a woman walked up to him. "Andy Trudeau" the woman said. Andy looked up at the woman and recognized her. "Susan its great to see you. What are you doing here" Andy asked standing up and hugging her. "I'm in town on business. What are you doing here in this restaurant" Susan asked. "Just waiting for my fiancé. We're going to have lunch together" Andy said.
"Fiance? Your engaged again" Susan said pulling over a chair and sitting down at the table. Andy nodded his head. "Yea we're getting married in about three months" Andy said. Susan smiled. "Well hopefully it works out this time" she said laughing. "It will" Andy said. "So what is her name? Do I know her" Susan asked. Andy shook his head. "No you don't know her and her name is" Andy started to say but was interrupted when Prue walked up to the table. "Hi" Prue said looking between Andy and this woman she never saw. "Prue" Andy said smiling at her. He got up and kissed her on the cheek. "This is my fiancé Prue" Andy said. "Hi" Prue said to Susan. "Hi" Susan said back smiling at Prue. Prue looked at Andy with a questioning look. "Oh Prue this is" Andy started to say but was interrupted by Susan. "Susan. Susan Trudeau. Nice to meet you. Pleasure" she said holding out her hand for Prue to shake. Prue shook it. "Trudeau. So how are you and Andy related" Prue asked.
"We're not related actually she's my" Andy started to say but was once again interrupted by Susan. "Wife" she said. Prue looked at Andy and Andy knew that look she was pissed. Prue forced a smile and walked away. "Ex-wife" Andy said and he looked at Susan. "Sorry" she said. Andy walked after Prue. "Prue wait I can explain" Andy said. "Don't bother" Prue said not turning around to look at him. She saw a cart of dessert's in the corner. She squinted her eyes and the cart moved in front of Andy. "It's not what you think" Andy started to explain but he fell over the cart getting the dessert on him. Susan ran up to him helping him up. "Are you OK" she asked. Andy nodded his head. "Yea I'm fine. I have to check on Prue. It was nice seeing you again" Andy said as he ran to the entrance. He looked around the parking lot but Prue was already gone. He tried calling her but she sent him straight to voicemail. He got in his car and drove back to the station. He would talk to Prue when he got home.
Hours later Angel Cordelia and Doyle were trying to find all the information they could on Tony Wong and who would want him dead. Andy had filled them in on the fact that Tony Wong was the victim. Cordelia got up from her seat at the computer in the outside office. "I can't find anything on who could possibly want this guy dead" Cordelia said. "Yea well keep looking. We got to find something" Angel said who was looking through Tony Wong's files Andy had sent over. "It literally could be anyone or anything. We don't even know if it's demonic or not" Cordelia said. "Yea but that's why we get paid the big bucks to figure it out" Doyle said. Cordelia shook her head. "We don't get paid" she said. "It's a figure of speech" he said. "Yea well it's not a good one" she said. "Guys we have work to do. Let's stay focused please" Angel said. Just then Piper walked into the office with a guy. "Piper what a lovely surprise. What are you doing here" Angel asked.
"I need help with something" Piper said. "Who's the guy" Doyle asked. "His name's Mark" Piper said. "You guys can see me" Mark said surprised. "Of course we can see you. Why wouldn't we be able to see you" Angel asked. Cordelia looked at Angel Doyle and Piper confused. "Who are you guys talking about? I don't see anyone" Cordelia said. "He's a ghost. Only supernatural beings can see him" Piper said. Cordelia nodded in understanding. "OK well obviously this is a job for you three I'm just going to see if I can find out who murdered Tony Wong" she said as she walked to the desk. "So what can we do for you guys" Doyle asked. "Well someone murdered Mark and burned his body and we need to find his body. He said it is in some alleyway" Piper said. Cordelia looked at Piper at that. "Wait your saying this Mark person was murdered and his body was burned" she said. "Yea why" Piper asked. "I know where the body is" Cordelia said.
Andy was sitting at his desk not focusing on his work. He was more focused on Prue and how she was mad at him. He understood. He should have told her about Susan and everything but he didn't. He wasn't trying to hide it it just never came up. He screwed up. He looked at the picture on his desk of him and Prue. He had to fix this. It would be nice if she would answer his calls. He called her 16 times and she didn't pick up any of his calls. At least he knew he would see her tonight at home. They lived together so she couldn't avoid him forever. Andy's cell phone rang and snapped him out of his thoughts. "Prue" he said into the phone hopeful. "No it's Piper" Piper said on the other end of the line. Andy was disappointed. "How can I help you Piper" Andy asked. "Well actually we can help each other you know with the dead body you decided not to tell us about" Piper said into the phone. Andy was shocked. "How do you know about that" Andy asked. "Cordelia told me. We have to find the body" she said.
Piper Mark Andy Angel Cordelia and Doyle were all walking in the alleyway that night looking for Mark's body. "So your telling me your talking to a ghost named Mark right now and he was the man who was murdered here earlier today" Andy said. "Yea and humans cant see ghosts so that's why you and Cordy can't see him" Angel said. "I identified the body as Tony Wong using the ring he had on his finger" Andy said. "They put that ring on my finger after they killed me" Mark said. "He says they put it on his finger after they killed him" Doyle said. "Why would they do that" Cordelia asked. "Maybe they wanted us to believe this Tony Wong guy was the one who died. Maybe he's behind it" Andy said. Andy and Cordelia walked ahead of the other four. "Thanks for helping me you guys. I really appreciate it" Mark said. "Well you didn't really leave me much choice when you wouldn't leave my doorstep" Piper said. "Yea and this is what we do at Angel Investigations. We help the helpless right Doyle" Angel said.
"Absolutely" Doyle said. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea" Piper said. "Please I don't have much time. We have to find my body before it's to late" Mark said. "Why what happens if we don't find your body" Angel asked. "It's a Chinese myth or at least I always thought it was a myth. It's called Thowhoi when the gates of hell open" Mark said. "What do the gates of hell have to do with this" Doyle asked. "If the gatekeeper Yahma captures my soul before my bodies properly buried he'll take me to hell forever" Mark explained. "You said you were murdered" Piper said. "Yahma doesn't care about good or evil. He just wants souls. I should have listened to my mother" Mark said. Piper looked at him still confused by who this whole Yahma thing worked. "Guys we found it" Andy called from up ahead. The four of them ran to where Andy and Cordelia were. "Oh my god" Piper said covering her eyes. She uncovered her eyes.
"Is that this Mark guy's body" Andy asked the three of them who could see him. Mark nodded his head. "Yea that's him" Angel said. Behind them Yahma appeared. Mark looked behind him. "Yahma" he said. Piper Angel and Doyle all looked behind them. Angel grabbed Cordelia and pulled her behind him. "Stay behind me and Doyle" Angel said. Cordelia was confused. "What's going on" she asked. "Just stay behind us" Doyle said. Andy looked at Piper Angel and Doyle and then looked in the direction they were looking. He didn't see anything. "What's going on" he asked. "Andy just get behind me" Piper said. Andy figured he might as well listen considering he couldn't see whatever it was that Angel Piper and Doyle were worried about. Andy walked behind Piper. "I'm guessing that's Yahma" Doyle said. "Yea" Mark replied. Yahma came rushing toward them on his horse. "Run" Piper said. "It's to late. You guys better go. Run" Mark said.
"Guys what exactly are we running from" Cordelia asked. "A evil spirit" Angel said. Mark closed his eyes accepting his fate. Piper threw out her hands and everyone in the alley except for her and Mark froze. Piper nudged everyone unfrozen. "What happened" Mark asked opening his eyes. "I'm a good witch remember" Piper said. "How" Mark asked. "I don't know. I panic. I put up both hands and bad things tend to freeze" Piper said. "For how long" Mark asked. "Not very. Let's go" Piper said turning around and running. Mark Angel and Doyle followed while Andy and Cordelia just stood there. "Are we running now" Andy asked. "Yea we're running" Angel said. "Before he unfreezes" Doyle said. Andy and Cordelia turned around and didn't see anything. They both looked at each other shrugged and started running in the direction everyone else ran in. Just then Yahma unfroze. He watched as his prey and the people helping him ran out of the alley. That's fine he would get him no matter who he had to go through. He always got his prey.
