Fred walked around through the massive law firm trying to find Spike. With her was the new invention that should make finding him a lot easier, in theory anyway. Spike wasn't exactly a ghost so the machine might not detect him at all. Nonetheless she had to try. Spike trusted her to come up with an answer. She was chasing one trail of ghost residue that might just be him. Oddly enough it brought her to Lorne's office. He was talking on his cell phone which Fred could hear through the door. She knocked lightly hoping not to disturbed him too much. As she opened the door slightly and peaked through Lorne motioned for her to come in.
"Trust me L.D. it's going to be bigger then Titanic. Gigantic, Colossal even. So call me the next time your in town, will do lunch again." Lorne said as he ended the phone call. "Love the kid, honestly but don't ever take some of his mashed potatoes while he is in the bathroom. I learned that one the hard way."
"Gotcha so have you seen Spike around any today?" Fred asked impatiently.
"No sorry to let you down sweet pea haven't seen him."
"Oh ok thanks anyway." Fred says as she was leaving.
Fred then caught another trail of residue that was possibly Spike's. This trail led her straight back to her lab and sure enough Spike was standing in her office.
"Spike I've been looking for you."
"Same here, so do you have any ideas yet?" Spike asked.
"No but I did find something that might help you, well as soon as we find out what it is. Come on down here and I'll show you. So Knox what did you find out?" Fred inquired.
"Well I know one thing for sure we didn't make it."
"How can you tell?" Fred questioned.
"Well Wolfram & Hart put there signature on everything they make. It's not here and besides I don't think it's an invention anyway. It's probably purely mystical."
"We should probably take this to Wes to see if he can figure out what it is."
Fred and Spiked walked down the hall to the elevator. A reshauld demon attacked them on the way. It wrapped its hand around Fred's neck suffocating her. Spike tried to punch it several times but his fist always went right through the demon. Angel came out of nowhere and did a floor kick knocking the demon off balance. He caught the demon in mid air and broke its neck.
"Fred you ok? Angel asked sounding concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine." Fred answered and then coughed.
"Where were you headed?"
"To Wesley's office we were going to see if he could tell us what this was."
"Alright let's go." Angel commanded.
