Here you go chapter 4, I hope you all enjoy it. A little note, I just realized that there are two Freds (one from Angel, one from Scooby) so to tell the difference, I'll write Fred (Scooby's) as Freddy. It'll be that way till probably the end, we'll see. Also I notice that my time line was all goofed up, so I need to rewrite some parts of this chapter. I would like to apologize to all of you who have already read this chapter. I hope these changes don't confuse you.

Disclaimer: I don't own Scooby, Shaggy or anything related to them. They are the property of Hanna-Barbera & Warner Bros. I also don't own Angel; he's the property of Josh Whedon.

Chapter 4: Angel

After a long three-hour flight, the gang finally arrived in L.A. Once off the plane, the gang preceded to find a map of the city. Finding the street they need, they called a cab. When the cab arrived Freddie told the old cab driver where they were heading. He stared at them as they got in the vehicle and snickered.

"What could be so funny?" demanded Daphne as the old cab driver continued his snickering.

"I've heard strange rumors about the place you kids are going to," he said.

"Zoinks! Like, let me out." Shaggy said hugging Scooby. Both of them shaking like a leaf.

"Come on Shaggy, what could possibly go wrong?" Daphne told them.

"Um... have you, like, forgotten what happened five years ago, man?" Shaggy ask in shock.

"Of course not Shaggy, and besides we can't quit now." Fred said. "Velma needs us to solve this mystery and rescue her." Upon hearing his wife's name Shaggy gained some courage.

"Right I've got to, like, be strong for her" Shaggy thought as he starred out the window. The sun was slowly setting as he gave a little sight. "I hope she's alright." Shaggy thought.

On 313 Partin st. was an old hotel, the gang could see some lights on here and there. There were some places on the walls that seamed to be crumbling to pieces but over all it didn't look that bad. Picking up their things and taking a deep breathe, the gang walked in to find the inside was in better shape then they had expected. As they looked around, a man in his mid 20 walked up to them.

"Can we help you?" he asked with a thick British accent and questioning look. He wore glasses, had short brown hair and was very polite. Blushing Daphne couldn't help but smile back at this cute guy.

"We were just wondering if we could get some rooms." She said shyly. The Englishman told them to wait a moment and returned to his colleagues. The gang could hear the others having a discussion, so while they waited Fred decided to look around. After a few minutes, the Englishman returned, introduced himself as Wesley and told them to fallow him. They stopped on the first floor and he showed them to their rooms.

"How long will you be staying?" he asked politely.

"Until we find my wife." Shaggy said. "So far the only clue we, like, have was this card Fred found on Scooby." and he handed Wesley the card and noticed the surprised look on the man's face.

"Are you, like, ok?" Shaggy asked.

"Wha...oh yes, sorry. I hope you find the rooms to your satisfaction, if you need anything I'll be down stairs." he said and left.

As Wesley reached the main floor, a woman with shoulder length hair approached him.

"I hope Angel doesn't rip your head off for doing that," she said to him. He looked at her and frowned.

"For doing what?" he asked.

"Giving those people rooms in the one place Angel conceders his home," she snapped at him.

"I wasn't going to have them stay outside. We have thirteen floors of rooms, besides they're on the first one, nowhere near Angel's room. Honestly, Cordelia Chase, how heartless do you think I am?" he told her. They just stood there glaring at each other. A sigh was heard which made the two turn to face a young girl with long wavy hair.

"Come on guys, it can't be that bad. I'm sure if we explain to Angel, he'll understand," she said, not realizing that three figures had just walked through the doors. Looking at these men, you could tell that one of them wasn't human. This gentleman had green skin, little red horns coming out of his forehead, red eyes and bleach blond hair. His name is Lorne and he's a demon who comes from Pylea. Not a good place to have a vacation, trust me. The other two are Angel and Gunn. Although Angel looks human, he isn't. You see he's a vampire who's got a soul. How, you ask, did this vampire get his soul back? Well I'd tell you, but that's for another time. Gunn is a colored man who joined the group after he killed his sister who had turned into a vampire. Another story for later.

"Alright Fred, now's your chance to tell him." Cordelia told the girl, pointing towards the front doors. Fred fallowed the direction of the finger, grows wide-eyed and gave a little shriek. They stared at her surprised.

"Well, hi to you too, Fred." Lorne said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that," Fred said sheepishly. "It's just that I was talking to Cordelia and Wesley about explaining something to Angel and didn't realize you guys were back."

"So what was it you wanted to explain?" Angel asked not really caring why Fred did the little noise. As Fred was getting ready to explain, Mystery Inc. came down the stair. Angel glared at them.

"What are they doing here?" he demanded.

"Umm... well... that's what I was going to tell you about." Fred replied.

"I'm waiting." Angel hissed crossing his arms across his chest.

"Well... you see..." she started.

"It's my fault, Angel. I gave them a place to stay." Wesley interrupted.

"Do you know why they're here?" Gunn asked ignoring the glare he was getting from the vampire.

"All I know is that they're looking for someone and they had this with them." Wesley said showing them the calling card. That got even Angel's attention. Strange, he doesn't remember making any calling cards. Usually when a client calls for help, whether by phone or just running through the door. When he asks them how they know he was here, it's because they heard about he's helping some one. Turning to Mystery Inc. Angel asked them how the card came into their possession.

"Not sure really, you see our friend Velma was kidnapped and we found the card tucked in Scooby's collar. Thinking it may help us find Velma, we came here, but I see we're not welcome so we'll leave." Daphne said and they turned heading for their rooms.

Angel fallowed them with his eyes; happy to see the group was going to leave his home. Just then he got a tingling felling run up his spine, looking in the direction of his friends he saw Fred, Wesley and Gunn glaring at him.

"What?" he asked.

"You big bully!" yelled Fred "Why can't they stay?"

"Because I said so, that's why." he answered calmly.

"Angel do you realize, they're working on the same case as us." Wesley informed.

"So?"

"So, we could use extra hands." Gunn told him. Seeing where this was going, Angel sighed.

" Fine, they can stay." he grumbled. Wesley ran to let Mystery Inc. know that they could stay. When the group came down, Wesley introduced Mystery Inc. to the rest of his group. With all the excitement, nobody noticed a greened skin man come out of the back, until he was serving some drinks. He was even kind enough to think of bring a bowl of water out for Scooby. But when Scooby was about to thank him.

"RIPES!" Scooby yelled and disappeared behind the counter.

"Scooby what the hell is the matter, like, with you?" Shaggy shouted, ashamed that Scooby would act in such a manner in front of their hosts. He, of course missed Lorne. So when Shaggy went to get Scooby, the dog did his very best to warn to the man, with no such luck. Frustrated, Scooby grabbed Lorne and stood him in front of his friends. Let's just say, Scooby got the reaction he was looking for.

And now on to chapter 5, don't forget do let me know what you think. Any of you, who haven't seen Angel, send me an e-mail and I'll do my best to fill in the gaps. Till then, later.
