"What do you mean you were late" Cordelia asked on the phone to Angel who had called her and Doyle to give them a update. "Yea about 20 minutes judging from the smell of the blood" Angel said. "Sorry man I told you as soon as I got the vision" Doyle said. "Wow the powers that be must really be asleep at the wheel if they keep giving Doyle these visions when it's to late to do anything about them" Cordelia said. Doyle glared at Cordelia. "I'm just saying the powers that be should have given you this vision hours ago and then Angel would have been able to save that girl" she said. "I don't think" Doyle started to say but was cut off by Angel. "Cordelia's right. I mean how am I supposed to be a champion I I keep on getting the messages from the powers that be late" Angel asked. "Well come home and we'll figure this out together" Cordelia said. "No I'm going to look for this guy around the city. Love you" Angel said and hung up before he could hear any protests.
Angel saw the police arriving. The last thing he needed was the police questioning him. He jumped out the window and landed on his feet. He walked to his car got in and drove away. He was determined to find the killer tonight even if it took the whole night. Andy pulled up at the crime scene. Andy got out of his car and walked over to the apartment building. He showed his badge to one of the cops standing in front of the building so that they would let him pass. He put his badge away and walked inside the building. When Andy got inside he brushed a hand through his hair now which was wet now. "Well it's about time" his partner Darryl said to him. "I got here as soon as I could. It was my night off after all. Another dead female right. Mid to late 20's" Andy said. "I've been paging you for over an hour Trudeau where have you been" Darryl asked. Trying to enjoy my night off with my fiancé. You remember Prue right" Andy said.
"Yea look I'm sorry about that. I know this was supposed to be your night off. Anyway when's the wedding" Darryl said. "Don't know. I'll let you know when I know" Andy said. Darryl laughed. "She hasn't decided a date yet huh" he said. Andy glared at him. "WE haven't decided a date yet and can we get back to the case please" Andy asked. Darryl was still laughing. "Sure so another woman was killed. Stabbed to death" Darryl said. "You mean another witch" Andy said casually. "These women are not witches" Darryl said. "That woman up there I bet she was killed with an athame" Andy said. Darryl sighed. "Wrong double edged steel knife" Darryl said. "Right that's an athame. It's a ceremonial tool. Witches use to direct energy" Andy said. "That woman didn't direct jack. She was stabbed. Plain and simple" Darryl said. Andy shook his head and looked to make sure no one was listening. "Was she found near an alter" Andy asked low so only Darryl could hear him.
"Yea" Darryl said. "Were there carvings on that alter" Andy asked. They just looked at each other Darryl not believing Andy and Andy sure he was right. "Let's just get back to work OK" Darryl said as they walked to the crime scene together. "Andy" Andy heard his name called and turned around. He rolled his eyes. "Oh great" he said under his breath. "It's inspector Trudeau when I'm at a crime scene Jeremy" Andy said. "Oh right sorry. Well anyway would you care to comment" Jeremy asked Andy. "A woman was stabbed. Plain and simple" Andy said as he turned to leave. The less he had to talk to Jeremy the better. "Well that's the third one in three weeks" Jeremy said. Andy turned around again and gave Jeremy a look that told him to stop asking questions about the case and turned back around to go to the victim's apartment. Jeremy stopped him again. "Hey inspector Trudeau did Piper get my flowers and my package" Jeremy asked Andy. "Yes and she loved them" Andy said and walked away.
Andy walked into the victim's apartment and put gloves on. He examined the body and saw that she had a weird tattoo on her shoulder. He covered the body up. He knew he was right. She was a witch. "Same tattoo that's on the other three victims" Andy said. "So the murderer is killing occults" Darryl said wiping his face with a towel. He was sweating as it was really hot in the apartment. "No the murderer is on a witch hunt" Andy said. "Oh yes he's five to eight years old and lives in Salem. Look around Trudeau pentagrams alters offerings all tools for a freak fest" Darryl said. Andy took off his gloves. "They call them sabbaths. Which is hardly a freak fest. She was a solitary practitioner. She practiced her craft alone" Andy said. Darryl smiled and raised his eyebrows. Andy was either nuts or trying to get on his nerves. Andy saw how skeptical Darryl looked. Let me ask you something Morris. Do you believe in UFO's" Andy asked Darryl.
"Hell no" Darryl said. "Neither do I but do you believe there are people out there who do believe in UFO's" Andy said. "Yes but I think they're crazy" Darryl said. "Well then why can't you believe there are people who believe they are witches" Andy asked. "Look all I know is if you don't stop talking about witches I'm going to start questioning you" Darryl said. Andy looked down at the ground. He knew he was right but Darryl obviously didn't want to hear it anymore. A cat jumped onto a dresser and meowed. Andy and Darryl both looked over at the cat. Andy walked over to it. "I'd stay away from that cat Trudeau. It's been clawing the crap out of everybody" Darryl said as Andy started petting it. Andy looked over at Darryl and continued petting the cat. "See you at the car" Darryl said as he went to leave. Andy picked up the cat. He didn't know why but something felt right about this cat. Darryl turned around and looked at Andy as he held the cat and continued petting it.
Andy looked at the cat's collar and saw a weird symbol on it. Andy and Darryl were at the station doing paperwork when Andy heard his phone go off. He looked at it and saw that he had a message from two hours ago on his phone and clicked on it. It was from Prue. "Guess what? Phoebe's moving in with us. Save me" Andy looked over at Darryl. He wasn't going to be happy but Andy had to go home to make sure the house was still standing. He didn't have a problem with Phoebe personally but knew Prue did. Andy looked over at Darryl and smiled at him. "Morris I have to go something came up at home and I have to take care of it" Andy said grabbing his coat and putting it on. Darryl shook his head. "Trudeau there's paperwork that has to be done and I'm not doing it for you" Darryl said. "That's fine Morris I'll take care of it" Andy said. "Make sure you do because I don't want to hear from the captain when your paperwork isn't done" Darryl said. Andy nodded and left.
When Andy got to the street the manor was on he saw this guy in all black walking on the sidewalk. That was really suspicious and normally Andy would stop the guy to see who he was and make sure he wasn't dangerous but he had to get home to help Piper make sure Prue and Phoebe didn't kill each other. He pulled into the driveway and ran up to the house and walked in. "Prue I'm home" Andy said as he walked in. All the lights were out. Andy tried to turn the lights on by flipping the switch but nothing happened. He figured the power must be out. He hung his coat on the coat hook and walked further in the house. A flashlight blinded him. "Andy I'm so happy your home. The power went out and I've had to deal with Phoebe all night" Prue said coming up and kissing him. Just then Piper and Phoebe walked into the room. Andy smiled when he saw Phoebe. "Hey Phoebe welcome home" Andy said. Phoebe smiled at him.
"Hey Andy it's good to see you" Phoebe said hugging him. He hugged her back. Prue was annoyed. "OK that's enough" Prue said pulling them apart. She took Andy's hand. "We're going to bed" Prue said dragging Andy upstairs with her. "They're not actually going to bed are they" Phoebe asked. "No they will be up for the next hour at least. Well anyway I'm going to bed" Piper said going up the stairs. Phoebe followed suit and as they passed Prue's room they heard loud noises coming from the room. Phoebe shook her head and smiled. She was happy to see Prue so happy. Hopefully she could get Prue happy with her being here. "Goodnight" Piper said as she walked into her room and closed the door. Phoebe went in her room and closed the door and within the hour all four of them were asleep. Angel was driving in his car on the phone with Cordelia. "I can't come home yet Cordy. I still haven't found him" he said into the phone.
"You've been looking all night he's probably long gone by now. Go out tomorrow night and look for him" Cordelia said. Angel knew Cordelia was probably right and the killer was long gone. He might as well head back home. "Besides I'm here all alone in this big bed in a certain piece of lingerie someone loves so much" Cordelia said. Angel stopped the car. "That's no fair. You know I can't resist when you wear that" Angel said. Cordelia laughed. "Well I'm wearing it because we are officially moved in and I thought we could celebrate you know just the two of us" Cordelia said in a seductive voice. Angel felt his pants tighten at her words. "I'll be right there" Angel said. "Don't keep me waiting too long sexy" Cordelia said then hung up. Angel started to speed the car toward his and Cordelia's place when all of a sudden he stopped. A guy in all black was walking on the sidewalk. Angel thought that was weird considering it was raining and the guy was in all black. Angel got out of his car and followed the guy being as quiet and sneaky as he could. The guy turned a corner and when Angel reached the corner and turned the guy was gone. Angel looked all around for him and couldn't find him. He was gone. Angel figured he should head home and go out tomorrow night. He got in his car and drove off. He was close and he was going to catch this guy if it was the last thing he did. Jeremy watched Angel drive away and kept walking. He had a lot of people to deal with. The witches who just got their powers Andy who he never liked and now this vampire. He had a plan for Andy but that could wait till morning. The witches finally had their powers and he was going to steal them for himself.
