CHAPTER IV

4 months ago in L.A.

"Tell me you have something. Anything for that matter." Angel was anxious. Wesley had been searching about the demon/vampire that Kate had tipped him about for two months now and he still hadn't given him any information about it.

"If you bug me all the time, making me research for other cases, I won't be able to find anything. I am human so bound to some needs, like sleep, food and free time to do as I please." He was angry at Angel for welling at him so early in the morning. But when he went into his office and so pure concern he was unable to stay mad.

"Look, Angel. With all that cases that have been dropping in I didn't find time to research properly. From what little I looked, I did not find any reference to vampires eating brains, or rituals that require what you told me. I still have to read the forensics report, so please give me some time. "

"I 'm sorry if I bust your nails for this case. I am concerned that's why. This man, thing is a serial killer and if we do not catch him this time. I don't know if we will have a chance again." Angel stood up from his desk and decided that it was time for him to rest. Too early for his liking to be awake, he just wanted to speak to Wesley.

Wesley patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry boss. We will get him, in time. I will find something, anything as soon as humanly possible."

Angel smiled at him and headed to his underground apartment. He was glad Wesley had joined his team.

2 months ago

"Hi Giles! It is me Wesley." He took the responsibility to call the senior watcher, after two fruitless months on research.

"Did you receive the information that I sent you?"

"Yes Wesley I have then in front of me right now. They seem really interesting. I have not encountered any of this in all my years. I have to look into it and call you back. It might take a while though because we have our hands full here."

"Sure, I understand. The thing is that, you will see for yourself if you look in the information ahead of you that the next murder is to happen in two months time and that is the only clue we have on the killer so we must catch him then."

"I will do my best. Get back to you as soon as I have a lead."

"Bye Giles."

"Bye"

"Oh, and could you not tell Buffy because Angel kind of doesn't know I asked for your help."

"Ok, I won't."



Giles hang up the phone. Wesley's package had arrived half an hour before he called so he hadn't managed to study it properly. He opened the box on his desk and went through the files it consisted to see what the junior watcher wanted his help for.

They were police reports of murders occurring over the past thirty years and they described murders happening in hotels in similar ways. The one that caught Giles's attention was the one that had happened four months ago. He read what the detective said about it but found that many of the details the officer recorded were completely irrelevant with the information he was looking to find. The forensics' report was the next he took to read. There he found much information that he could put to good use.

So he dig into it writing in a notebook next to him all the clues he thought would help him learn more about what was committing those murders.

Wesley let out a breath he had been holding in all the time he spoke to Giles. He was frustrated after all those months of searching what thing, vampire or demon could have committed those murders he found nada, snitch, nothing. How could it be? That is why he pressed himself to call him, hoping that he might have the information he was lacking, now he was not sure that was a good idea. If Angel found out he wouldn't be happy about it for sure. What is done is done he thought to himself. He just had to wait and see if and when would the senior watcher come up with something.

In the back he could hear Cordelia's and Angel's voices arguing about something. He presumed it had to do with payment and laughed a bit for how their lives had evolved in the past year.

Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to reading your reviews.
