Mr. Teeth had begun trying to figure out what had left his henchman unconscious by the Museum by visiting Willy, the human snitch who owned Willy's Bar, a favorite hangout for vampires and demons. Well now just demons since the vampires had somehow disappeared on Halloween last year, along with a few 'in the know' humans. Not that the demons were crying over the loss, anymore than humans were, vampires were scum as far as they were concerned. Lowest of the low and all that.

"You're not the first to mention this issue." Willy told him. "Other demons have noticed the same thing happening for a few months now, something invisible touching them, the feeling of something being pulled out of them and waking up after going unconscious. The current theory is a new demon in town."

"One that preys on other demons rather than humans? That's unusual, almost unheard of. But the Hellmouth being snuffed out like a candle might be drawing new kinds to Sunnydale."

"Some theories being put out there is that the Hellmouth shifted to a different Hell, one that gives off something that attracts other things the way it used to attract vampires." Willy offered. "It might even have opened briefly during this switch over and that's why a demon might be running around."

"As good a theory as any other, I suppose." Mr. Teeth shrugged, as long as the White Hats kept it closed, no one had to worry too much, most demons, like most humans, didn't want it opened at all. Everyone, including demons, would be at the bottom of the food chain if that happened. "If you hear anything, let me know." He slid some human money over to the weaselly little human.

"Not a problem." Willy assured him as the money disappeared. "Would you like something to eat or drink?"

"No, but I see a couple of demons that owe me some kittens. I'll just take them outside and have a conversation with them, remind them to pay their bills."

"Let me make sure they've paid their tab first. I can't collect from a dead demon."

"Neither can I, which is why they won't be dead after our conversation, just wish they were." Mr. Teeth assured him.

"Uh huh, still doesn't get my bills paid." Willy answered, unimpressed and made his way over to the demons Mr. Teeth indicated and handed them their bills and told them it was time for them to go. That was the only heads up they got that Mr. Teeth would be waiting with his goon squad outside to have that conversation with them and only because they were fairly regular customers.

He did leave them alive, he was a businessman, after all. Businessdemon.

Johnathan brought the matter of what he'd witnessed at the museum to the Scoobies attention after classes let out for the day.

"You saw the demons that killed the security guards?" Giles clarified.

"Yes, they were following the orders of one that actually kind of looked like a shark. Shark eyes are all black and flat, right?"

"A Bor'os demon. I wasn't aware that there were any in town." Giles recognized the description. "They're very unusual as they don't actually prey on humans as other demons do. Instead they prefer to emulate criminal organizations, such as the mob."

"Criminal demons?" Xander said blankly. "This is a thought that does not compute, I mean sure, demons kill humans and killing humans is illegal for humans, but humans don't recognize demons, so it's not technically illegal for them to kill anyone. But for them to actually choose to be criminals? Like the mob. As in protection rackets, drugs, prostitution? Any or all?"

"Prostitution, as in suck houses where humans allow vampires to feed on them in exchange for sex and brothels were humans pay to have sex with demons." Giles confirmed. "And drugs, such as Morpheus, which is partly mystical and loan sharking, both to demons and humans."

"I could have gone my whole life without knowing any of that." Xander stated. "It's bad enough knowing my Uncle Rory likes visiting prostitutes and now you've shoved the idea that he might be visiting demon prostitutes into my head. Thanks ever so much." He finished sarcastically. "After all he's also a taxidermist and that's freaky all on its own." After a moment the other Scoobies all shuddered as well.

"Back to the subject of what you observed, Johnathan." Giles said determinedly, trying to clear his mind of the images Xander had now shoved into it.

"The shark headed guy ordered the one I fed on to guard the exit while the others went inside." Johnathan told him. "I left after I fed on the demon, I don't know if they came out with anything."

"And this was the night before last?" Giles again clarified.

"Yes." Johnathan confirmed.

"The night the Acathla statue was stolen. This Bor'os demon just became the prime suspect." Giles decided. "We need to find him, hopefully before he does something incredibly stupid and actives it and we all get sucked into Hell."

"Well as motivations go towards solving a problem, that's a damn good one."

A/N The Buffy wiki doesn't list a species name for Mr. Teeth, but it does state his actual name is Bor'os and Mr. Teeth is a nickname. I just made it his species name for the purposes of this story.

Reference to suck houses is from Riley cheating on Buffy. Reference to demon brothels is from Angel the show and reference to the drug Morpheus is also from Angel.

Reference to Xander's Uncle frequenting prostitutes and being a taxidermist is from a comment Xander made on the show and from the Buffy wiki.
