It was a rainy, cloudy, stormy day. Just the way Angel wanted it since the sun was hidden. It meant he could walk around the city and the Jeffersonian with out causing comment. He was glad. Booth and Brennan both knew who and what he was but the others didn't. He wasn't wanting to have to tell Dr. Hodgins, Dr. Goodman or Zack. He knew he probably would one of these days but that day wasn't this day. He had been investigating for a few days with this group of, what had Booth called them, squints. They weren't Buffy's Scoobies with their quirky senses of humor and creative use of the English language. The squints weren't even his own fang gang with their interesting backgrounds and difficult couple of years. The squints were a family like the other two groups and he respected that. Angela had been told. She had to be told when her reconstruction had turned up a Pylean.

So far the investigation had turned up the fact that some how Numfar had found the Groosalug and the two had been living in the tunnels of DC for a few months. Their camp though had been abandoned for at least a week. Angel wondered where Groo had gone to after LA and how he had ended up in DC with Numfar. It was weird that two of the few Pyleans he knew had some how met up and then one was dead. Brennan had identified the cause of death as decapitation. Angel knew, though, that
wouldn't be enough to kill a Pylean. Hadn't Lorne had his head cut off and still been talking? That means that somewhere Numfar's body was mutilated. It was the only way for the death to be permanent. Then the key to this case would be to find Numfars mutilated corpse or to find the Groosalug or both.

Angel had reached the Medico-Legal lab by this time and could hear the rain continue to hit the skylight. It was a perfect day for him to be here and not holed up in the corporate jet. (Since Willow got back last night he had gone back to the Wolfram and Hart jet instead of her apartment.) The group was just gathering. Willow, Buffy, and Dawn were standing in Angela's office talking to her. Brennan and Booth were bantering in her office, he could hear them with his super vampire hearing. Zack and Hodgins were up on the platform arguing about who's beetle was superior. It was all really normal. Angel wondered at how this normality could continue when one of his best friend's world was crashing down.
