Hayes pulled up outside the Hyperion Hotel in his unmarked police sedan. As he stepped out of the driver's side door, he took his sunglasses off and surveyed the building.
"Holy shit!" His eye's wide with awe at the massive building. "I am so quitting this job and going private." He muttered to himself. This Mr. Angel was clearly making more money than he ever could on the force. Unless he started taking bribes, and that was unlikey. Partly because he'd sworn to uphold the law, not break it, but mostly because no-one ever offered him any, which he was slighly annoyed by. It wasn't like he didn't look like he needed the money. Some days he went out of his way to find the cheapest looking suit in his wardrobe, no co-incidence it was usually the day before his rent was due either.
Maybe his reputation had gotten around, or the crooks he caught up with were tight fisted with their stolen money. In fact, it was probably the second reason rather than the first. Hayes wasn't the kind of cop that had a reputation. He was an average Joe. Nothing really remarkable about him. That's not to say he wasn't good at his job, nor that he didn't bitch and moan about stuff, just no-one particularly listened to him. He wasn't powerful enough to cause trouble and he often felt like he was out of the loop on things. And that really annoyed him.
Before going inside the hotel, he pulled a small notepad from his coat pocket and scanned a couple of the pages. He was here to see if anyone she worked with knew anything about her disappearance, or the murder at her apartment. He expected either they'd tell him everything in the hope that he'd be able to find Miss Chase unharmed, or they'd be tight lipped because they knew she was a serial killer and were frightened to death she'd come after them next.
He flipped the notepad closed again and returned it to his pocket on his way inside.

Walking out of the office, the Banshee head still in his hand, he saw Hayes standing there. Tossing it over his shoulder he walked riound to the lobby "Wasn't expecting you to be here already,detective"

As Wesley was dealing with things in the office, Anna started to follow Angel out into the lobby. "Angel, who are you talking to--oh!" she cried, as the banshee's head came flying back at her. She managed to catch it, and then threw a surprised look at the strange man in the lobby. She laughed nervously and backed toward the office door. "Be right back," she smiled, and ducked into the office, closing the door behind her.

Lorne walked down the path to the hotel, seeing a Strange car he decided not to go right in there. He learned that going right into placed, could make you lose and Eye, or even a Horn. So with a sigh he made his way to the Garden, watchiing from the shadows and staying out of the light.
"Who do i spy with my red eye?"

"Wasn't expecting you to be here already,detective"
Hayes greeted him with a rough smile, extending his hand to shake.
"Mr. Angel, what can I say? I was eager to see where you worked. And, man, do you have a nice office!" His envy apparent.
Before he could continue, a young woman appeared behind Angel, catching whatever it was he'd tossed in her direction. Hayes didn't get a good look at it, but from the look on her face, it was likely to be something suspicious.
"Be right back,"
"It's funny, I get that reaction a lot." He said, half heartedly. "Is that your secretary?" He asked, trying to look over Angel's shoulder at where she'd gone. He became slightly distracted when he caught a whiff of something odd. He sniffed the air, then moved closer to Angel and sniffed him. Backing away he looked around curiously.
"You smell that? Smells like one of your drains is backed up, or maybe something died, but hasn't been found yet." he looked back at Angel. "You got a rat problem here?"

"Is that your secretary?"
"She's one of our most recentclients" Angel said approuching the detective "She had a stalker porblem..we took care of it" having Hayes drop by as they had the headless body of a banshee in his office wasn't the best timing in the world. He had to keep him busy long enough so Wesley could get the remains down into the basement so they could figure out what to do with it.
"You got a rat problem here?"
"Yeah, yeah" he said scratching the back of his head "We've killed a whole bunch of 'em but they just keep coming back. He shrugged slightly "Uh..I'll take you up to my room so we can talk, the office is a real mess right now"

Hayes gave him an uncomfortable look. Is he coming on to me?
"Actually, it wasn't you I wanted to speak to." He backed off a little bit further.
"How many employees do you have, exactly? I mean this is a big place, you must be doing well for yourself. You probably got loads of people working for you. What is it you do exactly? I'm guessing your a dick. Um...I mean a private detective. 'Cause why else would you be sorting out stalker's for people." There was a pause in his ramblings. "Unless you're some kind assasin for hire." He chuckled, but stopped suddenly when he glimpsed the weapons cabinet at the far end of the foyer.

Knowing where Hayes was looking he moved to the cabinet and closed the doors "I have four people in my employ" he said stepping away from the cabinet "There's Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, he's sorta like my second in command here, then there's Cordelia Chase, obviously who's our receptionist, there's Charles Gunn, he's our man on the street, gets us any info we need for the more difficult cases but he's in vacation" he looked to the stairs then backat Hayes "Then we have ouyr newest addition to the staff Winifred Burckle, she's the book person always helping us if we run into a dead end"

"That's a big ass axe you got there." He said, pointing towards the cabinet. "Not to mention a whole bunch of silverware that could take your eye out." He stared dumbfounded, oblivious to the fact Angel was closing the doors and now standing in front of them. "They're antiques right?" He looked at Angel for reassurance.
"I mean, if you actually used 'em, it'd be pretty dumb to just keep 'em on display in your foyer, right." He laughed as he spoke, mostly due to the absurdity of what he was saying, but slightly from nerves. Weapons weren't really his area of expertise. Especially when there were so many big sharp ones he could find himself on the end of. Angel led him away from the cabinet and to the reception desk, so he had his back to the offices.
"I'll start with your number two." He continued, deciding to get back to the job in hand. "Wesley Wyndham Whats-his-face." He said, not taking his eyes from the cabinet. "Is he around?"

"Yeah, he's in the office" obviously Angel didn't want Hayes to find a frshly decapitated Banshee on the floor, so he thought it was best to call Wesley out. Folding his arms he stuck his head over the reception desk "Um...Wesley..could..uh..could you come out here for a second" he looked back at Hayes then back to his office "There's a Detective Hayes here..wants to talk about Cordelia"

Hayes had been so distracted by the arsenal in the cabinet, he didn't notice Angel had shouted Wesley from the office behind him.
"Who the hell are you?"
So when the voice appeared from the other side of the lobby, he assumed it belonged to Angel's number two.
"Huh...." Hayes head swung around. With a fancy double barrelled name, he expected Wesley to be some upper class type. But the guy in front of him now looked more suited to a sleazy bar. Behind him a young woman followed. He summised it was Miss Burkle. He looked them both up and down.
"I'm the Easter bunny, come to bring chocolately goodness to the kids." he replied with heavy sarcasm. Then he flashed the badge on his belt.
"Mr. Wyndham Price, Miss Burkle...I have some questions to ask you."

Angel rolled his eyes seeing Henry and Shannon enter "They're not..Wes or Fred" he pointed "They're temporary staff..seems we've been getting a lot of cases lately so I hired them till things settle down" then he remembered Faith , Jesus, how the hell was he gonna explain that, young brunette comes sauntering in carrying a stake.
Folding his arms he turned away from Hayes.Keepign things underwraps was gonna be harder then he thought

~Shannon~
"Its a pleasure to meet you Detective Hayes, I'm Shannon Mannors." She smiled as sweetly as she could, and hope that He didn't know her father. That was the last thing she needed right now.
