The grizzled detective stares down at the grizzly scene. A young boy in an identical suit stands behind him. The scene consists of a man cut in two, his eye hangs out of its socket. The left half of the body is missing. Police officers take photos of the scene, marking evidence.

Uriel: "What do you think, kid?"

Angel: "There's blood everywhere..."

Uriel: "Sadly... It's usually like this."

Angel: "Are you going to resurrect this one too?"

Uriel: "Would if I could kid. This one's different."

Angel: "Is it? How so?"

Uriel: "Soul's been absolutely crushed. They died slowly, and painfully... It didn't make it over to the other side."

He winces.

Uriel: "Best I can do is read the information left over on the body. If we're lucky, it's a clue."

Angel: "Oh? Is it different every time?"

Uriel: "Yup. Every case is different. You get used to it when you're me."

Uriel leans over, and places the palm of his hand on the woman's forehead.

A man cooks silently, Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Winter, plays in the background. He turns the stove off, and lets the steak in the pan rest, as he mashes and seasons a potato. Once finishes, he places the steak, the potatoes, and sautéed vegetables on a plate.

After eating, he puts his plate in the dishwasher, and heads upstairs.

*CREEEEAAAK*

A door can be heard creaking.

Man: "Who's there?"

Silence answers.

After a shower, the man goes to bed, a knife by his side.

-----

The man wakes up the next morning, the sun rising outside. Or at least, it should be. The window replaced by a door. The man stares, slowly getting up, moving away from the door. He grabs the knife beside him as the door slowly creaks open.

-----

Uriel gets up, and goes around the bed to where the window sits. Marks on the carpet indicate that a door was opened, and closed there.

Uriel: "Miss, mark this. Seems like it was a demon. C'mon, we're wasting time."

Uriel points at the marks on the carpet, and a police officer places a yellow scene marker there. Then he beckons Angel.

Angel: "Are you alright? You look pale."

Uriel: "I'll be fine... I just need some coffee."
