(Angel walks past an ambulence in the alley, ducks under the police tape, picks up a cup of coffee and stops a step ahead of a young police officer.)

ANGEL: (looking at the crime scene) So, what have we got here?

OFFICER: Uh -- you're not --

ANGEL: (looking past the officer) Hey, you wanna get behind the tape? You gotta gawk, go home and watch a high speed chase on Fox. (To the officer) You want to think about keeping the tourists off my crime scene?

OFFICER: But I-I'm --

ANGEL: (walks towards the crime scene) I'm out of vice three weeks, I've seen enough amateur night crap to fill a mini-series. You wanna pretend that's not a cub scouts uniform and tell me about dead people?

OFFICER: Uh, well, detective, what happened is we had to scrape them off the wall. (Angel sips his coffee and grimaces.) Guys got pinned by a two ton dumpster.

ANGEL: It fell on them.

OFFICER: Ah, no. They were actually pinned to the wall. Looks like somebody might have shoved the dumpster from the side.

ANGEL: Have to be somebody pretty strong.

OFFICER: Yeah. You're telling me. (Points at some blood on the ground) Splashed those guys all the way up here.

ANGEL: (crouching over the blood) It's not their blood.

OFFICER: Excuse me?

ANGEL: (stands back up) You seen a girl tonight? Maybe a little scared, beat-up?

OFFICER: Huh-uh. Nobody but our Mr. Bills. You know (high pitched voice) 'Oh no, Mr. Bill' -- krech!

ANGEL: (turns away) Right.

(Angel walks further down the alley, looking around as a guy in a suit comes up behind the officer. He opens his jacket to show the shield clipped to his belt.)

DETECTIVE: So, what have we got here?

(Officer looks at him, then back the way Angel went.)
