Angel isn't accustomed to things going his way. In fact, on the rare occasion that they do, it tends to make him nervous, because he's always certain everything will eventually snap back to normal, and it's hard to duck out of the way of a self-correcting universe.
And lately, recent events have been going rather generously his way. First
demonic LA reverts to normal all by itself, and now, just as he's hoping to return to his earlier career as a private investigator, along comes a murder in Milliways.
Of course, he's already heard there's a formal investigation underway, and whoever they are, they'll probably end up solving the case. But Alanna
wants to know what he thinks about the evidence, so Angel is dutifully going through his notes and trying to decide what to tell her.
