Vincent K. McMahon is dead.

It was pretty obvious of that fact when Vince was found in his L.A. hotel room decapitated and his head missing. His body was split open and all of his organs were strewn all over the room, except for his heart.

Stephanie McMahon was found hysterical in front of his room.

Word spread quickly and investigators were there in less than half an hour.

Angel Investigations were the first ones there and the last to leave. They were hired by Vince's wife--and now widow, Linda McMahon and his son, Shane McMahon.

"What do you think Wes?" Gunn asked his British friend.

"It looks like a Kumalah demon. Or it could be a Wringwrath Worm or maybe even a Mecahloth demon. They are known for revenge and from what I know of this man, he has wronged many people from the past." Wesley sighed.

Fred came back in the room with Cordelia. "I am assuming we have many leads?"

"Not a single damn one...." said Gunn.

"Wait...what's that?" said Cordelia, pointing to a note sticking out of a pillow.

Gunn reached out with his glove covered hand and opened it.He cleared hsi throat before speaking. But before he did, he shivered.

"It says 1 down...and 9 to go. Wanna stop us. Try...if you dare....the cub is next...." said Gunn. "Who's the cub?" he asked.

"Shane McMahon" said Angel, who entered the room at that moment, causing them to jump. "And it's too late...he is already dead..."

"What do you mean he is already dead?" asked Cordelia.

"I saw the letter earlier, that's why I took off in such a rush and by the time I got to his hotel room, he was already dead." Angel sighed.

"How did he die?" asked Fred, not really wanting to know.

"His body was also split open but his head was intact. The only thing thats was taken was hands and his eyes..." Angel said. "Whoever is doing this....." he began but paused to sigh. "Is trying to get some revenge...they left a note too...."

"What did it say?" asked Wesley.

"It said that the time had come...time for hell on Earth..." thats it. However, I did manage to scrape some samples of blood before the police came. I also noticed this...." he said lifting a notebook in a plastic bag. "I checked the name out. It says J.P. Levesque."

"Who is that?" Gunn asked. "It sounds familiar..."

"It's me..." a voice called out. "I also go by Hunter Hearst Helmsley..."

The group turned around and found a bloody HHH there grasping his side. Blood was oozing from it and they could tell he had a deep wound.

"And I know who is behind this...." he said before wincing. He looked at them deadpan in the eye and with all seriousness, "It was....."

HHH then collapsed onto the floor.

Cordelia and Fred rushed to him. Wesley checked his vitals.

"He's unconcious. It must be from the blood loss. We need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible..."

Gunn dialed 911 on his cellphone and they prayed that whoever this Hunter man was, he wouldn't die.

Two days later

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While HHH was recouperating in the hospital, the entire WWF roster, crew, road agents...anyone that even crossed paths with Vince was called into Angel Investigations to be investigated.

Fred was doing research on the WWF. Linda had given her full access to all the WWF files. They had ruled out whoever was doing this, was not after Linda. She never had a bad encounter with anyone. However, that wasn't the same for Stephanie. Stephanie was in protective custody of Gunn.

"Any ideas of who might be on a murder spree?" a quiet voice asked, causing Fred to be a bit startled. Ever since they had taken on this case, everyone seemed to be a bit jumpy.

She turned around and she had to look up to see who it was.

Chris Jericho.

"Well that's what I am trying to figure out..." she sighed.

"May I?" he asked, gesturing to the empty seat next to her.

"Oh by all means, go ahead..." she said. She sighed and brushed her hair off her face.

"Stressed?" he asked.

"You could say so...I mean this is by far the largest case we have ever taken on. And they are so many suspects and so much to do. I don't think we'll ever solve it..."

"You will...just relax. I'll even help you!" Chris said.

"How?" she asked curiously.

"Well, I'll only help if you come to dinner with me..." he sais with a small smile creeping on his face.

"I've never dated a suspect..." she said slowly.

"Well there is a first time for everything..." he prodded.

Fred was about to answer when all of a sudden the lights went out and a scream was heard. The lights flew back on within seconds and in the main lobby was Lita's body. He head was split open and blood was forming a pool around her.

"No one move!"Angel yelled. "Fred, Cordy, Wes...secure every opening here. Gunn you stay with Stephanie. The killer is in here and I will find who they are."

"Um, Angel...I can't stay with Stephanie..." said Gunn.

"Why not?" Angel demanded.

"Because...she's missing...." he stated.
