Angelo using his private resources started the Mancuso Detective agency. He hired the fired SIS officers and detectives in order to investigate the reason for the firing and to keep the team together. Investigation uncovered the Demonic Bank Robbers, a coven of male witches, that had used black magic to get Simons his position. Crippling the SIS was the price for their services. With the SIS out of the way they could operate more freely.
Once the situation with Simons was solved and the Coven of black witches put away the SIS was reinstated and the fired officers rehired. Simons was threatened with prosecution or worse if he hinted about running again. However they would have to reveal certain things to get him canned, the stand off remained for four years.
Several members, Such as Rebecca Stevens declined to be rehired and took other positions. On consideration Angelo decided to keep the detective agency running as a source of investigation not tied to the same rules as the cops and a blind for SIS activities that serve justice, but are not politically safe, even for the SIS.
John Falstaff a disabled B-13 agent was brought into run the agency after Angelo discovered he was not superman and couldn't be a cop and a PI at the same time.
The agency makes a living at the usual things that private detectives do. Staking out insurance fraud, tracking down cheating spouses and other "exciting" things. They are licensed by the State of California to do exactly these things and testify in a court about what they see. Being private detectives they have no power of arrest, but likewise live under much looser rules of acquiring evidence than do the police.
Most of the detectives, a herd of 18, are not aware of the Agency's direct ties to Bureau 13, they are the bread and butter of the business. Of Note Are:
*John Falstaff -- John was a disabled B-13 agent, yes a rare thing. John is a larger than life happy go lucky type that is everyone best friend. It's a useful talent in the private investigator business. He is the official face of the Mancuso Detective Agency. John had an artificial leg, this was corrected during the Healing Wave. He is back as an agent and considered well placed right where he is. B-13
