"No, I need them for tonight." A pregnant Piper Halliwell argued with the man on the phone. Her younger sister Paige Matthews watched the scene unfold right in front of her and shook her head in dismay. Her sister shouldn't be here arguing with this man. She should be relaxing at home.
"Fine! I'll just get a new act!" Piper snapped amnd slammed the phone down on the bar.
"Is everything alright?" The redhead asked her older sister. "No. I just lost an act becuase of their freaking manager, my bartender quit on me, and my child keeps kicking me in the ribs!"
"I think I can help you with one of those problems." They heard someone say. They turned around and saw a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, spiked up brown hair, slight stubble, and piercing blue eyes standing by the stairs. Paige was taken back by how handsome the man was. He was wearing jeans and had on a Rolling Stones T-shirt. She didn't know what it was about him that she found so intoxicating.
"Um...who are you?" Piper asked.
The man walked over and held out his hand. "James Robert."
Piper shook the man's hand. "I hope I'm not intruding on anything. I was just walking by and saw the help wanted sign out front. I can be your bartender." He smiled sheepishly.
"How old are you?" Paige asked.
"Twenty-five." He replied. "Do you have a liquor license?" Piper asked.
"I do actually, but it's at my apartment."
"If you can bring it tonight, you have a job." Piper told him.
James smiled, walked over, and shook Piper and Paige's hand before leaving.
Paige was still left in amazement of James. She now was trying to figure out what to wear tonight now knowing that he'd be here.
Piper, however, was confused by the young man. He reminded her so much of someone. But, the person he reminded her of, he better have a good explanation.
Phoebe Halliwell waved her hand in front of her as she sat in the conservatory. Of course, it had to be there air conditioner that went out during a heat wave. She was happy that she had gotten the number of a repair man.
His name was Caleb. She didn't get his last name, which she thought was a little strange.
Let's just hope this isn't some plan from a demon, Phoebe thought. She knew that she no longer had to deal with her demonic ex-husband, who was vanquished a month ago.
She heard a knock on the front door and jumped up. She adjusted her blue crop top before walking over to the door.
Once she opened it, she was taken back by the man in front of her. He was about a little taller than her, had short brown hair, stubble, and blue eyes.
"Are you Ms. Halliwell?" The man asked. "Yeah. You must be Caleb."
He nodded. She stepped aside so he could come in. He walked in, and Phoebe didn't try to hide her wandering eyes.
She stared up and down his muscular body. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, but she thought it was very form fitting.
He turned around and smiled. "Where's your central heating and cooling system?" He asked.
"Follow me." She smiled and headed towards the air conditioning unit.
They were soon met by Piper's husband/whitelighter Leo Wyatt.
"Hey Phoebe. Is this the repairman?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, this is Caleb." She turned and saw that Caleb looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"You alright man?" Leo asked.
"Um...yeah. Is it out the back door?" He asked Phoebe.
"Yeah and it's the first thing you'll see on your right.''
He nodded. "It was nice meeting you Leo."
"Same to you." Leo replied.
Caleb walked past Leo and as he did, he started quietly singing a song.
"Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight, and we'll dance by the light of the moon."
Once Caleb was outside, he looked at the ground and shook his head. "It can't be…"
His phone went off and he quickly reached into his pocket to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Caleb, hey."
"James, you'll never believe who I just saw."
"Who? Also, we're going out tonight to that club, P3."
"Okay, whatever, but I just saw Leo."
"Leo? As in Leo Wyatt?"
"That's the one."
"Impossible! He's dead! We watched him be put in the ground!'
"Or so we thought. The Elders must have something to do with this. We need to hurry up and figure this out, before HE finds us first."
Caleb quickly hung up his phone once he heard the backdoor close. He ran over and tried to make it look like he had been there the entire time.
"Found our problem yet?" Phoebe asked him.
"Yeah. There's a wasp nest on the fan, keeping it from turning. Don't worry though, I can fix it." he smiled. She smiled back and walked back into the house.
Once she was gone, Caleb raised his hand above the nest and a blue light shown from it. In a blink of an eye, the wasp nest was gone.
Caleb waited for a few moments before walking inside.
He noticed that Leo was now gone. "Wasp nest is gone." Caleb smiled.
Phoebe smiled and grabbed her purse. "How much is it?" she asked.
"Well, you can pay me by going out with me tonight. My brother told me that we're going to some club called P3, and I'd love for you to join us."
"P3? My sister owns that club. So, I guess that means we can make it a group thing?" Phoebe suggested.
Caleb smiled and nodded. "I'd like that. I'll see you tonight."
