While Doug is looking through Claire's personal effects straight from the coroners, Luca arrives at work.
"Have you ID'd the Vic from the alley yet ?" Luca asks setting his coat on the back of his chair and walks back over to Doug's desk.
"Claire Queens, Twenty-five, no priors, her wallet and driver's license were in the dumpster. Her sister is coming down from Deleware to claim the body," Doug says handing Luca the license.
"Any connection to the Halliwell family ?" Luca asks as he returns to his desk, still looking at the license.
"None I that I can tell," Doug says as Luca sits back at his desk behind him.
"Piper Halliwell looked me right in the eye, and lied to me about knowing her. Keep looking," Luca says handing Doug the license back.
"How do you do that ?" Doug asks as Luca starts reading the crime scene report that had been left on his desk.
"Do what ?" Luca asks still reading.
"That whole reading people thing? It can't be a psychology thing because then the department shrink could do it, and I've seen her enough times to know she can't," Doug says as Luca flips the page over.
"I don't know, it's just something I've always been able to do," Luca says studying the crime scene pictures.
"Hey, your adopted right, maybe you're actually a superhero, and that's your superpower," Doug says as Luca looks up,
"If I'm a superhero, then why do I still do my own paperwork ?"Luca asks as Doug smiles.
"You have a point," Doug says as the department secretary Mindy walks up to them.
"Guys," Mindy says as Luca and Doug look to her.
"Mindy, still single ?"Doug asks as Luca glares at him.
"Really ?"Luca asks as Doug shrugs.
"I got a right to ask," Doug says.
"Yes Doug, I am, but that's not why I'm here. An Inspector Halliwell from SFPD is here to you," Mindy says motioning back to the lobby.
"To see us ?" Doug asks a little surprised.
"He asked for Luca specifically," Mindy says pointing to Luca.
"Send him back," Luca says as Mindy nods then walk's back to her desk.
"Inspector Halliwell ?" Doug asks a little confused.
"Piper did say her son was a cop," Luca says as a blonde man walks up to them.
"Agents Donahue and Metzler ?" He asks stopping in front of the space between the two desks.
"Inspector Halliwell," Luca says as the man nods.
"Wyatt please, I'd like to talk to you about getting my Mom's restaurant released," Wyatt says as Luca and Doug look at each other.
"It's still a crime scene," Doug says as Wyatt looks a little disappointed.
"But it's absurd to keep it that way, that woman wasn't even killed in the restaurant. She died in the alley," Wyatt argues as Luca picks up Claire's driver's license photo that had been in the file he'd been reading.
"Claire," Luca says catching Wyatt off guard.
"I'm sorry ?" Wyatt asks turning to face Luca.
"Her name, it wasn't that woman. It was Claire, Claire was twenty-five years old, and we owe it to her family to find out what happened to her, and that why we're not releasing the restaurant," Luca says holding up Claire's picture for Wyatt to see. When Luca realizes that Wyatt is avoiding looking at the picture, he realizes something else, "You knew her,".
"No, I didn't," Wyatt insists.
"Yes you did, so did your mother. You're protecting her," Luca says setting down the picture.
"No, I'm not, I have no idea what you're talking about. I swear I never met her,"Wyatt insists as Luca stands up.
"I'm sure your mother told you that I can tell when people are lying to me, so I can tell that every word coming out of your mouth is the exact opposite of the truth," Luca says getting in Wyatt's face.
"You know what, this isn't worth it. Call me when you release the restaurant," Wyatt says handing Luca a business card from the pocket of his black slacks, then walks away.
"Superpower," Doug says after they watch Wyatt leave.
"We got them squirming now," Luca says throwing the white business card onto the desk, on top of Claire's file.
"If he relays that information back to his mother, you've got them boiling," Doug says as he continues looking through Claire's wallet when he pulls out a piece of white paper, with an address, date and time scribbled on in blue pen."Look at this, 1329 Prescott Street, 3 pm yesterday. She lived on the other side of town, what was she doing there ?" Doug asks handing Luca the paper.
"What was the time of death ?" Luca asks after reading the paper.
"Sometime after 5, but before Piper found her at 6," Doug says reading from the open coroner's report on his desk.
"So these people may have been the last to see her alive," Luca says as Doug nods.
"Or know who might be," Doug says as Luca picks his coat up from his chair.
"It's worth checking out," Luca says pulling his coat on.
"Want me to come ?" Doug asks.
"Nah, you stay here. Do some paperwork," Luca says as Doug smiles.
"So while you're the superhero who gets all the glory and the girls, I do all the work and get nothing in return," Doug says as Luca thinks it over.
"I already have a girl, you can keep the rest," Luca says as Doug smiles.
"So Samantha hasn't dumped you yet ?" Doug asks.
"Not yet," Luca says smiling.
"Do you mind me asking what's wrong with her ?" Doug asks.
"Yes I do mind," Luca says as he starts to walk away.
"It's a valid question," Doug says after Luca.
"No, not really," Luca says as he walks to the elevator.
1329 Prescott Street was a large Manor, painted a very pale purple, and just looking at it you could tell that it has a lot of history.
As Luca rings the doorbell, he suddenly gets a flash.
Like his ability to read people, start fires, and a few other things, whenever Luca touches a certain object, he gets a flash of someone else holding the object, they come in handy sometimes, but most of the time its a pain in the ass. He saw Claire Queens, pressing the doorbell repeatedly and getting more and more panicked every time she doesn't get an answer. Luca blinks a few times, snapping him back to reality.
The door is then opened by a man in his early fifties.
"Can I help you ?" The man asks looking Luca up and down.
"Yes, I'm Agent Luca Donahue with the FBI," Luca says flashing the man his badge, "Do you live here ?".
"Yes, close to twenty-eight years now, Leo Wyatt," Leo says as Luca puts his badge away.
"Mind if I come in and ask you a few questions ?" Luca asks as Leo looks behind him, then agrees.
When Luca steps into the foyer, he gets the strangest feeling of familiarity, like he'd been there before, but that wasn't what disturbed him the most, what disturbed him was how completely at home he felt.
"Mr. Wyatt, the reason I'm here is a woman was murdered downtown last night, and I have reason to believe that she was in your home before her death," Luca says as he pulls Claire's picture from the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and holds it out to Leo. "Recognize her ?".
Leo looks at the photograph for a few seconds but then shakes his head. "No, I've never seen her before. Who is she ?" Leo says. Unlike with Piper and Wyatt, Luca knew this man was telling the truth and had no idea who she was.
"Her name was Claire Queens. Does that sound familiar ?" Luca asks putting the picture back into his pocket.
"No, I don't think so," Leo says, again he was telling the truth.
"Do you live alone ?" Luca asks.
"No, my wife and daughter live here too, but they're not home right now," Leo says starting to get agitated.
"Do you think she came here to see one of them ?" Luca asks.
"Look I know you need to ask these questions, but I really don't appreciate what you're implying about my family," Leo says as the back door opens and closes.
"Leo," A woman's voice calls from the kitchen.
"Who's that ?" Luca asks turning to the direction of the kitchen.
"Just my wife," Leo says as Piper walks into the foyer, not knowing Luca was also there.
"Ms. Halliwell, you live here ?" Luca asks after overcoming his shock.
"What the hell is going on ?" Leo asks.
"What's going on is Claire Queens came to your house yesterday, and two hours later she was dead in the alley behind your wife's restaurant, who lied to me about not knowing her," Luca says as Leo and Piper look at each other, Leo finally understanding.
"I don't know what kind of game the two of you are playing, but I want the truth. Now,".
Leo and Piper say nothing, they just look at each other trying to figure out what to say.
"Nothing, because why would you say anything. The truth will come out, I'll see to that," Luca says as he walks to the door, and slams it behind him.
Luca's SUV was identical to Doug's, and when Luca slides into the driver's seat, he takes his phone from his pants pocket and calls his partner.
"Agent Metzler,".
"Yeah, Doug it's me. I need you to put a twenty-four-hour detail on Piper Halliwell and her husband Leo Wyatt," Luca says as he pulls on his seatbelt.
"Why ?"Doug asks as Luca takes on more look at the house before he starts the car.
"Because they are now suspects in the murder of Claire Queens,"Luca says as he pulls away from the Manor.
Back inside, Leo looks to his wife.
"What the hell was that about ?".
"He thinks we might have done something to Claire," Piper says as Leo slowly nods.
"Paige's charge, why would he think that ?" Leo asks still a little confused.
"Because he knew I was lying about not knowing her," Piper says.
"How could he possibly know that," Leo says his voice raising.
"Gee I don't know, Leo. Maybe because I had a sign on my forehead saying that Claire Queens came to see me the night she died," Piper snaps.
Two of Paige's children, Tamara and Henry who had been helping her look through the book, had come down the stairs and were standing on the landing, watching the fight.
"Should we ?" Tamara asks, looking to her younger brother.
"It's too important to wait," Henry says as Tamara nods.
"Hey, hey we need to talk to you," Tamara says but Piper and Leo don't respond and continue with their argument.
Losing his patience, Henry finally yells,"Both of you shut up,".
This causes Piper and Leo to turn to their niece and nephew, and Henry realizes he just told his Aunt and Uncle to shut up.
"Respectively," Henry quickly adds.
"We may have found out who killed Claire," Tamara says as Piper and Leo look interested," And trust me, you're going to want to hear this".
