Ashley knew when she appeared with a flash, she was home to get her things. Her mom would have Henry set up something in her room to tell her that she was back.

All she had to do was be faster than her mom or maybe...

When she appeared in her room it set off the alarm in Magnus office, telling her that Ashley was back. She grabbed her phone off the desk. Flipped it open and hit the John's speed dial number for John. He answered it."Is she here?"

"Yes."

"Be right their."

John appeared with a flash of light in front of Magnus's desk. Magnus stood up and reached out to him. They touched hands and were gone in a flash and an electrical buzz. They appeared in Ashley's room with a flash of light between Ashley and where her overnight bag was zipped up and ready to go on her bed.

Magnus noticed Ashley had something in her hand, it was a perfume bottle.

"Ashley." Magnus said and started to come toward her.

"Stop mom if you come any closer I leave." She said, taking a step back.

Druitt spoke. "Don't speak to your mother like that."

"Stay out of this Druitt this is between mom and I."

Druitt took a step toward his daughter. Magnus grabbed his arm quickly and shook her head no; as a sign to stay out of it.

"What do you want Ashley?" She was not sure what was going on, but keeping Ashley here would hopefully get some answers.

"I'm safe with Will and will come home when he does."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all."

Magnus saw a twinkle in Ashley eyes that she did not like. She let go of johns arm. It was a sign for him to stop Ashley.

Their was a flash of light and electrical buzz as john disappeared from where he was in front of his daughter. To appeared behind with a flash of light; but when he did, Ashley disappeared in a flash of light an electrical current and appeared next to the bed with a near identical flash of light. After she touched she touched the overnight bag she was gone again.

She appeared in the bathroom of the motel room that she had left moments ago.

He was sitting on the bed watching TV when he saw the flash at the bottom of the door. And he knew was she was back again.

Magnus looked at the empty room, where just a short time ago. She and John had tried to catch Ashley. Now she was gone and would not come back until William came back, if Ashley was telling the truth.

Why did Ashley come back? And why was that perfume so important to Ashley? That she would risk getting caught going back for it.

What was Helen over looking? Then she started going though Ashley's dresser drawers one by one. looking for what? She would know when she found it. So she looked in one drawer after the next one till she had gone though every one of Ashley's dresser drawers. Then she left Ashley's room and went too her office.

Some thing was off about Ashley's room but she could not put her finger on what it was. Something about that perfume continued to bother her. When had Ashley seen that perfume, smelled it and then bought it.

Then it hit her, she stood up grabbed her phone flipped it open called John and he answered. "Hello?"

"My office now." Magnus hung up and waited.

Their was a flash of light as john appeared in front of Magnus desk.

"Take me to Ashley's room I think I know what she was after." She held out her hand to him when they touched. In that flash of light an electrical buzz they disappeared from Magnus office and with another flash of light they appeared back in Ashley's room.

"What was Ashley after?" John asked.

"William." Magnus just started pulling all the dresser draws and dumping them on the bed. She started going through them looking for one particular set. Finally she looked up at john and said. "Their not here. Damn it how could I have missed them? Now Williams really in for it."

"What? Make sense Helen?"

She just shook her head and sighed. she looked up at john. "It happened before William was part of the sanctuary. Ashley caught me at a weak moment. She got me to go shopping with her at a mall... first trying on things, then eating. She was able to get into one those places that sold only perfume for a woman. She even got me into a Victoria secrets. 'She smirked at the memory.' "You know the type of clothes they have there. She had one of clerks help me out.

God, I was so embarrassing when she got me in the store. After she got the clerk to help me she went shopping why I was busy fighting off one of the sales clerk. Then she show up at the cash register with an almost see through teddy, bra and thong underwear. All red-rose color. And now that I think about it that perfume was rose scented to." At that she had to chuckle. Why had she not seen it before.

"William is not going to stand a chance against are daughter." John commented with a smirk.

Helen shrugged. "Do not under-estimate William, John. He held off Kate for almost three years." She laughed.

"Kate isn't are Ashley."

"True."

After She returned to the bathroom, she put the bag down. took off her clothes then got in the shower. When Will heard the shower turn on, he sat back and wondered where she had been but then thought better of it. She washed out the temporary hair dye so her hair was back to it's blonde color that she knew Will liked.

When she finished, she turned off the shower. Dried off her hair and got into her "comfy" clothes and robe for the night. Than she came out. "It's all yours Will."
