Witch Hunt part 13

"Sure Agent Wyatt look under the back seat." Sledge said as he pulled up to the museum. Leo pulled a police nightstick from under the seat and orbed out.

"Hey! Where did he go?" Sledge asked as he stopped and found Leo gone.

Uncovering his face Darryl Morris said, "He went ahead. He has always been quick on his feet." Getting out of the car they found the museum door locked and (after using the Hammer lock pick blam!)blocked so they split up to find other ways in.

"Swing low sweet Prudence!" Dan serenaded Prue as she was being lowered to her doom! "MMPH!" Prue groaned, 'Dan's singing is more torture! Don't these scum have any mercy?'

Now inside the museum Leo orbed from room to room and found, 'Piper! And that is a Pendulum!' Fear for his lover caused Leo to attack immediately rather than wait for help. He orbed into action!

As Phoebe popped to the surface again she heard sounds of pain and struggle just before she went down again! Piper was staring at the pendulum when she heard Dan whimper "You broke my nose!" Turning her head she saw Dan sitting and holding his nose and a pair of witch hunters down and approaching her a familiar man, 'Leo!' Then as he went to unstrap her from the slab a large form came up behind her fiance! "MMMMMMPH!" Piper warned her love and WHAM! Leo turned and clocked Jobodd with the nightstick!

Jobodd smiled! KRAK! POW! Two crushing blows by Jobbodd dropped Leo to the floor barely moving! Smiling Jobbodd picked Leo up and stepped up onto Piper's slab. Seeing his intent Piper thought, 'Leo no!' And screamed "MMMMMMMMMPH!!" Jobbodd just smiled at her and lifted Leo's battered body into the path of the pendulum...

Witch Hunt part 14

"MMMMPH!!" Piper cried as the pendulum swung back toward the helpless Leo when, BLAM!! Something hit Jobodd in the chest and he fell from the slab taking Leo with him! 'Just missed Leo but where did? Ooh!' Piper thought as she noticed a man on the pendulum!

"AAAAAAAARGH!!" Peter Mather screamed in frustration as he saw Sledge Hammer standing on top of the pendulum blade!

"That is a instrument of execution not a swing set you lunatic!" He screamed at a smiling Sledge and then ordered his recovering men." Shoot him you fools!

Darryl finding his way in saw this and thought, 'He has got to be kidding!" Just then, "MMPH!" An exhausted Phoebe saw Darryl and screamed for help with what might have been her last breath! She went under again! Putting his gun aside and doffing his jacket Darryl yelled "Sledge I need a knife pronto!" Thwak! A large knife(think Crocodile Dundee) embedded itself in the dunking stool 3" from Darryl's nose! 'I knew Sledge would have a big knife. I wouldn't be surprised by anything he pulled out now!' Darryl thought and placing the knife between his teeth Darryl dived into the pool!

Prue starting to sweat thought, 'I must be getting close to the oil now!' And as usual Prue was right less than 10' separated her from the boiling oil! Panicky Piper watched as the pendulum got closer with every swing! Fortunately Leo half crawling dragged himself to her slab and began unstrapping her!

Blam! Sledge gunned down one of the witch hunters and holstered his now empty revolver. The witch hunters smiled, until Sledge pulled a .45 military handgun out of his waistband holster (clip fed for easy reloading)and resumed the gunfight!

In the pool Darryl found Phoebe who wasn't moving anymore!

At the pendulum Leo had undone her shoulder strap and fumbled with Piper's belly strap. Neither saw Jobodd rise from the floor...

Witch Hunt part 15

As Leo undid the belly strap the pendulum was only inches away from Piper! Jobodd came up behind Leo and shoved him down on top of Piper! "Die together fools!" He said as the Pendulum swung back for a killing stroke!

Darryl slashed the ropes holding Phoebe to the dunking stool and brought her to the surface! But he realized, 'She isn't breathing!'

Leo was unable to break Jobodd's hold and unwilling to leave Piper when, BLAM!! Jobodd received a third eye courtesy of Sledge Hammer! With one final effort from his bruised and battered body Leo grabbed Piper and rolled to the end of the slab! Forced into a sitting position by this Piper looked over her shoulder and saw, 'Gulp!' There is a nice deep slice where I was just lying! A split-second more and ... must remember to faint when this is all over!'

Now out of the pool Darryl ripped the gag from Phoebe's mouth. Turning her on her stomach he began artificial respiration to force the water from her lungs.

Prue still struggling was now, 'Feeling very hot! Help somebody help me!' "MMMMMMPH!!" Peter Mather noticed 'She is only 5' or 1 minute away now and I still have 2' BLAM!! 'Err make that 1 man left!' "Get him Gordon!"

A terrified Dan Gordon(who had managed to hit the pendulum with all six shots before Sledge hopped off) dropped his empty gun and challenged the psycho Inspector Hammer. "Let's settle this man to man and hand to hand!"

Holstering his gun Sledge smiled and said "Your funeral maggot!" He then caught Dan with a flying tackle and they landed

behind the guillotine!

No sooner had Leo gotten the tape off of Piper mouth and the rubber heart out than she flexing her overstretched jaw said,"Help Prue before it is too late!" But Phht! A bullet from Mather's silenced gun hit Leo in the shoulder and he fell to his knees. Mather angrily pointed his gun at Piper and BLAM! BLAM!! BLAM!!

Meanwhile from behind the guillotine Dan's voice was heard, "Mommy! Uncle! GURRRRRK!!"

After the gunshots Peter Mather collapsed to the ground. Piper saw Darryl(standing over a now conscious Phoebe) blow off his barrel gunfighter style and say "Mess with Morris & Hammer and your next job is as a chain link fence!" All of a sudden Morris realized what he had said and his jaw dropped! Phoebe and Piper both stared at him! "MMMMPH!" 'What about me?' Prue called attention to her plight 2' above the oil when Jobodd got up again! The hole in his head no longer there! Piper and Phoebe quickly realized "He's a warlock!" Jobodd the warlock advanced on Darryl as Prue grew even closer to her doom!

Witch Hunt part 16a

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Morris emptied his revolver into Jobodd and sprinted across the museum!

Prue only inches from the oil and sweating heavily heard Phoebe's voice shouting, "Prue do your crunches now and HOLD!!" Prue complied but thought, 'Can't keep this up long! and it will only give a few extra seconds so what?" Suddenly Prue felt herself stop descending and then start back up!

Darryl had just thrown the lever controlling Prue's descent into reverse and went "Whew that was ACK!" As Jobodd blinked in

front of him! With a smirk on his face Jobodd said, "You didn't get me in the heart or head like your partner so I recovered faster! And now there is no longer a reason to hide my blinking power. These witch hunters usefulness is at an end, as is yours!" His gun empty Darryl yelled for help! "Sledge!"

Jobodd batted Darryl aside and went for the lever as...

Sledge popped up from behind the guillotine with a very blue Dan in a choke hold! Seeing Jobodd throw the switch he dropped Dan and ran towards the warlock drawing his gun en route.

"MMMPH!" Prue screamed when she realized she was descending towards the oil again!

'A little more!' Phoebe thought as she used Sledge's knife(which Darryl left by her) on the fourth and last of her leg bonds.

BLAM! Sledge put a bullet through Jobodd's back and leaped over him to reverse the lever! Prue started up again but, so did Jobodd! "I have never wanted to kill a mortal as much as you!"

Her legs finally free Phoebe ran over to Piper and got back to back with her.

Slapping Hammer aside Jobodd started Prue down again and turned to finish Sledge.

"MMPH!" 'I am getting nauseous!' Prue thought as she went back down and then up again!

Hearing the chain reverse again, Jobodd turned and saw Darryl standing by the lever. "AAAAAARGGH!" He screamed and charged Darryl!

"Ok! Get the next rope!" Piper said as Phoebe cut through the rope holding her left wrist to her right elbow. "Our side is in

trouble!"

Jobodd picked up Darryl and threw him across the museum! The inspector managed to twist his body and land in the dunking pool avoiding injury. But he was out of the fight for now!

Jobodd sent Prue down again, causing her to scream in frustration! "MMMMMMMMMMMPH!!" This monsters are toying with me! I bet Dan is doing this for kicks! If only I weren't blindfolded!"

As Jobodd went after Sledge again, Phoebe kept cutting! "Oh! That's better!" Piper said as the rope on her forearms was cut and encouraged Phoebe, "Just one more!"

BLAM! BLAM! Hammer shot Jobodd twice more but groggy didn't get his head or heart and just slowed him down! He got Sledge and started to strangle him! Out of the corner of his eye he saw Prue once again bending upwards to stay out of the oil!

"Hurry Phoebe! Leo pull yourself together and do something!" Piper urged!

Witch Hunt part 16b

'I can't hold this anymore, oh!' Prue thought as just as he was about to go into the oil the chain reversed again!

Dropping Hammer Jobodd whirled and saw Leo by the lever. Blinking over a berserk rage in his eyes he went for the wounded Whitelighter when he stopped! Or rather Piper, her hands finally free, froze him!

As Sledge got to his feet and Morris pulled himself out of the pool Sledge questioned "Agent Wyatt, what did she just do?"

Thinking quickly Leo replied, "Sledge I am really not FBI, I am CIA. This is National Security need to know stuff. I am sure you understand!"

Slapping his head Hammer replied "Of course then ugly here(pointing to Jobodd) really isn't Japanese but must be Chinese in disguise! Some sort of Commie genetic super soldier! Well we know how to deal with their kind! Give me a hand partner?"

"Sure Sledge! What do you have in mind?" Darryl replied.

The Inspectors consulted as Piper started cutting Phoebe 's arms free and the sisters saw a very bizarre sight! Hammer and Morris each took one side of Jobodd, got a running start and threw him into the vat of boiling oil!! They then did a high five!

"Um Darryl are you all right?" Piper asked after this out of character for Morris action.

Smiling sheepishly Morris patted Hammer on the shoulder and replied, "Sledge is rubbing off on me!"

"MMMMMMMPH!!" Hearing her sisters voices Prue cried for attention and thought, 'Get me down!'

Witch Hunt epilogue

Battered, bruised and half strangled Dan Gordon crawled quietly away thinking, 'If I can just sneak out of' "OWWWWWWW!!" Dan screamed as a black 3" high heel pinned his right hand painfully to the floor! "Gurk!" He yelped again as Piper's other heel ground into his back! Pleading for mercy Dan said, "Piper you usually aren't so vicious! Cut me some slack for old times sake, please!"

Piper angrily replied, "After you drugged me, tied me up, gagged me with that big rubber heart and strapped me to a pendulum? Plus what you did to my sisters and Leo? Heh, not a chance! Don't worry about my heel in your kidney you have a spare!"

Finally Prue was on the floor and with Sledge, Darryl and Phoebe all working quickly freed from her bonds. Furious Prue looked around and saw Piper heeling Dan. Grabbing Phoebe she rushed over and said, "Piper STOP!" Piper lifted her eyebrow in annoyance and Dan whimpered in relief until Prue said, "Don't be greedy, leave some of him for us!"

Watching this Sledge commented, "Well Morris, Wyatt, I see why you like these ladies! I never knew women's shoes could make a criminal scum cry like that!"

Later at Halliwell manor: Piper in a short hot pink bathrobe helped Leo get off his blood stained clothes and into the shower. Innocently enough the Whitelighter said, "I am not quite myself yet Piper could you help with my back?" His answer was a smile and the dropping of her bathrobe to the floor...

At police HQ, the chief talked to Morris again, "OK Darryl you have suffered enough. I will get you a new partner now."

Darryl stood up and said, "Why chief? Sledge is the finest officer I have ever known and a real American hero! I am proud to serve with and learn from him!" The chief's jaw drops and he starts to pale but Darryl continues, "I need to go now chief my trigger finger is getting itchy and Sledge is waiting!" With that Darryl turns and leaves the office as the pale faced, totally shocked chief starts making strangled noises! Once outside the office Darryl smiles and thinks to himself, 'Gotcha!'

A week later at the Price asylum for the criminally insane. "Hey what are these things for?" Dan asked.

Doctor Vincent replied, "They are electrodes for your shock therapy."

"Shock Therapy?" Dan questioned as the switch was thrown and "AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!"

The end.
