Disclaimer: I own nothing, ugh…that's depressing.

"Hello, Mr. Mandrake. How are you feeling?" Piper asked politely. She sat down beside him at the four chaired kitchen table. Kitty walked over and sat on his other side.

"I'm feeling much better today, thank you Piper. How have you been?" Nathaniel asked. Piper was clearly shocked that Nathaniel was asking about her. Kitty looked at Nathaniel and saw him wince at Piper's shocked expression.

"I'm, uh, good. Kitty works me like a slave, though." Piper smiled at Kitty and laughed a little. Nathaniel smiled at Kitty before turning back to Piper.

"So, what do you ladies want to eat today? We can order in," Nathaniel said and Rosie interrupted, "I can make you all something, if you like."

"Oh, don't worry about it Rosie. You go ahead and take a break. We'll order something." Kitty said. Rosie thanked her and collected her things. She said she'd be back at four.

"Well, that worked out nicely. I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of her without being mean so we could get to work. Now, what do you all want to order?" They finally decided on pizza. Piper and Kitty pulled out their files and began explaining the government plans to Nathaniel. Everything was going great. Piper seemed to forget her reservations about Nathaniel. Nathaniel seemed to like their plans, even making new plans that the girls quickly added to their files. And then the doorbell rang. Kitty got up to answer it, weaving her way through the gigantic house. She pulled the door open and there stood Roger, and Jakob. Kitty felt her eyes widen as she stepped aside to let them in, stunned into silence. Jakob.
