First a thank you to my reviewers:
JadeAlmasy – Glad you enjoyed my job at writing Paige.
FirePony16 – Yep, definitely longer. In fact I'm beginning to think it will be longer than the 70 chapters I predicted. I've written 56 chapters so far, and I don't really see the end in sight and there is so much left to do. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.
piperspeanut – As it says below, I now have through chapter fourteen posted. Looking at the info I have, there will be at least 23 chapters to this story . . . I think.
TaintedDarkInuShemeeko – I'm afraid this one is short, too. The next one is much longer. Glad you enjoyed the last one and hope you enjoy this one as well.
du1387 – Working on that. I don't have major progress with the demon until chapter 15. I had things that needed to get done in various place first, so that got pushed that way. It's actually a lot sooner than in my outline, which I agree, they need to get to figuring out and vanquishing this demon.
Soulstar86 – I am fully impressed and bowled over. Wow! Thanks, so much for spending so much of your time reading my stories. I'm delighted that you love them. As to referencing stuff in Charmed, I like to do that, so there will be a lot more of that. I also intend to bring back innocents, both mine from this series and from Charmed. Of course, I've already brought in Kevin and indirectly Ava and of course the people on the answering machine. Kevin will be showing up again, many times, though not much this season. Ava will show up eventually, though I am at a loss as to when. I can think of one story that will possibly have her. I have an upcoming episode with Tyler in it. I hope I hear from you a lot in reviews.
I'm afraid that this is a rather short chapter. One of the ones coming up is considerable longer. I have through chapter fourteen posted on my site. Fifteen is completed as well and that's where the most progress on the demon hunt comes, including a name for the demon. I will upload that chapter on my site in the next couple of days or sooner if I get reviews. As I have that far ready, I will post those chapters as I get reviews. The more reviews I get the more inclined I will be to upload a chapter sooner.
Chapter Ten – Good Enough?
Wyatt and Callie stood several feet from the stove watching Emily as she worked on slicing a block of cheese. Callie leaned over and whispered, "You had to interview a waitress. We need a replacement for Jen."
Jen? Wyatt thought puzzled. Oh, right, the chef that quit before Christmas.
Not knowing Wyatt's thoughts, Callie kept whispering. "It's been almost two months. We can't keep doing this." She watched as Emily grabbed a skillet and kept working. "I can't believe you suggested she make a grilled cheese sandwich."
I don't cook, he thought to himself, knowing he couldn't voice the thought, and I can't name half the stuff on the menu here . . . what was I supposed to suggest?
"So how it the interview going so far?"
Wyatt realized that this time she wanted an answer, so he whispered back, "She is friendly." It was the only answer he could come up with.
Callie frowned and looked at him. "What?"
It was then that Emily came over with two plates saving him from having to answer. "I figured I'd make one for each of you." She held out the plates.
Callie looked at it suspiciously, as if she hadn't eaten something so ordinary in a long time, but she did take the plate.
Wyatt took the proffered plate and picked up the sandwich. After he took a bite, he smiled. This is good. "Thank you, Emily. Why don't you go back into the dining room and I'll be with you shortly."
Emily smiled, brightly. "Yes, Ma'am."
Ma'am, the word reverberated through his mind. Mom wouldn't like that too much. He watched as Emily left the kitchen before turning to Callie, wondering how one got advice without appearing to get advice.
So what do you think? Will Emily get hired? Find out in chapter twelve "To Hire Or Not", but first chapter eleven "The Book." Both chapters are considerably longer than this one. Hope you enjoyed and please let me know what you thought, either way.
