Chapter 220
.
This latest journey into Hell had not gone as well as they'd hoped. They had come for Hope and Benjamin, but they seemed to want to stay in Hell, they liked the power that they had. The heroes had also come for Parker and Abby. Benjamin used his sources to find them, it seemed that those two shared power in a nearby kingdom. Mel and Maggie wanted to wait a few days, be certain that Parker and Abby didn't want to leave. Benjamin agreed to have them come to a diplomatic feast, a way to conspire towards an alliance. In the days that followed Phoebe was able to get to know her son better. It was also during this time that Benjamin survived an assasination attempt. It was from an old "friend" of Phoebe, Chrissy. As a child Chrissy had been kidnapped by the Triad, they raised her to be evil. Chrissy's sister Billy searched for her for years, was even friends with the charmed ones. In the end, Chrissy was destroyed along with the Triad, now it seemed she was working with the Triad again. Benjamin and Cole worked together to stop Chrissy. They were ready to kill her, until Phoebe asked them not to.
.
Phoebe: Please, I know her sister.
Cole: She just tried to kill our son Phoebe.
Phoebe: I know, but I'd like to help save her, for Billy's sake.
Chrissy: Billy let you destroy me.
Phoebe: You didn't exactly give her much of a choice. But maybe you can both do better.
Cole: Maybe exile would be a sufficient punishment, provided she gives us intel about the Triad.
Benjamin: Okay, I can reward a turncoat with her life. But if she doesn't give us something I will not be able to spare her life. Your choices are Antarctica, or the Lake of fire.
Chrissy: Okay, I'll tell you what I know. I don't work for the Triad anymore, I work for Zankou.
Benjamin: That makes sense, how did you know how to sneak in here?
Chrissy: Zankou said he used a demonic oracle, but they also got intel from a couple of your guards. Zankou gave those guards sanctuary already.
Benjamin: We have had a couple of guards call out sick the last few days. We'll have to change a few security protocol. Is there anything else you can tell me?
Chrissy: No, I can't tell you what I don't know. And Zankou was fairly secretive, probably in case I was captured.
Benjamin: Yeah, he wouldn;t tell you anything you didn't need to know. Very well, a deal's a deal. You may leave, but never come to my kingdom again. Now leave, before I change my mind.
