Prue insisted that she drive and after a few minutes, Max finally moved over to the passenger seat.
As they were driving along, with Max giving Prue the proper instructions, Prue asked Piper, "So I'm curious. What did you get?"
"I told you, I'll tell you later." Piper replied.
Just then Max's beeper went off.
"It's Original Cindy." Max said to herself. Then she asked the others, "Do any of you have a cellphone."
Piper pulled hers out of her pocket and handed it to Max.
"Thanks." Max told her and dialed.
"Cindy?... Yeah... I'm fine... Ha ha. Very funny... I dunno. Seems like a bitch to me, but what're ya gonna do?... Well, they got their little magic tricks and I got my ass kickin' skills, what more could you want?... Only you would want that Cindy... Listen, I gotta go boo... Something like that... See ya." The sisters listened with interest to the one side of the conversation they heard. Max handed the phone back to Piper and told Prue to turn left.
Max wasn't really listening to Phoebe chattering in the back to Piper, but one word made her tense and whip around. Phoebe had said Manticore...hadn't she?
Max whipped around with wide eyes and asked Phoebe, "What did you say?"
"I was telling Piper about my manicure...jeez." Phoebe said.
Max breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason this mission was making her more nervous and jumpy than usual. It was probably because she was working with three witches.
"That building." Max told Prue. Prue parked the Aztec and they sat for a few minutes.
Max was totally ready, but she thought she would give them some time. She scoped out the area and noticed it was completely clear.
"Are you guys ready?" Max asked.
Prue gave her sisters that Max didn't recognize, but her sisters did. It was Prue's 'there's an innocent and it's important so we've got to do our best' look...the determined one.
They all got out of the car and looked at the building. It was going down...it was happening.
