Chapter 2- The Mirror Meeting
The next day, at the San Fransico Mirrror, the newspaper Phoebe works at, Clark walks in, he has one of those "I'm going to own this place" looks on, he goes over to Elise, editor of the newspaper and Phoebe's boss. Just as Clark reaches Elise, Phoebe comes running in, "Sorry I'm late." Phoebe says in a hurry to her office in an attempt to not hear Elise's scolding. "Hold it right there Halliwell." Elise says with a tone of anger. Phoebe stops dead in her tracks, almost falling over right into her office door, «Darn, I was so close too.» Elise looks at Phoebe with a look that would burn through steel, "And where were you?" Phoebe looks at her, "I was um. . ." Clark then walks over, "She was with me, I met her at the a club last night and told her about me coming here and she offered to give me a ride here since my house is on the way to here from where she lives, she let me get out while she looked for a place to park, so don't blame her for her lateness, blame me." Elise looks at him, "And who might you be?" "I'm Clark, I'm the one who called the other day about the job." he says without seeming to be phased in th least. Phoebe looks at him and mouths "thank you." while Elise is looking at him, "Oh yeah, I'll be with you in a minute, you can wait in my office." Clark looks at Phoebe, then back at Elise, "Ok." Clark goes into Elise's office and Elise looks back at Phoebe, "Your lucky this time, but next time your late, you can kiss your job good bye." Elise goes into her office where Clark is sitting in a chair waiting. Elise sits in her chair and then looks at Clark, "So do you have a resumé?" Clark hands her his resumé, Elise looks it over. "You worked at several other newspapers such as the "Wallstreet Journal", the "New York Times" and the "Williamsport Sun-Gazette", and your a pultizer prize winner, interesting, just one question, why?" Clark looks at her, "Why what?" Elise looks back at him, "Why do you want to work here instead of someplace else?" "I like the city, I have family here and the locals aren't that bad." Clark says with an average voice. "Ok, let me just check your references and if you check out, you can have the job." Clark stands up and moves his hand infront of Elise's face, putting her into a trance, "You will give me the job, and you will also excuse Phoebe's absence, you will start to put more responsibilty on Phoebe since you trust her. Ok?" "Ok" Elise says in a monotone voice. Clark then snaps his fingers taking Elise out of the trance, she shakes Clark's hand, "Congradulations, your hired" she says in a happy voice. "Thanks." Clark says. He then leaves the office, and goes over to Phoebe's he knocks on the door. "Who is it?" Phoebe asks. "It's Clark." he replies. "Come in" she says joyusly,"and thanks for saving me out there." "Your welcome." he says back with a smile. "Is there anything I could do to make it up to you?" she asks. "You could come to a celebratory lunch with me, I got the job." "That's great." she says happily and hugs him, "Oh wait, I have work to do." "Don't worry, you can do it later." Clark says in a reassuring voice, relaxing Phoebe. "Ok." she says with a smile. She walks out of the office and takes her jacket, "I'm finishing at home" pheobe says while leaving, Clark follows with his jacket, «Phase 2, in progress. By the time this is over both her and her sister will be focused on us and nothing else, bringing them into a downward spiral of missery and destroying the power of three.» Both are seen leaving for a lunch, little does Phoebe know that this is just the begining of a night she'll never forget that will cause her to forget everything else.
