Chapter Sixteen: Who When And Where
It had recently occurred to both Leo and Piper that this young woman could be hurt emotionally by the demon, and now they saw that it was possible. Paris had shimmered to her room, and had not let anyone in. It had been an hour, and everyone sat at the dinning room table waiting for her to calm down. The clock made a click clock noise in the background counting the seconds, minutes, and hours that Paris had been upstairs. Finally before anyone could take it anymore, Paris had shimmered into the room. She received a huge hug from her mother and aunts.
"I know how much it hurts." Phoebe told her daughter.
Paris smiled weakly. "It hurts, but the strange thing is what hurts the most is that I didn't see it coming. I mean I thought he would know better, ya know me being the sources daughter and all."
"Do you have any idea as to what his plan might be?" Leo asked. He wanted to make sure Neal didn't get the innocent.
"He was there during practice. I know that the innocent must be someone in the senior class. But finding the person's like finding a needle in a hey stack." Paris replied.
"So then we come to school and have a stake out." Piper said. "If the person he wants is there then-"
"He wouldn't attack at the school." Paige replied. "That would risk Paris finding him, and he knows that she can kill him. I mean it would be suicide."
"Well, demons are usually pretty stupid." Seth remarked sarcastically. He received a hard glare from Paris.
"Can you think of anyone he might be after?" Piper asked her niece.
"No, I mean there are thousands of achievers there." Paris sighed.
"We should just go and find him." Phoebe finally entered the conversation.
"Yeah." Paris began to become deep in thought. "I'll go and ask dad. Check the school."
"No I don't think that's the-" Seth was cut of by Paris.
"I'm the source's daughter; no one is stupid enough to mess with me. And if they are, I'll kill 'em." Paris said matter of factly.
"Do you know where to look?" Leo asked her.
"Wait hold up!" Piper held up her hands for the talking to cease. "I don't want you going down there. I don't care if you're Cole's kid, you're my niece. I don't want you getting hurt."
"I can't believe you are going with this Phoebe?!" Paige said loudly, upset at her sister's idea.
"Who said she was going alone!?" Phoebe retorted. "I'm going with her."
"Mom, no I-" Paris was cut off by her mother.
Phoebe looked her dead in the eyes. "You don't think I'd let you go by yourself? I'm not that bad of a mom."
"You're not bad." Paris reassured her.
Phoebe hugged her daughter. "That's why I'm coming along."
"Fine." Paris said defeated.

Paris had shimmered herself and her mother into her father's lair. Cole wasn't there to Phoebe's relief. Paris walked over to the stone in the center of her room. The stone was curved in the bottom and was filled with water. It was a sort of looking glass, except without the glass. Paris looked into it, and stared at her reflection. She heard her mother's footsteps behind her.
"What's that?" Phoebe asked staring at the stone filled with water.
"It allows the source to spy on people." Paris explained. She saw her mother shudder out of the corner of her eye. "Don't worry he doesn't spy on you, usually."
Phoebe smirked. "Thanks."
"WHO'S THERE?" A loud voice roared. Phoebe got into a fighting stance, but Paris shook her head and Phoebe stood normally. A man walked into the room, it was one of Cole's many servants. When he saw the young woman, he quickly bowed.
Paris rolled her eyes. "Get up." The man rose to his feet, and stared at Paris. "Have you seen my father?"
The man nodded, "He went to the law firm a moment ago. You just missed him."
Paris smiled. "Thank you." The man turned to leave. Paris cocked an eyebrow. "Did I say you were dismissed?"
The man stopped dead in his tracks, and Phoebe was surprised by her daughter's remark. "No your highness."
"I have one more question." Paris began, the man turned back to look at her. "Do you know if my father is involved with the new mikros case?"
The man shook his head. "No."
Paris sighed in relief. "You may go." She waved for the man to leave, and when he had shimmered out of the room. Paris grabbed her mother's hand. "Off to the law firm."
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "I don't think-"
"Mom, we need his help to find out who Neal's target is. Play nice okay?" Paris told her.
Phoebe sighed. "Fine." And with that the two shimmered out of the room.

Cole was on the phone talking with a client when he saw his daughter and ex- wife shimmer in. He smiled at them and gestured for them to take a seat, which they did. Phoebe sat down impatiently and crossed her arms over her chest and sat back. Paris put her right leg over the left and sat back in the chair as well. When Cole had finished his conversation, he smiled at his guests, neither smiled back.
He smiled at them and folded his hands. "How may I help you?"
"Neal." Paris cut straight to the point. "Who is his innocent? Where is he?"
Cole arched an eyebrow. "Don't you two go out?"
"We won't as soon as I find him." Paris replied. Cole inwardly smiled to himself. He didn't like the guy, and recently Neal had been acting oddly. He wasn't his 'nice' self, not that demons were nice, but he seemed different.
"I don't know anything about his innocent." Cole replied, and received a glare from Phoebe.
"Then what do you know Cole?" Phoebe asked rudely.
"I know that he has been acting weird." Cole answered.
"Demons are weird." Phoebe retorted.
"No, but he has been acting," Cole searched for a word and all he could find was "more evil than usual."
"Somehow that doesn't sound right coming from you." Phoebe gave Cole an evil glare.
"Listen Phoebe I know you're mad, but-" Cole was interrupted by his daughter.
"Shut up the both of you!" Paris roared. "Right now someone's life is on the line, so if you can stop the petty bickering, and spill the info now."
^^Definitely her mother's daughter. ^^ Cole thought at his daughter's caring for an innocent much like her mom.
"I can find out." Cole told her.
"Alright." Paris nodded. "Go now and found out who, when, and where. When you have that info come over." Paris grabbed her mother's hand, and shimmered out of the room with her mom.
