Phoebe pulled a book off the shelf and looked at the cover. Finally, she had found the book she had been looking for. She hadn't realized how much trouble researching this paper for her psych class was going to be. After he little performance with her professor while she was infected with lust, she was having to jump through hoops to maintain her ascertain it had all been an experiment.
He had been thoroughly impressed with Phoebes' "willingness" to go to such extremes for a project. And to help bring up her overall grade, he had offered her the chance to expand on her original paper. Now, she was stuck in the school library doing research.
"Hey," whispered Leo, sticking his head around the corner of the book stack, "how's it going?"
"Fine," she whispered back. "I thought you were off helping another one of your charges?"
"I am," said Leo. "He's here, too. Doing research just like you. I figured since I was so close, I'd just drop over and say hi."
"Well, I'm glad you did," said Phoebe. "This paper is driving me crazy. I should never have agreed to do it."
"Well, you wanted the better grade," said Leo, smiling.
"Yeah, yeah, I know," said Phoebe. "I'll just be glad when I'm finished. This is more work than I had bargained for."
"Good luck," said Leo. "Tell Piper I should be home for dinner. I'm almost finished here."
"Will do," said Phoebe.
Leo left and Phoebe went back to her research. She needed five specific books and all were hard to find. She had already found three and was determined not to leave the library until she found the other two.
It took her nearly half an hour to find the remaining two books. But she finally had everything she needed. Now, a few hours looking up quotes and such, some time actually typing her paper, and it would all be over.
She was sure her professor would like the paper. And it would help bring her g.p.a. up, which she desperately needed. Fighting demons invariably interfered with her study time and that affected her grades.
Phoebe said hello to several classmates as she left the library with her armload of books. Apparently she wasn't the only one doing homework on a Saturday afternoon. As she neared the library exit, she noticed a group of people gathering outside.
"Wonder what's going on?" said Phoebe out loud.
"Some guy got hit by a truck," said another student. "They aren't sure if he's going to make it."
Phoebe moved outside and joined the gathering throng. An ambulance was already there and the paramedics were busy treating a man lying on the ground. The police were talking to another student nearby.
"It seems that one was crossing the street when the truck driver lost control," Phoebe overheard one student telling another. "The guy who got hurt just came out of nowhere and pushed him out of the way, but didn't get out of the way in time himself."
"That's a shame," said the other student. "He saves the guys life and may die himself for it. Doesn't seem fair somehow."
"To bad Leo isn't here," thought Phoebe. "He could heal the guy in an instant."
She watched as the police consoled the student. Just before she started to head for the car, she glanced over at the man who had been hit by the truck. She watched in horror as the paramedics loaded an unconscious Leo into the back of the ambulance.
