Paige and a disgruntled Piper orb into the toilets where Paige's recent
battle took place. Paige starts looking around carefully
"Paige! What are you doing?"
"Looking for blood, bits of limbs, possibly a CSI chalk circle"
"Found anything?"
"Nah. Either she's still alive or they have really good cleaners here" She looks at Piper carefully then adds, "So what was all that between you and Leo, shouldn't you two be all second honeymooney about now?"
"No."
"No what? No as in No you shouldn't be second honeymooney?"
"No as in No, we are not going to talk about this" she continues before Paige can argue, "What we are going to discuss is our battle plan. Do we have one?"
"Well I thought that we could start with Ann, my boss, she's really creepy and as far as I can see she is a one woman misery factory. Can you do that freezing only innocents thing?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well if she freezes we make our excuses and leave, if she doesn't..."
"I blow her up. Good plan".
"I thought so; quick, final and doesn't require us to get the grandfather clock repaired afterwards".
They set off towards Ann's office
"Piper?.."
"Still not talking about it"
They continue in silence. When they reach Paige's open plan office the drinking woman is gone, but Paige is somewhat taken aback to see Janice. Janice is sat with her back to them, frantically looking through files and muttering to herself. Paige grabs her sister's arm, whispering, "Piper, it's her"
Piper looks round "Who? Evil Demon Boss Lady?"
"No, the woman who attacked me" then under her breath "the woman I tried to kill"
Just then, Janice looks around; she has dried blood on her face and the start of a black eye. Her blouse is missing most of its buttons and has been badly repaired with staples. She looks wild and on noticing Paige she starts screeching, "Keep away from me. I will call the police. Help! Help! I am being attacked! Fire! FIRE!
Paige makes a move towards her, desperate to shut Janice up. "Piper freezer her"
"I can't. Someone might come in" Piper pulls Paige back, then starts pushing her towards the corridor. "Go! Just go! I will sort this out." Walking towards the woman Piper croons, "Sh, its ok, everything is ok"
Whatever it is Piper is doing appears to work and Paige, pacing impatiently in the corridor, can no longer hear them. "Way to go Paige. That was incredibly stealthy. There are no demons that will see you coming". She kicks the wall in disgust, and then hops in pain. Totally preoccupied, she nearly orbs out in fright when a hand touches her shoulder.
"Paige, are you ok?"
To Paige's horror she sees Ann. Paige hurriedly steps back trying to place as much distance as possible between them. "FINE, FINE ANN. I AM JUST SHOWING MY SISTER AROUND. SHE SHOULD BE HERE NOW"
Ann looks amused "Is there something wrong with your ears, you appear to be shouting"
"Now that you mention it I have a little inner ear problem. I WISH MY SISTER WHERE HERE, SHE IS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING MY BOSS"
"Oh, I think we both know that you are being a little disingenuous there, Paige, although I must say I am very interested in meeting her"
Paige turns around wildly looking for Piper, turning back as the sound of humming hits her ears. Seeing the demon swarm upon her she opens her mouth to shout for Piper, but chokes as the demons begin to flow down her throat. Then silence.
The black mass is frozen. Completely freaked and choking, Paige grabs at her neck, gagging as she coughs up demon bits. She can feel Piper patting her back and she moves away furious with her for not being there sooner. Finally able to talk she flings the last of the demons in her mouth against the window and snarls at Piper "Where the hell where you? I was shouting for you"
"I heard you. I came running" Piper puts her arms around Paige, scraping of Demons as she does. "Why didn't you orb out?"
Paige stares at her. "I don't know. I just couldn't move. I couldn't think. I just knew I was going to die" Paige looks around and shudders. "Ok they have to go now!" and with a gesture of her hand she calls out "Scary, ugly, nasty, repulsive, so going to die, horrible black demony bits" and they swirl together in a concentrated block before Piper blows them to oblivion.
Piper looks enquiringly at Paige "Home?"
"Home" and they orb out.
As they go, a single tiny black demon flutters back through the window from where Paige had flung it. Its wing is mangled and it flops helpless and gasping to the floor.
"Paige! What are you doing?"
"Looking for blood, bits of limbs, possibly a CSI chalk circle"
"Found anything?"
"Nah. Either she's still alive or they have really good cleaners here" She looks at Piper carefully then adds, "So what was all that between you and Leo, shouldn't you two be all second honeymooney about now?"
