Chapter Three
Phoebe walked into the manor to see everyone bustling about as if something was wrong. "What's going on?" She asked, hoping to get an answer out of anyone who passed her.
"There's a price on Chris's head." Leo said as he walked past, carrying the skrying board.
Phoebe gave a surprised look. "Price? What kind of price?"
"A demonic one." Chris said as he walked past, carrying the book of shadows.
"a demonic one?" She asked as she grabbed Piper's arm so someone would look at her. "What does he mean by that?"
"There's another power struggle in the underworld. And Chris is the key to getting to the top." Piper explained.
"Why Chris?"
"That's what we're trying to find out." Paige said, setting down the crystals for the cage.
"Why didn't anyone call me about this?"
"We can handle it, Phoebe. You have work to do." Piper said.
"Work can wait! Now, will someone please fill me in?"
Paige let out a long sigh and decided to explain everything to her sister, before she exploded.
Kira Brooks walked into the San Francisco Police Department. She had been researching the Halliwell family, from which one name made her curious. Daryl Morris.
She walked up to his desk, a pad and pen in hand. "Detective Morris?" She asked.
He looked up at her and smiled. "Can I help you?"
"My name is Kira Brooks… I believe we spoke on the phone."
He nodded as he remembered who she was. "Yes, please sit down. So, what can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you could give me some information. I've been doing some research on a local family and I noticed that your name came up as a close, personal friend." She said as she took a seat across from him.
"And which family might this be?" he asked, afraid of what she might say.
"The Halliwell sisters."
That was exactly what he didn't want to hear. "The Halliwell sisters? Well, I'm not as close as your might think. We've sort of have a falling out, I guess you could say."
"That a pity. I was hoping that you could answer a few questions about them and their strange behavior."
He swallowed hard. He had figured that this day would come, but he just couldn't reveal all that he knew about them. No matter how angry he was at them, he wouldn't do it. "I don't understand what you men." He said.
"I believe that you do, Detective." She said as she looked at him with positive eyes. He felt like a daze was washing over him as he looked into the green void of her eyes. "No, tell me everything you know about the Halliwell sisters."
He gulped loudly and took a breath before the words began to pour out of his mouth, uncontrollably. He couldn't stop himself as he revealed everything that he knew.
