Darryl walked down the alley behind Cobra. The blue and red lights from the top of the cop cars were creating a strobe light affect on the ground and the walls of the surrounding buildings. The first cop on the scene had already handcuffed Todd, who was now sitting in the back of a cruiser. When Darryl walked by, he heard Todd talking about the devil.
Cole was leaning up against the fence playing with a gold necklace he had in his hand. Darryl walked up and extended his hand. "Good job Turner."
Cole accepted the handshake. "I'm just glad he will be off the streets, and won't be able to harm anyone else. There is just one problem Darryl."
"What's that?" Darryl said, lowering his voice and looking around.
"I lost my temper when I saw that guy, I couldn't help it." Cole said.
"What did you do?" Darryl asked, his voice barely a whisper.
"Well, lets just say I didn't drag the guy back here through a club full of people." Cole told Darryl.
"You orbed him?" Darryl asked, his eye's narrowing.
"Technically, no. Orbing is for white lighters. I shimmered him out here."
"Ok, is that all?" Darryl asked.
"I almost hit him with an energy ball" Cole confessed.
"Damn it!" Darryl yelled.
"He's lucky I didn't kill him. I didn't want Piper to think of me as a demon anymore. That bastard deserves to burn in hell for what he did to her, and god knows who else." Cole yelled back.
Darryl looked around to make sure no one was listening. "Okay. Calm down. I'll think of something. I don't know what yet. The guy is over there now talking about the devil."
"If he wants to meet the devil, it can be arranged." Cole said, glaring towards Todd.
"Easy Turner. There'll be no introductions tonight. " Darryl said. "What's that anyways?" he asked, pointing towards the necklace in Cole's hand.
"It's nothing." Cole said, putting it in his pocket. Cole didn't want Darryl to take it as evidence. It was Piper's, and he wanted to give it back to her. He had found it behind the trash can, while he was waiting on the cops to show up.
"Come on Turner, let's go. I gotta figure out how to clean your mess up." Darryl said.
"Are you sure this is going to work Turner?" Darryl asked as they sat in his car outside the San Francisco police department.
'Positive Morris. He won't be permanently injured, he'll get a taste of his own medicine, and nobody will believe what he said about me." Cole responded.
"Let's go then, I want to get this over with." Darryl said, running his hand over his head.
'What's a matter, don't you trust me?" Cole asked him.
"Yeah, I do. That's what's scarring me." Darryl said.
"Let's go partner" Cole answered.
Darryl grabbed a bottle of water from the shopping bag behind the seat. Cole took out the pill he had stolen from the evidence bag at the scene of Todd's arrest. He dropped the pill in the water, watching it dissolve.
"Remember" Darryl said. "Give me fifteen minutes to let the drugs kick in."
"Yes sir!" Cole answered.
Darryl got out of his car. He slipped the water bottle into his briefcase. He was nervous as hell. He hopped this worked.
They had Todd set up in the integration room when Darryl came in. "He's all ready for you Det. Morris" the young deputy said.
Darryl left his briefcase on the table outside the door as he went in. The door shut behind him. He hated integration rooms. They were always so dark and depressing. Luckily, they had just brought in a guy accused of murdering his girlfriend's pimp, and they had him in the integration room with mirrors. Nobody was looking in at Todd's room.
"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Darryl asked Todd.
Todd nodded. Darryl left the room. He went to his briefcase and pulled out the bottle of water. He looked around and saw nobody was paying any attention to him.
He walked back in the room. "They didn't have any coffee made. I brought you a bottle of water instead." he handed the bottle to Todd.
Todd took the cap off and drank half the bottle in one long gulp. Darryl sat down, he had to give the drugs a chance to kick in.
"Tell me what happened in the alley first Todd" Darryl said.
Todd's voice was very shaky as he spoke up. "It was the devil man. I swear! He transported me out there somehow, and he had fire in his hand. I looked in his eyes man, he looked evil, like he wanted to kill me. I was soo…." Todd's voice broke off as the drugs started to kick in. He started shaking and looked up at Darryl, his eyes full of realization.
Darryl jumped up and locked the door just as Cole shimmered in. Cole grabbed Todd by the shirt and slammed him against the wall.
"How does it feel to be drugged and defenseless? How does it feel to be terrified beyond belief with no way to help yourself? You can't do anything but moan?" Cole hissed as Todd started crying.
"Easy Turner" Darryl warned from the corner.
" I know, just call Paige, let's get this over with" Cole sneered, still holding a whimpering Todd against the wall.
Darryl got his phone out and dialed Paige's cell. "We are ready" he said when she answered.
A moment later blue twinkles appeared as Paige orbed in. She walked over to where Cole had Todd pinned to the wall. "So this is the bastard" she said.
Paige walked in front of him. "very pathetic" she said. Paige turned around like she was going to walk away, but instead she spun back around and shoved her knee into Todd's groin.
He fall down to the ground holding himself and crying. Darryl raised his eyebrows at Paige, who shrugged back.
"The spell Paige!" Cole said.
"Oh right" she said, digging a piece of paper from her pocket. She stood in front of Todd and read her spell in a clear loud voice.
"Let the demon's action
Become a subtraction
From the memory and face
And in it's place
You will remember your crime
And confess on time."
Blue lights twinkled over Todd as Paige finished reading. Cole winced when Paige read "Let the demon's actions"
Paige noticed. "Sorry Cole, I had to come up with something fast." she said.
'It's okay Paige. Darryl, do you have it from here? We need to get out of here before he wakes up" Cole said.
"Go! I've got it" Darryl answered. Cole shimmered out and went back to his penthouse Paige orbed out and when back to the manor.
Darryl's official report tomorrow would read that one Todd Mathew Bonanno had accidentally drugged his own drink while attempting to drug a girl. The toxicology tests on his blood would support the statement, showing traces of the drug still in his system. His ramblings about the devil would be chalked up to the drugs, and Todd wouldn't remember anything else.
