Part Three
The limousine pulled up outside a factory, Marsden and his lawyer stepped out. "It's gonna look suspicious seeing a limo outside an old factory, take it away and we'll call you when you're needed." The lawyer informed the driver; the man nodded and drove away.
"I know a copula guys that'll take care of Turner, but what we gonna about the cop?" Marsden asked as they entered the factory.
As they walked, the lawyer changed form - he was Mr. Black. "There's not much your contacts can do, Turner's a demon."
In the basement of the factory, the hourglass was reaching a climax. Darryl had taken advantage of the whole in the wall, it lead to a dingy sewer tunnel where he was still searching for a way out.
Meanwhile, the chauffeur from the limousine was still driving when Cole appeared next to him. Before the driver had time to panic, he was knocked out. Cole turned the limousine back in the direction of the factory.
Marsden and the two demons sat in the factory office, planning their next step. "Combining our strengths might not even be enough to destroy Belthazor; you saw what little affect our energy bolts had on him. He easily rivals our powers." Mr. White told his demon colleague.
"Stop pacing about, you're making me nervous. Maybe we could cut a deal with the Charmed ones, the cop alive and well if they vanquish Belthazor."
"No, the Charmed ones are not even aware we exist, best to keep it that way for now."
"Maybe we don't have to figure out a way to kill him. We could simply... Take his powers." Marsden informed the demons, with a sly smile. He stood up and faced the demons, "Think about it, he's a powerful guy. I could absorb the hallow, then when he uses his powers on me and they're mine."
"We'd never be able to gain access to that sort of power, and besides the demonic factions would kill us for just mentioning the name, it's out of the question." Mr. White told him, as he walked out of the office. "I'm gonna see if the Cop's gonna drop the case."
"Just kill him." Mr. Black shouted.
"What a good idea, and then the Charmed ones hunt us dow- Wait... That's it! We plant the dead cop in Belthazor's office, the Charmed ones find out where he was and they kill Belthazor!" Mr. White shimmered in to the basement, only to see Darryl had gone.
"Black, Quick!" He shouted, summoning his demonic colleague.
"I forgot to seal the wall, he's escaped through the tunnels!" The two demons headed for the sewer tunnels, splitting up and covering a tunnel each.
Cole entered the office where Marsden was, waving his hand once in front of his face as he now spoke "Sir, I have some bad news..." As Marsden looked at him, he was under the impression it was his chauffeur.
"What is it?" Marsden asked, looking a little surprised to his chauffeur back. "How did you get in without my knowing?"
Before his eyes, the limo driver seemed to changed back to the familiar face of Cole, "Your drivers gone. The police are on their way, how worse can it get?" He said with a smile.
"Well, in that case Mr. Turner – You're in real trouble. You kidnapped me, killed my diver and kidnapped the Judge." Marsden wasn't in the least surprised to see Cole; he'd half expected him to show up. "Nice try by the way." He told him rather smugly.
Cole turned to see Judge Finnigan standing before him. "Your powers are useless now Belthazor, a little stipulation of my own, I magically blocked this factory. Only I can use my power now." He blinked twice and sent Cole smashing through the door window. "I'll also make sure I magically protect your cell, you'll rot like a mortal." He followed Cole over to the door and kicked him across the room.
Cole, barely making it to his feet, stumbled over to a door – locked. He repeatedly thrusted himself in to it as the Judge came near. "Allow me." He said making Cole fly through the door with just a wave of the hand. He fell down a load of stairs, landing hard on the floor, the room around him began to spin and eventually he lost consciousness.
