Chapter 11

OoO 'Big Man' And The New Discoveries OoO

Leo sighed as he put the phone down.

He just got a very unpleasant phone call from an anonymous guy.

His chair suddenly felt uncomfortable as he ran the words through his head;

"Watch out, Wyatt." That was the only thing the unnamed man said.

He never liked when his job interfered with his life, and in this case it seemed like that was just what was happening.

Lately he has been working on a confidential case that he was asked to look through by an old colleague working for the police in LA, and just a month ago he went over there and got in a nasty situation.

He was caught in some shooting and most the shooters got away, but he knew the 'Big Man' who was popping in many cases over the last three years was still out there, and he is doing everything to get those files from the police, files that are in some gibberish language, but must contain something important enough for the 'Big Man' to be so desperate to get them.

Looking at his watch, he saw it was just a little over two, and decided to try and think of something else. He will figure this mass out after he has something to eat.

Leo got up from his chair, and headed out of his office to go and see if Piper was interested in a quick lunch.

Mmm. Piper.

Last night was enchanting.

She stayed at his house the whole knight, and they got really cozy- not just physically.

Of course there was no sex; it was none of Leo's intentions.

He wanted to get to know her, to make her interested in him- he didn't want her as a sex partner.

They watched a movie and laughed and talked all night, until both fell asleep on the couch.

When he walked out of his office he saw two women close to Piper's age talking to her, looking somewhat alike.

Her sisters, he remembered.

­---OoO---

Two minutes after her sisters bounced into the place Leo came out of his office.

"Hi." She hurried to say, which shut Phoebe's rambling up.

"Hi." His deeper voice echoed.

The two sisters turned around to look at him.

Piper saw Phoebe's eyes looking at him up and down.

"Helloooo there..." Prue greeted, smiling, and Piper smacked her hand.

"Prue and Phoebe, isn't it?" Leo asked, shaking each one of their hands at a time.

"That's right. It's nice to finally meet you." Phoebe said, and Piper would have smacked her too if she wasn't so far from her reach.

"Finally, ha?" Leo smiled, looking directly at Piper who felt herself blush uncontrollably.

This wasn't like her, Piper never blushed.

Phoebe blushed; even Prue blushed, but Piper... never.

"I'm sorry, Leo, did you need something?" Piper asked, remembering they were at work.

"Not really, I thought we would go out for lunch but I guess we'll leave that for another day.

"You can come with us." Prue said, and at the same time Piper said, "We'll go another day."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Piper decided she was going to kill her sisters when this was over.

"Great! So Leo is coming." Phoebe announced, making it official.

Piper wanted to protest, but the next thing she knew the four were out in a fast food place, finishing their salads.

Leo was telling something to Phoebe after she asked him how was it to be a detective, but Piper wasn't listening.

She was looking as his lips were moving, curving into a smile here and there, and remembered last night.

Though she didn't need his lips to remember that...

They were on a couch snuggled together, feeding each other with doughnuts (which surprisingly, was very romantic).

At three thirty, her sisters finally took off, and the two returned to the busy day of work.

---OoO---

As soon as Leo walked back to his office a file on his desk caught his attention.

He opened it up and was surprised to see a picture of Nathan, Piper's ex, and some information about his past.

He picked the phone up and asked Piper to call James into his office.

"What's this?" Leo asked as soon as James was in the office.

"Surprise surprise..." James said, taking a seat opposite from his older brother.

"Don't tell me he has something to do with the LA case." Leo begged.

He was really not up to it, especially not after the little call he got earlier and tried to ignore but knew he couldn't.

"That's right bro. Coincidence? I think not." James said, sounding like a geek out of a movie.

James explained Leo that Nathan was in LA the very same time that Leo was, and was seen by a couple of police man around the place where they kept the files the 'Big Man' was longing for.

"This case is getting ridiculous." Leo frowned, reading about some of Nathan's past.

Nothing seemed suspicious, from the file he seemed like your every day kind of a guy.

Except the part that said that he used to know about five men who are now rotting in jail.

"Also, it's funny the connection he has with Piper." James said.

"James, please don't make this a soap opera. How exactly is Piper connected?"

"Apart from the fact that she is our new head suspect's ex? Well, the fact that she is working for us now, and I am pretty damn sure they know that we are on the case and that we were after the 'Big Man' for..."

"...three years, I know." Leo said, finding himself considering this thought himself.

Piper? No way.

No, she couldn't be a spy or anything of the kind, there were just too many things going for her.

Like the whole Nathan episode on the second day she was there. If she was working with him to find some information at Wyatt Investigations, he wouldn't have been so set on getting her back to work for him.

"Of course, I'm really not seeing Ms. Halliwell here as a hit woman or anything of the kind, but I still think there is a connection." James said, and sounded serious.

Leo considered this.

Things with this case were getting more and more complicated as more information came in.

"Another thing." James said, and Leo drew his attention back to his brother.

"I was looking through some of the cases we were working on a little over three years ago, and came across Piper's name. And guess who was also involved? The Famous Luke MacMartin. But the thing that made me look deeper was that this was the first case in which we ever came across the 'Big Man' in." James said.

Leo processed the information, and then asked;

"Why was Piper mentioned in that case?"

"Well, there was the car accident that killed Luke, and she was one of the names mentioned to be in that accident, along with other people in the cars that ended up crushing into Luke's car. I don't know, there is something behind this, I just can't put my finger on it."

He had to talk to her, Leo decided. He would bring it up sometime in the next few days.

"I'll talk to her." Leo said aloud.

"Good. Just keep in mind that you can't give out too much." James said.

"Look deeper into this. Call the LA station, talk to Darryl Morris, he is the one who asked me to look into the case because of our past with investigating the 'Big Man'." Leo told his brother.

James nodded.

"Get Ms. Dobbs on the case too, maybe even Mr. Girdy. I know Raymond is already looking into this, but get him to look deeper. This might be our chance to finish off the 'Big Man'; I wanna see what is in those writings he wants so badly." Leo said, rubbing his chin.

"Very well, Sherlock." James mocked.

"Not funny anymore." Leo said, and straightening up in his chair.

"You really like this girl, don't you?" James asked.

"How can you not?"

"Fair enough. You want me to do some investigation on her too?"

"No. That wouldn't be fair, I'll talk to her myself, I'm sure Piper has nothing to hide."

Leo told James about the little 'threat' on the phone he got that morning, but it wasn't news. They were getting quite a few of those lately.

At seven that day, Leo walked out of his office to find Piper at her desk, finishing a report for one of the minor cases.

"Hey." He said.

"Oh, hi. Listen, I'm sorry about today with my sisters, they can get very pushy. They tend to stick their noses where they don't belong." Piper said calmly.

"No worries, you sisters are great, almost as good as you." He said, smiling.

"Do you use these cheesy comments on everyone?" She asked, like he expected her to.

"No. I just like to hear what you'd snap back." His smile grew.

"Snap? Is that what is sounds like?"

"No, I'm just being an asshole." He said.

"Ok." She said calmly, and went back to typing.

"You know, you are very different from you sisters." He said, getting back to that subgect.

"In what way is that?"

"I'm not sure. You are more... sophisticated, not naive- not that your sisters are, but you are definably something. I don't think I've ever met a woman like you." He said.

"Are you saying I am cold?" She asked looking slightly taken aback.

"Not at all, you are just right when people deserve it."

"And you think you deserve it?" She asked, an obvious smile curving her lips.

"All men think they do."

A few minutes later he left after telling her she should head home too.

He will have to talk to her, he had the nagging feeling that she might be a help.

She was somehow connected to Luke MacMartin's death, and he knew 'Big Man' was behind it. She worked and dated one of their newly discovered suspects, and now she was working for them.

But he brushed that out of his head, remembering the past two nights they have spent together, and a smile covered his face.

She was special, he thought again, and he was sticking to this one.

AN: I wanted to bring the whole 'Big Man' and his connection to Piper's husband Luke before, but I couldn't find the right time. So here it is! Confused? Ask and I'll explain.
