"Killed him?" questioned Phoebe as Leo knelt down to check Todd. "How could that have happened? The spell wasn't designed to kill him. It should have only stripped his powers. What do you think happened?"
"He's not dead," Leo said, standing up. "He's unconscious right now but his pulse is strong. I'm not sure what happened but you didn't kill him."
"Oh, thank goodness," Piper said. "What do you suppose caused that reaction?"
"I'm not sure," Leo said. "It would seem your spell had some unintentional side affect."
"Side affect?" questioned Phoebe. "What side affect? Nothing like this ever happened before."
"Magic can be unpredictable," Leo said. "You guys are relatively new to it. That's one of the reasons there's the whole no magic for personal gain thing. If something unexpected happened there's no telling what the repercussions could be."
"What do we do?" asked Piper. "We can't just leave him there."
"Let's move him to the sofa," Leo said. "I'm not sure how long he'll be out but there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage."
Phoebe helped Leo move Todd to the sofa. Leo checked the Inspectors' pulse again just to be sure. It still seemed to be strong and steady. Piper said she was going to get Todd some water for when he came to. Before she could move, Todd began to groan.
"What happened?" Todd said, looking up at the four. "The last thing I remember was asking Prue some questions."
"Oh, uh," Prue said, not sure exactly what to say, "you, uh, seemed to have fainted. How do you feel?"
"I guess I'm okay," Todd said. "Guess I shouldn't have skipped lunch today. My blood sugar must have dropped suddenly."
"I guess so," Piper said. "What do you remember?"
"Well," Todd said, "I came here to finish up the report on Inspector Trudeau's death. I remember asking a few questions and the next thing I know I'm waking up on your sofa."
"Huh," said Prue. "Anything else?"
"No," Todd said. "Why? Was there something else?"
"What about," began Piper.
"You mentioned you had no leads in Andy's death," Prue said, cutting her sister off.
"No, I'm afraid not," Todd said. "It would have helped if you had gotten a better look at his assailant. I will stay on this case but I'm afraid with what we have it doesn't look good."
"I understand," Prue said. "I know you'll do your best."
"Well," Todd said, "I guess that's all I need then. Again, I'm terribly sorry to have to put you through this. I know how hard this must be on you."
"That's okay," Prue said. "Having dated a policeman I understand some things a little better than a lot of people do."
"I appreciate that," Todd said, standing up. He then noticed the open briefcase on the coffee table. "I have one just like that. I see you use yours as much as I do."
"Yes," Prue said. "It seems I'm always taking my work home with me."
"I know the feeling," Todd said. "Well, Miss Halliwell, thank you for your time. I can see myself out."
"My pleasure," Prue said.
"What happened?" Phoebe asked after Todd had left. "He acted like he didn't know we had just stripped his powers from him."
"I don't think he did," Prue said. "I think the spell did more than strip his powers from him. I think it also stripped any memory that he was a demon. Which means he wouldn't remember anything about us aside from our connection to Andy."
"I'll keep an eye on him for a day or two," Leo said. "Just to make sure this isn't some kind of trick."
"Good idea," Piper said. "In the mean time, I think I'm going to get rid of all this stuff."
She picked up the files Todd had brought with him and headed to the fireplace to start a fire.
