"Well, it's been three days," Leo said. "So far Todd hasn't done anything even remotely related to the supernatural. I think Prue is right. I think that spell you used removed his memories as well as his powers. One thing I don't understand. Why did you use a spell? Why didn't you use a power-stripping potion? I know there's one listed in the Book of Shadows."
"We weren't sure it would work," Piper said. "You said a vanquishing potion wouldn't work unless we had a piece of him. We didn't want to take that chance with a potion. We figured a spell would work better."
"I don't think you would have had that problem," Leo said. "A power-stripping potion doesn't work the same was as a vanquishing potion."
"How do you know so much about it?" Phoebe asked. "You're a White Lighter, not a witch."
"I'm supposed to help you," Leo said. "I can't do that unless I know some things about magic. Besides, I've been doing this for a while. You pick up things along the way."
"Well," Prue said, "I guess we don't have to worry about Todd any more. If he doesn't remember anything he certainly can't say anything about it."
"Yeah," Piper said, "but what about his friend in the FBI? Agent Jackman? I wonder how much he knows about all this."
"Probably not a whole lot," Prue said. "Remember, Todd was trying to cover his demonic tracks. It wouldn't be wise for him to give out too much information to anyone. I'll bet he only told this Jackman what he needed to know."
"That make sense," Leo said. "If Todd was wanting to disappear he wouldn't want to leave a trail for anyone to follow. Without his powers he's still a demon under a sentence of death. If someone could find him he wouldn't be able to defend himself."
"So I guess we don't have to worry about this Jackman," Piper said.
"Good," Phoebe said. "At least it's over. It kind of gives me the creeps having a demon asking us for favors. We're supposed to be the good guys. But in the future I'm going to be more careful with the spells I write. No telling what else could happen."
"Always be careful with your spells," Leo said. "Anyway, I need to get going. I do have other things to do. I'll see you later."
Leo orbed out of the manor.
"I wonder what else he has to do?" questioned Piper. "You don't suppose he's married or something, do you?"
"Piper, he's dead," Prue said. "I'm not sure any marriage vows extend beyond that. Besides he's there when we need him."
"Yeah, I guess," said Piper. "Well, it's getting late. I guess I'd better get to the club and get it ready to open. You guys coming by later?"
"Sure," Phoebe said. "We get to sit around all night and have free drinks. And no demons in sight. Sounds like a night to me."
"Okay, okay," said Piper, smiling. "Just remember to go easy on the drinks. Someone has to drive home when you're done."
"Not to worry," Prue said. "I have to work in the morning so I can't overdo it too much."
Piper just laughed and headed for her car.
