Piper took a sip of the beer. She was really more of a wine person, but hey, alcohol was alcohol, no matter how you spun it.

"Hey, can I talk to you?"

Piper turned around to see Kelly smiling at her. Piper smiled back and nodded, setting her drink on the table. She checked to be sure she had her mace. She was almost sure that Kelly was just a womanizer, and she would use that to her advantage, given the opportunity. And it looked like the prospect had just popped up.

Piper took Kelly's hand and let herself be pulled up the stars. She felt like she was in high school again. All of a sudden, her eyes met Leo's who pursed his lips angrily. Piper looked at sadly, before being pulled into a vacant bedroom.

Kelly pulled her over to the bed where they perched on the edge.

"You seemed a little off earlier, love, and I was wondering if you were missing Jimmy too. I hear he had quite a way with the ladies." For a millisecond Piper decided what kind of story to put on.

"I really do miss him." Piper said, leaning into Kelly's chest. Kelly rubbed her arms.

"Oh, it's alright, 'ole Kelly take care of you. And you can take care of me."

Piper was about to lie and say she didn't understand what he meant when he pulled her up for a kiss. After a long moment, he pulled away and smiled down at her softly.

"Mmm, that was so good, Kelly." Piper said, leaning closer to him. She did have to admit he was a good kisser. But not as good as Leo. Damn, Piper thought, as Kelly kissed her again, stupid criminal.

"Kelly," Piper asked slowly, "why did Jimmy leave? I miss him. He kept me happy and I did the same for him. God, he was good."

"You know he skipped town because of the murders, sweetheart." He smiled. "But I can be good too, wanna see?"

She didn't really, but when he forced her on her back, she wondered if she had a choice. Using her training would blow her cover, and in a way, mace might too. He kissed her on the lips. Just then there was a knock at the door.

Piper sat up. "Oh my God, Kelly, that might be Leo, if he knew we were…he'd blow his fucking top."

Kelly nodded and got off of her. It turned out that she'd been right. It was Leo, who quickly pulled her out.

Leo stalked ahead of Piper into his apartment, letting her shut the door.

"Leo, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear to fucking God you have PMS."

"Shut the fuck up, I don't have to listen to you or to any fucking body, got me risking my friendships over the murders of a couple of bitches anyway, that's all Jimmy would mess around with anyway." He popped a can of beer. "Bitches."

Piper's brown eyes blazed with fury as she followed him back to his room. "I just wanted to know what was wrong. I just asked a goddamn question. If you can believe it, I was concerned."

He walked over to his closet, throwing the door open. "I don't ask you to be concerned." He pulled off his shirt. Piper opened her mouth, but was at a loss for a retaliatory comment. He didn't exactly have rippling muscles, but he was definitely whistle-worthy.

She blinked perplexedly. Leo was erotically aware of the woman's vacant stare. Before she knew what was happening, he was astride her, kissing her lips fiercely. "I don't want you hanging with that dick, Kelly. Fucking ass. For the second time that night, Piper found herself underneath a man.

"Leo, get up." Leo pursed his lips, but obeyed.

"I guess you're gonna stir up more information tomorrow."

Piper sighed, resting her forearm to her forehead. "With any luck."
