Chapter 12: First Case
Disclaimer: I owe all my allegiances to a Ms. Constance M. Burge.
A/N: Thanx sooo much to everyone who reviewed, keep it coming please!! WinterBlaze: Currently, Cole is just doing the Source's bidding. piperleo4eva: Don't worry, of course I'll have lots more Piper and Leo coming. I just needed Cole to be explained first. Who do you think I am, Kern?
For a second there was just an awkward silence accompanied by a series of uneasy glances: Piper to Leo, Leo to David, David to Piper, and Piper back to Leo. Finally, David spoke.
"Wow. Now I see what you do in your spare time. That looked like a lot more than just acting Holly. I thought we meant more to each other, I thought you were more than that..."
"David," Piper tried to cut in.
"No Holly, don't. Now I see you're nothing more than an easy slut," he finished.
While Piper stood looking utterly shocked at what she had just heard, Leo advanced violently on David.
"You watch your mouth Donaho. No one, and I mean NO ONE speaks to Piper that way."
"Piper?" David began. But his words were cut off with the collision of Leo's fist to his face.
"Leo!" Screamed Piper as she ran over to Leo and stared at her unconscious fiancé. "Nice one," she finished.
"Didn't I tell you I'd always fight for you?" laughed Leo as he wrapped his arms around Piper and flashed another one of his stunning smiles.
Just then Pam, Prue, and Phoebe walked into the dressing room.
"So how did it go with D......" Prue began, but stopped as soon as she saw Pam stumble over something, and looked down to see David on the ground.
"Oh," started Phoebe, "My," continued Prue, "Gosh," finished Pam.
"What the hell happened?" continued Phoebe.
"Well, Leo orbed in behind David and I, then David left after I said Leo and I needed sometime to rehearse a scene. Leo and I started kissing and then David walked back in. He called me a slut....."
"And Leo clocked him!" Phoebe finished Phoebe with a wicked grin on her face.
"'Yes Phoebe, Leo 'clocked' him." Piper said as she and Leo gleamed at each other.
"What kind of nerve does that guy have? I wish I could've knocked him out," commented Prue.
"Now what should we do with him?" asked Pam
"We'll let him come around, then I'll cancel the wedding," said Piper, "I've found the man I really love."
Pam, Prue, and Phoebe smiled as Leo and Piper became lost in each other's eyes.
However, the moment was interrupted by a knock at the door, and a man making his way into the room.
"What the? Never mind, I won't ask," the man concluded.
"Hi Dorian," commented Prue, Piper, and Phoebe, "Or is it Darryl?" Continued Piper.
"It's Darryl. So you finally found me out?" questioned Darryl with a laugh.
"I'm not sure, what did we find out?" asked Phoebe.
"You know, that I'm an undercover cop who Leo wanted to watch over you guys for non-demonic things......Oh crap did I just blow my cover?" Cursed Darryl.
"You're what?" asked Prue.
"How do you know his name's Leo?" asked Pam.
"Who are you?" asked Darryl.
"I'll explain," started Leo, "I told Darryl about everything, the real magic, Pam, The Elders, everything. I just needed him to watch over you guys when I was with other charges since I couldn't sense you until you received your powers. His name really is Darryl Morris; The Elders altered some memories for him. And Darryl, this is Pam," Leo said indicating towards Pam.
"Oh man, I thought all the confusing name switching thingies were over," exclaimed Phoebe as she rubbed her temples.
"Nice to meet you Pam," Darryl said as he extended his hand to Pam. Pam shook it and turned to face the other three girls.
"We have a problem. Or rather you have a problem. There have been three murders in this jurisdiction. All of them have one thing in common: they take place in the alley behind a night club exactly at midnight in a spot directly under the North Star," started Darryl.
"So, couldn't that just be a ritualistic killer?" asked Prue.
"Could be, except for the fact that on each victim, 'The Power of Four Will Fall at the Hand of Innocents' was carved on their backs with this athamae."
