Stella Huff was sitting at her desk finishing up some paperwork from her last case. She was pleased with the way it had ended, with her finding the little boy and reuniting him with his mother. She brushed her blond hair back behind her ears and smiled. Suddenly she sensed someone coming up the hallway toward her office. The person knocked on the door and she called, "Come in!" She stared at the very cute guy who walked through her door as she stood up and extended her hand.
"My name's Stella! How can I help you?" Chris smiled at Stella and shook her hand.
"My name's Chris! This may sound strange, but I need help finding someone. The problem is, I don't know the person I want to find. All I know is, she needs my help."
Stella said, "Please, have a seat. How do you know that this woman needs your help?" "I keep having dreams where I'm underground in a cave. I see this woman and she can't reach me, but she knows my name and begs me to help her. I try to get to her, but I can't, then I wake up. I drew a picture of her the last time hoping it would jog my memory, but I don't know her!" He slid a picture over to Stella, who studied it carefully.
"She's beautiful! Do you know what color her hair or eyes are?" she asked.
Chris replied, "I think her hair's brown, I'm not sure about her eyes. Do you think you can help me?" Stella said, "I can definetly try! It sounds like either a repressed memory is trying to come out, or someone's trying to reach you in your dreams. Let me see what I can find out, I'll do some snooping around. You said in your dreams you're in a cave? That sounds like the Underworld. Do you know any demons?"
Chris said, "Well, my last name is Halliwell. My brother's Wyatt, and I'm one of the sons of Piper Halliwell, so I've grown up fighting demons. Do you think this woman could be a demon?"
he asked. Stella said, "Could be, I'm not sure! I'll do some asking around, I have contacts in the Underworld. I'll see if they know this woman." Chris smiled. "Thank you Stella! I have a question. Aren't you afraid of people knowing you're a witch? I assume you are, right?"
Stella nodded. "Yes, I'm a witch. I'm really not afraid, most people accept me for who I am, and if others have a problem with it, then they don't ask for my help." She grinned shyly at Chris.
"I admire the Halliwell family, they're so brave and they've helped so many people over the years! I heard about you and Wyatt too, it must be cool to be a part of such a great family! Chris blushed.
"It's okay, I worry about my brother sometimes. Anyway, I should go, but let me give you my number so you can reach me with any questions or news." Writing it down, he handed it to her, touching her hand briefly. He looked into her blue eyes and saw warmth and joy. "Thank you, Stella! I hope you can find out who the woman is." Stella had to turn her eyes away before she got lost in his green eyes.
"Of course, I'll call you the minute I find out anything." Chris left and Stella sat down, still thinking of Chris. "Snap out of it, what if this woman ends up being his girlfriend? I've got to get to work!"
She started out by visiting her demonic contacts, showing them the picture Chris had given her. Everyone seemed unwilling to identify the woman, but she could sense that they knew who she was. Finally Brandon, a celerity demon, gave her some information. "You can't tell anyone I told you this! I don't know her name, but she was brought down here two days ago and locked in a remote part of the Underworld. The demons who brought her mentioned the name Wyatt." Brandon pushed Stella away. "I've told you too much already, get out of here before you get hurt!" He smoke-orbed out and Stella orbed back to the surface. "That's strange, Chris's brother's name is Wyatt!" She went back to her office and looked up Wyatt Halliwell on the internet. "He has his own company, reputed to be a front for criminal activity! I think I need to ask Chris more about his brother!" she thought.
