In the book….

Paige and Kyle had managed to get out the shop without being noticed and Kyle had found a phone book and had also discovered where the Mullen brothers were staying.

The two stood outside the Mullen brothers office and Paige suddenly realised something. "They're dicks."

Kyle frowned, "That's kinda harsh. You haven't even met them yet."

"No! They're detectives! I reckon they wrote the book and made themselves heroes!" Paige gave the door a knock before the two of them walked in.

Inside stood a boy no older than themselves. Sat on a chair behind the desk was a slightly older plump guy. The two looked up when Paige and Kyle walked in.

"I thought you said you didn't know the newcomers Eddie?" The plump guy said glaring at Eddie.

Eddie shook his head, "I don't, I've never seen them before in my life!"

"Your Eddie?" Kyle asked surprised.

"Yeah, you got a problem with that!" Eddie turned to face Kyle.

"No!" Paige said quickly, "We just expected someone a little older."

"You like older toots? Why don't ya take a gander my way." The guy said suggestively.

"Hey! Why don't you go gander somewhere else buddy!" Kyle growled stepping in front of Paige. "Who are you anyway?"

"They call me Johnny, Johnny the Gent." Johnny tapped his hat up slightly. "You don't happen to know where it is do ya?"

"Maybe we do, maybe we don't, that's between us and Eddie. We have some business to discuss." Paige looked straight into Eddie's eyes. "We read your book."

Eddie's eyes widened, "Umm Johnny I better find out what these guys want I'll uh, call you later."

Johnny nodded and left. "Alright but I'll be seeing you later."

As the door shut Eddie sighed, "In all the books, in all the library's in the world, you had to get sucked into mine."

Real world….

"Ok, Piper you help Paige and if anything happens call me on my cell. Phoebe, see what you can find a spell in the book that will help us." Prue ordered as she grabbed her bag, "Me and Leo are going to go and talk to the brothers mom."

Leo orbed himself and Prue out and Phoebe looked worriedly at Piper, "Do you think Paige's is going to be ok?"

"Of course she is." Piper smiled reassuringly at Phoebe. "It's Paige, you know what she's like."

Piper read the book quietly as it wrote itself when the line, 'Paige and the fed had no idea that Eddie was leading them straight into a trap' She gasped, "He set them up?"

"What do you expect it's called crossed and double crossed?" Phoebe sat by Piper and put her head in her hands. "Try and stop them."

In the book…

Paige sat in between Eddie and Kyle as they drove along in the car. "So, why did you only just get this tip off about the falcon thingy everyone's after."

Eddie shrugged, "Your arrival must have moved the story along. I mean after Dan's death the story must sort of froze."

"Was that your brother?" Kyle asked.

Eddie just nodded. After a moment he muttered, "Crooked cops, ya know."

Suddenly there was a pooping noise and the car came to a dead stop.

"A flat tyre?" Eddie asked himself disbelievingly.

"What you can't get flat tyre's in your stor…" Paige began but Eddie cut her off.

"It's too cliché, who'd write that in?" Eddie jumped out of the car and Paige and Kyle jumped out after him when they were surrounded by police and Johnny.

"Eddie? What's going on?" Paige watched as the police took out there guns and pointed them at herself and Kyle.

"I'm really sorry to do this to you. But this story can never end."

The real world…

Prue and Leo sat in the kitchen of the Mullen household. Mrs Mullen came out holding some glasses of lemonade. She set them down on the table and smiled at Prue, "So what can I do for you?"

"Well, we were hoping if you could tell us something about your sons, see my sister found their book and…."

"Ah, that book. They spent hours on it. Never told me anything about it." Mrs Mullen sighed, "I wonder where it is. After they disappeared it too vanished."

"Do you think Eddie killed Dan?" Prue asked carefully.

Mrs Mullen shook her head. "No, Eddie loved him to much. It was weird, they had their disagreements but they were inseparable. Do you have any siblings?"

Prue nodded and Mrs Mullen continued, "Then you understand how they were together. They'd never hurt each other. Never."

Mrs Mullen paused and then took out a picture of Dan and Eddie. "The book was Dan's idea. He wanted to help Eddie. To be more self-confident."

"To be a hero." Prue summed up.

Mrs Mullen smiled slightly, "Probably."

In the book…

Paige sat in a room inside the police station. In the next room she could hear Kyle being beaten up and she had no idea what to do.

A cop sat on the desk in front of her placed a hand on her shoulder, "Look sweetheart, unless you want the fed to end up with a bullet in your ear your going to tell me where the falcon is."

Paige pushed his hand off, "Get your paws off of me!"

The cop raised an eyebrow and leaned back on the desk and asked "So tell me, what's a cute little package like you doing mixed up with that no-good Fed in there?"

Real world….

Phoebe grabbed the pen off Piper and began scribbling in the book.

"What are you writing?" Piper asked curiously.

"She needs to flirt with him, you remember the films Grams used to make us watch."

In the book…

Paige was about to answer him when he stood up and said, "Come on, sister, don't you know how to play the game?"

"Sister?" Paige then realised what she had to do.

"You're a little heartbreaker, aren't you? A regular femme fatale. I bet…" Before he could finish what he was saying Paige stood up and stalked towards him.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm just crazy. Crazy for cops. Tough cops. Kind of cops that'll arrest your heart. Make you long for a life sentence with them." Paige grabbed his tie and pulled her towards him, "Do you know any cops like that?"

In the next room another cop had been hitting Kyle with the baton for a while now and was getting fed up. "We can keep this up all night if you like. But if you can tell me where the falcon is and I'll end it quick."

He pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Kyle, "Is that supposed to be a choice?"

Suddenly the door flew open and Paige barged in holding a gun. When the cop looked up at her Kyle kicked him in the shin and then on the back of the head, knocking him out.

"You ok?" She asked helping Kyle stand up.

Kyle shrugged, "I'll live, come on we have to help Eddie."

Kyle began to pull Paige out the room but she stopped him. "Save Eddie? He tried to get us killed."

"No, well ok yeah but didn't you hear what he said. He said sorry. Bad guys don't say sorry!" Kyle tried to explain.

Real world…

Prue and Leo orbed into the attic and Prue collapsed into the chair next to Piper. "Mrs Mullen didn't know anything. Only that she's sure Eddie didn't kill Dan."

"well Eddie just set Kyle and Paige up and now they're arguing about what the should do." Piper said exasperated resting her head on the table.

"I think I know what to do." Prue said taking the book. "Mrs Mullen said that the book was a way of making Dan more self-confident. A hero."

"We think that if Eddie proves himself to be a hero and finds the falcon then that will be the end." Leo explained.

"So how do we make him do that?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, that's up to Paige."

In the book….

Paige led the way along an ally with Kyle following behind. "Your going the wrong way! Eddie's office is back there."

Paige stopped and spun to face Kyle, "We're not saving him, he tried to kill us! I know he could be in pain from his brothers death but when my mom died my sister never tried to hurt anybody…"

"I did." Kyle said, a serious glint in his eyes that seemed to turn his usual friendly grey eyes darker. "Why do you think I would move here when I have family that lived just down the street from my old house?"

Paige didn't know what to say and after a slight pause Kyle continued. "Anybody who tried to get close to me I pushed away, made them hate me. And I did it because I thought I wasn't worthy of being helped. Maybe Eddie feels the same way."

Kyle had been holding Paige's gaze the whole time he spoke let his head drop down and sat on ledge.. "I know how Eddie feels and he hasn't done anything that bad yet so maybe we can still help him."

Paige put a hand on Kyle's shoulder and sat next to him. "How do we do that?"

"Well, maybe if we find out who killed Eddie's brother and make Eddie see that it wasn't his fault then he'll end the story."

Paige noticed that Kyle had avoided showing her his face and she had a feeling he was either in tears or close to it. "I thought that those cops killed his brother."

Kyle shook his head, "No, it's classic noir. That's just a red herring. If the cops did it, they would've just beaten Eddie until he told them where the falcon was but they're still looking for it."

Kyle jumped up and began pacing in front of Paige, thinking hard. "I think Johnny the Gent got Eddie to set us up. He's playing Eddie. But what Eddie doesn't know is that Johnny is the one that killed his brother."

"So it was the gangsters." Paige concluded. A thought suddenly popped into her head. "I think when Eddie finds the falcon then the story would be over but I reckon he already knows where it is. We have to find him."

As Paige and Kyle entered the dark office Paige saw a figure sitting in the chair behind the desk. "Eddie?"

The light switched on only to reveal Johnny. "Sorry to disappoint you." When kyle drew out the gun he frowned, "Drop it."

"Where's Eddie." Kyle asked determined.

"I sent him out to look for the two of you. I heard you got away from the cops. Too bad you're not gonna get away from me." before Paige and Kyle could do anything Johnny pulled out a gun and shot Kyle.

"Kyle!" Paige screamed dropping to his side.

"Forget about him sweetie. His numbers up." Johnny said smirking.

"Look we just want to get out of here that's all I swear!" Paige begged.

"I'm sorry but if I want to get the falcon out of Eddie. I can't leave any loose ends hanging about. Now listen, in a couple of minutes it's gonna be over for your friend over there. But you, you're a knockout. Please, don't make me waste a bullet on you." Johnny stood up and put his finger on the trigger aiming it at Paige.

Before Paige could say anything else the door opened and Eddie came in looking shocked, "What the…"

"Eddie, I didn't expect you so soon. They came looking to get even for you setting them up." Johnny lied.

"That's not true. He killed my friend in cold blood, just like he killed your brother." Paige prayed that Eddie would believe him.

"She's lying! You know those cops killed your brother!" Johnny stepped towards Eddie who stepped away from him, unsure who to trust.

"That's not true. You didn't see it, did you, Eddie? It's just a story that Johnny's been telling you. Don't you see, he's been playing you. He tried to force Dan into giving him the falcon but he wouldn't give it up. So now he's trying to charm you out of it."

"That's it." He pointed the gun at Paige. "Say goodnight, Gracie." He pulls the trigger but there are no bullets in the gun. "What the hell?"

Paige smiled, "Thanks but I could really do with a flashback!"

Real World….

"She wants a flashback!" Piper turned to her sisters.

"Why?" Phoebe inquired.

"To prove that Johnny killed Dan." Prue took the pen and the book and read aloud what she wrote. "Then Eddie found out how Dan really died. It was as if it was happening all over again."

In the book….

Eddie suddenly heard his brothers voice from behind him. He turned and saw Johnny push Dan up against a wall.

"No. You can't kill me. I made you." Dan's voice was filled with panic.

Johnny punched him in the stomach and threw him to the floor. "I know you found the falcon, Danny. Where is it!"

When Dan never answered Johnny took out his gun and shot him. "oh well, I'll get it out your brother."

"You're not gonna believe that, are you, kid? It's some kind of smoking mirrors trick. It's a pictures show!" Johnny's voice brought Eddie back to the real world and he turned to face his 'friend'.

Paige jumped slightly when Kyle grabbed her hand. He smiled slightly at her then said quietly, "Go save your innocent."

Paige gave his hand a small squeeze then jumped up and turned to Eddie. "you have to stop punishing yourself. This is not your fault. Your brother would not want you to live this way as if you were in some kind of prison. He would want you to grow up, to live your life, to become part of the real world."

As Eddie thought this over sirens filled the street outside. Johnny grabbed Paige and wrapped his hands around her neck. "That's it. You give me the falcon now or I will break her neck."

"Don't hurt her!" Eddie said walking over to the wall. "I'll give you the falcon."

He took a picture off the wall and opened the safe that was hidden behind it. He pulled out the falcon and Johnny threw Paige onto the floor beside Kyle. "Where did you find it?"

Eddie shrugged, "It doesn't matter. All that matters is no one else dies because of it."

Without saying anything else Eddie dropped it and as pieces of it went flying everything went black and Paige found herself in the attic. In colour.

She looked up at her sisters. "Hey."

Leo hurried to Kyle's side and healed him. Kyle sat up and smiled at Paige. "Hey your in colour."

"Where are we?" Eddie asked confused.

"in the real world." Piper said kindly. " Story's over. You're a hero. Your brother would be very proud of you."

"Now let's get you home. Leo could you orb him home?" Prue asked.

Leo and Eddie orbed out and Phoebe suddenly remembered the book. She picked it up and smiled as the words 'and the Halliwell sisters' appeared after by the Mullen brothers. "Hey we're novelists."

Later...

Paige walked Kyle across the road and the two stood outside his front door.

"Well we didn't get to do our French assignment." Kyle sighed.

Paige shrugged, "Maybe you could come over and we can do it tomorrow."

Kyle nodded. There was a silence between the two and then Paige decided to say something that had been playing on her mind since their discussion in the alley. "Kyle, I know you must be really upset about your parents and everything but I…. I want you to know that if you ever need anything I'm here and…"

Before she could finish Kyle wrapped his arms around her and pulled her towards him. He leant forward and kissed her passionately on the lips and Paige felt all those butterflies appear in her stomach again.

Neither of them realised that the door had opened and Glen had stepped out.
