Thanks again for reviewing.

They'd gone over all the possible angles and it didn't look good. If it had been any other average teen maybe but, Buffy had a police file to long to ignore.

"I'll try to make your record inadmissable but, even without it they do have a case." Cole said flipping through the pages and jotting down a few notes.

"So, that's it you can't beat this?" Buffy asked.

"Oh no, you misunderstood. If, I mean more likely, when your case goes to trail I will win. But, Paige said it was important to get you out today and I'm not sure we can swing that. I'm going to set up a bail hearing but, you are a flight risk and, they haven't formally charged you yet so we have to wait." Cole explained.

"How long?" Buffy asked.

"A day, maybe two." He replied.

"That's not an option. Use your powers." She demanded.

"I can't, I promised Phoebe." Cole replied.

"Who the hell cares." Buffy shouted jumping up and slamming her fist on the table. "You know even if you don't she wont trust you."

"I, I have to try. I love her." Cole replied sadly.

"Well, sometimes love just isn't enough." Buffy began sitting back down. "If you love her you'll do whatever you can to get me out before tomorrow night. If you don't, well you just may lose her anyway."

"Why, What happens tomorrow?" Cole asked concerned. "Maybe I can help..."

"No." Buffy interrupted. "You can't, they can't. It's my fight. In the end it has to be me. If you don't get me out they'll try to fight it for me and they'll lose."

"I, I'll think about it." Cole replied standing to leave. Just as he was about to open the door buffy spoke.

"Just so you know, I'm going to get out tomorrow wether you help me or not. I don't care if I have to beat the shit out of every cop in this station, I'll find a way." Buffy called.

Magic School:

"What do you think is going on?" Chris asked after throwing another useless book down.

"Calm Down, Leo promised to let us know as soon as they do." Piper replied.

"They've been there for hours, it almost eleven o'clock." Chris replied as he began pacing. "I mean how hard can it be to get her out. Leo got me out, why doesn't he just orb her out." He rambled.

"You know why, and quit pacing your making me dizzy." Piper replied.

"Sorry." Chris mumbled flopping down onto a chair.

Police station:

"So?" Paige asked as soon as Cole exited the interrogation room and finished talking to one of the officers.

"She's going to have to spend the night." Cole replied shifting through some paperwork. "We should probably go somewhere else and discuss everything."

"Fine." Phoebe sighed. "Leo go get Piper and..." She trailed off as Sherriton approached them.

"Piper and Who? Miss Haliwell. Chris maybe?" She asked.

"I believe that is none of your business." Phoebe replied turning and walking away.

"Oh well, maybe Miss Summers knows where I can find him, and I will find him." She began.

"Yeah, good luck with that." Paige interrupted as she hurried after Phoebe with Leo and Cole right behind her.

Manor:

"What's going on?" Chris demanded as he, leo and Piper orbed in. "Cole." He said surprised to see the man.

"How do you know Cole?" Phoebe asked confused.

"From the future." Chris replied cryptically.

"Yeah, can't tell us we know." Paige began. "Anyways he's the only lawyer I could find to take the case especially considering the unique situation."

"You could have warned me that she was the Slayer." Cole replied a little angry she'd neglected to share that information. Phoebe burst into laughter.

"What is the big tough indestructible demon afraid of the slayer." She teased.

"No, well I never thought she was real, until tonight." Cole replied.

"If it makes you feel better we didn't know about the whole slayer thing at all until a few days ago." Piper replied taking a seat on the sofa.

"Why should we care if he feels better." Phoebe began.

"Stop," Piper interrupted. "I know you and cole have issues, Hell I have my own with him but, we need him right now."

"What do you mean you didn't think she was real?" Paige asked.

"Well in most demonic circles the slayer is like a myth a bogie man for demons. A way to keep younger demons in line. You know, do what your told or watch out the slayer is gona come get you." Cole explained. (A/n for those who watch Buffy I know this is a total rip off of when Riley finds out Buffy is the slayer.)

"Where's Buffy?" Chris demanded.

"Jail," Cole began. "I can't get her out, not tonight anyway."

"I thought you were a great lawyer." Phoebe said sarcastically.

"I am, but your friend is in a lot more trouble than you guys seem to comprehend." Cole replied.

"She didn't kill anyone." Paige began angry. "You just need to prove that."

"Look, she may be innocent but she has a file longer than most career criminals. I will win the case in trial but, you told me she needs to be released ASAP and that may not happed." Cole explained. "She asked me to use my powers to get her out." he added glancing at Phoebe.

"No, you promised no magic." Phoebe began.

"I know, I told her that." Cole interrupted. "But she told me if I couldn't get her out then she would break out."

"Which will cause a lot of problems not only for her but, for you guys as well." Leo interjected. "I've got to go their calling me." He said orbing out.

"So use your powers and get her out." Chris stated.

"It's not that simple." Phoebe began.

"Yeah, it is." Chris interrupted. "Look I get you hate Cole and don't want him to use his powers to help Buffy, because then you'll have to admit that he's not pure evil but, I don't care about that right now."

"Chris." Paige yelled.

"No, she needs to hear this." Chris continued. "Cole isn't evil, in the future he died saving my life. He's the reason I was able to survive long enough to come back to save Wyatt. Buffy needs his help now and I'm not going to let Phoebe's insecurities about him get us all killed. We could go out tomorrow night and try to fight the master, but we wont win. The only person who can stop him is her. And if she doesn't he'll kill a lot of innocents and that will be all your fault." Chris finished orbing out. They sat stunned going over what Chris had just said.

"Who the hell is he?" Cole asked confused.

"Long story." Piper replied. "But, thank you for saving his life."

"Um your welcome, I think." Cole replied even more confused.
