By the next morning the storm had cleared up, according the whether report it was one of the worst to hit London for many years. The girls were all due in, Sheelagh came in early and was surprised to find Honey in the canteen.
Sheelagh: Hey your in early.
Honey: I never went to sleep last night, I staid up.
Sheelagh: Don't tell me -
She sat down at the table opposite Honey.
Sheelagh: - you, put on a black pointy hat and spent the night flying around Sun Hill on a broomstick.
Honey: The only broom I've ever had was used once a year on Halloween.
Sheelagh: So what were you doing?
Honey: Reading, I went back and got the book out of the property store.
Sheelagh: Honey? I thought we agreed to forget we ever found it.
Honey: No you guys did, I didn't. Are the others in yet?
Sheelagh: No, were you reading aloud?
Honey: No, but I found out something, according to the Book of Shadows, there was Police officer who was a witch named, Malinda Warren.
Sheelagh: Yeah, I think you've been drinking to much coffee again.
Honey: I'm serious. She practiced powers, six different powers, she could move objects with her mind, see into the future, freeze time, blow things up, disappear then reappear and Summon before she was burnt at the steak, she vowed that each generation of female's that would become Police Officers born in a certain year would become witch's,they would become stronger and stronger, culminating into the arrival of six girls,born in the same year, on the same day of different months. Now these girls would be the most powerful witches the world has ever known, there good and I think were those six girls.
Sheelagh: Look I now what happened last night was weird OK, and unexplainable but we are not witches OK, we don't fly are on broom sticks saving people with special powers, presides were not the only female officers in this nick, I mean I can't see, Sam or Debbie, Yvonne, Juliet or Gina being witches, well ... Gina maybes but in the no – magical way, look how many times have we been threw this, there's no such thing as magic. Look its nearly 9'o clock why don't you come help me prepare for the briefing.
Sheelagh got up and started walking to wards the canteen door.
Honey: (calls after her) Were they protecters of the innocent, were known as the "Charmed Ones"!
Sheelagh: Yeah and I'm going to have a red hot love affair with Reg Hollis! Come on.
Honey sighed and got up and followed Sheelagh. An hour and a half later they both entered the briefing room, Des, Reg, Gary, Tony and the girls were already there. Sheelagh went and sat next to Jenny.
Jenny: Hey, what's up?
Sheelagh: Oh nothing, its just Honey's still banging on about the Book of Darkness or what ever its called.
Jenny: Shadows
Sheelagh: Yeah what ever, anyway she's taken it out of the Property store and started to read it.
Jenny: What she done with it?
Sheelagh: You don't feel any different do you?
Jenny: Apart form having a hangover, never better.
Just the Inspector Gold walked in.
Gina: Right you Horrid lot!
Everyone went quit.
Gina: Firstly I have have a memo form the Supt, the new Area car is arriving this afternoon so let's try and make it last the week, secondly I would like to thank Sheelagh and Kerry for working late last night, and also Jennifer, Rebecca, Andrea and Honey for helping them out. Right today's postings: Rebecca and Gary your in Serria 21, Honey and Kerry your in CAD, Andrea, JT is still of sick so you can help out on front desk. Des and Gabriel on 84, Jennifer and Tony are on patrol, and Sheelagh you and Smithy can help out in Custody until this afternoons meeting, OK that's it get out of here.
The was a scramble of chairs as everyone got up.
Jenny: What meeting?
Sheelagh: DCI's attending a conference and he wants some uniform present from the nick.
So everyone went of for the day, and every thing was normal ... but not for long.
Becky and Gary were called to a disturbance a domestic.
Becky: Serria Oscar from Serria Oscar 21, show us dealing.
When they arrived they found the husband and wife, they were shouting at each other. She was shouting about him having and affair, she walked of round the side of the house, the husband followed, Becky was behind him, Gary behind him. The wife was going crazy shouting and crying about him having and affair, the husband was try to tell her it wasn't true when the wife just lost it, she picked up a brick and chucked it at the husband who ducked, so it went for Beck's who could see it coming, she flinched and that's when the first strange thing of the day happened, she had managed to somehow managed to miss it, Gary on the other hand stopped stared at Beck's in shock and got the brick smack in the stomach, and was knocked unconscious.
Honey and Kerry were stuck up in CAD, it hadn't been that bad a morning, Honey had gone out to grabs some coffee's.
Honey: Here you go.
Honey passes her a coffee and sits back down.
Kerry: Cheers
Honey: Any action?
Kerry: Not for the past five minuets, listen hold the fort for five minuets I'm gonna go and get some chocolate from the canteen.
Honey: OK
Kerry left the room, Honey turned in her seat and picked up her head set when something happened, she gasped and could see an image flash threw her mind, from a long way away she could her Kerry.
Kerry: Hey I forgot my purse, Honey, are you OK?
Honey: Em, I think i just had a premonition.
Kerry: A what?
Honey: A premonition, I saw into the future.
Kerry: You've been reading that book again haven't you?
Honey: No seriously, I saw Des and Gabriel in 84 and Gabriel called in for an ambulance.
Kerry: Honey you should really stop reading that thing.
Kerry turned to leave.
Honey: No Kerry, listen I bet you anything, Gabriel's going to call for and ambulance at -
She screwed up her face trying to think.
Honey: 26 West view drive, they have an IC1 female with head injures.
Kerry just shock her hand, her hand was on the door handle when it happened.
Gabriel: Serria Oscar from Serria 84.
Kerry and Honey froze, Kerry turned slowly around and looked at Honey who picked up her head set.
Honey: Go ahead
Gabriel: Ambulance required to number 26 West view drive, we have an IC1 female with serious head injures looks like she's been knocked over.
Honey stared at Kerry who was looking at her in shock.
Honey: Received.
She put her head set down. They stared at each other.
Gary had been taken to hospital, 20 minuets latter he had woken up, Beck's went into the cubical to see if her was all right.
Becky: Hey how you feeling?
Gary: Not bad
He stared at her
Becky: What's up?
Gary: Noting its just, maybe I was seeing things.
Becky: What?
Gary: Well before when Mrs. Walker threw that brick, it should have hit you, because you were behind Mr Walker, but I saw you well at least I think I saw you – you sort of disappeared then two seconds latter reappear in the same spot that's how I got hit.
Becky: Hey come on Gary, haw can you disappear then reappear, maybe you think you saw that I mean you were knocked unconscious. You were just probably seeing things.
Gary: Yeah – yeah your right.
Beck's smiled at him, but her head was spinning.
CAD may have been quiet, but down in Custody it was a completely different matter, there was prisoners coming in every five seconds, the cells were full and the nose of shouting and morning was ear deferring. And Sheelagh was loosing her patents. She looked at Smithy who was behind the counter, and had to scream at him so he could here.
Sheelagh: How much longer have we got to be in here?
Smithy: Only another fifteen minuets.
Sheelagh: Oh great.
As the door from the yard opened for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, she final lost it as a fresh wave of noise entered the room she closed her eyes and threw her file onto the desk making a bang sound
Sheelagh: WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP!
She threw her hands in front of her and the next second there was silence.
Sheelagh: Thank you.
She opened her eyes and stared at Smithy who was standing so still he looked as thought he was a stature.
Sheelagh: Smithy?
She waved a hand in front of Smithy face but nothing happened. He didn't move
Sheelagh: Smithy?
Sheelagh turned around, every signal person standing in Custody had turned into a stature, no one was moving.
Sheelagh: Oh my god.
10 seconds latter they all un froze and carried on screaming and shouting.
Smithy: I'll tell you one thing -
Sheelagh turned to face him.
Smithy: - I'm so glad I'm not in here this afternoon, em are you OK?
Sheelagh: Em what? Oh yeah great em ... have you seen Honey?
Smithy: She's in the canteen, I think.
Sheelagh: Thanks. Em cover for me for five minuets.
Smithy: Wh -?
But Sheelagh had already darted out of Custody. In the canteen, she found Becky, Honey and Kerry in a table in the corner.
Kerry: I don't care what you say we are not witch's
Honey: OK so how do explain my premonition?
Kerry: Lucky guess
Honey: Kerry
Kerry: I'm sorry but I just don't believe that fact that were witch's, hi Sheelagh.
Sheelagh had come up to there table and was staring at them
Kerry: What's up?
Sheelagh: Em you now how before you were reading threw that book. And you were reading the ... em powers
Honey: Yeah
Sheelagh: One of them wasn't freezing by any chance?
Honey: You can freeze time.
Sheelagh sat down at the table.
Kerry: Alright you guys joke over.
Andrea suddenly came up to them and sat down next to Sheelagh, looking scared.
Becky: What's up with you?
Andrea: I've just blown up three sets of boxes files for CID
She put her head in her hands
Sheelagh, Honey and Becky: WHAT!
Andrea looks up.
Andrea: I don't now how it happened is was just sorting out threw the in tray I turned to pick them up and the next thing I new, BOOM!
Honey turned to Kerry.
Honey: Now are you going to believe it.
Kerry: I believe you lot have final lost the plot we do not have special powers, pass the sugar.
But before any of them could the sugar bowl started to move by its se;f towards Kerry and it stopped right in front of her coffee cup.
Honey: Really? That looks quite special to me, this must mean that Jenny can Summon.
Andrea: Summon?
Honey: Bring stuff to her.
She looked at Kerry who was staring at the sugar bowl
Honey: Are you OK?
Kerry: No I am not OK, you've turned me into a witch, you've turned us into witch's!
Honey: We were born witches and now we just have to deal with it.
Becky, Sheelagh and Andrea looked at each other.
