(Something I should have said b4 Andrea's not a Journo)
Smithy: All right that's it of you go.
There was the scraping of chairs, as everyone was leaving the briefing room.
Becky: Hey are you OK?
Andrea turned to look at her, she had been acting weird all morning, plus the previous night.
Andrea: Yep
Becky: Really?
Andrea: No
She turned to look at her.
Andrea: Me and Neil broke up.
Becky: What why? I thought you to had sorted things out.
Andrea: We did but – uh!
She put her head in her hands in frustration.
Becky: All right come on.
She grabbed Andrea's hand.
Andrea: Were are we going
Becky: Coffee come on.
As she dragged Andrea down the corridor, Sheelagh was coming out of the room as June was coming up the corridor.
June: Sheelagh, there's some sort of a leakage in the custody corridor.
Sheelagh: Again?
June: Um hum, anyway the Borough Commander visiting today and the Supt wants it dealt with.
Sheelagh: Right I'll call a handyman
As June disappeared down on corridor Sheelagh did another.
Andrea: I just, I couldn't do it anymore I couldn't keep lying to him.
She and Becky were sitting in the canteen in there normally seats over to cups of coffee
Becky: About being a witch?
Andrea: Yeah, he knows I'm hiding something and I want more then anything to tell him but I can't, and I don't think I'll ever be able to.
Becky: He might be all right with it.
Andrea: You think?
She looked at her incredulously
Andrea: Our lives are already complicated enough, I can hardly make it any easier by saying ''Oh by the way Neil I'm a witch.''
she took a deep breath and put her head in her hands.
Andrea: Why is my life so complicated?
Becky was saved from answering this, as Honey came up to them.
Honey: Have you guys looked in the paper to day?
Becky: No why?
Honey: I wanted to now if there was anything in there about last nights murder?
Andrea: Nothing of any use.
They both looked at her
Andrea: I checked it this morning
Honey: How am I suppose to figure out who the girl in my vision is?
Andrea: Well, what did she look like?
Honey: Well, she was about 5' 3", hair was lightish.
Becky: That's it?
Honey: It's not on video tape. I can't just rewind it. Hey, you should ask the DI?
Andrea's heart lept as Honey looked at her, did she now?
Andrea: What?
Honey: Well, if I can't find her, then I have to find the killer before he gets to her.
Andrea: Well, have you checked the Book of Shadows? From the way you described your vision that sounds like it could be demonic.
Honey: Yeah, but for all we know, CID's already hot on his trail. You have to go and ask the DI and find out.
Andrea: Why me? And why the DI?
Honey: Well your always up there and the DI likes you.
Becky glances at Andrea
Andrea: what do you mean the DI likes me?
Honey: Well he usual shots at everyone, but I've never seen him do it at you, actually I think he likes you.
Andrea: Honey don't be ridiculous he's married
Honey: Still
Andrea: No
Becky: Okay, then how about I go see the DI and you
She looked at Andrea
Becky: Look in the Book Of Shadows.
Andrea: Eh ...
Honey: Andrea, I had this vision for a reason. I'm supposed to save her, I know it and I have to find her.
Andrea sat in the property store, the book on her lap skimming the pages, looking for, she didn't no what.
Andrea: (to herself) I don't even know what I'm looking for.
She closes the book and sticks it back on the shelve as she heads towards the door, The book flys on the floor opened up on a truth spell page, Andrea stops and walks back over to the book and picks it up
Andrea: The Truth Spell.
She turns to a different page, The page turns back to the truth spell automatically.
Andrea: What the ... ?
She shuts the book again and leaves it on the shelf, the book opens back up to the spell.
A knock on her office door made Sheelagh jump
Sheelagh: Come in.
She looked up as on of the girls from the canteen came in
Sheelagh: Hey, Tanya.
Tanya: I though you looked like you could do with one of these
She held up a cup of coffee
Sheelagh: You're a good woman.
Tanya: Bye.
As she left she bumped into Jenny who was coming into the office
Jenny: Hey Tanya
Tanya: Hey
Jenny closed the door behind herself
Jenny: Can I borrow your laptop? I need to do some surfing on the web, Honey wants me to see if I can find anything about the burns on the victims forehead. What?
Sheelagh was looking at her with a grin
Sheelagh: Nothing. I just never thought of you being computer friendly, and haven't you got CPS reports to catch up on.
Jenny: Are you kidding? Chat rooms saved my life oh and I've already done my CPS notes, did them yesterday.
She hands Jenny her laptop.
Sheelagh: Did any of you's find anything in the Book Of Shadows?
Jenny: Uh, I'm not sure, I think Andrea was going to look in it
Sheelagh: How's it going?
Jenny: Not sure, we need to find out who that girl is in Honey premonition other wise
She shrugged her shoulders.
Jenny: Thank you for the laptop
Andrea was out on foot with Tony but all threw the day her mind had been with the Book, and the truth spell. If she cast it and told Neil what she was he might accept it, and she could tell him for real and they could be together. On the other hand, she could not cast it, not tell him and the pair would be un happy for the rest of there life's. She was still thinking about it at the end of her shift she was sat in the locker room everyone else in the nick had gone, she was total alone when she came to a sudden decision, slamming her locker door shut.
Andrea: OK you win.
She walked to the property store closing the door shut as she sat starring at the spell, un be known to her that Becky and Sheelagh were coming into the empty station threw custody.
Becky: I'm telling you I'll only be two minutes I left it in my locker
Andrea: "For those who want the truth revealed, open hearts and secrets unsealed, from now until it's now again, after which the memories end."
Sheelagh: Two minutes, yeah right
Becky: I guess you didn't talk to the boss.
Sheelagh: Of course I did, just like I said I would. (They walk into the locker room) Am I getting a zit on my chin?
Becky looks at her
Becky: Can't even see it.
Andrea: "Those who are now in this place, will hear the truth from others mouths."
Sheelagh: You really can't see it?
Becky looks out of her locker and at her
Becky: Are you kidding? It looks like that thing has a life of its own. So you really told the Inspector, huh?
Sheelagh: No, I lied. I chickened out.
They look at each other.
Meanwhile Andrea placed the book back on the shelve and took out her phone, she called Neil's number but was put threw to his voice mail
Neil's voice: " This is Neil Manson, please leave a message''
Andrea: Hi, Neil, it's-it's um, Andrea I was wondering if - could you just call me please, soon ... within the next twenty-four hours. I need to talk to you about something so, um, just call okay, all right, um, tonight would be fine too. Okay, bye.
On the other side of London a young A lab technician was working late, when a voice behind him made him jump
Gavin: Excuse me. Are you Mr. Pearson? Alex Pearson?
Alex: Yeah, yeah, can I help you?
Gavin: In so many ways. Working late tonight aren't you?
Alex: Uh, yeah. I work better at night and the soil samples are just right for the bindora planteau.
Gavin: Ahh, Zimbabwe. Their crops have been over run by disease for decades. Well, your work will put an end to that. Let's hope that's the reality.
Alex: Are you from the foundation? They usually don't check up on us this late.
Gavin: Oh, no, no. But I have studied your work and I know what it will lead to.
Alex: My work, you mean the lab's. I'm really just the technician.
Gavin: For now. But someday, someday you will help me find the vaccine.
Alex: The vaccine? For what? Who are you? What do you want?
Gavin: Your future.
Alex is backed into a corner, Gavin holds him against it when a hole opens up in Gavin's forehead.
Alex: God, what is it?
Alex screams as a hole is burned in Alex's forehead with a laser beam, causing Alex's eyes to turn white, and Gavin let go, as Alex feel to the floor dead.
