Chapter Six: Bugged Manor
After Paris had gone upstairs, Phoebe and Paige sat on the couch and Cole looked at them awkwardly. "Well that was awkward," he said after a couple of minutes.
"You are unbelievable Cole; why can't you just stay out of everyone's business for once in your life?" Paige snapped at him.
"Calm down, Paige. Cole is a part of our family, our business is his," Phoebe said. Paige rolled her eyes and was about to say something else when the doorbell rang. Piper stood up to go and answer it and was surprised by who she saw.
"Leo? Why didn't you just orb?" Piper asked, confused. Leo didn't answer and instead pushed himself past Piper and hurriedly went into the living room.
"Something very bad has happened," Leo stated quickly.
"What are you talking about Leo?" Phoebe asked as Piper walked back into the room.
"Paige. This is very important. Whatever you do, do not orb in or out of this house," Leo said, ignoring Phoebe.
"Leo, stop it, you're scaring me," Piper said to her husband. "Why isn't Paige allowed to orb?"
"Yeah Leo, what's happened?" Paige asked, curious as to why her brother-in-law/whitelighter was acting so weird.
"The Elders believe that a demon, specifically the new Source, has bugged the Manor so that if either me or Paige or anyone else orbs in or out of it, they will be taken to the Underworld," Leo explained with a concerned look on his face.
"How can they even know that? Aren't those things undetectable?" Cole asked.
"Usually, yes. But the Elders have sensed it so just make sure you don't orb out Paige," Leo repeated.
"Okay… but can we get rid of it? Only I like being able to orb to work," Paige answered.
