Paige sighed. "You guys aren't going to be too happy. But we have a Charmed Ones duty to perform in England. Henry is there waiting for us."
"But the Angel of Destiny told us that we are no longer the Charmed Ones!" Piper said a little sharply. She held Chris closer to her trying to protect her baby boy.
"The Elders are obeying that." Leo said quickly. After the final battle with the top evil focus the Elder's deemed it necessary to make Leo a white lighter once more. But his only charges were his family. "Do you want me to go up there and see if the Elder's know anything about this?"
"There's no need and no time Leo. It's not your typical Charmed Ones crises. I orbed Henry to England by mistake; but now I see that it wasn't a mistake." Paige said. "We had to walk and run in the down pour of sheeting rain till we reached Wentworth Towers; but it's really a castle. We meet the owner Charles Wentworth and he's a mortal who believes in magic and knows how to use it."
Phoebe raised her eye brows on this note.
"The story takes place in 1942. See Mr. Rupert Body had invited six guest; Mr. Wesley Green, Professor Edward Plum, Colonel Andrew Mustard, Miss. Hannah Scarlet, Mrs. Nina White and Mrs. Julia Peacock. Their was a butler, cook, and a maid who were only attending to the house for that stay. To make a long story short their were a total of six murders and no one knows who killed whom and with what. Also among the murder victims which included Mr. Body, the maid, the cook were also a police officer, a cab driver, and a signing dancing messenger."
"The man wants us to play Clue?" Piper snorted through her nose. She felt Chris wiggle in her arms. She lowered her face and smiled down at her worried son.
Chris knew that his mother wasn't mad at anyone so he didn't fear the fear that he normally did when he heard his mother's hard voice.
"No. Let me continue shall I?" Paige sighed.
"Go on." Piper and Phoebe said in union.
"The game of Clue is set around this mysterious mast murder. He knew that Parker Brothers ™ had placed the characters in New England. But the true facts of the cases had happened right here in his very house." Paige continued to repeat word for word what Charles had told her and Henry. "Charles needs the Charmed Ones to discover what truly happened that dark and stormy night."
"Why us?" Phoebe asked now totally wrapped up in the story that her younger sister was telling them. "Can't the police do anything?"
"The six murder suspects are haunting his mansion. Every night they come to life. They keep him up at night and beg him to solve this case. As a mere mortal Charles can not do this. But he knew that the Charmed Ones can." Paige finally finished retelling what Charles had told her and Henry. She waited for her sisters to reply.
"What does Henry have to say about this?" Coop asked folding his arms.
"Henry will do what ever we decided to do. Only thing is Charles had made an anti orbing position so I couldn't orb Henry and I out of England." Paige sighed.
"Than how did you orb back here?" Leo questioned holding Wyatt a little tighter to him as he stepped closer to his wife and baby son.
"I knew Charles was telling the truth and I trust him. I told him that if he tossed the antidote to allow me to orb back here I'll bring Piper and Phoebe back with me and we will solve the mystery." Paige said. "Charles only allowed me to come because he figured that once Henry and I left we wouldn't come back."
"He guessed right!" Piper softly said looking into her baby ½ sister's eyes.
"At first that was what I planned to do. But I looked deeply into Charles eyes and saw the true desperation in them and knew that I couldn't let the man go on suffering as he has been." Paige said.
"Oh and Charles had done some major reach on us and he knows what our powers are and what we do with them." Paige softly said.
"Great." Phoebe rolled her eyes heaven ward.
"Why can't we just have a normal life!" Piper groaned all ready knowing that the Halliwell sisters were be orbing to England to solve a long dead unsolved mystery.
"So the plan is who should the boys stay with?" Coop said.
"I wish dad was still in town? I don't feel comfortable leaving my sons with anyone else. Not even Darryl and Shelia. Wyatt can protect him and Chris with his force field but it's just to mean to ask Darryl and Shelia to have to come up with a way to protect themselves and their son against a demon attack." Piper sighed. "We finally got Darryl back in our lives I don't want to cause him to turn his back on us again."
"What about up there?" Leo asked. "Oh magic school."
"No." Piper firmly shook her head. She looked over at Wyatt in his father's arms and than down at her son. "I know the Elder's weren't hurt my sons; but after Gideon; I can't bring myself to feel comfortable having my sons up there among them again."
"What about summoning Grams or mom?" Phoebe asked. "They would protect the boys and if they get killed they won't stay dead."
"No." Piper said with a firm shake of her head. "Way to much of a risk. I won't risk it."
"They can come with us." Paige softly said. "That way they will be with us and we know that they will be safe. Leo, Henry and Coop can keep an eye on them while we are busy solving this case."
Piper nodded. "Ok."
"Let's go pack everyone. We'll meet back here say in an hour?" Phoebe touched Coop's hand.
"One hour. " Leo said with a nod.
Coop orbed him and Phoebe back to the apartment where they quickly packed what they would need for a cold and wet England trip. They orbed back into the manor's living room after a hours time and waited for the other's to join them.
Paige helped Leo with the his families luggage after she had brought down her and Henry's luggage. "Ready to go."
"How are going to do this?" Coop asked.
"Everyone is going to have some contact with me; seeing how I know where exactly to orb." Paige said.
Piper and Phoebe touched their sister's shoulders and their husbands touched their shoulders while holding onto Wyatt and Chris.
"Here we go." Paige said softly and orbed them out of the Halliwell manor and a moment later arrived back into the cozy living room at Wentworth Towers.
"It's nice to meet you finally Piper and Phoebe. I have heard so much about the Charmed Ones in the past few years that I just knew that I had the right sisters to help rid my home from these nightly vistors." Charles jumped to his feet and walked over to shake hands with the very suddened older sisters of Paige.
