Phoebe

Phoebe was waiting for Prue to get home so she could use the car when she had a premination. One that had her and Prue and Piper laying in the foyer, dead. Great. Just then an Elder orbed in.

"Hello Phoebe."

Phoebe blinked.

"Piper! Leo!"

Paige: Paige pulled the next file closer to her at her desk and opened it, reading through the next adoption case that she was going to assist with. She had been working at South Bay Social Services since she graduated from college, and she enjoyed working there...but was ready for a promotion to be a full social worker.

Mr. Cohen: "Paige?" he looked down at the young assistant, dedicated...but sometimes unreliable. "Did you finish the Martin paperwork?" he asked, hoping that she'd gotten it finished. The authorities needed the paperwork in an hour, and if it wasn't ready to go there was no gaurantee that it would get in on time.

Paige: "Uhh..yeah, it's on the printer actually, I was waiting for it to finish..." she glanced at her computer and saw that the print icon was gone. "It should be there..." she answered, looking up her boss. She wanted to make a good impression on him because she wanted to help people. She was making a good dent in it all as an assistant, but didn't have nearly as much freedom as she wanted.

Mr. Cohen: "Thank's Paige," he smiled approvingly at her, and left her desk to check the printer.

Paige: Paige sighed lightly, and kept going through the file, reading all about her next case, completley unaware of the mystery and magic that was going to find her soon; her ignorance saving her from dangers she couldn't imagine in her wildest dreams.

Leo

Leo was quietly following one of his charges down a street in San Juan, trying to figure out a way to approach her. She was in danger of never becoming a whitelighter, and it was imperitave that she be put back on the right path. But Leo heard Phoebe's call, and thought it sounded rather urgent. Torn between his charge and the sisters, he finally orbed into the manor, back to the Elder. "What is it, Phoebe?" Leo asked, a bit irritated. "I was in the middle of something with one of my other charges. If it's not really important, I need to get back." He could feel someone behind him now, and his eyes widened nervously before he turned.

"Oh, Caleb," Leo said as he saw the Elder. "Hello. What are you doing here?"

Piper

Piper stood in the attic looking through the book. She heard Phoebe call. What's wrong? Not another demon I hope. We just got the clock fixed. Piper thought. Piper ran down the stairs. "What is it? What's wrong Phoebe?" Piper asked, not noticing the Elder.

Paige: Paige glanced around the office of South Bay Social Services. It was almost lunch time, and she was getting pretty hungry. She decided to take her lunch a little early. The room was seeming to close in around her, and she knew when she started to feel clausterphopic she had to get outisde. She grabbed her purse and headed outside to her car. She smiled at the green beetle as she approached. It was such a cheerful car, it made her smile every time that she saw it.

Paige put the key in the ignition, and pulled out of the parking lot. Humming along with the tune, Paige slowed at the stop light, and then out of the corner of her eye she saw a man push a woman into an alley with a knife. Not knowing what to do, Paige picked up her cell phone and called the police. "Hello? 911?"

Operator: "Yes, what's your emergancy?"

Paige: "Hi, I'm on 7th and Frankford, and I just saw a guy push a woman with a knife...can you get a cop out here quick?" she asked. She couldn't let it just get away. She turned left, and turned in to the alley, still on the phone. She got out of her car, and made sure that it was locked. "Ugh..." she looked down, seeing the garbage that was all over her shoes.

Operator: "Which alley?"

"The one behind the CVS Pharmacy..." she said, looking at the row of buildings connected together on the other side of the street. She looked down the alley again and started walking.

Innocent: "AAHHH! PLEASE NO!"

Paige: "Oh my god!" Paige ran towards the sound, but was too late. She saw the woman slumped against the ally wall. "Get an ambulance here, quick!" Paige yelled in to the phone, and hung up.

Bad Guy: "Oh...so you called the cops already, or was that a bluff?" he asked with a sneer, looking the girl over. "You'll be a great one to add to my collection.

Paige: "I don't think so!" she pulled her pepper spray out of her purse.

Bad Guy: "Haha...that's funny-" he waved his hand, and it flew out of her hand.

Paige: "What...?!" she looked back at him, fear in her eyes now. What had she gotten involved in? "Oh...I..uh..." she started backing up, knowing that her car was only 15 seconds away if she ran...and didn't fall.
