TEASER
FADE-IN
INT. SF Police Department - Day
[It's mid-day afternoon in downtown San Francisco and Darryl is leading Piper, Phoebe, and Paige through a crowded and busy police station. As they weave their way through the crowd Darryl hurriedly leads them into his office and shuts the door behind them for privacy.]
CUT-TO:
INT. SF Police Department - Darryl's Office - Day
Piper: So Darryl what's up? [Turns and watches Darryl walk to his desk and then faces the girls again] You said you needed our help with something important over the phone.
Darryl: Uh yeah. I need your help on this case to track a killer. One that I think may be...you know... [Waits a beat] "Demonic".
Phoebe: Sure, but what makes you think the killer's a demon?
[Darryl turns towards his desk and picks up a small plastic bag containing an athame. Lifting it in the air, he shows it to the sisters.]
Darryl: This was found near the last victim's body. The victim was also involved in the occult.
Paige [realization dawns on her]: So she was a witch.
Piper: Which means our killer is a warlock.
Paige [joking]: So much for that demon hiatus we had all through summer.
[Phoebe smirks at the comment, and then returns her attention to Darryl an idea forming in her head on how she can help out with the case.]
Phoebe: Darryl why don't you let us take the athame home, [begins to sound hopeful] maybe I can get a premonition off of it.
[Darryl nods his head in understanding as he hands Phoebe the bag. Phoebe takes it and places it inside of her purse carefully.]
Darryl: I'm going to need that back before the end of the day.
Phoebe: Okay, no problem.
Piper: Well let's go home and get to work. [To Darryl] We'll call you if we find out anything.
Darryl: All right. You girls be careful.
[Paige nods and leads the way out of Darryl's office. She opens the door and as she goes to step out of the room she almost bumps into a taller man, in his mid-twenties with brunette hair, who is about to knock on the door before entering.]
Matthew: Oh I'm sorry miss, are you all right?
Paige: Um yeah [smiles coyly] I'm fine...
Matthew: Officer Johnson. [Smiles back at Paige] Matthew Johnson.
Paige [continues to smile]: Well it's nice to meet you Officer Johnson.
[Matthew smiles at Paige, and slowly directs his attention towards Darryl.]
Matthew: Um I'm sorry Inspector Morris, am I interrupting something?
Darryl: No we're done here. Uh, ladies this is my new partner Inspector Johnson. [He says introducing him to the sisters, then sternly] I'll talk to you girls later.
[Piper understands Darryl's actions, and she nods and moves forward.]
Piper: Right. Let's go.
