::Unlocking the door, the landlord scratches his crotch and ambles inside.::

"Now, like all penthouses, and places in here, there are no stairs. I cannot express that enough. No stairs, dammit!"

::He slaps the keys into Patience's hand, squeezes her arse, and hurries off chuckling gleefully.::

::Patience ghasps at the landlord's action and turns around to slap him...however he was already out the door. Filled with rage and feniminism she walks out into the Hallway.::

::Patience walks in and leaves the door unlocked.::

(If Carys decides to come here then I don't want to lock her out or anything.)

::Patience throws her purse down onto the couch and walks to her bedroom as she pulls her shirt over her head and tosses it on to the floor.::

(I might as well take a shower.)

::Patience shuts her bedroom door and fully strips. She rushes to the bathroom and turns the knobs to the shower on. She then turns to take two towels out of the cabinent and lays them down next to the shower. She puts out one foot into the shower to test its temperature. Satisfied she bounces into the shower, washes her hair, grabbs a bath puff and places lavender bath gel on to the center, lathers it up and begins to wash herself and sing.::

"So fresh and so clean clean..."

::Once finished she leaps out of the shower and grabbs for the towles. She wrapps herself up in one and turbans the other around her head. She then glides to her bedroom and opens up the closet.::

"Lets see...what should I wear?"

::Patience pulls out a tight black dress that has a red vine going down the side and tries it on.::

(OOOOO...I love this!)

::She then snatches up a pair of red strappy heals and sits down on the bed to put them on. Once she is no longer bearfooted she walks into the bathroom. She stops at the mirror and snatches up some hair gel off the counter. She places a small amount into her palm and bends her head over. She rubbs both her hands together so she distributes the gel equaly and begins to scrunch her hair into curls. She pulls her head up and checks herself in the mirror.::

"I like it...its juts missing something..."

::Patience looks around and spots an open red flower in a vase. She walks over to it and plucks off the top and a bit of its stem. She takes a bobby pin and fixes it to the right side of her hair just above her ear. She walks back to the mirror and decides that she likes how it looks.::

"Perfect."

::She walks into the living room and snatches up her purse. She then heads for the hallway.

::Patience walks in and throws her purse on the couch and puts her keys on the counter as she walks into her bedroom.::

"Man theses shoes hurt me feet...I guess Lirie was right."

::Patience fully strips and snatches a tight white t-shirt, a pair of bluejeans, and some very comfortable looking tennis shoes out of her closet. She quickly puts them on and then takes a pony tail holder off of her vanity and pulls her hair into a high ponytail.::

(Ahhhh...much better)

::Patience runs into the kitchen and hurridly fixes herself a sandwitch and a glass of milk. She takes a bite of the sandwitch and a gulp of milk as she walks over to the telephone stand. She takes out the complimetary map that she had noticed earlier. She spreads it out on the kitchen counter and pauses for a moment.::

"Now where did I put that...ahah!"

::Patience rushes to the couch and fingers the rosequartz crystal she had bought. She takes off her necklace chain and clasps it to the crystal so that it will swing. She takes it over to the map and pauses.::

(So lets see...I guess I should scry for...evil...hopefuly that will work)

::Patience lowers the crystal close to the map and starts to slowly pull it around, hoping it will show her the location an evil being.::

(I guess it didn't work)

::Patience sighs dissappointed.::

"I need to clear my mind and the best place to do that would be the beach."

::Patience snatches up her purse and the athamae she had just bought and walks to the door. She goes out into the hallway.

::Patience walks in and locks the door behind her. She throws her puse on the couch like always and heads for her bedroom.::

(Must...have...sleep)

::Patience unbuttons her jeans and tosses them to the side. She then unmakes the bed and crawls inbetween the sheets.::

"Ahhh"

::She quietly breathes out as she pulls the covers up over her head and falls asleep::

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

::Patience screams as she wakes up ghasping for breath and her heart pounding on her ribs as if it was trying to escape.::

(Damn nightmares.)

::Patience pushes the covers off of herself and bounds to the kitchen where she fixes herself a glass of water and gulps it down greedily.::

(Oh man...what a day...no wonder I'm having nightmares...I need to calm down...I'm going back to the beach...and maybe this time I will be able to relax damit!!!)

::Patience slipps on her jeans and a pair of flip flops, she grabs her puse, and then walks for the door.::

"Surely Carys and that guy won't be there...especialy if they were going to do what I think they were..."

::Patience opens the door and steps out into the hallway.

::Patience walks in and slams the door shut. She locks it behind herself and strides to her bedroom. She removes her body of her jeans and pulls back the covers of her bed. She lies down and is alseep quickly.::

::Theo leans close to the door and begins to knock hoping Patience is inside.::

(Anybody home...?)

::He steps back and waits for an answer.::

::Patience hear's Theo's voice through the door and manages a muffled response.::

"I...I'll be right there."

::Patience kicks off the covers and grumbles abit. She throws on a pair of cotton shorts and heads for the door.::

"Coming!"

::Patience turns the lock and opens the door to find Theo on the other side.::

(Now he comes to check up on me.)

"Um...Hey...Come on in"

::Theo smiles at Patience.::

"Thanks."

::Theo walks in and looks around. Eyeing the bedroom Theo turns his gaze upon Patience.::

"I- I like your shorts. Anyway I'm so sorry. I just left the hospital I thought you were still there. I left the hospital to check my place and look at a book. I was reading and sort of fell asleep... I really planned on being back."

::He smiles slightly and looks at the bedroom once more this time a little too obvious.::

(Hmm......)

::Patience eyes Theo as he enters and begins to explain.::

(Aww he felt bad.)

::Patience's demenor changes as she gives him a radient smile.::

(How can I stay mad at that face? Um...Was he looking...nah)

"It's ok hon...I'm not upset."

::Figuring that actions spoke louder than words Patience strides up to him, bounces on the balls of her feet and places a heartfelt kiss on his cheek. She then turns back to business.::

"So what wound up happening? Is Lirie ok? Where is Carys?"

::Theo's face turns red after the kiss. Smiling again Theo looks down hoping not to make things look too obvious.::

"Actually I'm not sure. Lirie said she was going to take care of Carys and that was about it, she left. Then I went home and yeah now I'm here. Other than that I have no clue. But Carys is most likely still at Lirie's place. The spell might have worn off, but lets hope it didnt."

(I cant believe she kissed me...)

(You know...crimson looks good on him...then again...so would I.)

::Patience starts to study Theo intently.::

( STOP IT!!! He is with Carys...who currently would rather drink him than...um...other things that I want to do. SHUT UP!!! I do not want to do anything to him...she is my friend and I have to help her!)

::Patience shakes herself out of her...um...studying.::

"I think we should go see if Lirie is ok...and what she has done with Carys."

::Patience grabs him by the wrist and pulls him out into the hallway.::

::Patience throws down everything she was holding and heads to her bedroom. She shuts the door behind her, puts on some soft music, and stripps to her panties. She pulls out a small tank top and throws it over her head, she then proceeds to bounce into bed and fall asleep.::

::Theo knocks on the door and waits for an answer.::

"Patience?"

::He grabs the knob and finds the door is unlocked. Opening it slightly he walks in.::

(Theo you should so not be doing this!)

::He looks around and hears soft music coming from a room. Stepping inside he finds Patience fast asleep.::

"Oops! Patience its Theo! Sorry to wake you up!"

::Patience's eyes flutter abit as she is woken up by Theo's voice.::

(Hmmmmm...five more minutes mom...wait...that's not my mom!)

::Patience jumps out of bed ready to fight only to relize too late that it is Theo...and she has on no bottoms.::

(HOLY SHIT!!!)

::Patience plops back down on the bed and pulls the covers up to her waist.::

"Oh my god...Theo...what are you doing here?"

(Ok...bitch much?)

"I mean...not to say you aren't welcome it is just...well..."

::She motions to her lower half.::

"Yeah..."

::Theo covers his eyes partially with his hands but spreads his fingers apart to peak.::

"Sorry....I was just here to give you back your money and to talk to you about something."

(Is he...peaking at me!!!???)

"Ok...what do you want to talk about?"

::Patience drifts her gaze to Theo's face and places to memory the shape of his eyes and the bits of green flecks mixed in with the sharp blue that emersed her when ever she looked at him.::

(Mmmmm...ok...snap out of it!!! It is a good thing that the spell is holding...if I'm like this now I shudder to think what would happen if he was back to his normal look...god I'm shallow.)

::Theo moves over and sits on the edge of the bed, weighing it somewhat down.::

"Well here's you money. You didnt have to pay...I got it."

::He hands her the money and tilts his head to the side.::

"There are some apartments, they look almost abandoned, there is dust on the door knobs. Four apartments. Did you know anyone that disappeared?"

::Patience shifts a bit on the bed to make room for the massive form of Theo...she makes no effort towards the money.::

(You know...normaly if a guy ordered for me I would kick his ass...)

::Her focus is turned fully on to Theo as she hears the word dissappeared.::

"Well...I'm not sure...lets go take a look at the apartments...close your eyes for a sec."

::Patience gets out from under the covers and slipps on some jeans.::

"Ok I'm good...lets go."

::With that Patience heads into the hallway.::

"You coming?"

::Watching the whole time Theo stands up.::

"Um- yeah I'm...ready to go!"

(Stop Theo....!)

::He then follows her out into the hallway::

::He steps inside and turns on the light. Using the other key he gets into the cabinet and loads stuff into a small duffle bag.::

"Oooh exploding potions, blinding potions, weapons galore. Oh yeah the witches. 4 witches are presumed missing so I guess we are going somewhere. We are supposed to go back to your place and wait on Patience but she will get the idea. "

::He grabs some paper and a pen and heads to the hallway.::

::Lirie walks in, watches Theo mumble and walks out::

::Theo rests on the couch but then gets up and raid through Patiences drawers and cupboards::

"Ooh energy bar, yuck, Lirie can have it. Potato chips.....grrrrr.....yummy. Oh food, I have missed you!"

::He grabs the chips and sits on the couch, waiting for Patience.::

::Lirie walks in, plopping onto the couch and closes her eyes::

"So... again about the missing witches and this time comprehendably. How do you know they're actually missing and not just hiding from you in fear you would sit on them? And chew with your mouth closed before you speak..."

::Theo pushes a smile past his cheeks.::

"Sorry, and I dont really know much about the witches. I just saw some apartments empty, mentioned it to Patience, and she got that 'I'm on a mission' look. I have an idea though. I will be back."

::He grabs a handful of chips and waves as he heads out into the hallway.::

::Lirie glances at him, outrageous::

"I'm not following you!!!"

(Patience and the 'I'm on a mission look'... oh boy...)

::Walking in he heads over to a coffee table and sets down the comb.::

"Hey I am going to scry for one of the witches."

::He grabs a map and then a chain from the supplies, finding an amethyst crystal he hooks it to the bottom. Theo takes the comb with hair and all and wraps the chain around it.::

"I really hope this works."

::Theo drops the crystal above the map and begins to scry, hoping to find the location of Paz.::

::Justin runs inside and slams the door behind him. Knowing he must look pretty damned scary, but not caring, he looks over at Lirie and Theo.::

(Oh great. How am I going to get anything done with Dipfuck and Fat Albert over there?)

::Breathlessly, he stares at them both.::

"I need... to speak... to Patience. NOW."

::Tilting his head a bit he questions Justin.::

"And you are? Sorry, but she is sort of busy, missing people and stuff...we're the closest you've got. We- she has us waiting here for here, so It shouldnt be that long."

(Yeah, think we just revealed a bit much there Theo.)

::He goes back to scrying for Paz.::

::Justin walks over to Theo and grabs him by the colar of his shirt. Unable to lift his fat ass off the couch, he looks into his eyes.::

"Look, Lardass, I couldn't give a shit about missing..."

(Wait a minute... I'm missing people!)

"Wait a minute, I'll bet that I'm one of those missing people. More than that, I'm the only one who knows where the rest are. Now you listen here. We're going to get Patience here, quick like. I don't have time for games."

::Still fuming, he releases Theo and stands up, closing his eyes and casting a spell to return Patience.::

"Though away from here she did flee,
This is a dire emergency.
However far or whether near,
Bring to me the witch Patience here."

::Theo drops the scrying crystal on the map and looks Justin in the eyes as he listens to everything.::

(So he is one of the missing four. Hope his spell works...)

(Oh great! Another spell...)

"Can't we just go wherever the hell the rest are and rescue them? Or something..."

::Theo turns to Lirie::

"No...I think we should wait on Patience, she sort of rallied this all together and stuff."

(Hold your pants...)

"Okay, then... waiting..."

::Lirie hops to her feet, walking to the fridge and open the door, gazing. Grabbing the nearest bottle of beer, she returns to her seat::

"She should've at least tell you where she was going... just in case situation like this might happen..."

::She motions towards Justin, who is still caugt up in the spell casting::

[The spell to take you to Patience has unforeseen consequences. i.e a trademark backfire. It teleports you to her. Almost as good, right? Sort of. Anyway, you've been teleported to Patience, who is currently residing on the Front Door of the illustrious Halliwell Manor. Have fun]

::Theo's jaw drops as Justin dissappears in a swirl of golden orbs.::

"What just happened...? I dont think his spell worked..."

::He looks back down at the map and picks up the amethyst crystal. He discards of the comb and head to the bathroom. Picking up some lipstick he ties the chain around it. He then drops the crystal and moves it around in a circualr motion, scrying for Patience.::

"I'm srycing for Patience, then maybe all this will come together-or something."

(Please work.)

::Lirie smirks as Justin disappears::

"I think it'll be faster if you just go along with your gut feeling..."

::Theo shoots Lirie a very cheeky smile and drops the crystal.::

"Your right this isnt working...Hey you Powers That Be! I need to find Patience Brookhaven!"

::He picks up the crystal::

"Come on...come on....Patience where are you!?"

::He is still swinging the crystal around, scrying for Patience Brookhaven.::
