::Petunius walks towards the front desk of the police station and stands, watching the bustle of activity take place in the bull pen. Seeing that no one was at the front desk, he taps the nearby bell sharply twice and waits.::

(Mmm, donuts...)

"Yeah?"

"Uh yeah, hi. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm on an assignment for the Bay Mirror and trying to find out some stuff about someone."

::Petunius smiles awkwardly before continuing.::

"But here's the catch, I don't know his surname or what he does, although I do know that he's either a stockbroker, accountant or most likely, a lawyer. Goes by the first name of Cole. Is it possible to have a looksee at the police records and try and find something on him?"

"I'm afraid our files are for police use only. You cannot access them unless you are the object of said files."

(Crap. Think of something...think...)

"Oh come on, a little help here? At least tell me if there is a lawyer named Cole on your records. Just a surname."

(Damn the legal system. And damn my lack of being a hot girl who could flaunt cleavage at him.)

::Petunius tries to negotiate with the officer non-verbally but then realises that it is all becoming an exercise in pointlessness. He sighs frustratedly and wordlessly starts to walk back out.::

(Where to go next? I'm rapidly running out of options here. Meh. Might as well get in some power practice while I decide what to do.)

::He meanders on down the street, unconsciously making his way towards Erin.::

::Patience walks in with a huge knot in her stomach. She spots a not so scary looking officer and taps him on the shoulder as she speaks timidly.::

"Um...excuse me...I'd like to report a murder."

::The officer looks around sharply, immediately serious. He looks Patience up and down, and blinks.::

"What happened?"

"I don't know...we just found him on the beach."

(What? Was I supposed to say that we got attacked by a demon? Pft!)

"I've got someone with the body now...if you wanted to send someone out there..."

(I need to go incase they ask Awena what happend)

"I'll go on ahead...I don't want to leave my friend alone with the body for long...my other friend already got upset."

::Patience heads to the beach.::

::Gathering a few other police officers, the man gets a squad car and follows Patience to the beach.::

::Luke approaches a desk, sitting down in a chair waiting for a police officer or inspector to assist him. He looks around, reading an office door with "Lieutenant Darryl Morris" in black letters on the glass.::

(Clearly, the service here sucks. Unless, of course, when they are trying to arrest me. I need to get some work done, anyway...)

::Luke writes down a note with Valterra's address and the details regarding "Lee's" "death". He leaves for the Magic Shop first.::

::Moira runs in and clutches the front desk, gasping for air. She doesn't get exercise much. Once she's calmed down a bit, she starts gabbling.::

"There are... people... They're capturing people and tying them up and not letting them leave the house and..."

"Sorry kid. Lunch break."

::He eats a doughnut.::

::Moira stares at the officer.::

"You're fucking kidding me, right? There are people breaking the law. Right now. You have to do something about it."

"Look lady, if I don't have my break now someone will steal the one with pink frosting and sprinkles!"

::Whines.::

::Moira looks despairingly at the officer.::

"Is there anyone not on their break?"

::He doesn't answer as he's eating his thirty fourth doughnut. Moira isn't good enough to compete with doughnuts.::

::Moira growls in annoyance.::

"Fine. I don't need your help anyway."

::She walks to the beach.::

"Thank fuck for that! Ok boys, back to work now!"

::Joyce careens into the police station with Lois and slams her ID on the counter.::

"Joyce Jehovah, FBI!"

"Lois Jebediah. Also FBI!"

::Flashes ID.::

"Well done?"

"We've been sent out to investigate a series of strange occurances. We'd appreciate the use of your files and building to help with this."

(Yeah bitch.)

"Or else."

"Or else what?"

"Exactly!"

::Val comes in looking calm and slightly scared. She walks up to the front desk.::

"Hello?"

::The dude at the desk looks at at Valerie.::

"Yes?"

::Val smiles calmly at the officer.::

"Hello. I was told that my half-sister was arrested not to long ago. Her name is Josie."

::Val eben sounds like she's telling the truth. She looks calm, though she's really sort of freaking out inside. Not like they can tell. She looks behind the officer for a moment wondering if she can see Josie.::

::The officer does some typing on a neat laptop then shrugs.::

"Nobody called Josie here. Got a last name for me?"

::Val doesn't know Josie's last name.::

(Crap.)

"Well my last name is Wish but I don't know Josie's. her parents remairied a couple of months ago."

::And Val is making this all up. She looks like if she remembered something and dashes to CW.::

::Prue looks expectantly at Valerie before getting impatient. She grabs her arm and hurries them both inside, dumping the box on the desk and leaning over it, exposing her soft cleavage. If that image didn't turn you on, you're a freak. Mmm soft.::

"Hey boys."

::Several officers drop what they're doing and stare. One's face has a strange red mist over it.::

::Prue smiles teasingly at those looking.::

"So my friend and I wanted to congratulate you boys on all the fine work you do for this city..."

::She opens the box of doughnuts and spins it to face them.::

"Hope this is okay?"

::Valerie smiles at the cops and, well, does the same as Prue. Oh, and she also mutes the group outside's steps and puts a 'dome of silence' around them. They group can talk to eachother but no one can hear them or their foot steps.::

"Wow. This definitely doesn't happen often!"

::They clamour around Prue and Valerie being the oafish pigs men like that tend to be.::

::Piper quickly follows Paige with Josie and Azura. She's now holding the dust. They walk into the police station and Piper sees the man with the red face.::

(This is gonna be tough to explain if he sees me...)

::She pulls some dust out and blows it into his face.::

::The officer blinks, looking confused. He forgets all about Josie and the red mist disappears. He turns around.::

"Ooh, doughnuts..."

::Valerie smiles at the officer teasing him. She sends a thought at Azura.::

(All done?)

::Following Piper's lead, Paige grabs a couple of handfuls from the bag and nods that Azura go with her, heading down past the officer to the cells. She blows a little of the dust on people she sees on the way, smiling as their red faces turn normal.::

(Can you sense anybody else?)

::Back in the entrance, Prue smirks at a man as she places some frosting in her mouth, licking it off her finger.::

"Mmm, these are good..."
