::Prue suddenly pulls a door open and peeks inside. Her shoulders sag with relief.::

"In here."

::They go into a storage room with loads of shelves packed with items.::

(Ancient weaponry...)

::She walks towards the back, eventually coming to an area reserved for what looks like tribal weapons; spears, shooters and... crossbows.::

"Here."

:: Azura's eyes fall on all the weaponary, then to Prue and back again.::

"We are going to shoot Paige...?"

::Prue laughs.::

"Yeah, square in the ass."

::She shakes her head and pulls off the crossbow, examining it.::

(This ought to do it.)

::A voice calls in from the door.::

"R-Mr. Buckland? Did I see you come in here?"

:: Azura jumps and spins around to face the doorway. She frowns as she tries to work out who it is.::

(Prue, that potion is going to wear off any minute now and that... secretary? is blocking the door.)

::Prue cringes and looks down at the crossbow in her hands.::

(That didn't sound like a secretary, Azura.)

::She bites her lip as she feels her body start to return to normal.::

(It sounded like...)

"Shit."

(I need to... hide.)

::Seeing movement, Hannah stalks in and looks at Azura, then Prue, then the crossbow, then Prue!!! She drops her coffee and stares.::

::Prue stares back, panicked.::

(Azura. You need to use your power. You need to make her think she didn't see me. Hurry.)

:: Azura stares at Prue. She has never used her power in that way before, so has no idea if she can do it or not.::

(But... I have never...)

:: She looks from Hannah to Prue and back again, realising that it really is the only way. So she concentrates on Hannah's mind, wanting to change her perspective of the room, make it so she never saw Prue in the first place.::

::Hannah looks at Prue for a few seconds longer, then down at her feet.::

"How clumsy of me."

::She steps away, then looks at Azura.::

"Can I help you at all? I thought I saw you come in here with Mr. Buckland, but he seems to have disappeared."

:: Azura is surprised to find that her alteration of Hannah's mind seems to have worked. She stares at the woman in front of her for a few seconds before answering.::

(I can do that sort of thing?)

"Oh. No. He showed me in here but had to go take an urgent call or something. You know what business men can be like."

:: Fake smile.::

"He said I could have a look around to see if I saw anything I liked. My family deal in ancient weapons you see."

"Really..."

::Hannah looks suspicious.::

(Rex wouldn't leave somebody alone in here. Maybe one of the display rooms, but not a back one.)

"And is there... anything... that you like?"

(We need to get out of here, right now! You need to get Hannah to lead you back to the front. We just have to walk right out of here. While we do, you're gonna need to use your power to create a field or something around me and the crossbow so nobody notices me, okay? You've done it to Hannah, you can do it.)

::Prue bites her lip, trying to keep her thoughts calm, and hardly daring to move in case she breaks the spell.::

:: Azura doesn't miss the suspicious looks she is getting from Hannah, and Prue's thoughts only add to her stress. ::

(I will try, but I have never used my power like this before, I have no idea how long I can keep this going.)

"Sadly no. I thought I might find something here, but I have not."

:: She gives the weapons one last glance.::

"Could you lead me back to the front entrance? I am afraid that I cannot remember the way, this building is so big."

"Certainly."

::Hannah smiles lightly at Azura, still not quite believing her, and leads her to the front door.::

"I'll get Mr. Buckland to call tomorrow."

::Prue follows, feeling not at her most inconspicuous what with the large crossbow in her hands.::
