The Secretary
A/N: It's been awhile but Cathie and I are back to give you this chapter. I bet you can tell by the format which one is mine and which is Cathie's. Please Review...
Cole woke up breathing heavily. He couldn't breath he got up and stumbled to his drawer as his breathing came out hitched. He opened the drawer and pulled out a brown paper bag. He breathed into it. He dropped to the ground and held his chest. He didn't know why he was having these once in awhile panic attacks. He had one yesterday at the office but hid in the bathroom.
After a few moments he stood up and crawled back to his bed. He picked up a glass of water with shaky hands and drank some. Eventually he fell back to sleep.
***Next Afternoon Attic***
"This is all very weird" said Andy writing down ingredients.
"But you have to learn it" said Piper glancing at The Book of Shadows in shorts and a blue tank. Leo was checking her out on occasion. He could not keep his eyes off of her.
"Where's Cole?" asked Piper checking her watch. "I have to train you three on powers"
"He left early this morning" said Andy. "He's not really embracing the whole Charmed thing. I think it scares the crap out of him"
"Andy" said Leo sternly.
"Well he'll have to be here" said Piper. "Call him up and tell him to come here for lunch"
"Go ahead Andy" said Leo quickly.
*****The Underworld***
"We've been watching the Turner witches for a while, now. The last demon we
placed in the position gave herself away, too soon. You'll be applying for
the job as secretary for Cole Turner, the oldest of the Turner witches."
Linus said
"But what if he doesn't hire me?"
"Don't worry, he will."
"You must be careful. Watch, listen and observe." Paulo added."
"Yes, I won't let you down." Phoebe said.
"Just be careful."
*****The Manor***
"Turner." Cole said, breathing deeply.
"Cole, it's Andy. You need to come home for lunch. Piper needs to train us
on our powers."
"I can't, I need to conduct interviews for a new secretary. She can show me
later."
"But she said it was important."
"Andy, We can't put our lives on hold just because we're, you know. I'll see
you later."
Andy slowly walked back up to the attic.
"When can he get here?" Piper asked.
"he's not coming. He said he has to interview for a new secretary."
"I'll call him." Leo said.
"No, I go talk to him, in person. Keep training." Piper said as she orbed
out.
"Boy, I wouldn't want to cross her." Andy said.
*****Law Firm*****
Cole was in the men's room, washing his face when Piper orbed in.
"What are you doing here! This is a men's room! You can't just orb anywhere
you want to!"
"You have to learn about your powers and how to control them."
"I know how my powers work! I don't need you to explain them to me!" Cole
exclaimed, as a wall of toilet tissue fell down.
"Cole, I'm only trying to help."
Cole sighed. "I know are, but we need to work. I'll train tonight, I
promise."
"I'm sorry I bothered you. See you later."
*****Manor*****
"Where's Cole?" leo asked when Piper orbed back in.
"He'll train tonight." Piper said.
She knew there was something else bothering Cole Turner. She'll talk to him
tonight.
"I can't train tonight. I got the job at Quake. I'm working the 4 to
midnight shift." Andy said.
"I'll train you two now and Cole later." Piper said. "Now, come on, Leo
concentrate."
*****Law Firm****
Cole was sitting at his desk wondering why he had the panic attack, this
morning. He hadn't had one in a while, so why now.
"Mr. Turner, are you ready for the next applicant?"
"Yes, show her in, please."
The woman came in and handed Cole her resume
"Miss. Jane Smith. You have a very impressive resmue but I'm sorry I can't
give you the job.
"Why not. I type 95 words per minute and take shorthand and 90 words a
minute. So what's the problem?"
"You don't know how to use the computer. "
"You can teach me."
"Miss Smith, I don't have time to teach you how to use the computer. I have
too much work to do myself. I'm sorry."
"So am I" she said as she walked out the door.
*****That night at The Manor*****
When Cole walked in the house he was happy that Andy and leo weren't around.
he didn't want to talk about what happened earlier today. He walked to the
fireplace and took down his mom's picture.
"I don't think I can do this. It's too much for a person to handle. I don't
want to end up dead at an early age." he whispered.
Just then the doorbell rang. When Cole opened the door he was surprised to
see Piper standing there.
"i didn't want to startle you, again."
"Thanks." he said as he placed his mother's picture back.
"That's your mother?"
"Yes. I miss her so much."
"How old was she when she..."
"Died? Too young. I don't want to end up like her. And I don't want that for
my brothers either. We may not be as close as we should be, but they're all
I got."
"Look I know all this magic stuff is bothering you, but you need to train You
need to know how to channel your powers."
"Okay, you're right. I'll train. By the way, where's Leo and Andy?"
"Leo's somewhere in the house and Andy had to go to work."
"Really? Andy got a job?"
Cole didn't get to bed till after one. Once his head hit the pillow he was
out like a light.
*****Next Day - Law Firm*****
"Okay Miss Halliwell, please have a seat."
"Thank you."
Phoebe watched Cole as he read her resume. He's so goodlooking. Too bad he
has to die., she thought to herself.
"Very impressive. Typing 95 words a minute, shorthand 90 words a minute. And
you know the computer."
"I'm sure you still need to interview more people, so..."
"No, you're hired."
*****THe Manor*****
"Hey, Cole, how do you feel?" Leo asked.
"I'm fine, now. I wasn't feeling too good, for the last few days, but I'm
fine now. I also hired a new secretary."
"Is she pretty?" "I thought you had you're eye on Piper?"
"I do, but you never know."
"I heard Andy got a job? where is he working?"
"Quake. Wanna go bother him?"
Leo asked.
"Sure." Cole said as he closed the front door.
