Junior: Doesn't matter. Whatever is fine. Mr. Havenfield.

Reed: Okay. Let's not be so formal. Just call me Reed.

Kyle: Alright. Sir. Have a good one. If you want anything else, I'm here to serve.

Reed: Well then. How about give me an order of nachos and spinach stuffed mushrooms.

Kyle: Of course. Sir.

[Wyatt, Chris, and PJ are all surrounded by demons all around including Zane and Declan.]

PJ: I knew it. We couldn't trust you.

Wyatt: How could you do this to us?

Chris: We all trusted you and worst of all. You got a cupid to trust you.

Declan: Sorry. Witches. It's in my nature. I refused to accept my human side years ago.

Zane: Nice work. Declan.

Declan: Thanks boss.

[Wyatt's, Chris', and PJ's eyes go wide in shock.]

Wyatt: You work for him?

Chris: How the heck did you even get into the house? There was a protection spell.

PJ: Yea.

Declan: My human side. Duh. Witches.

[Declan then rolls his eyes to give them the signal. PJ nods and throws out the potions and it vanquishes all of them but Zane is able to SHIMMER out of the way.]

Wyatt: Top notch acting skills. Man.

Chris: Yea.

PJ: We nearly believed you.

Zane: Grr. You traitor. How dare you? You know what's going to happen right with your betrayal.

Declan: You can't threaten me. Zane. I already know my family is safe.

Zane: Oh yea. One phone call and your mortal family gets it.

Declan: It ends now! Guys. Get ready.

Wyatt: Right! Earplugs. Guys!

[Chris and PJ nod. They put on the earplugs. Declan uses his Sonic Scream against Zane.]

Zane (groaning in pain): Sto... p...it. I can't ta ... ke it.

Declan: We got him. I done my job.

Wyatt: Thanks. Declan. For risking yourself.

Chris: Yea.

PJ: For reals.

Danny: I'm tired of waiting. Let's just do it.

Ethan: I agree. Besides I'm sick of our boss. Treating us like dirt.

Danny: But I want to play with this cute little thing before we kill her.

Ethan: Whatever you want. If I can play with that witch, later. It's fine.

Melinda: I don't know. There has to be a catch.

Darakai: No catch. That's if you want those mortals safe and sound out of here.

Melinda: Why you!

[Melinda tries to punch him but he stops her.]

Darakai: Now, now, now. Let's not do this. You don't know who you are messing with. With what I did to those demons.

Melinda: Fine. I'll deliver the message. You have to make sure you are not to touch them.

Darakai: Thank you. For the delivery. But now I got other business to do. Have a nice night. Miss Halliwell.

[Darakrai FLAMES out and time is unfrozen. Melinda then turns around to them.]

[Zane is trapped in crystal cage as Wyatt and Chris have been torturing them for a while to get some answers.]

Wyatt: Speak. Demon.

Chris: Tell us where our sister is?

Zane: Never! I rather have you suffered like I did.

[Wyatt then moves one of the crystals slightly to zap Zane.]

Wyatt: Had enough! I don't want to ask anymore. Where is our sister?!

Chris: What we are making you going through is nothing compared to what we really want do.

Zane: Let's stop with the silly games. I know and you two know it's already over for your sister.

Wyatt: That's a lie.

Chris: Yea why should we believe what you said?

Zane: Who else can you believe? I'm the only one who information of where your sister would be.

Wyatt: Then talk. Or I might do this the hard way.

Chris: Yea. You do not want to anger my brother. He's out of control when angry.

Zane: And you think I'm scared? You killed me and as a result nothing on your sister.

Wyatt: How about you stop play the silly games and tell us where our sister is?

Zane: Nah. I live to torture you.

[Wyatt moves one of the crystals it back and forth as Zane screams in pain from the shock.]

Wyatt: Ready to talk.

Zane: Heh heh. Nope. Keep doing this. I won't talk.

Wyatt: That's it. Let me at him.

[Wyatt is about to orb inside, his face going red with anger. Chris stops him pulling his arm back.]

Chris: No Wyatt. Don't stoop to his level.

Wyatt: But Chris.

Chris: No. This is what he wants. To test us like this. Get a reaction.

Wyatt: Then what do we suggest we do. We tortured him almost all night and he still won't say anything.

Chris: I don't know. Hmm. What other way can we torture a demon besides with this.

Wyatt: How about I blow up one of his body parts? That will show him.

Chris: No Wyatt. No. We are not condoning to physical violence.

Wyatt: This is going to take all night. Which means I don't if Mel is okay by then.

Chris: Yea. But we're out of ideas. And it's getting late.

Wyatt: And we have our real life to worry about than this demon.

Chris: I think we can leave him here. No way of getting out.

Wyatt: Yea. I got some editing to do.

Chris: Same here. With my gig today.

Wyatt: Alright. Demon. Today's your lucky day. We'll deal with you tomorrow.

Zane: Oh how kind of you. Witches.

[Wyatt and Chris leave the attic as Zane remains in the cage. He tries to blast it several time with his energy balls but it doesn't break through. Then a rat scurries in and moves the crystals away very carefully deactivating the cage. It then shifts into a rat demon.]

Rat Demon: You are welcome.

Zane: Nice work. But who sent you?

Rat Demon: My boss. Now let's go before those Halliwell Witches notice something is off.

Zane: But how. The manor is protected by evil.

Rat Demon: Doesn't work for animals.

Zane: But I don't want to leave now. Those witches are vulnerable now and sleeping.

Darakai: Excellent. Your job is done. You may go.

Rat Demon: Of course. Boss.

[He then SHIMMERS out.]

Zane: So who are you? And why help me?

Darakai: I have my reasons.

Zane: What reasons?

Darakai: Killing witches of course. Especially the Halliwells.

Zane: Hmm. You pique my interest. But I have to decline. I work alone.

Darakai: And how did that turn out for you? Two of those Halliwells got you.

Zane: A minor mistake on my part. Thought I could trust my own. But you know those half breeds.

Darakai: Oh yes. So let's work together against those Halliwells.

Zane: I don't know about that. It's a difficult decision. Usually don't work well with others.

Darakai: I don't either but the both of us want the same thing. And I can help you with my connections and power.

Zane: Looks I have no choice. If this is only way to get my revenge against the Halliwells, then all for it.

Darakai: Great. Now leave me.

Zane: Alright. You will let me know if you plan an attack.

Darakai: Of course.

Zane: Then I'll see you soon then.

[Zane SHIMMERS out. Darakai then smirks.]
