The Deck [Friday Morning Before Classes]

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Currently, there were three girls, one boy, and a dog on the deck at The Charles Townsend Agency. Of the group, the dog was the only one in their right mind.

Sabrina, Jill and Kelly had all jogged, slowly and braless, down to the Agency, being joined shortly thereafter by Bosley. Lounging in chairs, the angels waited for Charlie to contact them, or for someone who needed their help.

[Open! And they've all fled.]

"I know, Kelly. Charlie saved us all. A day not hearing Charlie's voice is like a day without sunshine. You understand now why I can't give away all the finer details of what Charlie wants us to do today. There'd be no sunshine."

[wannabehunter]

"And without sunshine the trees and grass can't grow," Jill flicked her hair. "So there'd be none of those either." Flick.

"And without trees and grass, we'd have no air, and the world would die," Bosley concluded. "So you see, we all need Charlie."

[notahostage]

Sabrina tilted her head to one side. "I know that Charlie saved us from the sexual chauvinism inherent in the police force," she said. "But what did he save you from?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Ah, you don't want to hear about that," Bosley said, waving her off. "All that needs to be said is that he brought you three into my life and that's all that matters. What do you say we play a little game? If you guess the mission, I can nod or shake my head. That way, Charlie still gets to tell us the details, but you're a little closer to knowing what's going on. What do you say?"

[wannabehunter]

"Oh, oh," Jill bounced excitedly, showing off her lack of bra once more. "Am I pretending to be a consumptive French prostitute?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Bosley paused and thought about it. He didn't nod, nor shake his head, but instead gave a 'eh, sort of' jiggle of his hand.

"We're going to be undercover as members of a burlesque act in the style of the Moulin Rouge?" Kelly guessed.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"No, but remind me to suggest that to Charlie," Bosley said.

[notahostage]

Sabrina thought about it. "We're working in conjunction with a specialised unit of younger cops whose youthful appearances enable them to go undercover in highschools?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Bosley shook his head again. "I think that's a little before its time. Give it ten years."

[wannabehunter]

"We're investigating the use of bionic implants by the US government to create secret operatives?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Charlie's still trying to get the government contract for that one."

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

"A government agent has only twenty-four hours to stop a terrorist attack on US soil. We have to help him?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I'd really hope not with Charlie running a little late today and all, but if you're interested, I can always ask around."

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Kelly considered it for a moment. "So long as he doesn't have a daughter that keeps getting threatened in increasingly outlandish ways."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure a consummate professional wouldn't let his personal life affect his work like that," Bosley assured her confidently.

[notahostage]

"We have to protect the chosen one until he can grow up and defeat a dark wizard?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I think we're getting a little off track here, Angels," Bosley frowned. "If any of our missions start to involve wizards, I think one of you is going to have to suit up, get on a motorcycle and jump it over a shark."

[wannabehunter]

"That actually sounds like fun," Jill said with a thoughtful hair-flick. "Depending on the kind of shark."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"It'd depend on what kind of insurance we could get. Death-defying stunts are all well and good in this line of work, but you bring animals into it, and the premium skyrockets. We might have to settle for ill-tempered mutated sea bass."

[wannabehunter]

"What about sea bass with lasers attached to their heads?" Jill asked, flicking her hair once more. "I hear you can get a good deal on those."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I'll look into it. For now though, no wizards. Not even a magician if we can help it."

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Kelly deflated slightly and put her idea about destroying a magic ring to one side. "What about werewolves?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"How did we get from prostitutes to werewolves? Prostitutes were closer."
