Just then Prue walked in, talking on her phone. “Well, just tell Marcy that she can sell the ring and use the money to rebuild the bookstore. It's a thank-you for protecting us. No Darryl, the ring is not hot. I'll talk to you later,” and she hung up.
“So, what else did Hellfire get from Barbus?” I wanted to know.
She shrugged. “Diamond necklaces, bracelets, mahogany, a Salvador dolly.”<br>
“You can't really keep all that stuff, can you?” you wanted to know.
“No,” she said, shaking her head. “No. It wouldn't really be right, but maybe I can figure out a way to use it for some good and save my job,” since she’d been using so much time to play Ms. Hellfire, she almost cost both her and Jack their jobs. Then she grinned.. “And if not, I can always astral-project and job-hunt twice as fast.”<br>
I pouted. “Sure, just rub it in. I would love to be in two places at once.”<br>
She grinned. “As long as one of those places is fun, I'll be happy. I think I may have learned a few things from Ms. Hellfire,” as the doorbell rang. “You know, change my routine, shake things up a little bit.” You & I laughed, trying to imagine our big sister doing that as she went to answer the door. “Jack.”<br>
Jack was infuriated. “You know, Prue, it is bad enough that you don't answer your phone, come into the office or otherwise appear to be doing your job, but now you're gonna take me down with you. What do you got to say for yourself?”<br>
She grinned. “$275,000.”<br>
He stared at her as if she’d just grown an extra head. “Excuse me?”<br>
She grinned, turning her back on him to wink at us. “The market value of the anonymous estate donation I've been out acquiring. The one request is that all proceeds go to Stop the Violence Foundation. Not bad for a day’s worth of work, now is it?”<br>
“No, it certainly isn't,” he agreed, impressed, and we had a hard time not cracking up. “And you know, I never doubted you for a moment, partner.”<br>
She smirked. “Liar. Let's go celebrate, partner,” and when he agreed, she asked us if we wanted to come along, and we agreed, you calling out, “Free drinks at P3! But first I want to see if Dan wants to come, too,” and even though I felt a little like a fifth wheel, we all agreed to go out and have fun. Who knows, maybe I’d find someone interesting at P3!
