According to Audrey, they're annoyed that their particular brand of magic doesn't work on her. But I don't really have any more context than that. Audrey and I are new friends.

[So she's still getting to know her, for better or worse.]

Her partner is a friend of a friend.

Why is her partner not here?

( All these mysteries. Hearing that a form of magic or magical effect doesn't work on Audrey? That, he follows, and secretly loves that that is the case. )

Because he was actually further away than she was. I was in New York, so it was easy for me to hop on the chopper and head on over.

[Her face softens as she folds her hands in front of her.]

I know this is a lot to process. But we'll figure it out. And Audrey will be here soon.

A chopper.

( Friends in high flying places. )

If you knew Haven, you wouldn't be worrying about us processing anything. We'll be fine. Can you do me a favor? Get us into next door? Remand me into your custody or something?

[She doesn't say no. But she does think she should at least give the warning:]

Audrey wanted us to stay separate? She says that one of the witches powers work through touch and that you may not feel it as readily as Duke would.

[Though Audrey didn't say why.]

But, she doesn't want that witch to know her power doesn't work on me.

( Might not. )

[Waverly isn't sure if it's that or because he won't realize that he's been affected, but before she can articulate that, Waverly's phone buzzes, signaling Audrey's arrival. "Looks like she's here. Let's give her a minute and then you can probably ask her yourself."

Audrey heads into the security office, immediately making a beeline for Duke. The guard tries to stop her and she holds up her badge.]


Special Agent Audrey Parker.

["Damn, finally. How many people did you have to send in your place?"

Audrey doesn't bother to argue. Instead, she pushes open the door to the office with Duke, Jaqueline and Sierra and narrows her eyes.]


You two do know that impersonating a federal agent is a crime. One that involves jail time?

( Nathan stands, then, coming around the table and walking up to the window.

Duke stays silent at first. They attempted to put the screws to him, agent Malraux playing bad cop, but he didn't give them anything. Instincts say to round the room to get to Audrey, but now these two are impersonators.

"We had unfinished business and as fast as we ended up here, we'll be long gone after," Sierra says, boldly. "Tell us what we want to know and we'll leave your cowboys alone."

You say that like I actually owe either of you any kind of explanation.

[Because she does not.]

You were the ones holding someone hostage, and all I did was relieve you of that hostage. Just like I'm going to relieve you of this one. But I'll give you a choice. You can leave of your own accord and head back to your lives. Or I can go talk to the nice Black Badge agent I brought with me and we can have a much different conversation.

[Jaqueline's eyebrows go up, because she does know what Black Badge is (15), but isn't inclined to back down just yet. "I may not be able to affect your mind, but I willing to bet I can still affect your body, and Black Badge isn't here. I'm willing to bet I'm faster."]

Guess we'll have to see.

[She reaches for her phone to text Waverly, who is probably listening, fully ready to call Jaqueline's bluff.]
