Charmed Season two : The Mighty Balthazar Finally Saved.

The Devil's Music

-P4.-

Prue and Phoebe are sitting at a table. 'This place couldn't be more dead if I was embalmed.'

Prue nods. 'Yeah, I think that we're gonna have to take that offer.'

'What's this guy's name again?' Phoebe asks.

Prue frowns. 'Chris Barker.'

'And he's not a loan shark or anything, is he?' Phoebe asks again.

Prue shakes her head. 'No. He's a collector, an investor. And it's a no-interest loan that we can pay back any time. Trust me, he's not gonna miss the money.'

'Mmm. Must be nice. When do we tell Piper?' Phoebe inquires.

Prue furrows her brow. 'Not until the club is in the black.'

Piper and Prim come up to them. 'So, you guys, you do like the name of the club, right? P4. Little nod to the Power of Four, to us, partners.'

'I for one love it. It's the perfect name for the club.' Prim smiles at her.

Phoebe nods. 'Yeah, it's very clever. Uh, Piper, it's a little, uh, quiet in here. Don't you think?'

'It'll pick up once word of mouth kicks in.' Piper assures.

'And when will that be, exactly?' Phoebe doesn't have high hopes.

Piper sighs. 'Well, you can't predict these things exactly. It's not like starting a restaurant. Besides the bank's not gonna call the loan. It's not like we're gonna lose the house.'

She leaves.

'Who said anything about losing house? We're not gonna lose the house, are we?' Phoebe starts freaking out.

Prim groans. 'Oh ye of little faith. Can't you just trust Piper. I believe she'll make this place something.'

'Prim! We already feel bad enough about this. (She turns to Phoebe) And no, because we're gonna take that offer and trust Piper to fill this place with people.' Prue tells them.

Phoebe looks around. 'What people? Where is everybody?'

-Another club.-

Dishwalla is playing there. Leo walking around.

-a room in the back.-

A girl is talking to a man. 'So, you, like, produce their records or what?'

'No, no, nothing that creative. I'm their new manager. I take care of things, whatever needs to be done, I do.' The man replies.

The girl is overjoyed. 'Man, I can't believe this. This is like the most unbelievable thing that has ever happened to me.'

'Ah, the night's young.' The man smiles.

The girl can't believe it. 'I can't believe you picked me.'

'Well, you seemed like a good ... soul. Plus, you said the magic words. You said you'd do anything, remember?' The man asks.

The girl nods. 'Yes, yes. I do.'

'All right, just wait inside. The band should be down any minute.' The man replies.

The girl is jumping with excitement. 'Thank you, thank you so much.'

'Don't thank me yet.' He mumbles.

She walks in some room. 'Hello? Is somebody there? Hello?'

A demon appears and she screams. The manager walks in. 'Okay, that's it. No more. I can't keep doing this. It's got to stop.'
