*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

I am just getting into work as I had gone to meet Bowen who was also due into work. He splits to do his duties and I am reading a magazine. I can hear music playing as I go in to the shop but I don't look up to interested in my magazine. All of a sudden I jump as Chip jumps up from beside some boxes with some sort of box on his head and a plunger in his hand which he was pointing at me like it was a sword.

"I say there most incredulous lady," he says and I pretend to be scared to amuse him. "You're standing in my moat. You will most likely be devoured by a crocodile."

I want to laugh but I decide to play along.

"Saltwater or freshwater croc?" I ask him sounding interested.

He begins to look confused.

"Uh.." he hesitates as he thinks about it. "Freshwater I think."

"Oh then it is my lucky day," I say and I can hear Bowen laughing from behind the counter at me as I flip the plunger out of chips hand and point it at him raising my eyebrows at him. "For I know first hand that it's the saltwater croc that is more dangerous to man. So I'll just swim on through!"

I pass him the plunger and wink at him as I pass through his pretend moat. He looks really confused and Bowen is still laughing.

"Is that actually true?" He asks still laughing.

I shrug. "Who knows?" I smile looking back at Chip. "But it will keep him busy for a few hours while he thinks about it."

Bowen just laughs louder.

Me and Bowen are sorting through the different jobs that need doing.

A few minutes later and I have my magazine back in hand and I am walking towards the back when I bash into someone. Xander.

He drops something out of a box and I bend down to pick it up for him and see that it's a cash load.

"Looks like you already dropped it and not even at the bank," I tell him and I check the amount quickly. "$1,00? Sure could use that kind of cash."

"We all could," Xander agreed before he walked off with the deposit.

"Courtney," Vida called to me from the DJ booth and I turn to look at her. "Come check this out!"

I walk over to her and take the headphones to listen. I love the beat of the music.

"Nice," I tell my two female ranger friends. "Cool beat."

I continue to listen and begin to dance.

"It makes you wanna-"

I cut off as a sharp pain in my head occurs and then I hear a voice.

"You're not wanted Courtney! You're not wanted anywhere! Leave before it's too late!"

I am shocked and look around before taking the head phones off and looking at the other two girls.

"Real funny guys," I say chuckling and I pass the headphones back to Vida. Both girls give me confused looks. "I got work to do!"

I grab my magazine and walk off not feeling really good right now.

I go outside to unload the van when the pain begins to get worse.

"Nobody wants you here Courtney! Leave now!"
