Charlie headed straight for the kitchen once she got back to the hotel. She had a pile of paperwork from the clerk of the court, and she knew a good bit of it would need to be sorted through quickly. One hand picked through the stack as she poured out a mug of coffee from the nearly full pot on the coffee maker.
One page caught her eye, with the name Katherine McAvera. Charlie picked out the page, taking a sip from her mug, and then immediately cringed. She swallowed the mouthful of coffee to avoid spitting it all over the paper in her hand. "Good lord, Nathan Petrelli!" she exclaimed, stomping a foot. "Warn people before you leave this sludge in the coffee pot!" She rinsed out the pot - twice! - before setting a fresh pot to brew, and drank two glasses of tap water to try and get the taste of Nathan Petreli's Super Coffee out of her mouth. When she finally could feel her tongue again, Charlie picked up the page that had Kathy's name on it.
...motion to permit visitation, yadda yadda yadda... supervision by the current custodians, blah blah blah... granted to Miss Cordelia Chase-- oh! Hey!
Charlie bounced up and down once or twice, before grabbing a fresh mug of coffee, this one tolerable. Then she snatched up the paperwork and hurried up the stairs to Cordelia's room, knocking loudly at the door.
