Will Agatha tell her?

Well, it's more tactful than "You used up the accumulated time."

Tell her what?

From:

That Agatha herself has the Command Voice.

Consider: Agatha could take Colette aside and quietly tell her that she can control revenants. To reassure Colette that she will not abuse her power, Agatha makes a recording in which she commands "All those who serve Me must gather peacefully at noon tomorrow at the intersection of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Rue Morgue!" Agatha then leaves town. Colette plays the recording through the city's public address system. The revenants gather and are captured (or whatever), and Agatha can return to Paris.

Unless Agatha does something like this, Colette and Paris will never be safe. Because someone else -- presumably Lunevka, but possibly Zola -- obviously has the Command Voice, otherwise those revenants wouldn't be a problem (and all those Parisians and Parisiennes wouldn't have been wasped in the first place).

So you're suggesting that main characters take time to actually talk to each other and explain what's going on so as to clear up or avoid any misunderstandings? And when was the last time that happened? :-)

From:

murgatroyd666

Yeah, that's crazy talk!

From:

skybreak

Haha, yup!

Soooo, next stop England?

She apparently assumes that one or more of the people she's expelling may be able to command revenants and might be the Other or working for her. Otherwise expelling her best defenders makes no sense. If she knew that Agatha has that power and is inches away from being under the Other's control, she'd probably kill her on the spot. (Regretfully, of course.)

Terebithia just told Zola that Colette will "deduce your place in this... and destroy you" and "now my girl, I'll get you out of here" - date=20170623

With real enemies working inside Paris the last thing Colette needs is her frenemies playing their own games as well.

Also, Agatha and Martellus arrived in Paris on date=20150522 which is over 2 years ago so probably their visas are now expired.

Posting time and story time are nowhere near equal. It hasn't been two days, let alone three, since Simon gave Agatha her 72 hours.

From:

Ah yes, I know. I was just being silly :-)

Also, this is page 123, so the Professors are probably due to end this volume and start a new one shortly.

Indeed! The page count and the abrupt eviction from Paris are both strong indications that Agatha is about to depart for London within the next two weeks (of our time).
