A few minutes later, Piper was all ready and everyone was sitting in the car.

"Where should we go? Any ideas?" Prue asked as she buckled her seatbelt.

"How about Starbucks?"

"Starbucks sounds good."

"Everyone knows you need a cup of coffee." Smirked Phoebe. Piper rested her head against the window as she watched her sisters.
Phoebe leaned forward from the backseat and looked at Piper. "Are you okay? Maybe we should stay home."

"No, no. I'm fine. Let's just go." She said as she turned the radio on and began surfing though the different stations. Phoebe looked at Prue and shrugged. "Let's go." She said as she sat back down in the back seat and strapped her seatbelt on.

Prue started bopping her head to a song on the radio and Piper was just staring straight ahead. Phoebe glanced from one to another, trying to figure out what to say to start up a conversation. She scratched the back of her neck.

"Is Leo going to come back for lunch or something, later?" Piper didn't move. "Piper?" Phoebe lightly nudged the back of the seat Piper was in. "Piiipppeeerr?"

Piper blinked a few times and shook her head. "Huh? What?" Piper looked confused as she looked backwards at Phoebe. "Nothing, never mind." Phoebe signed and leaned back in her seat. "It was nothing important." Piper shrugged and looked forward again.

It was a short drive to the closest Starbucks. All three girls got out of the car and walked inside. "Great, a long line." Prue muttered as she looked around.

"What do you expect? It's a Saturday morning." Piper said. "We'll just have to wait."

"See any tables?" Prue asked, looking around.

"Maybe we should just order to go.." Phoebe muttered.

"I don't see any tables." Piper groaned as she looked around. "This day just keeps getting better and better…now I can't even get a cup of coffee."

"Piper, calm down, we'll find a table."

Piper looked at Prue with an 'oh, really?' look. Prue sighed. "Eventually, anyway." she added. Soon after a table finally opened up – seeing the people leave Phoebe dashed towards the table and sat down before another group of people could. She smiled innocently at the group and waved to her sisters. Prue and Piper quickly walked over and took a seat. "Well…at least we can sit down now." Phoebe said, feeling proud.

"I guess I'll go order, what do you two want?"

"Latte's sound good" Phoebe said as she set her purse down next to her.

"I'll have dark coffee." Piper said, glancing up at Prue as she pulled out a candy from her coat pocket and popped it into her mouth. Prue nodded and walked to the line.

Piper sighed. "I wonder what Leo's doing." She asked, not looking at Phoebe.

"He's probably coming right now"

"Yeah, I'm sure he is, no doubt about it. "

Phoebe sighed and tapped her fingers on the table. She glanced around the coffee shop and noticed someone in a dark corner watching her. He had dark black shimmering hair that was parted in the middle that was cut long. He was leaning against the wall, one ankle crossed over the other. As soon as Phoebe started staring back at him he quickly turned his head and pretended to look elsewhere. Phoebe shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She slowly moved her chair closer to Piper, trying to look casual.

"Piper? Do you see that guy over there?" Phoebe slowly nodded her chin in the young man's direction. Piper looked over her shoulder and towards the back of the room. "Slowly!" Phoebe snapped. "He's been watching us."

"Watching us?" Piper asked with an arched eyebrow. "Phoebe, you are over reacting. He's not even looking in our direction."

"Well, he was." Phoebe sighed heavily and focused her eyes on Piper. "Does he look familiar?"

"Familiar how?" Piper asked, still looking towards the young man.

The young man looked towards their direction again and locked eyes with Piper. They each stood there, eyes locked onto each other for several moments before Piper realized Phoebe was still talking to her.

"I swear I've seen him somewhere before. I just can't place it, what about you? Have you seen him before? Think Prue will recognize him?" Phoebe asked in a rush as she sat up slightly in her chair, trying to see Prue's head over the large crowd of people in line.

"I don't know. Maybe, considering she has gone through more of the alphabet than we have."

Phoebe snickered. "So sad, but true." Then she suddenly stopped looking for Prue and sat up straight in her chair, her face starting to drain of its peach color.

"Phoebe? Are you alright?" Piper asked, looking worried. "Maybe I should go get Prue."
"Piper, he just talked to me." Phoebe said in a hushed whisper.

"What? Who? I'm the only one close enough to you to have an actual conversation. Everyone else is either to far or to loud."

"That man over there. The one that's been watching us." Phoebe's words came out slow and soft, Piper could barley make out what Phoebe was saying because of the large crowd in the coffee shop and all the noise they were making. Piper knew Phoebe was over reacting and being paranoid, but she didn't know what else she could do.

"I better go get Prue." Piper instantly stood up from her chair and jogged over to the line and searched for Prue.

"Prue! C'mon! We're leaving!"

Prue instantly stepped out of line with a confused look on her face. "What? Why?"

"It's Phoebe. We need to leave." Piper said, jogged up closer towards Prue.

"What's wrong with Phoebe?" Prue asked, looking even more confused as the time went on. Prue stood on her tiptoes and tried to locate Phoebe and their table. "I don't see her. Where were we sitting again?" Prue asked, searching the tops of everyone's head that was in the shop.

"We were sitting by that window over there." Piper pointed in the direction of where their table was. Then her face became pale, there were people she didn't recognize sitting there.

"Where's Phoebe?"

"She must have gotten up when you did. Maybe she's out by the car." Prue said as she started walking towards the exit doors.

"Maybe." Piper muttered as she started to follow her sister, and then she suddenly remembered that young man standing against the wall that Phoebe had been so sure that he was watching them. Her head shot up and she started to look around the shop for any sign of the mysterious stranger.

"Piper, c'mon!" Prue shouted over all the noise.

The young man was nowhere to be found. Piper instantly became very nervous. She then ran towards the exit doors and pushed them open as she stumbled out onto the sidewalk with Prue close behind.

"Wow, someone's in a rush." Prue mumbled to herself as she tried to keep up.

Piper looked to the spot where the car was parked. It was still there.

"The car is still parked. But I don't see Phoebe."

Prue looked at Piper with a baffled look. "Did you expect Phoebe to drive off leaving us stranded here? Of course the car is still parked where we left it." Then it suddenly hit her what Piper had just said. "Phoebe isn't there?" Prue jogged up to their driver's seat window and pressed her face against the glass.

"Your right, no Phoebe. Where do you think she went?"

"There was a young man in the coffee shop. Phoebe was sure he was staring at us. He was making her nervous." Piper said as she rubbed her forehead in a pathetic attempt to calm herself down. "She said he had talked to her, but he was all the way across the room."

"That is strange. Maybe she overheard someone else talking closer to her and just assumed it was him." Prue replied. "Let's go back inside, maybe we just didn't see her."

Piper highly doubted that, but she reluctantly nodded. "She couldn't have gotten very far". She said as she turned around and walked through the door and back into Starbucks. "Especially if she didn't go anywhere." Prue replied as she walked behind Piper. They both searched high and low, but there was no sign of Phoebe. They were both starting to get really nervous.

"This doesn't make sense." Prue groaned as she spotted an employee filling up some napkin dispensers. She walked up to him and politely tapped him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, but did you see this woman leave a few minutes ago?" she asked as she showed him a picture of Phoebe from her wallet.

"Yeah. Sure, she left with some guy. She gave me a large tip."

Prue and Piper exchanged worried glances. "Did he have dark hair?" Piper asked, the Starbucks employee nodded his head. "Did you see which way they went?" Prue asked as she put her wallet back into her purse.

"No." He replied as someone called him from the back of the shop. "Sorry I couldn't help you more. " he shrugged and walked through a door and into the back.

"We should go home and call Darryl, he'd know what to do." Piper said, she didn't even wait for Prue before she headed towards the front door again. "This doesn't make sense!" Prue shouted at Piper as she tried to catch up to her. "Phoebe isn't stupid, she wouldn't just walk off with some guy."

"She isn't stupid." Piper said firmly. "She said that this man talked to her. But I didn't hear a thing. At least, I don't think I did." Piper said slowly, trying to think back on the incident. "It was far to loud in the room to hear anything, really. I could barley hear Phoebe when she spoke to me, and she was sitting two inches from me." Prue walked around the side to the drivers seat and opened the car door. Piper opened the passenger side door and got into the car.

"So are you sure you heard Phoebe correctly then if you could barley hear her? I mean, maybe you thought she said that the strange man that was staring at her was speaking to her when in fact she said something completely different." Leave it to Prue to try and be logical, Piper thought as she buckled her seat belt. Prue turned the car on and buckled her own seatbelt. "We should call Darryl. My cell is in the glove compartment." Prue said as she pulled out of the parking spot. "I'm going to drive around for a while. Maybe she's walking around somewhere." Piper nodded and opened the glove compartment and started rummaging around it in search for the phone. "Are you sure it's in here?" she asked as she continued to pull stuff out. "It is." Prue said firmly, "I guess it just got buried." Piper replied she was starting to calm down, like Prue said Phoebe wasn't stupid. She wouldn't just leave her sisters in the middle of a coffee shop and walk out with some random guy.
