Piper rushed down the hall and met Prue who was pacing back and forth, "Prue?"

Prue turned and looked at Piper who instantly pulled her into a hug,

"What happened?"

"I don't know, Andy is in there right now trying to find out."

"Can we see her?"

"He's trying that too." Prue kept her arm around Piper as they both sat down.

Piper didn't know what to say. She got the call from Prue saying something had happened to Phoebe, but that was all she knew.

"So you and Andy? What are you going to do?"

Prue closed her eyes, "I don't know Piper. It just seems ever since this whole thing. all we've done is fight. He's always at the office. I think he's avoiding me." She kept her eyes on the door, "I don't want to lose him Piper."

Piper pulled Prue into another hug, but quickly broke away when the door opened.

"Andy what's going on?" Piper asked as he walked in the room

"Seems Phoebe was jumped on her way from lunch."

"What!?" Prue was pissed.

"They beat her up pretty bad too. I can get you guys into see her, but only for a few minutes."

"Ok, don't they have guards or anything in here. How the hell does this happen?" Prue glared at him

"The warden is looking into it. She thinks one or more of the guards where paid to look the other way."

"Great!" Prue turned from Andy trying to get her emotions in order.

Piper looked at Andy then to Prue as she placed her hand gently on her sisters back, "Come on. Lets go see her."

Andy led the two of them down the hall towards the infirmary. "Warden, these are Phoebes sisters."

"I am very sorry. I have already suspended one guard and I am looking into what happened."

"I want to see her." Prue's voice was cold she didn't care what this woman did, her sister was in her custody and this is what happened."

"Of course, right this way." She led them a bit further down the hall and stopped at another door. "I can give you fifteen minutes. No more." She pushed open the door and let them go in.

Piper gasped at the sight of Phoebe laying on the bed. She had a bandage around the top of her head and one arm set in a cast.

"I'm assuming you're her sisters?" the doctor looked up at the two women that entered the room.

"Yes. How bad is it." Prue couldnt take her eyes off her baby girl.

The doctor looked down at her chart. "From what I've seen she broke her arm in two places, several cracked and or broken ribs. There is some swelling around her kidney where it looks like she was kicked repeatedly. I'm waiting on the result of her x-rays so some of this is guess work. She had some internal bleeding that we were able to get under control."

"Has she said anything?" Piper moved and sat in the chair next to Phoebe and gently took her one free hand in hers, careful not to disturb the IV in the back of her hand.

"She did wake once. Though we have been keeping her sedated. She's in a great deal of pain. I knew you were coming so she hasn't had anything for a bit. She could wake up while you're here."

"She'll be ok though, right?" Prue looked hopeful at the young woman beside her, she wasn't much older then the oldest Halliwell.

"I don't see why she won't make full recovery. She'll be sore for awhile, and I'd say slow, but she'll be ok."

She placed the clipboard back at the end of the bed, "If you need anything just call me. I'll be in my office."

"Thank you doctor." Piper gave her a grateful smile before turning her attention back to her sister.

Prue say across from Piper and ran her hand carefully through Phoebes hair. She could feel the clotted blood that was still in it. "God Piper."

"Prue she's going to be fine."

"Well who ever did this isn't going to be when I find out."

"Prue. Let Andy and everyone here deal with it." Piper looked up at Prue. she knew her sisters anger when it came to any of them geting hurt.

"I did last time Piper. Andy said she was not getting out of her cell. We both know it was that psycho that did this."

"P..Pwue?"

Prue looked down and into the brown eyes of her baby sister. "Hey you?"

"Hi." Phoebe moved her head slightly to see Piper.

"I'm not going to ask how your feeling sweetie." Piper leaned down and placed a kiss on Phoebe's cheek.

"I think my pinkie is ok." She gave them a slight smile, as she tried to lighten the mode.

Prue took Phoebes fingers from her casted arm and gave them a slight squeeze. "Honey, do you know who did this?"

Phoebe closed her eyes. She didn't want to think about it, but she wasn't going to sit there and let it happen again. "Jacqueline Monaco."

Piper looked over at Prue and told her with her eyes to keep it in check.

"Sweetie you need to tell the warden." Prue said as she brushed the hair around her sisters face

"And Andy." Piper added in as she looked at Prue.

"Can you tell us what happened honey?" Prue asked with concern.

"It happened so fast. They just grabbed me and threw me against the wall. The first hit was right in my lower back. I didn't even have a chance to set for a fight."

"So she can't even fight you on your own." Prue felt her anger inside. Here sister was beat up because of her. She knew this animal was getting to Phoebe to get to Andy and she was doing it through her.

"Well after the first hit she probably could have."

"Cheap shot Phoebs." Piper squeezed her hand.

"Maybe. I just wanted it all to stop. Every time she would see me, this would happen. And it seemed every time I fought back I was the one that got caught."

"That was why you were in solitary whenever we came to visit?"

"Yeah. I think she did it then on purpose. I miss you guys." The tear started down her face before she even finished her sentence.

"Oh honey, we miss you too. And we are going to get you out of here." Prue spoke with a resolve.

"Prue you can't use magic to break me out of prison." She went to push herself up, but the pain in her side ripped through her like a hot knife.

"Whoa easy. And no I can't use magic for that Phoebs, but I can to find out who set you up."

Piper made small circles on the back of Phoebe's hand. "That guy from the club."

Prue looked up at her. "What guy? The one that wants to buy it?"

"Wait, what? You're not selling P3?" Phoebe protested as once again all she felt was the pain.

"No, but a guy keeps coming in and making me an offer. Last time he insinuated that for your sac, I should sell. Next thing we know we are getting a call that you had the crap kicked out of you."

"Demon?" Phoebe asked

"Could be."

The door opened slightly, "That's time ladies." The warden stepped in the room and made her way to the bed.

Phoebe held on to her sister's hands tight. She didn't want them to go.

"Well come see you soon sweetie. And we'll figure this out." Piper bent down and gave her sister a kiss. "I love you."

"Love you more."

Prue wiped away the tears on her sister face. "Stay out of trouble."

"I'm trying." She gave her sister a weak smile, "Prue. You and Andy? Are you ok?"

Prue didn't say anything at first. "Just a bump in the road sweetie. Don't you worry about it."

"It's not his fault Prue."

"Get some rest." She leaned down and gave Phoebe a kiss, "I love you. Get better." Prue wiped away another tear that was starting down her baby sister face.

"Love you too." Phoebe replied as more tears came.

--- ---- --- ----

He sat patiently waiting in the large office.

"Everything on schedule?" he asked as she walked in the office.

"I would say in a few weeks, once Phoebe get out of the infirmary, or just before. You could make an offer on P3, and I don't think Piper Halliwell will say no this time."

"How bad was it?"

"Few broken ribs. Broken arm. Several stitches. There is some concern with her kidneys as well." She swung her legs over his lap and guided herself towards him, "This is working out better then we planned isn't it?"

He slid his hands along her legs as her lips met his, "Far better. And this Monaco chick. Is crazy enough to make this all happen for us. You just need to get her back in the yard."

"Still working on it. Though after what she did to that little witch. It's proving a little more difficult, but I will. And when she does. Well the witch won't stand a chance."

He smiled knowing that he was so close to destroying the Power of Three. "First we will ruin their lives. And then we will take them."
