Chapter 9

When Phoebe woke up that Saturday morning she turned on the news. She wanted to see if they had any updates on the Charlie Madison disappearance. Most people didn't believe the witness story.

Franc had called the police and the school's president. Cops came, campus security, some Professors and The Dean. They all listened to the story and couldn't believe it. The police said they can't do anything anyway until he's been officially missing for 24 hours.

Phoebe had believed the story since after all she is a witch and seen stuff like that for the past two years.

When she got home she called out to Leo asking him to bring her sisters. When they orbed into her room, she told them what happen.

"Did you see the demon?" Prue asked

"No were you listening I said I was inside the bar when it happened. We don't know if it's a demon anyway"

"It sure as hell not human if he shimmered, blinked, or teleported the boy out of there" Piper told her.

"There's not a lot to go on. You're just going to have to keep a look out on the College. You say you didn't have any premonitions right"

"None, I touched his car the supposedly spot where they saw him disappear and nothing. If only his body would turn up then I could see what happen to him or who did it. In the mean time do you think there's demon on campus could they know I'm a charmed one?"

"Did you have any connection with that guy?" Piper asked.

"No I didn't know him"

"Then the disappearance is no connection to the charmed ones as far as we know. When we get back I'm going to ask the elders" Leo told her.

"You keep a look out on things so we can indentify this demon and scribe for it. We have to get back. Call us for anything ok?"

Phoebe nodded.

Piper hugged her be safe she told her.

Before they orbed Leo and Prue waved.

Phoebe lived in the campus apartments. 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. She liked it this way, private and all too herself. Plus right on campus only five min walk to her classes.

She turned back to the TV when the anchorman started to talk about the disappearance.

"Were reporting live on today's morning show about the disappearance of 19 year old, Charlie Maddison- son of millionaire Garrett Maddison and grandson of the senate of Michigan Bradlee Maddison. Maddison was last seen on Thursday of last week, October 18th sometime after 11:00 pm witness say. Maddison had gone to all his classes that day. The cops have no updates, were turning it over to Roger Shriver who is reporting live at the college."

"Good morning Roger"

"Good morning Dan- I am standing right outside the College. The President, Vice President, and Dean will not give any statements.

Charlie Maddison was last seen at a student's hangout owned by two students of the College. The witnesses' five men and two women were standing outside of the local hangout when Maddison arrived.

Some greeted him and then he left to go inside when something allegedly appeared in front of him, grabbed him by the throat, and then disappeared with Mr. Maddison. Bizarre story but all the witnesses swore this is what happen.

His car was found in the parking lot but cops don't know what to believe.

Mr. Maddison family has been to the College but no one will give a statement.

This is Roger Shriver asking is this a College Prank or is there something out there that have inhuman capabilities that kidnapped Mr. Maddison."

"Back to you Dan."

"Thank you Roger- our next top story a fire in--"

Phoebe clicked off the TV.

Still no leads.

Phoebe thought about the assembly they had at the College.

The President Desmond Mason addressed us like we were playing a prank. He was angered by all the publicity this was causing. He told us that classes would be off until the following week after next. The cheers in the audience after that statement infuriated him and he stormed out of there.

The students went crazy throwing a Charlie Maddison cook out on the soccer field and then that Friday night almost all the dorms and some campus houses hosted a Charlie Maddison come back party.

Phoebe hated it. Most of these people didn't even know him, they just were happy because his disappearance gave them a week off. They didn't even care that he was missing.

She was headed into her room to get a few hours asleep after all it was 7:30am something on a Saturday but her phone started ringing, her cell phone.

"Hello" she answered.

"Did I wake you?" A voice asked her.

She smiles loving the way Cole voice sounded on the phone. It was soothing and sexy – although the accent making it roughly husky and sharp, maybe that's due to waking up this morning she told herself.

"No you didn't, I was up watching the news"

"Cole do you believe what happen to Charlie?"

"I guess so. Some of the witnesses are my friends and they have no reason to lie" he sucked his teeth and sighed.

"The cops are going to turn it around and maybe say Zach or I caused it. They're going to gather the facts up and find out that Maddison was coming to fight me"

"Yes but so what, you had nothing to do with it or Zach, you were with Kendall and I the whole day."

Cole didn't comment, he didn't want to talk about it since he probably knew who took Maddison.

"I'm sorry I couldn't take you home that night. Things got so crazy, we had to lock up, answer questions and everything was so hectic. I really had a great time and wish we could do it again Phoebe."

"Yeah I had a great time too and would like that"

"Cole can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah?"

"Is that accent real or fake?" she giggled a little.

"It's real. I'm Australian"

"Oh well I like it. It sounds very sexy"

"Bye Cole, I'll call you later to meet up"

"Sure. See yah" he hanged up smiling too himself of the memory of her dancing in his arms.

The smile faded when he remembered the brotherhood meeting after the incident with Maddison.

Basically he just asked the demons if one of them took the boy.

All said no.

The demons were not to lie to a brother or in a meeting.

He told them again not to kill and left. He had to keep his eye on campus he was sure of it.
