Chapter Eleven Trial and Error.
"Right, I've had enough, I need fluid!" Phoebe moaned.
"Phoebe, moaning isn't going to get us out of here any faster!" Piper snarled.
"Then what is? Paige?"
"Calm down we'll find a way!" Prue comforted.
"Psssst!" A voice said.
"Did you hear that?" Prue asked.
"Yes I did Prue..." Piper looks around.
"Hello?" Phoebe calls.
"It's me Jeremy!" A voice says.
"Oh my god! Jeremy! WHERE?" Piper panics.
"No! Not that Jeremy. Jeremy Whittle. I'm here to get you out. I'll make a distraction for as long as I can and you can use this crowbar to get out the window. Be quick!" Jeremy slid a crowbar under the gates.
"How long have we got?" Phoebe asked.
"About 3 minutes then 1-2 before they realise your gone. Get yourself out first Phoebe. Your baby is so special." Then he began making a distraction.
Prue grabbed the crowbar and began pulling at the handles.
"Pull harder Prue!" Piper yelled.
"I'm trying!" Prue said breaking the first lock out of twelve.
Piper looked around the room making sure no-one was coming.
"Why would he do that for us?" Phoebe wondered as Prue cracked the 2nd lock.
"I have no idea let's just get out of here!" Piper peered over Prue's shoulder checking the progress.
"How long do we have left Pheebs?" Prue asked cracking the 3rd lock.
"2 and a half minutes." Phoebe conformed.
Outside the commotion was growing strong.
"Prue, hurry!" Piper panicked looking at the fight outside.
"I'm trying the further I get down the harder it is to crack!" Prue groaned ripping the 4th lock off.
"Ok, guys we'll be out of here if we panic less!" Phoebe said.
"Ok." Piper rolled her eyes.
"Isn't it weird I'm telling you guys to calm down now?" Phoebe laughed as Prue did the 5th lock.
"I wonder if Wyatt and Chris are ok..." Piper bit her lip.
"Of course they will be! Phoebe how long is left?" Prue said struggling for the 6th lock.
"Just under 2 minutes." Phoebe answered.
Outside the fighting was stronger.
"Oh god. I can't do lock number 7." Prue struggled.
"Let's try all together." Piper grabbed the crow bar too. As Phoebe pulled Piper. The lock came flying out.
"Ok lock 8!" Prue said grabbing the crow bar again with Piper.
Phoebe was constantly looking at her watch and stroking her bump. The thoughts echoed her baby was meant for something special.
"Lock 9!" Piper called.
"1 and a half minute! And we need to climb down as well!" Phoebe reminded them.
"It's too hard, Phoebe help us!" Prue asked.
Phoebe grabbed the other end and pushed.
"1. 2. 3. GO!" The lock nipped Piper's hand.
"Ouch!" Piper exclaimed.
"C'mon Piper let's keep going!" Phoebe ordered.
Piper wiped the blood away and got lock 10.
"1 minute! 2 locks we can do it!" Phoebe helped.
"PULL HARDER!" Prue screeched.
The outside was beginning to die down. Lock 11 came off.
"Final lock, we can do it!" Piper's face went red with effort.
It came off.
"30 seconds, let's get out!" Phoebe got up on the window ledge.
"OH MY GOD IT'S SO FAR DOWN!" Phoebe screamed.
Prue looked down.
"Just get on that window ledge below it's only 5 foot down!" Prue enthused.
"And if I slip 120 foot!" Phoebe says.
"Phoebe jump!" Piper screams.
Phoebe goes down to the window ledge and slides in the window then shouts.
"15 seconds!"
Piper slides down trembling then get's through the window. Prue jumps down almost hitting Piper just as a guard opens the door.
Prue slides in the window and locks it.
"We did it!" Phoebe said hugging her sisters.
