The guns clicked into firing mode and Piper just looked out from the side of her eyes to see Georgia standing by an empty fireplace looking distraught. Her eyes were blinking constantly and Piper could tell she'd just been awoken. She was having to go against every gut reaction to go over and hug her until the end of time but the gun in her forehead was telling her strongly to resist.

"How do you feel now Piper?" Dan asked. "Tables have certainly turned haven't they?" Dan looked over to Leo with disgust. He was still sporting the bruise that was courtesy of Leo.

"Look Dan, why don't you just tell us what you want and we'll come to some sort of agreement. Just please let me have my daughter back. I'll do anything," Piper almost begged with Dan but she was desperate.

"Why don't we let her decide who she wants to come with hey?" Dan asked.

Piper knew this was a set-up. Without doubt Georgia would come to her mummy. Why wouldn't she?

"Ok, Georgia, who do you want to go home with? Me or daddy?" Piper asked sweetly as to not frighten her little girl. Piper's smile started to fade as Georgia didn't move from her bewildered spot by the fireplace. She stood perfectly still, her eyes were distant and glazed over. Piper had never seen her act this way.

"Georgia baby, it's me, mummy. What's wrong? Come home, come on," Piper looked on desperately then looked up to see the glee and pleasure the scene was causing for Dan. She looked back to her angel and kept the intense stare she was met with, desperation becoming the primary feeling in her body.

"How come you didn't rescue me? How come you didn't come looking for me?" The little girl who was keeping any sign of peace in the room alive spoke up. "If you really loved me, you would give me sweeties, you wouldn't have told me fibs about daddy not coming back and you wouldn't have let me be taken away."

"Honey, we've been looking for you since we found out you'd been taken. We don't give you sweets because I want you to keep that gorgeous smile when you're older and as for the taking away bit… Daddy was being mean. Don't fall for it baby, come home with me and Leo," Piper said, using her soft and motherly voice, still with a gun (which had now moved to the back of her neck) threatening her life. Georgia just looked to her side and that was when Piper noticed Chris, the little guy from the park, and his father Ray.

"What the hell is going on? Why are they here?" Piper asked frantically, realizing that this was more than a spontaneous move by Dan. He had planned it.

"Well, you see my dear Piper," Dan said in a patronizing voice and forcing her to sit down on the dust covered sofa, "Ever since that one night I started getting abnormally angry with you and using violence, which in my defense was necessary to shut you up, I have always had a backup plan. If I was ever to get in trouble with the police, Ray would get to know you well enough to be able to kidnap the little nipper and break me out of jail. And guess what? It worked. We used little Chris over there to get to know you, although I think his real name is Bernie. Not sure, we kidnapped him quite a while ago but he doesn't really have a clue. He thinks Ray is his father and that he has a little sister. Pathetic huh?"

Dan kneeled down on the sofa and put his lips roughly on to Pipers's cheek just before she violently pulled back. She felt the gun that Dan was holding to the back of her neck go down her spine and rest on the small of her back. "Stay still or die, you're going to make Leo over there jealous, got it?"

"You're so sick and twisted you know that?" Piper fought back, not caring much for anything apart from getting her daughter out safely.

"Ah-ah-ah, don't move and kiss me," Dan said, his hand forced Piper's face to look at him and she could truly see what was going on. He was on drugs. His pupils were dialated, his hands were trembling even though he wasn't nervous, being the one holding the gun.

Piper did what she was told and just let Dan kiss her. He was getting rough with her and all she could do was let him in front of everyone. Leo couldn't stand it. Dan was too focused on Piper to notice anything happening in the room and he thought he would go for it now, this being a time better than any other. The next few minutes went by very slowly and it all seemed like a bit of a blur to everyone concerned.

Leo's elbow made extreme contact with Ray's face, knocking him out cold. Dan heard this racket and stood up from the sofa letting Piper go from his grasp. Within a matter of 3 seconds, Leo had taken the gun the police had given him and pointed it at an armed and ready awaiting Dan. Silence stood and time seemingly stopped. All that was heard was a whimper. Dan backed away slowly to where Chris and Georgia stood holding hands. Both were terrified and pale in the face.

"Come on Georgia and Chris, you still want to come with your daddy's don't you?" He said looking down at them without moving the gun from his fixed point on Leo. Piper looked up to see Leo's face. It had never been so rigid since she set eyes on him.

She looked down to her waist and saw the gun that the police had given her. Dan's eyes were fixed on Leo and the children. This was her chance. Leo made one step towards him and Piper pulled out her gun and aimed. Dan used his only option left. He grabbed Georgia and used her as a human shield. Leo and Piper stood frozen to the spot. He wouldn't do that surely?

One shot was fired and one person collapsed to the floor.

AHHHHH! lol, please review and tell me your honest thoughts, thanks- Lishyxxx
