Pain, tears & Lies.

195 reviews already!!!! 5 remain until I finally receive my long awaited 200th review! That's a big thing for me to have had so many people review this story, so I thank every single person who helped this story progress and become as popular as ever. Moving on…

Last chapter, an insight into Leo's back-story up until he met Piper was finally revealed. However, despite that chapter being 'Part 1' I will not follow it up yet. You will see why when the chapter comes, and it will make better sense and fit together properly. So whilst unfortunately you won't find out why such a small problem of self harming, has involved the big secret organisation of the SAS, other stuff will become clear.

What will happen next? Prue has yet to awaken from being knocked out by her "lover", Andy, as she found out his secret. He then drove off after getting Piper knocked over and then killing a teenager for his car. Leo knows Paige's secret, but when she insists she's good, he demands she remove the device inside him if she hopes for him to reveal nothing. Darryl however was conscious during this stage and also knows Paige has a secret… he is then quick to realise Victor has a secret.

Phoebe & Cole however run in with the SAS, until one of the members revealed that Victor was the one who framed Leo and told the SAS that Leo was the cause for people in hospitals being cut up and killed- similar to his self harming. But was it really him or is Victor lying? If so, why? Not only this, but Cole & Phoebe emotionally split because Cole refuses to reveal his secret which may or may not intertwine with Andy's by how they've acted with each other.

Elsewhere, Cheryl and ex step son, Kurt, have arrived in San Francisco to save Leo, but spot several SAS members coming for him- Leo still having the tracking device in him.

What will become of the group? It's time to find out after such a long wait!

Chapter 36

Death in numbers

Paige is tending to a now unconscious Leo, Prue, also unconscious, laid out behind her. "Ok… Easy does it now" she tells herself taking in a deep breath, nervously. At that moment, she picks up a small knife and moves it close to Leo's stomach, the tracking device sticking out. Taking a deep breath, she hovers the knife closer when suddenly hearing a moan behind her. Turning her head, Prue begins to awaken. "Prue…" she says in a gasp, delighted she's alright.

"What's happening? Where am I?" she asks, the rain from earlier still dripping onto the sofa and carpet. Paige smiles, when suddenly Piper bursts into the manor.

"Dad?! I need you, now!!" she screams. Paige, frightened, turns her head. Piper suddenly collapses onto the ground, so Paige throws the knife onto the side table and runs over to her.

"Oh my god, Piper!" she says startled and worried.

"Piper?" asks Prue confused and in pain. Her back aching from the fall whilst her head throbs from being hit by Andy, the memories of that moment flooding back into her, enraging her. Attempting to sit up, she gets faint and lies back down again.

"I'm here!" calls Victor's voice arriving in the dining room, until seeing his daughter collapsed. "Piper!!!" he yells, putting the bucket on the table and running towards his daughter. Paige desperately tries to keep Piper awake. Cuts are spread on her arms and face, bruises already formed.

"What happened?" asks Paige worried.

"Andy…"

"What about him?" comes an angered voice. Turning, Prue slowly gets up, steadying herself.

"Prue!" beams Victor with relief. As he goes to go to her, she holds her palm up to stop him, to tell him she's fine. She looks at her sister and feels a pain in her heart but fears it was Andy's doing. Pain and anger fuels her stomach.

"What did he do?" she asks sternly.

"He hit me… I got ran over"

"What?!!" yells Victor infuriated.

"He also…" Piper gasps from the pain, Paige & Victor support her. Prue doesn't move, although distraught by her sisters predicament, knows she has Paige & Victor's support. "He killed a teen for his car". Tears begin to form in her eyes, Paige covering her mouth with emotion.

"I'll find him" comes a voice and everyone turns to see Darryl placing the cloth on the rim of the bucket full of water. "Now…" he says and begins to walk off to the kitchen.

"I'm coming!" calls out Prue.

"Don't be stupid!" says Victor.

"He knocked me out and got my sister run over… I'm going"

"Well can you walk?" asks Darryl.

"I'll manage"

"Ok, we need to get to the police station so I can get a car. I never thought Andy would- he's a police officer… well… was"

"Enough!" shouts Prue sternly, "Lets go" she says and walks over to him, both leaving by the back. Police sirens can be heard from outside as well as ambulance sirens, all going towards the dead teen down the street.

"Stubborn like her father" sighs Piper getting lifted by both her father and new found friend Paige. "Ah!" she moans as a shooting pain strikes her stomach. Her kneels buckle as her entire dead weight lands on the pair. With a struggle, they manage to move her to the chair and sit her down. Tensing her body, she grunts with pain.

"Your be alright" smiles Victor, tears welling up in his eyes as he looks down at his injured daughter. Paige with concern looks over to Leo and back to Piper. Piper suddenly finds Leo asleep and widens her eyes.

"Leo!" she calls moving her body, but is sent back down from the pain. She begins to cry, the pain proving too much. Victor held his daughter firmly and squeezed her shoulders gently to tell her he's there for her. "Is he alright?" she asks worried.

"Lets just focus on you, alright?" asks Victor smiling through the tears. He wanted so much for the subject to be lifted away from Leo; he wished he would simply die.

"Victor, stay with Piper, I need to remove the tracking device from Leo" says Paige causing Piper to look up shocked which sends another pain to her stomach. Grunting, she grabs hold of Paige's wrist preventing her from getting further.

"Excuse me?" she asks, "He has a tracking device? How do you know?" she asks. Paige back tracks in thought, attempting to pick a reason.

"I heard from one of the SAS people… yeah. I use to be a doctor much like Leo, so I know what to do" she smiled, her lie unconvincing but with Piper's pain, she didn't argue and let go of Paige. "Don't worry alright? He's asleep and won't feel a thing, but if we don't get rid of that device then the SAS will find him"

"I don't know" says Piper unsure, "I mean they should know he'd be at the manor right? That would be the first place they would go to. Why aren't they here yet?"

"I don't know, but whatever the case, we need that device out of him sooner rather than later"

Piper nods despite a bad feeling in her gut and it wasn't the pain from the car which hit her. Paige turns to grab the scalpel.

"Is it wise? Maybe we should wait until we get someone who works in the hospital or something?" asks Victor.

"No!" shouts Piper through the pain, her teeth grinded together as she attempts to fight through the pain. "Let Paige do it. Listen I think I may have a rib damaged or something, this hurts to much" cries Piper. Victor reluctantly nods his head as Piper looks over at Paige. The seriousness showed clearly and through the pain she spoke out in a stern but concerned tone, "Go"

Paige nodded and went over to Leo, grabbing the scalpel. Grabbing what she needed, she took in a deep breath and drew the scalpel closer to Leo's stomach…

"Hurry!" shouts Kurt as Cheryl fumbles through a large brown duffle bag. Kurt continues to fly towards the fastly approaching SAS members towards the manor. "You found it?" he asks her flying around the manor now.

"No!" she shouts back at him.

"Well hurry it now!" he yells and she shuns him a look of anger. Looking back into the bag, her hands finally find what she was after.

"Got it!" she says.

"Hand it to me" he says more calm but still rushed. She pulls out a small green grenade.

"You sure about it? Your flying this thing, what if you miss?" she asks.

"Ok fine, you do it. I'll get closer and you throw it. They need to be out the way" nods Kurt and Cheryl nods back. After finding out that Leo wasn't the one behind the tragedy at the hospital she had been filled with guilt and regret. As Kurt begun to fly the helicopter closer to the ground, it quickly caught the SAS' attention. Looking up, dust was swept up from the floor and tossed about in the air. The SAS stop in their tracks, the manor closer now, down the road.

"Who is that?!" yells one of them. The 9 members admitting that they do not know.

"Ready?" asks Kurt and Cheryl nods serious. "Good, now!" he yells. She pulls out the clip and with a forceful throw, sends the grenade hurtling towards the members who gasp with shock.

"Go up!" yells Cheryl when one of the SAS members pulls out a gun and shoots at the helicopter. One of the bullets hits one of the leads which begin to leak fuel. One also hits the windscreen. Shattering the supposed bullet proof glass, it struck Kurt in the shoulder. "No!!" screams Cheryl. Kurt yells with pain as his hands come off the wheel making the helicopter go out of control.

The SAS members try to run whilst Cheryl attempts to bring the helicopter up but the grenade goes off. An explosion erupts in the city sending the SAS members flying and smashing into cars and houses. Nearby cars which were caught in it suddenly explode, the debris hitting structures and houses, destroying walls and rooms. Screams erupt in the city, car alarms go off ringing loud in the city. As for the helicopter, it too got caught in the explosion sending it a few feet into the air before exploding.

The metal shards from the helicopter fly at fall speed in all directions. People scream, more houses are damaged, the death toll rises with passers by in the street. The large wings swung over to a newly built statue, shattering it in half, its rock and debris scattering everywhere. Nearby houses were on fire, people were crying, people were screaming… Blood was everywhere…

Phoebe storms out of the secret hide away with vengeance. Cole barely follows her, limping as he attempts to keep up with her. Michael had just revealed her father framed Leo for the incident at the hospital. First she was distraught, then confused but now – she's just pissed! Walking through some debris, Cole manages to grab hold of her. "Let go of me" she demands but persistently he doesn't. Phoebe is forced to tug her arm out the way forcefully but when she twists her body; she falls to the floor clutching her already injured ankle. Grunting with pain, Cole attempts to help her. "Don't!" she practically screams at him through gritted teeth, her forefinger raised at him in the air trembling.

"I want to help" he tells her, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Oh don't cry" she tells him as he collapses to his knees, clutching his stomach and right leg. "Cole stop it" she tells him, she herself getting emotional seeing Cole crying.

"Can you blame me?" he asks her through the tears, "Everything has just become too much Phoebe… But despite losing my brother, despite the pain I suffered… The worst was losing you" he tells her which causes Phoebe to cry.

"Cole…"

"No… just don't ok? You were right to do what you did… I've lied to you with my secret"

"Then tell me" she pleads, her tears streaming down her dusty face. "Please"

"I can't" he tells her in a heart aching whisper. Phoebe shuts her eyes with distraught and sorrow. She wished so much he'd tell her, it was killing her inside, but he still refused, still pulled away from her. Did he really love her? If he did, wouldn't he have told her? What's he afraid of she thought to herself as she just cried, they both did. Sirens filling the air, people's screaming and crying. They both hated this, everything. Phoebe looks up at Cole, the tears streaming down her face and soaking her clothes as they land. Combing her fingers through the hair from the top to the bottom to get her sticking hair away, she speaks with sobs.

"If you love me… if you mean it when you said that losing me was the worst pain then why can't you tell me your secret when you know that, that is the only reason I broke up with you?" she asked, regretting it, fearful of the response she might get.

"Because if I told you when we were dating, you'd break up with me… If I tell you now, you'll never wanna' know about me, ever" he tells her but she shakes her head.

"No… I love you!" she tells him crying in coughing sobs. She was too weak to wipe her tears away, there was no point. There were too much, too much to deal with at the moment. Cole looks to the dirty floor to his side, his tears splashing upon it's dark blackness.

"I love you too" he whispers, his horsy throat paining him.

"Then prove it"

"I can't! I can never tell you what I've done and what I keep doing"

"But Cole…"

"It's over" he tells her calmer and serious, his crying also calming down. She frowns confused at him, her tears beginning to take a break but her sobs don't.

"What do you mean?" she asks him shaking her head.

"Everything… I don't want to see you again" it cut through her like a blade as her lips parted shocked, her frown deepening.

"Why?" she asks dying inside, her heart being shot.

"I only bring you hurt… I only bring everyone hurt. I'm leaving San Francisco"

"No!" she screams at him. Cole begins to stand up but Phoebe grabs his arm tight. "No!! Please don't leave me!!!" she pleads, she begs, her tears returning. Almost choking her, her breath unable to get any moment to breathe. Cole snaps his arm away much like what Phoebe done to him knocking her onto her back. "Please Cole, I love you!" she cries, "I'm sorry I broke up… I don't want to… Please!"

Cole doesn't reply, he just turns his back on her. Shutting his eyes with the distraught and regret he was feeling, he begun to limp away from her. "No!!!" he hears her yell with pain and distraught. He doesn't stop, he continues to get away from her, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry" he whispers gently.

"Come back Cole, please come back!!" she screams at him. She doesn't listen as he gets around a corner. "I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screams injuring her throat. Cole fails to hear her as he continues to limp off and Phoebe collapses onto the rubble, brawling her eyes out, a puddle of her own tears. She hits the ground, palm down through the pain. "I'm pregnant" she whispers as Michael suddenly steps out and she looks up at him.

"Come…" he tells her holding out his hand for her…

"You sure about this?" asks Darryl walking through the driveway with Prue and she nods. Her face is continuously serious, strained, intense. The thoughts of what she wanted to do with Andy ran through her mind. Thoughts she had never thought of before, thoughts of murder, pain and agony. Darryl looks worried at her but he too has his serious face as he nods at her. Walking away from the gathered ambulance around the teenager following the tyre marks made by Andy, Darryl's arm snaps to his side across Prue stopping her abruptly.

"Hey!" she yells at him. "What is your problem?" she demands until noticing the fear and concern on Darryl's stoned face. Looking forward, they see the marching SAS members. Darryl quickly grabs Prue's arm and pulls her off behind some nearby bushes. "Did they see us?" she asks worried, her anger and rage leaving her as it's replaced by fear knowing what the SAS are capable of.

"I don't think so" he says unsure himself. Darryl & Prue poke their heads around the bush when one SAS member notices them.

"There's two of them!!" he yells in a strong but deep voice. The pair widens their eyes when the helicopter piloted by Kurt begins to circle them low. The dust scattered, the SAS now focused on the helicopter as Prue and Darryl came out of their hiding place, covering their faces. The SAS members begun to fire at the helicopter after the dropping of a grenade.

"Get away, now!!" yells Darryl at Prue and they both turn when the explosion sets of a domino effect with other cars and the helicopter itself. Shards from cars, structures and the helicopter scattered and flew in all directions. From the impact of the explosion, it sent Prue and Darryl off their feet and a few feet forward before falling harshly on the ground. Shards flying over their heads narrowly avoiding them. Screams erupted, care alarms were set off.

"Whoa" says Prue coughing from the dust around them, "What was that about?" she asks leaning up arching her back. Sitting up now, she waved her arms in the air to clear the smoke and dust. "Darryl can you hear me?" she asks, practically shouting through the noise. Feeling for him she felt something wet, frowning confused, she pulled her hands to her face and found thick bright red blood on them. Her eyes wide with shock, she called out in fear "Darryl!"

The smoke cleared further as she finally found where the red blood had come from- Darryl. A shard from the helicopter had penetrated him through the stomach. Blood was gushing everywhere and had formed a river from underneath him.

"Darryl!!!" screams Prue, tears welling up in her eyes. The shard was like a stake; long at the end but coming down into a sharp jagged point.

"Prue…" he gasps coughing up blood. Prue rolls him gently so he could look at her. His eyes were full with tears, but they were weak, diluted. His entire face was strained from the pain, the oncoming death which he could feel.

"Yes?" she asked crying.

"Get him" he coughed more blood, his voice was low and shaky. He begun to tremble as Prue's crying grew. She held his shoulder. He took one final breath before falling lifeless to the floor, dead. Prue cried immensely over Darryl's body, coughing sobs. Gently she kissed his head and held it, continuing to cry when she suddenly felt the click of a gun and then the point at the side of her head. She looked forward in fear and distraught but didn't move…

To be continued…

There it is… another new chapter and one of my faves. So much has happened; Piper is in more pain than she thought as Paige begins to take the device from Leo… will she succeed or will Victor manage to stop her?

Next, Kurt & Cheryl made a risky move when they attacked what looks to be the last of the SAS but it came with a price! Kurt got shot but the worst was yet to come when their fuel pipe was shot and they too got blown up in the explosion. Did they survive and find a way out or were they next to die along with the SAS?

Thirdly, the distraught and heart breaking moment between Cole & Phoebe saw Cole leave Phoebe for good. Insisting his secret would cause more heartache, he left as Phoebe revealed she was pregnant- unheard by Cole. What are your thoughts on this shocking revelation?

Lastly, Prue & Darryl were caught in the explosion by the helicopter but Darryl was killed by one of the shards. If that wasn't bad enough, a gun was pulled to Prue's skull… but by who?

Please submit to me your thoughts and don't forget that I may get my 200th review so look to see which review you will make. If it's the 200th, please make it big and memorable :D I have big plans for next chapter which many of you will enjoy I'm sure. So please review and next chapter should be up soon…
