Leo paced the manor. Piper was supposed to meet him at the manor, but that was over an hour ago. He used his whitelighter radar and knew that they were around, but he still didn't like it.
"Oh well, checking the club couldn't hurt." Leo said, then decided to call first. He didn't need to orb into a crowded room.
So, Leo picked up the phone and dialed the club.
"Your arm still hurt?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah. Piper doing any better?"
"Not worse, but not better either." Phoebe answered with a sigh.
Piper let out a groan and Prue and Phoebe immediately rushed over to her and sat by her.
Piper's eyes slowly opened and she opened her mouth like she was going to say something, but she just closed it again.
"Piper, honey, are you okay?" Prue asked and brushed some hair from Piper's face.
"P-Prue?" Piper said.
"I'm right here." Prue said and grabbed Piper's hand.
"Where's Ph-Ph-Ph-"
"I'm right here too." Phoebe said and grabbed Piper's other hand.
"Piper, we need you to stay awake, okay?" Prue asked.
"I-I-" Piper started, but her eyes closed again. Immediately, Phoebe checked her pulse and Prue checked her breathing.
"She's fine." Prue said mostly telling herself that.
"Yeah, but Prue we have to get out of this." Phoebe said.
"I know, and it looks like Leo is the only one who can help us." Prue said and looked at the crack, where Yulix's feet stood still.
"Why isn't she answering?" Leo said loudly and slammed the phone down. Now he was starting to get really worried.
He thought it over then orbed into the backroom. He peeked out the door and didn't see anyone, so he walked out.
"Piper?" Leo called. No answer. "Prue?" No answer. "Phoebe?" No answer.
Leo walked over to the bar and looked down.
"Shoes?" Leo asked himself bewildered.
"Did you hear that?" Prue asked, her head snapping up.
"Yeah." Phoebe breathed, then they both raced to the crack.
"His shoes! He left his shoes!" Prue exclaimed.
"So, he's not here? That means..." Phoebe's eyes widened and her and Prue looked at each other.
"The Book!" They both exclaimed.
"What do we do?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know. It could be a trick." Prue said.
Another fair of shoes thundered by and Prue and phoebe took a few steps back. A giant hand came down and picked up Yulix's shoes.
"I don't get this." Leo said to himself. "Shoes?"
Leo looked down and noticed where the shoes were. There was a small crack in the wall, but Leo thought nothing of it until he saw something tiny peek out, then go back in.
"There's someone out there." Phoebe said.
"Who?" Prue asked.
"I don't know. I didn't get a chance to see." Phoebe said.
"Well we-" Prue started, but stopped when she noticed a giant eye looking through the eye.
Prue and Phoebe screamed then rushed back to Piper.
"Oh my God." They heard whoever it was say. "Prue? Phoebe?"
"I recognize that eye." Prue said.
"Me too." Phoebe said.
They stepped over Piper together and walked a little closer, then their spirits lifted.
"Leo!" They both exclaimed happily.
"Put your ear to the crack!" Prue yelled.
"I can't hear you." Leo said. "Hold on."
Then an ear appeared at the crack. Prue sighed and walked over.
"Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you Prue. What happened?" Leo asked.
"Well, Phoebe and I don't know how this all started, but we came to the club and we found Piper in a glass jar. Before she could explain, a guy came out of the shadows and shrunk Phoebe and I. The jar Piper was in fell and shattered and Piper was unconscious. We got into this hiding place and then after a while I went out and the guy chased me and I got hurt. Piper and Phoebe are hurt from the jar, but neither of them went out." Prue explained.
"He shrunk you?" Leo asked.
"That's what I said."
"Why would he shrink you?" Leo asked.
"To squash us and get the Book." Prue said.
"I'll check the manor. I'll be back in a few minutes. Don't go anywhere." Leo said.
"But Leo!" Prue yelled, but Leo had stood up and couldn't hear her.
Leo walked over to the phone and put the cord back in, then orbed to the manor.
"Oh well, checking the club couldn't hurt." Leo said, then decided to call first. He didn't need to orb into a crowded room.
So, Leo picked up the phone and dialed the club.
