Phoebe got out of the car and slammed the door. Prue shook her head and got out as well.
"Are you sure you want to do this today?" Prue asked Phoebe as they walked to the building.
"Prue, I know what happened yesterday." Phoebe said, stopping. "I remember it vividly. Caroline is dead. She was my friend, Prue. I know. I just want to get this paper down with so I can deal with all of this."
"Okay." Prue said quietly, then they walked into the building.
They walked up to the front desk and Prue looked around, touching her camera nervously.
"Can I help you?" The receptionist asked Phoebe.
"Yes, I'm Phoebe Halliwell." Phoebe said. "I have a meeting with Doctor Case."
"Of course." The receptionist said, then picked up her phone and dialed a number. Phoebe looked at Prue.
"Something wrong?"
"Hospitals." Prue said.
"I thought Piper was the one with hospital trauma." Phoebe said.
"Huh? Well, I don't have a trauma. I just don't - oh, that is one cute doctor." Prue said as a doctor walked past the two.
"Who are you turning into?" Phoebe asked. "Me?"
"You're involved." Prue said. "I'm not. I'm allowed to scout the hospi - oh my. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous."
Prue took a picture of the cute doctor and Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"I guess living with people for so long really does cause things to rub off on people." Phoebe said.
"Uh-huh." Prue said and took a picture of another cute doctor.
"Over your trauma?" Phoebe asked.
"Trauma?" Prue asked, positioning her camera. "I love hospitals."
"Phoebe Halliwell?"
Phoebe turned around when she heard her voice.
"Me too, Prue." Phoebe breathed.
Prue pushed Phoebe aside and shook the doctor's hand.
"Hi. Prue Halliwell." Prue said.
Phoebe pushed Prue away and shook the doctor's hand.
"I'm Phoebe Halliwell." Phoebe said. "Prue is my sister. She's going to take some pictures for me... my paper. She's taking pictures to go along with my paper."
"Oh!" Prue exclaimed. "How about a picture of you two!"
"I don't have a problem with that." Doctor Case said and smiled. Phoebe moved by him and Prue took the picture.
"Okay!" Prue said.
Doctor Case walked a little ahead and Phoebe and Prue followed him.
"You didn't get me in that picture at all, did you?" Phoebe asked Prue quietly.
"Nope." Prue said and walked faster so she was standing next to Doctor Case.
As they were walking down the hallway, a woman with short, dirty blonde hair stepped into the doorway of a room. She was wearing a hospital gown.
"Excuse me." Doctor Case said to Phoebe and Prue, then went over to the girl.
"You're gonna ask him out, aren't you?" Phoebe asked.
"Shhhhh." Prue said. She was watching Doctor Case and the woman.
The woman made eye contact with Prue and pointed to her.
"You saw your sign on them!" The woman yelled at Prue. "You saw it!"
Doctor Case gently pushed the woman back into her room, then locked the door. He walked back over to Prue and Phoebe. The woman looked through the small window in the door and yelled.
"You saw it!"
"You'll have to excuse Maddie." Doctor Case said. "She's not stable. Let's go to my office."
Prue walked along, her eyes fixed on Maddie's door.

Piper walked into the dining room and looked at the scattered newspaper. Phoebe's tears had dried from the paper, but now the paper was crinkly in spots.
Piper sat down at the head of the table and took out her books for P3. She started to work, but her eyes kept moving to the front page.
*****
"Now, what is it you want to know?" Doctor Case asked after they were all comfortable.
Phoebe asked him a question, but Prue wasn't listening. She was thinking about Maddie. How did she know?
"Um, I hate to interrupt." Prue said and stood from her chair. "But, I have to go. I'll take the pictures for your paper now, Phoebe."
Phoebe nodded and Prue took pictures as Phoebe and Doctor Case talked.
Prue got enough pictures, so she left the office and walked down the hall to Maddie's room. The door was open again and Maddie was leaning against the doorframe.
"I knew you'd come."
*****
For the fifth time, Piper looked up from her work and stared at the front page. She didn't know why she didn't read it. Maybe she was too scared that she would find out that twelve people were really dead and she just hadn't had a nightmare.
She was tempted to reach for the page, but she couldn't. A little voice in her head was saying:
'You don't want to know.'
*****
"How did you know?" Prue asked Maddie.
"They told me." Maddie said.
"Who's they?" Prue asked.
"The demons of course." Maddie said and spun in place.
"The demons talk to you?" Prue asked.
"They started a week ago." Maddie said. "They told me they were going to kill the twelve made of evil."
"Maddie, those people were not made of evil." Prue said. Maddie leaned close to Prue's face.
"They were witches." Maddie whispered.
"Are you sure you want to do this today?" Prue asked Phoebe as they walked to the building.
"Prue, I know what happened yesterday." Phoebe said, stopping. "I remember it vividly. Caroline is dead. She was my friend, Prue. I know. I just want to get this paper down with so I can deal with all of this."
