From a general point of view



As Phoebe wondered why her dead sister was on the news, Paige asked ,"Isn't that Prue?"

"yeah, PIPER!!" Phoebe yelled.

"what," Piper said hurrying into the living room.

"look!"

A picture of Prue was on the TV screen.

"Today marks the death of Prue Halliwell, a star photographer of 415 Magazine. 415 would like to have special viewing of her work. That will be today from 1 to 5 at the Golden Gate Park."

a newscaster followed her picture.

"well thanks for telling us!" Paige yelled at the TV.

"3 years, oh my god." Piper said slowly sitting down next to Paige."Is that why you haven't been yourself for the past few days, Phoebe?"

"what?" Phoebe asked.

"oh, I thought it was about Cole leaving 3 months ago to the day,"Paige said matter-of-factly.

Phoebe turned to her and gave her a murderous look.

Without a word Phoebe picked up her daughter, grabbed the diaper bag and her keys and walked out the door.

"oopps," Paige said avoiding piper's stare.

"If she doesn't come back by tonight,YOU are going to go looking for her." Piper said angerly.

" Piper I forgot, I wasn't thinking. Besides this isn't the first time she walked out." Paige said standing up.

"It's the first time she has brought her daughter with her!" Piper said getting up and walking out of the room.Paige followed her.

"ya well, now she has to come back doesn't she? She's got Cat with her." Paige said following her sister up the steps."Where are you going?" she added as the rounded the corner and turned to go up the attic stairs.

"I'm summoning Cole." Piper told her.

"Oh that'll do it. Didn't Phoebe ask us never to do that.She'll kill you, us, me!!" Paige said starting to get worried." Can you even do that?"

"I can and i will. He still has demon in him. Besides he'll come because he'll think it's Phoebe summoning him.I understand his position. We are not mad at him. Phoebe is." Piper said walking over to the Book of Shadows and flipping to the Belthazor page.

"so why are we doing this?" Paige asked standing next to her.

Piper looked up from the paper she was copying the spell onto."Isn't it obvious? She's vulnerable

right now because she's upset. Her guard will be down. Who know's what kind of trouble she'll get herself into."

"She might only be going to the store or something." Paige said hopefully.

Stuffing the paper into her pocket piper replied,"ya, well, we don't know that. This is why we need Cole."

"you lost me." Paige said.

Piper pulled Paige over to the middle of the attic," He'll come we'll ask him to watch over her, she'll find out, we'll be screwed, but her and Catty will be safe."

"what do you mean we? You're the one doing this!"

"Paige just say the spell with me."

Magic Forces black and white,

Reaching out through space and light.

Be he far or be he near,

Bring us the demon Belthazor here.

A whirlwind of smoke appeared in the center of the room. After a few moments Cole appeared.

With hope in his eyes, he looked around to see who had summoned him. His face fell when he saw just piper and Paige.

"Paige, piper. What can i do for you?" He started.

"Phoebe's upset. She ran off with Catty and we need you to protect them."Piper said calmly.

"Just like that, you forgive me for leaving?" Cole asked with curiosity.

"We we're never mad. We agreed with you even if it hurt Phoebe so much. It was the logical thing to do to protect her and Catty." Paige began.

"Cole please. I'm worried."

Cole looked at Piper's upset expression." Okay, but if I get caught by her, I'm blaming you two."

"Just Piper! I didn't do anything but say the damn spell!This was not my idea!" Paige yelled she turned and walked down the stairs.

"Thank you. you don't have to be seen. Just make sure she's okay." Piper said also turning around.

Cole took a deep breath and began thinking.A thought struck his mind.

'I know where she is'

and then shimmered away.
