A/N: Enjoy and review.

"Why?" Phoebe grins "I tell you why big sister. But first answer me this: Did you really think I choose you over dear old dad, not to mention my source of income?"

"..." Piper clutches her bag of money tighter in her left hand to the point where all of her finger tips are bright white.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

"No" Piper said. Still heartbroken that her own sister would do this. Piper try to justify her little sister actions by thinking 'maybe Phoebe was acting out of anger for what I did earlier.'

"Just let dad go Piper." Phoebe states in a firm voice.

"I will...eventually but Phoebe listen to me get away from dad. I can see already that he is corrupting you. I don't want you to end up like him." Piper pleads hoping she'll get through to her little sister.

"Like him-" Phoebe was interrupted by a cry coming from Victor's office.

"Oh you might want to check on her. I just shot her in the knee."

"Why did you bring other people into your problems Piper? I don't care how fuck up you are in the head. You don't shoot Daddy's client!" Phoebe says in a very spiteful tone.

"I just had enough of you. Open your eyes and quit defending him. That slut in there was only here to give him a blowjob. I can't believe your denial." At this point a lone tear runs down Piper's face. Victor sees for the first time how he really affects someone by his stupidity. How he long to wipe that tear away wishing by that act that things will be better between him and his daughter. As much as Piper hated losing control of her emotions, she couldn't help it. Piper was so angry and frustrated with the way Phoebe was treating her. It hurts her.

"YOU'RE LYING DAD WOULD NEVER-"

"Why don't you ask him yourself? Just call the security guards off me and you get him."

"Deal." To the security guards. "Drop your guns to the floor" once they do that Piper goes up to them and takes their guns from the floor.

Piper shoves the very sorry and shameful Victor to Phoebe and starts to run the hell out of there. Phoebe looks at Victor realizing he has been uncharacteristically quiet.

"Daddy is it true?" Victor remains quiet his eyes down cast. Then he raises he's eyes to meet his youngest daughter.

"It's true."

Once outside Piper stops for a brief moment to clam down and emotionally collects her self. Realizing she is still holding on to three guns Piper puts hers in her boot. Then she unloads the other two guns puts the bullets in her pocket and discards the guns by dropping the down an open unattended sewer. Piper starts running once again.

'I hate traffic'

Taking a huge chance once again Piper ran through traffic. Phoebe still manages to take precious time for saving Leo once again. Piper glanced down at her watch: fifty seconds left. Things went differently this time and yet it is still fifty seconds before mayhem. Piper focused all her energy on running faster hoping to make it to Wally' Market Place in time.

****

'Damn it Piper where are you. You say to stay put no matter what but I don't think I can.' Leo looks at his watch and starts calmly walking away.

****

Piper turned the corner and saw Wally' Market Place. Piper sees Leo heading towards the store. Piper runs after him despite the fatigue that started to set in.

"LEO," she screams out of breath.

"LEO, LEO.... LEO!"

"LEO!" Piper screams even louder than before. Her voice now raspy and sore.

Leo hears Piper and turns around to see her.

"PIPER" Leo yells happily. He starts to run to her. Then suddenly Leo sees a man wearing a business suit in his late thirty's grab Piper roughly from behind. Leo panics and draws his gun running furiously faster to Piper.

"I wouldn't do that Wyatt" says a man coming out from the crowd caring a gun himself putting it at Leo's head. He shoots the gun out of Leo's hand. Bystanders see this and start heading out away from Leo, Piper and the two older men. In no time the streets in front of Wally's Market Place are empty with an eerie silence.

"Let her go." Leo says calmly. After he says those words there's an echo.

"Wyatt I think you bumped your head this morning because you seemed to forget who's the boss of who." The man who has the hold of Piper tightens his grip on her arms.

"Please let her go. You want me."

"Save me the righteous crap. Where's my money Wyatt? The man demands.

"I don't-"

" It's in the bag" Piper says raising her right hand slightly.

"Why's your girlfriend with the money Wyatt?"

" You have the money. Now leave us alone."

"You shut up bitch. Gees Wyatt your whore here as a mouth"

"Don't you dare talk about her like that" Now a pissed off Leo states.

"Since when did you have balls Wyatt?" Says the man pointing the gun at Leo.

"I think we should teach them a lesson. Don't you?" The guy holding Piper kisses her neck while keeping his eyes on Leo watching him squirm.

"I agree"

"Please don't I'm sorry just do what you want to me but please leave her alone." Leo rambles' knowing the word lesson coming from his bosses means someone is going to get whack.

"Sorry Wyatt too little too late" the guy holding Piper pulls out his switchblade from his pocket. Piper sees this and mouths to Leo the words I love you. Leo does the same thing. Leo only hope is for the cops to show up but it will be too late.

"Ready Judas?"

"Yes Sir."

The man holding the gun replies. Soon after Leo is shot and Piper is stab...a total number of nine times. Both of them clinging on to life, as Leo's bosses are satisfied with their handy work leaves taking the money with them. Leo painfully moves his right hand to Piper's left.

"I failed Leo." Piper whispers then goes to a coughing fit. Piper was stabbed twice in one lung so now she feels she's drowning as the blood enters it.

"Piper you can never fail me. I'm sorry I brought you into this mess." Leo barely able to contain his emotion as tears starts to fall. Pains consuming him all he can do is look into her eyes and not break contact. Leo waited for Piper to stop coughing so she could say something.

" Leo I love..." Piper didn't finish her sentence death had already taken her.

"I know" was all Leo said as death came to take him.
