That night the witches and their families settled down early that night. The whole day had sufficiently worn them out. Upstairs, Phoebe was busy getting Parker ready for bed, she had barely left his side since Leo had delivered his news earlier that day.
"Phoebe, I can handle brushing my teeth by myself." Parker said, heading into the bathroom with Phoebe close behind.
"Since when do you call me Phoebe?" She asked tickling his stomach.
"Oh, you're right, I should call you aunt Phoebe." Parker smiled and loaded his toothbrush with toothpaste.
"I'm glad to know you're taking this whole thing seriously." Phoebe said sarcastically as she too dabbed a bit of mint toothpaste onto her brush.
"I am taking this seriously, very seriously." Parker said with his mouth full of toothpaste. "It's just all happened so fast, it's a little strange you know?"
"I know, it's probably a bit much to take in." Phoebe said spitting into the sink.
"Yeah, but I can handle it. Besides I've got you and Aunt Paige and mom and dad." Parker grinned widely, exposing his toothpaste-covered teeth.
"Spit smart ass." Phoebe said tousling his hair playfully.
"Phoebe!" Paige shouted from kitchen, "I need help!"
"You better go, she might blow something up." Parker said grinning. Phoebe smiled, kissed Parker on the head, and headed to the kitchen to see what was going on. Parker finished brushing his teeth and went into his room to finish getting ready for bed. When he approached his room he noticed that the door was closed, he didn't remember closing it but in all the chaos of the day, he very well might have. He opened the door and flipped on the light. He was taken aback by a man in a black suit, sitting on his bed, throwing a baseball up and down into the air.
"Hello Parker, my name's Cole, nice to finally meet you." Cole stood up and walked around the room, gliding his fingers over various objects.
"You better leave or I'll call my mom." Parker backed up but bumped into another tall figure dressed also in black.
"I don't really think your mom can stop me kiddo." Cole said walking leisurely over to Parker.
"MOM!" Parker shouted frantically. Without thinking he shot a fireball at Cole who disintegrated it before it reached him.
"Impressive, did mommy teach you that?" Before Parker could react again, Piper, Paige, and Phoebe had appeared in the doorway, knocking down the large demon that had previously blocked Parker's way.
"Cole, get the hell out of here." Phoebe said, placing a comforting hand on Parker's shoulder and pulling him into her. Parker, remembering his role as Piper's son, edged his way over to his "mom".
"I'll be leaving in a minute Phoebe, once I get what I came for." Cole glanced over at Parker menacingly. Piper instinctively tried to freeze Cole, but he seemed to be immune. "I told you, you can't stop me." Cole quickly manufactured a blue energy orb in his hand and tossed it towards the witches who were instantly trapped in an invisible jail of sorts. Paige tried to orb out but all of her attempts proved futile. "I'll just be going now." Said Cole calmly as he reached into the unseen box and pulled Parker out by his collar.
"Mom!" Shouted Parker who was squirming helplessly in Cole's strong grasp. Without thinking, Phoebe answered her son's desperate call.
"I'm trying baby." She mumbled as she tested various areas on the box for weakness.
"Wait, I'm confused. I though little Parker here was Piper's child. Is he yours Phoebe?" Cole said as he walked closer to the trapped witches, with Parker in his arms.
"Go to hell Cole." Phoebe said, driven by rage. As she watched Cole hold her struggling child she wanted nothing more than to turn him into a pile of ash.
"Hmm, well you all fooled me." Commented Cole, shrugging his shoulders casually. Another demon then appeared behind Cole whom Parker was handed over to.
"Mom, help!" Shouted Parker, before disappearing with the unknown demon. Cole walked over to Phoebe who was busy kicking and clawing at the walls of her prison.
"Don't worry Pheebs, I promise I'll make it quick." Cole shimmered out before Phoebe could react. She felt her stomach drop and her heart break. She wanted her baby boy back, away from Cole, away from all those heartless demons.
"How the hell are we going to get out of here?" Asked Paige as she feverishly tried to orb out.
"We've just got to calm down and think this out." Said Piper placing a hand on the nonexistent wall.
"I can't calm down Piper, not until Parker is back in this house." Phoebe said, placing her hands on her head feebly. As if hearing their cries of helplessness, Leo orbed in.
"What's going on?" Leo asked with an eyebrow raised, as he watched them scratch at the air.
"Get us out of here Leo!" Said Paige as she once again tried to orb.
"Out of where?" He asked, walking around the encased witched.
"Cole put this invisible box around us. He took Parker. God Leo, hurry!" Phoebe remarked anxiously.
"Okay, just give me a second." Leo walked around the box a second time, assessing the situation. Without saying anything, Leo orbed into the box and one by one, took the witches out.
"Why could you do that?" Asked a frustrated Paige.
"I don't know, maybe I could get you out because I'm full white lighter. The box just wasn't that secure." Leo said, shrugging his shoulders.
"He wants us out." Phoebe mumbled softly, "He wants us to follow him."
"Why would he want that?" Inquired Piper softly.
"I don't know." Whispered Phoebe, "I don't care though, I'm going to get my kid." Without waiting for her sisters she headed downstairs to gather potions. Within twenty minutes, the witches had put together various protection and vanquishing potions, and were on their way to the underworld to rescue Parker.
