*****************

Paige groaned as she sat up. Where was she? And why did her leg hurt so much?!

She opened her eyes and everything came rushing back. The shopping, the robbery, the truck, the gun, and then finally the cell they were in now. She and Leo had been kidnapped by a warlock and their powers were not working. That's why her leg hurt so badly!

She didn't remember falling asleep. She and Leo had been talking and then..well, she woke up.

"Leo?" Paige whispered loudly. "Leo?" Something stirred from beside her. It was darker in the room than it was yesterday.

"Paige, are you okay?" That was Leo's voice. And it was right beside her.

She gasped in shock and looked beside her, trying to peer through the darkness. "I'm fine, Leo. Just a little disoriented. When did I fall asleep?"

"I don't know. I was talking to you and when you never answered my question I panicked. In fact, I thought you were dead. But after a few minutes of freaking out I finally realized that you were just asleep."

Paige laughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that."

"It's fine," Leo said. "I fell asleep right after that. I was exhausted."

"Why is it so dark?" Paige asked.

"They must have moved us when we were asleep."

"Why didn't we wake up, then?"

"We were REALLY tired."

"Leo? I've been thinking. Since you don't have whitelighter powers any more, does that mean they can shoot you?"

"I don't want to think about it, Paige."

"Get up." Suddenly the warlock was back. And he still had the gun. And that damn annoying light that he insisted on shining into their faces. Paige hugged her knees, ignoring stabs of pain it gave her.

"Why?"

"Don't question me just do it," Leo and Paige got up slowly, using the wall as support, still averting their eyes from the light. "See you ruined our trip for money last time. So now you have to help us get some more."

"I don't like the sound of that." Leo muttered. The warlock marched them out of wherever it was they had been kept overnight. He kept them walking until they reached a door. Then there was the blinding light of the sun that caused them to cover their eyes. It was so damn bright!

Then they were bundled into the back of the truck they had been in first. Inside the dark was welcoming to their sore eyes. The engine started again and they were moving along, just like yesterday. Everything was happening so fast.

"Leo?"

"Paige?"

"Yeah. Where the hell are we going?"

"He said something about helping them."

"Well I can't use my powers. So calling for bills is out of the question." They lapsed into silence for a while, feeling the jolting and bumping under them. Paige chewed on her bottom lip in thought. Some time in the night someone had put another bandage on her leg. That stopped a little bit more blood.

Suddenly the warlock blinked in. He shone the light down onto a rucksack that was open on the floor. He put the gun inside and showed it to Leo and Paige.

"See, this thing will be pointed at you. So nothing stupid, ok?" Leo and Paige nodded. "Now get out." Paige and Leo got out of the back of the van, the sun hurting their eyes again. Slowly they got used to the bright daytime.

Leo's eyes fell onto the backpack and the gun that he knew was concealed inside. He couldn't work out how he was going to get out of this one. He didn't know how he was going to get Paige out of this one. He sighed and walked forward, trying not to look scared.

There was a short walk down the street, where some people looked strangely at the wound in Paige's leg and the limp she had and the way that she was leaning heavily on Leo. There was a bank there. Just outside the warlock blinked out, and then blinked back in with a ski mask on. People screamed as he pulled the gun out of his bag.

"Nobody move!" The warlock got out two pairs of handcuffs. He put them on Leo and Paige and took the gun out of the backpack. He shoved the two up to a teller and pointed the gun to Paige's head. "Give me all your money in unmarked bills or these two get it."

Across town, Piper was nervously pacing back and forth in the conservatory. Phoebe was watching her with a frown on her face.

"Piper, stop pacing!" Phoebe finally said. "That doesn't help!"

Piper stopped and sighed. "I'm sorry, Phoebe. It's just..." she paused then sat down next to her sister. "I'm so worried. Where are they? And why can't a contact Paige's cell phone or get Leo's attention?"

Phoebe put an arm around Piper's shoulder. "Piper, honey, I know how you feel but we have to be rational about this, okay? Just calm down."

The TV in the kitchen was on and what was said next on the morning news caught the two sisters' attention.

"We are live at the First National Bank of San Francisco. Inside a man with a ski mask on is holding two people, a man and a woman, hostage. Apparently, he isn't going to leave the bank until he gets all of the money. And he claims that even then, the two hostages are going with him."

Piper and Phoebe ran to the kitchen, stopping in front of the TV, their eyes wide.

"We will now cut to the security cameras inside the bank. The robber is making his demands to the police through the system."

The screen changed to black and white and a man with a mask on was in front of it. Beside him were Leo and Paige.

"Oh my God!!" Piper yelled.

"These two are mine," the man was saying. "They are going to help me in everything I do. And if ANYONE, and I do mean anyone, tries to stop me they will both be shot."

"Phoebe, get your coat." Piper rushed upstairs, running down with Wyatt in her arms. She handed him to her sister.

"What, are you just going to go there and freeze everyone? Didn't you hear the 'Anyone does anything' remark?" Phoebe asked, flattening Wyatt's hair. Piper looked at her.

"And you have a better idea?" Phoebe opened her mouth, closed it again and shook her head.

"No, I like that plan."

"Good." Piper grabbed her keys and whirled a coat around her shoulders. She headed out onto the drive, got into her car, slammed the door and jammed the vehicle in reverse, looking over her shoulder to make sure the road was clear.

She checked Wyatt was still secure in his seat before turning to the road. She rammed the car into gear and sped off, her tires screeching. Phoebe hastily buckled her seatbelt, her hands gripping the door handle.

"Piper, aren't we going a little fast?" Piper's answer was to swerve onto the other side of the road to overtake three cars. She shot back into her lane, ignoring the horns blaring.

"No, we are going at just the right speed." She pressed her foot harder on the accelerator and the engine leapt and roared at her command.

The street was full of news crews and police officers, their sirens flashing blue. Piper shifted Wyatt to her hip and went as fast as she could to the front of the crowd. A woman was reporting to a camera.

Piper pushed past her, getting to some yellow tape. There were some curious bystanders milling around. Piper ducked under the tape, Phoebe following nervously.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid you can't come through here." Phoebe saw Piper's hands twitch. She grabbed them.

"Her husband and sister are in the bank." Phoebe said quietly.

"Yes, but there are lots of people in the bank, Ma'am. Lots of relatives wanting to get them out."

"My husband is the main hostage, DAMMIT!" Piper yelled, wrenching her hands away from Phoebe. The policeman looked slightly taken aback.

"Well, uh."

"Let her through." Piper looked behind the cop, and saw the face of Darryl. The cop waved them through, Phoebe smiling her thanks at Darryl.

"Why is there a homicide detective here?" Piper hissed at Darryl.

"In case it turns into homicide," Piper glared at him. "Ok, I saw Leo and Paige on the news, alright?" Piper handed Darryl her son.

"Look after him, ok?" Piper looked around and saw some policeman closing the street. Perfect. No cars to come around the corner. She had got here just in time. And Phoebe had wanted to go slower.

"Why? Piper, what are you going to do?" Darryl looked suspicious." You can't just freeze the place, you know!" He hissed. "Anyone does anything? Remember that?"

"You sound like Phoebe. And I can freeze everyone. Watch me." Piper raised her hands, freezing everyone but Darryl.

"Piper you can't do that."

"What? I just did!"

"I am not going to let you go in there."

"Then you've forgotten about my other power." She marched towards the bank. Phoebe smiled nervously at Darryl.

"We'll be right back." Darryl looked around at the frozen people around him, and then back at Wyatt, who was gurgling.

"So tell me, when did Mommy go psycho?"
