Closer
to thee Part 48:
Things
get serious
--------------------
A
few weeks later:
"alright...
Phoebe can you hear us?"
"Yeah I do"
Phoebe's voice
came form the phone, which was put on loud speak
"So what's
wrong?"
"What's wrong is the money. Piper decided to get a
chef and now finally fired at the bank. We're running short on
money. Everyone practically wants money of us. We have to decide on a
way to pay."
"Prue... why didn't you say that earlier... I
never would have fired..."
"You just answered your question.
Remember what I told you?"
Piper sighted and looked down
"Umm...
guys this is really nice, but what has that to do with me?"
"Well,
we're all relatives to Grams so the people want money from all of
us, phoebe"
Piper told her
"Well to be honest, there's a
real easy way to get to a lot of money, you know"
Phoebe
said
"There is?"
Prue asked
"Well. Prue, you anyway
Anna move out and with Piper the only one at the Manor... don't you
think the house is a little to big for only one person"
"What
you want to say with that?"
"I wanna say, sell the fucking
house"
"Phoebe! Are you nuts!?! It's the house we grew up
in. we were born in. it's the house Grams died in!"
"We're
not selling the house"
Prue said, in a real final voice, kind of
like Grams did from time to time
"It's the best solution,
Prue!!"
"Bye Phoebe! Thanks for your help"
Prue said and
hang up. Piper looked desperate at her
"We'll handle this...
somehow"
Prue told her.
"Well... how?"
"I don't
know, but we're not selling the Manor."
"I don't want to
neither, but it's probably just the only way..."
"I'm
gonna talk to Rodger about this"
Prue said, grabbed her keys and
jacket and left the house.
