AN: Ok peeps, I know how much you all are craving for fluff, but this is a phase in the story where it's hard to fit it in. I think there might be some in this chapter, although a different kind. I really hope you'll like this chapter better then the last one (which I didn't like much myself), but like you've probably realized it was necessary to have Leo tell Piper about all the stuff from the past, it is very important for the rest of the story (which I already have great plans for, so bare with me people!). BTW, I'm not sure yet how long exactly will this story be, so I'll ask you people; I have it planned in two versions, a longer one, and a much shorter one. I personally like the longer (but that might be just because I like it long) so tell me what you think? I can make this story close to it's ending already, or I can open up a whole new window, with lots of drama.

So think about that, and don't forget to tell me! Here is the next chapter.........

Chapter 15

OoO A Threat to the BM Offices OoO

By eight that Saturday evening, Leo has already told her pretty much all of it;

That Luke was a part of a very important and dangerous investigation, one which eventually brought to his death and almost hers... He also told her about Nathan, and the reason he was against her working for Leo so much; the fucking bastard was working for the someone who wanted those files, but Leo wouldn't tell her who it is.

"I don't want to tell you anything until we talk to Darryl tomorrow. Knowledge like that could be a real danger to you." He explained her.

She felt emotionally drained, like someone has sucked out all her energy, and left only sorrow and pain, leaving her to suffer.

She was still at Leo's house when she realized it was well after eight, and decided she better go.

He was again talking on the phone, and when he was done and came back to the living room where they were, she said;

"Listen, could you take me back to the park? My car is there..."

She was unbelievably tired and her eyes were closing, she knew if she didn't leave now she would pass out on his floor.

"Are you sure you want to leave? I don't like you being all alone in that apartment of yours..."

"Leo, believe me, I've learned to live alone."

"I know, but I just think tonight you might need the company." He said.

He was right; she didn't want to be alone, her hands were still shaking in the pockets of her gray sweater, and tonight Ronald's company didn't seem like enough.

"Stay here tonight, I have plenty of spare rooms."

"Thank you." She said with some relief in her voice.

"Any time Piper. Really, just ask if you need anything. I'll get your bed set up." He asked the cleaning lady that was walking around the house to get a room ready for her, and Piper was grateful.

---OoO---

Piper left for the room he showed her to, and promised to come back after a trip to the restroom.

When she wasn't back after fifteen minutes, he came to see if everything was ok, but found her on the bed in the room he gave her, motionless and asleep.

He couldn't help but be concerned about her, and was glad to find her resting, after all; it has been a long, hard day; and tomorrow wouldn't be any easier.

Smiling slightly at how peaceful she looked, he covered her with a blanket and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

---OoO---

She opened here eyes in a bed she didn't recognize.

Recalling last night's events, she realized she wasn't at her apartment but In Leo's house.

Piper got out of bed, and found her way to the living room, but Leo wasn't there.

Deciding he is probably still asleep, she was about to walk back into her bedroom when she heard his muffled voice coming from his office.

Looking through the half open door, she saw Leo sitting next to his dark wooden desk, talking on the phone and looking extra serious.

She used the moment to look around.

She remembered his house from the night she spent here on his couch with him not long ago, but somehow those good memories weren't enough to bring even the smallest grin to her face.

When she didn't hear Leo talking from the other room anymore, she lifter her head and headed to his door.

"Hi!" He called, sounding a bit surprised.

"Hi." She echoed.

"How are you feeling?"

"Good, thank you." She said, forcing a smile.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Very."

"It wasn't cold, was it? I left the window open..."

"It was just right." She cut him.

Finally he smiled, and got up from his desk.

"Are you hungry? Let me see if breakfast is ready."

She followed him to the kitchen, then to a sun room where a little table was set, and the cleaning lady from the previous night came out of the corner.

"Good morning Ms. Halliwell. Anything else, Leo?" She looked at him for a response.

"No Marta, many thanks to you. In fact, I think no more help will be needed. I will see you on Wednesday."

Marta smiled, and excused herself out of the room.

The two set opposite from each other by the little round table set with omelet and coffee.

"Help yourself." Leo said, reaching out for the coffee which he poured into hers and his mug.

"Thanks for letting me stay here." She said a bit later.

His lips curved into a smile, but he didn't say a thing.

"We are supposed to meet Darryl at work today at eight, I'll drop you off by the park and you come over there when you're ready." He told her when they were done eating.

She did as he said, and drove from the park in her car back to her apartment, changed, and headed to Wyatt Investigations.

When she got there at eight thirty, she was surprised to bump into Ms. Dobbs.

Does that woman work all week long? It's Sunday for crying out loud.

"What are you doing here?!" Ms. Dobbs exclaimed as soon as she saw Piper.

She was in no mood to have an argument with Dobbs, she just wanted to talk to Leo and Darryl then talk with one of her sisters, something that always cheered her up.

"Leo asked me to come." Piper said, trying to get pass Ms. Dobbs.

"You mean Mr. Wyatt." Dobbs snapped angrily.

"Look, I don't have energy for this today. I just need to talk to him and I'll be done."

"Sorry, you can't. He's with a police officer and he asked not to interrupt." Dobbs said, blocking Piper's way to his office.

"I know. Look, just let me go it there, I promise you he knows I am coming."

"I don't believe you. I knew you were up to something the minute I saw you. What do you want from this place? Who are you working for?"

Piper seriously felt like punching her. All this babbling only added to her splitting head ache.

"This is ridiculous. Get the FUCK out of the way!" Piper finally cried, pushing Dobbs away and opening Leo's office door.

In the room, Leo was sitting at his chair with Darryl across from him who turned his head to see who came in.

Before they had time to do any greetings, a d furious Ms. Dobbs stormed into the room.

"She insisted on coming in! I told her you were busy!" She exclaimed.

"It's ok, we've been expecting her." Leo said, getting up.

Dobbs looked surprised, but after sending Piper another of her bug-eyed looks, she left the room.

Darryl immediately got up and embraced Piper with a hug.

They didn't see each other for over two years, only a phone call once a month or so.

"It's so good to see you Piper." He said.

"You too Darryl, it sure has been a long time. How are Sheila and the boys?"

"As good as ever." Darryl said as they pulled away.

"How have you been doing?" He asked.

"Same old. You know me, I don't do exciting." She said, as they both set down.

"You look great Piper." Darryl said, but she knew he was just being polite, because she saw herself in the mirror that morning, and she looked like hell. Just about how she felt.

"Thanks Darryl. It really is great that you are here." She said, but she could tell he was uncomfortable with the situation.

They sat in silence for a few moments, until Piper broke it.

"Well?" She asked.

"Darryl fears they are back in San Francisco." Leo said.

"They, as in the men who are after the files?" Piper asked.

Darryl and Leo looked at each other for a moment, then focused back on her.

"Yes Piper. I didn't know they still had someone spying on you. I thought they let you go after the accident."

"Stop calling it that, you don't have to lie anymore. I know well enough it wasn't an accident." She said, much more coldly then she planned.

"I am starting to regret I didn't tell you, you had the right to know. I'm sorry Piper, I just didn't want you to suffer more then you already did." Darryl said.

Piper wasn't mad, she knew Darryl would never mean any harm, he had her best interests. Although he should have told her, long ago.

"Piper, we are reopening Luke's case, and how we have the FBI involved. We still don't know how to find them, or what exactly is in those files, but I guarantee we will get them."

"What does BM stand for?" Piper asked.

"Look, I told you that anymore information would be dangerous for your safety..." Leo started, but Piper continued.

"There are some offices in the area Prue works at that are labeled BM."

Darryl and Leo looked at each other again.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked.

"Exactly what I said. What does it stand for?" She demanded.

"'Big Man'." Darryl said.

Big man?

"Ha?"

"We don't know what exactly it means yet. What were you saying about the offices?" Leo asked.

"I told you, my sister works in that area. Darryl, you know where it is." She said, turning to him.

"I'm going there. You coming, Leo?" Darryl said, getting up.

"I'll sit this one out. Keep me updated. I want to check out some other things." Leo said.

Darryl nodded, and headed for the door.

"I'll see you very soon Piper. Take care, and tell your sisters I'll call them as soon as I have some free time." He said, before walking out.

When he was gone, Leo got up and walked around his table.

"How come you didn't tell me about this yesterday?"

"I don't know, I guess I never thought of it. I just woke up this morning and remembered where I've seen it before." She said, getting up herself.

"This might be a strong lead. I bet Darryl has the whole crew alerted." He said, grabbing his jacket.

"Where are you going?"

"There are things we need to talk about, and we won't be able to do it here since the phone is going to be ringing none stop."

She knew they needed to talk.

They never did talk about what happened two nights ago, when he said... and she through him out.

"Ok." She finally agreed.

"Don't worry; we won't be talking about anything you don't want to." He reassured her as they walked out of his office.

"I know."

---OoO---

But what they didn't know was that in the next room, Ms. Dobbs saw and heard every single word said by them.

Panicking, she diled a number on her cell.

"Nathan? It's me. Tell the boss to clear the BM offices. I think Ms. Halliwell will be a bigger threat then we all thought, it's time to take things back into our hands."

AN: Surprised? I bet you didn't see that coming... Sorry I never reached the fluff in this chapter, this just seemed like the perfect spot to stop. So don't give up on me! Just tell me what you think. And by the way, last chapter got many reviews, I want to thank you all for taking your time and telling me what you think, you know how important it is to me! So thank you!!

BTW: Long chapter, don't you think?
