AN: First, to answer some questions;
Someone asked if Dobbs is just a spy or if she just hates Piper because of Leo... well, I can tell you for sure she is a spy working for Big Man since this has been discussed in earlier chapters. Other things will be revealed later on.
This chapter is pretty intense, a lot of action, and it's not very long either. (Sorry about that, I just had a perfect spot to stop this at).
Please don't forget to review, and tell me if you like what will happen here; because it sure as hell changes a lot... here it goes!
Chapter 19
OoO Missing OoO
"We are still not sure how they got into the police building. Our security is very strong, being the main office in LA." Darryl was telling the rest of the people around the table.
Leo and Darryl were down at the FBI, in a room full of agents who were assigned to work on the 'Big Man' case.
"Apparently, the security wasn't good enough." One of them muttered.
"Big Man works with high technology, he's done some tricks in the past that I still can't explain, and I've been on this case for over three years." Leo explained.
About an hour into the meeting, Leo's cell rang, and all the eyes were on him.
He looked to see who it was, and recognized Piper's number.
"Excuse me; I'll have to take this one."
He walked out to the hall where he answered.
"Piper?"
"Leo! Thank god I caught you! There is something I've got to tell you."
She sounded troubled, maybe ever hysterical.
"What is it?" He asked, concerned.
"No I can't tell you over the phone, we have to talk in private..."
"I really can't right now, I'll be back in Wyatt investigations in two hours..."
"No! Leo, please, it's urgent, I just can't tell you over the phone."
Leo considered this, and decided Darryl could carry on alone.
"Ok, I'll meet you in my office in half an hour then."
"No, not here, too dangerous. At the park, you know where. I have to go." She said, and the line went dead.
He wasn't sure what was going on, but he wasn't intending on waiting to find out.
"Excuse me agents, I'm afraid I'll have to leave now." He announced to the room.
Darryl sent him a questioning look, but Leo only shook his head in response and left.
When he arrived at the park Piper was no where around.
He set on a bench where he could see her arrive, but thirty minutes passed and she never did.
He tried calling her cell again, but there was no answer.
Then he tried her number at the office, but had his brother answer.
"James? Is Piper there?"
"She left about half an hour ago, she looked a bit stressed. Why?"
"I was supposed to meet her, but she never showed up."
"Aren't you supposed to be down at the FBI with Darryl?"
"I was, until she called me and asked me to see her. She said it was urgent."
"Anything to do with the case you think?" James asked.
"I'm not sure; she didn't want to tell me. Call me if she shows up." Leo asked, and the conversation ended.
He waited for another thirty minutes, but long ago he realized she wasn't coming.
He remembered Piper's sister's number she gave him a few days ago when she was staying at her house, and told him to call there.
He dug out the crumpled peace of paper and called Phoebe.
"Hello?" Her voice came after the third ring.
"Hi, this is Leo."
"Leo?" She sounded surprised.
"Yeah, sorry to bother you. Is Piper with you?" He asked, hoping for a positive answer. Something about her bailing on him didn't feel right.
"No, but I've talked to her this morning when she was in your place." Phoebe said.
"It's just that I was supposed to meet her an hour ago and she never showed up."
"Wired. Did you try her cell? Maybe she is stuck in traffic or something."
"I don't think so, the park I am meeting her at is very close to work, and she didn't have her car anyway."
"I'll call Prue, maybe she talked with her, and I'll let you know. Tell her to call me when she shows up."
He decided to go over to the office and wait for her there; maybe that's where she'll go.
---OoO--- An Hour and a half Earlier ---OoO---
Piper clicked off on her cell after she asked Leo to see her, and threw it in her purse.
After quickly logging off the computer, she headed towards the elevator, wanting to get out of Wyatt Investigations as fast as she could.
She walked into the elevator, pressing the ground floor with a trembling finger, and kept pressing until the doors closed.
She let out a breath she was holding, and then drew it back in when the doors opened at the third floor.
Two men in black suits (like the rest of the detectives in Wyatt Investigations) walked in.
The elevator stopped again at the second floor, but the doors didn't open.
"What..." Before she could finish that thought, the lights went out.
She turned around but could hardly make out the two dark figures coming towards her.
It was only then that she opened her mouth to scream, understanding that the two men in the elevator with her could be more danger then she imagined.
But it was too late, because before she had time to let out any voice one of them pushed her hard against the elevator wall.
Another hand covered her mouth and nose with something that made her dizzy within seconds.
And then there was nothing.
---OoO---
Leo was sitting uncomfortably in the chair of his office.
It was over nine in the evening, and Piper hasn't contacted anyone yet.
Her sisters where worried too. He didn't want to alert then if he wasn't sure it was something serious, but now he was really worried.
Maybe she took off or somewhere, maybe this whole deal was too much for her to handle, more then he realized.
He started phasing back and forth, and when his phone rang he was sure it was her.
"Piper?"
"No. I gather you didn't find her yet." Darryl's voice came, and Leo was never as disappointed to hear it.
"Nothing. I really don't see what's going on."
"Look, let's wait till tomorrow morning, and then we'll maybe contact someone at the local police, although I think we can do a better job looking for her ourselves."
"Ok. We'll wait till tomorrow. I'll head over to my place, she might come there. And in case she returns to her apartment Phoebe is staying there for the night."
"Good. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Leo put the phone down and left the building.
He just couldn't rest his brain, he was worried and he couldn't fool himself.
He heard her hysterical voice when she called him and begged him to see her. Why wouldn't she come? What the hell was going on?
---OoO---
The first thing she felt was the sour dryness in her mouth.
Her aching head wasn't much of a blessing either.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that she even realized she was in a sitting position.
It felt like the room was shaking, there was a loud noise coming from everywhere, and in made her nauseated.
When her eyes finally cracked open, she realized it wasn't just in her head that she felt the noise and shaking in the room.
She was on a plane, none the less.
Looking around, she could make out quite a few people around her, most of them men in black suits.
She didn't remember how she got there, or why was she there, and she started panicking.
"Piper Halliwell, what a pleasure it is."
She turned around to see who the deep and quiet harsh voice belonged to, and had to look up pretty high to see the man's face.
He had a very strong built, defiantly VERY big bone, and a smile full of big white teeth.
From first glance, Piper guessed he was around his mid-forties, but he looked elegant in a very sexy way.
He was wearing a black suit like the others, with a gold tie which had pink flowers on it.
Next he sat down in the seat next to her.
Behind him, people turned their attention to Piper and the man who was now next to her. It was a private plane, Piper realized.
"Who are you?" She asked, but her voice came out all wrong and hardly stable.
The man smiled, and put on a little table next to her a cup with water.
"Drink." He instructed, and she would have screamed or maybe even slapped him if her throat didn't long for that water as much as it did.
She grabbed the water and took a quick slip, but it helped much.
"Who are you?" She repeated her voice ten times clearer and much more determined.
"Haven't you heard?" He asked, and the men around smiled.
"What is this? Some kind of a sick joke?! Who the hell do you think you are!? How dare you bring me on here?!" She felt the skin on her face become redder with every second.
"Relax dear, no need to raise your voice. You will come to learn that Big Man doesn't like people talking louder then him." He said with a grin.
Big Man.
