Chapter 13

OoO Heading to Milan, Again OoO

"Is she ok?" Phoebe asked in a small voice.

"Yes, Darling… she's resting right now. She lost some blood, but the doctors say the wound is not too bad, she came out very lucky. She's resting at the moment…" Grams, on the other side of the line, was saying.

"Good…" Phoebe said, more so to herself.

"How is Brie, Phoebe?" Grams asked.

Phoebe glanced at the small infant in her crib, finally asleep. She's been crying so much before Phoebe was finally able to put her to sleep.

"She's missing her mother…" Phoebe said, trying to keep herself together.

"No news at all about Piper?" Grams asked, even though she'd already asked it a few moments ago.

"No…" Phoebe said.

An officer opened to door and looked in for a second, nodded, waited for Phoebe to nod back, and closed the door again. They were doing a check on her and Brie every 10 minutes. There were about five officers in the manor now, guarding. That was all after a long night at the hospital with Brie, checking over her to make sure she was ok.

Grams stayed with Prue, where Andy was now too after they had officially lost the minivan in which Piper was taken.

"It'll be ok Phoebe, Piper knows how to get out of these situations… she knows how to take care of herself well." Grams assured, although it sounded more as if she was trying to assure herself, not Phoebe.

"I know."

There was a long awkward silence. They all knew that there was a good chance that Piper would never be seen again… who's to know what kind of criminals they were dealing with.

"Call me soon." Phoebe concluded.

"I will. Give Brie a kiss from me. Good night." Grams said, and the conversation was over.

Phoebe looked back down to Brie. The poor thing has been through a lot that day… She was lucky, the police was able to stop the car she was in and they took the kidnappers for investigation. They, however, spoke no English, so they had to be interviewed in Dutch. Due to this face, they were now looking for the bank owner, who was now a big suspect.

There was a knock on the door.

An officer popped in.

"Miss- we'll have to let him in." He said.

Phoebe was confused at first, until she recognized the next man who appeared into the room. Tony.

Without a warning, he rushed over to Brie.

"My poor little thing…" He said, concentrating on the girl. Phoebe had to hold herself tight so she wouldn't kick him hard with her foot.

OoO

"No, no way." Leo decided.

"Why not? They are stupid as hell." Martini argued.

He offered to get the two guys that were currently guarding them to come closer and fight, regardless to the fact that they were tied to chairs.

"We can use our legs, and I'm sure we can hit high enough to reach their painful spot." The Italian man smirked.

Piper frowned. It has been hours since she was brought to that place. Every plan the three have tried to come up with so far failed.

"Forget it Martini; we'll only have one shot, and both or us will have to 'score' in."

"Ew." Piper marked.

"Fine then; you two are lawyers… you come up with something." Martini gave up.

Piper and Leo just turned to stare in each other.

His faded blond hair was messy, making the expensive suit he had on look alien. He looked tired too… he's been sitting in this place much longer then she was. Not to talk about Martini…

Before neither or the three had a chance to say anything further, the familiar small figure of the hated Dutch man, Ronaldy, came in.

"Alright you three, time to get out of here." He said, grabbing a few papers from the table in the room and putting it in his sophisticated suitcase.

He said something in Dutch to the other two men in the room, who nodded and advanced towards the three prisoners, now with guns in their hands. . In came two more of the black dressed men, and started freeing Martini, then Leo, and finally Piper. None of the three dared to try and make an attack or an attempt to escape; they were outnumbered.

Piper tried to ignore the oncoming headache which she knew she wouldn't be able to get rid of without painkillers, so she just stuck her head up, and followed her fellow Lawyer and Italian out of the room, guns pointed at each one of them.

They were led outside the building, where a small plane had been waiting.

Piper held her breath, fearing the distance that plane could take them to.

She suddenly felt a warm hand sliding into her cold one, and turned to see Leo's tired eyes giving her an assuring smirk. But, he couldn't fool her. He was no less worried then she was.

Yes, still, she smirked back, and heard Martini puff.

"Wipe the smiles, love birds." He said, and with all that Piper almost forgot the situation they were in. Until she felt the gun behind her being poked into her, hurrying her up the steps into to plane.

The plane took off lonely minutes after they were in their seats. All three were safely tied around the chair they were in; around the ankles, the lower stomach, and the chest. Their hands were tied on top of their legs, around the wrists, just above her knees. Martini tried to fight, but the men in black were much superior. The three had no other choice but to sit up straight in the uncomfortable position. And for how long…. They didn't know.

They seemed to have all agreed, in their minds, to keep quiet from any conversation with one another. With all the others in earshot, they didn't want to say anything they would regret later.

But what Piper did do is stare Leo in the eyes, while he did the same. She felt somewhat angry with herself for being so weak, unable to hold herself together without a presents of that man. What with all those years she had been with Tony? Was he the man that kept her safe, mentally?

Piper knew he wasn't. One way or another, she never felt as safe with Tony as she did in those short nights she would spend with Leo those long years back.

Tony had only been good for one thing; and that was Brie. Because the girl was perfect… and still so… new. So small and beautiful. Precious. Her little Precious Pickle. If they dared hurt her… she'll kill them one by one, and enjoy it. Brie was still recovering from her sudden rising temperature, and she hoped to god her condition hadn't worsen.

Her thoughts took a different direction as she remembered the sight of her older sister falling down to her knees, then flat on the ground. She was shot, and god… Piper hoped more then anything that Prue was ok. She'd never forgive herself if she wasn't.

Leo's eyes looked apologizing. She knew he was blaming himself for getting her involved in this case. But truth was… Piper would have probably been involved in this case one way or another, with Leo's help or without. What with taking up a case against her ex… and winning. She wouldn't have been able to resist that. Not to talk about working along side with the infamous Leo Wyatt… she didn't want to admit it to herself at first, but Leo was a major reason she agreed to this.

"How are you?" A voice asked. Piper realized she dozed off with her eyes open. They were now in the air, and it was visibly dark outside. Piper remembered how badly she hated planes.

Martini had been asleep in the uncomfortable position, and the rest of the men on the plane were chatting away quietly in Dutch, seeming worried.

Leo was the one who had asked the question.

"Fine." She answered groggily. "How long have we been up here?" She asked.

"A few hours. Piper… I'm sorry to say, I think we're heading to Milan. That would be the obvious thing to do…" Leo was whispering.

"This is just so ridiculous…" Piper let her head fall back, desperate. "Being kidnapped, I was hoping for at least someone wise. For all we know they can accidentally press some red button and the plane will crash." Piper muttered.

"We'll be fine." Leo said, not taking it as a joke as Piper thought he would.

"You should try to sleep Piper…" He continued.

Piper nodded, and tried to relax her neck. That was a hard task, there were only so many positions she could choose for it. Finally, giving up, she let it lie on her shoulder, and closed her eyes.

The next time she woke up was because something was twinkling in her hair.

From what she could tell, both Leo and Martini were asleep… who was playing with her hair then? And touching her leg?

She turned her head to see Ronaldy, sitting in a seat very close to her, his hand traveling from her knee up. His eyes were on her chest.

"Excuse me, are those your eyeballs? I found them in my cleavage." She snapped.

"Very funny…" Ronaldy said, smiling slyly. Piper wasn't liking it.

"You are a beautiful woman, Mrs. Halliwell…" He continued. Piper was disgusted now.

"You better take that hand off of me." She hissed at him, feeling completely out of control since she was tied to a chair.

"Or what? You'll fine a case against me for sexual harassment?" He teased.

"Damn right." Piper said, feeling shaky now.

Ronaldy kept smiling and brought his hand to her neck. She tried to shake it off, but there really wasn't much she could do about it.

His hand traveled down, until it was in a place it shouldn't be.

"You son of a bitch…" Piper hated the fact that she was the weaker one. This situation only accrued very rarely.

"You've caused me too much headache to call me names. All three of you did."

He said, putting his other hand on her cheek.

"Well maybe you should have planned your little crime a little better. Can't even steal from yourself properly." She mocked.

Ronaldy got up and stood so close his legs were against her knees. He leaned over, held his hands on her shoulders, and started passing his disgusting tongue along her neck… and ear. Piper knew she wouldn't be able to stand it.

Then his mouth attacked hers, and he started violently fighting her lips, so much that it hurt.

"Let her go!" Leo raged.

Only his voice was the best he can do to help her. He was tied just like her.

"Honey?" The secretary's voice came. Ronaldy had to stop and turn around. "What are you doing with that bitch?" She asked, sounding offended.

"Nothing Pumpkin… nothing." With that, he walked off to her, mouthing 'Later' to Piper's direction.

Piper, out of breath, tried to calm herself down. She never wanted to feel the lips of that horrible man on hers again.

"That fucking bastard." Leo hissed, his face crumpling with anger.

"Are you ok?" That was Martini's voice.

"Yeah." Piper whispered, wondering in anyone heard.

"I promise you I'll burry that man for doing this, and I'll burry Tony with him for trying to take your daughter away from you-" Leo stopped.

Piper stared at him, wide eyed.

Tony...?

"I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier…" Leo started apologizing.

Piper shook her head, stopping him. It wasn't his fault.

She felt a tear run down her cheek.

AN: Review…. Please…
