Chpt. 5

New York

Cole was in his, office, pacing, when someone knocked on the door.

"You wanted to see me?" Dr. Carter Dolan asked when Cole opened the door.

"I need some advice. I have a patient, who has amnesia. She doesn't even remember her name. She's being discharged, tomorrow. I can't leave her alone."

"You can't get involved with a patient, Cole. You know that."

"Carter, she doesn't have anyone. She's all alone."

When carter looked at Cole, he saw fear, for his patient, but he also saw something else.

"Are you in love with her?"

"No…yes…I don't know. All I know is I can't leave her alone, to defend herself. I promised Angel she wouldn't be alone."

"Angel?"

"That's what I call her." Cole explained.

"What are you going to do?" Carter asked.

"I was thinking, that maybe, she could stay with me. I went to the police and told them her story. And they're going to send her photograph to the local TV stations. Hopefully we'll get lucky and find out who she is."

San Francisco

When Prue arrived home, she found Darryl, talking to Phoebe.

"Darryl, any news?" she asked.

"Yes and no. We put out an alert on Piper's credit cards. If they're used, we'd be alerted. The problem is her three cards were recently used, but in three different states. None of the people were Piper."

After Darryl left, Phoebe sat down and cried.

"It will be okay, Phoebe." Prue whispered.

"How Prue, how is it going to be okay! We don't even know where she is! For all we know she could be dead!"

"You don't think I have my doubts, I do. I'm scared to death to sleep at night because of my dreams that Piper's lying dead, in a ditch, somewhere. Phoebe, we have to believe she's alive."

"I'll try, but it's getting harder, each day. She's been gone for over a Month."

Prue didn't say anything. She was afraid she'd scare Phoebe. She knew they had to believe that Piper was still alive.

New York

Piper was scared. She was being discharged, tomorrow and she had nowhere to go. She didn't even have money to pay the hospital bill.

"What am I going to do?" she whispered.

Cole was walking down the corridor, towards Piper's room, when he noticed Sheila.

"Damn! I can't deal with her now." He whispered.

"Cole, we need to talk. I'm willing to forgive your transgression, if you transfer her to another doctor." She said.

Cole knew Sheila was talking about Angel. She was his patient, his responsibility so there was no way he was going to transfer her to another doctor.

"Leave it alone, it doesn't concern you." Cole replied.

Sheila bowed her and slowly walked away.

When Cole opened the door, he noticed Piper was crying.

"What's wrong, angel?" he asked, sitting down, beside her.

"I'm scared. I'll be discharged tomorrow and I have nowhere to go. I can't even pay my hospital bill."

Cole took her hand and softly said "You trust me, don't you?"

Piper looked at Cole. How could she not trust him? He's been there for her, from the beginning.

"I've been thinking, you can stay with me. I have a spare bedroom, with a lock."

Piper never expected this. She figured he'd find a place, for her, close to the hospital. She started to cry.

Cole gently wiped her tears with his handkerchief and smiled.

"I can stay with you?"

"I can't leave you alone. You're scared; you need a friend, someone to help you find your family."

"You have done so much for me a simple "thank you" just isn't enough." Piper quietly said.

Then she gently kissed Cole on the lips.
