San Francisco

"Morris, in my office, now." Captain Day said when Darryl walked into work.

After Darryl was seated across from his captain, he took a deep breath and waited for the worst.

"Don't worry, everything's fine." Captain Day said, with a smile. "There was a break in your missing person's case, the Halliwell girl."

"Piper Halliwell?"

"Yes, since we expanded our search to major cities, we got our first break. A woman, fitting Miss Halliwell's description, was last seen in New York. A doorman, for a Park Avenue apartment, helped her find a cab. He saw her picture on the news and called us. He would like to speak to the investigating officer, in person. Take the first plane out, tomorrow morning. You will find Mr. Frank Evans at this address." Captain Day said, handing Daryl a slip of paper.

"Great. I'll go tell her sisters."

New York

When Paul arrived home, he knew that piper wasn't there.

"Why couldn't she wait for me? Sheila's gonna kill me when she sees Marie at the hospital." He muttered as he flagged down a taxi to take him to Memorial Hospital.

Cole watched Piper digest all the information he told her. He knew she was having a hard time with Sheila trying to get rid of her.

Piper was having a hard time dealing with what Cole told her about Sheila, but she was having a harder time with what Paul did. To make her believe that she was his fiancée was unforgivable. What hurt her most was what he told her about her family, her supposed family. She wanted to believe him and it hurt that he lied.

Cole sat down and took Piper's hand in his. "Are you okay?"

"All I want to do is go home. Please take me home."

Cole grabbed their jackets and started for the door when it flew open.

"Take your hands off my fiancée! She's not going anywhere with you!" Pail shouted, as he reached for Piper's hand.

Piper hid behind Cole, wishing Paul would leave her alone.

"Marie, he's not trying to help you, he only wants you in his bed. Come home with me and I'll give you all the time you need." Paul pleaded.

Piper just looked at him from behind Cole's back. "Come on honey, I am your fiancée."

"Prove it." Cole said.

"I already done that." Paul argued.

"Some pictures aren't enough. Tell me who her best friend is, what school she was in, where's the cemetery her parents' are in. I bet you don't know when her birthday is. Your scheme's actually very clumsy. Wanna wait till the police come?" Cole assailed him.

Paul couldn't believe it. Did Shelia tell them the whole plan? No, she wouldn't do that after all the trouble she went through to get rid of Ma…Angel. He knew he lost, so he turned and ran out the door.

Piper snuggled up to Cole, as he tightened his arms around her and smiled.

On their way to Cole's apartment, his mind started to wander back to what Piper said about her fiancé. What if, in her world, she loved him, really loved him. He needed to talk to Piper before they take the next step.

Hen they arrived at Cole's apartment, all he wanted was to make love, but he they needed to talk, first.

Piper watched Cole; she knew there was something on his mind. She walked over to where he was standing and placed her hand on his cheek.

"What's wrong? You look troubled."

"Angel, we need to talk." Cole said, leading her to the couch. "I love you. You're one of the most beautiful women I ever met. You're sweet, sincere, smart and sexy as hell."

Piper smiled at the last remark. "Then what's the problem?"

"What about your "real" fiancé? What if he wants you back? What if he still loves you? What…what if you still love him?"

"Cole, I'm you're Angel now. You're the only one I know and the only on I love with all my heart. I want to spend forever, with you. Please don't turn me away."

Cole gently picked Piper up and carried her to his bedroom. "I love you too much to turn you away."

San Francisco

Darryl was so happy that they had a lead on Piper that he rushed over to see Prue and Phoebe.

"Girls, I have some great news for you! We have a lead on Piper! I'm going to New York to check it out and I want you two, to come. She'll feel better seeing her two sisters. She was last seen at an apartment on Park Avenue. The doorman, Frank Evans, will fill us in on all the details." Darryl explained.

Little did they know that Leo was listening at the door that was left slightly opened. After he heard where Piper was spotted, he quietly sneaked away and decided to go to New York, on his own. He'll bring his fiancée back, no matter what.
