New York

"Mr. Evans, I'm sorry for what Leo Wyatt did, but he's not my partner, he's Miss Halliwell's fiancé." Darryl explained "he wants to find her just as much as we do."

"That still doesn't give him the right to hurt people."

"Please help us find our sister, Mr. Evans. She's been gone for a few months and we fear something happened to her." Phoebe pleaded.

Frank looked at the two women and knew he had to help them.

"She was here three days ago. She wanted directions to Metropolitan Hospital, but she didn't have any money, so I gave her $20. She took a cab to the hospital and I haven't seen her since. The man she was with left two days ago."

"Wait a minute, she was with another man?" Prue asked.

"Yes, but she didn't seem happy with him. They seemed distant with each other, like they didn't belong together."

Prue was afraid to ask her next question, but she knew she had to.

"Did you tell Mr. Wyatt about the other man?"

Frank nodded his head.

"You don't think he'll hurt Piper, do you?" Darryl asked.

"You didn't see him the last time he came over. He believes Piper's hiding from him and that we know where she is."

"Which way to Metropolitan Hospital?" Darryl asked.

"Take a cab; all the drivers know the way."

Phoebe placed her hand on Franks arm. "Thank you for your help."

Frank smiled. He was glad he helped.

"I saw Dr. Turner earlier this morning. I'll go find him while you wait here." Sheila said, as she walked into the waiting room, with Leo close behind.

"Thanks for everything." Leo smiled.

Cole had just finished examining his last patient when Sheila found him.

"Hello Cole, how are you? How's Angel?"

Cole felt Sheila was up to something, again. He knew she didn't give a damn about Angel. He started to walk past her when she placed her hand on his arm.

"There's someone I think you should meet. His name is Leo Wyatt, he's Angel's fiancé."

At the mention of the name Leo, Cole froze. Angel's fiancé is here? He felt like his heart shattered into a million pieces. He didn't want her to go back, but he knew it had to be her decision. Even though he felt that Angel loved him, he wouldn't stand in the way of her happiness, no matter how much it hurt.

"May I help you?" Nurse Richmond asked.

"Yes, we're looking for our sister, have you seen her?" Prue asked, showing the nurse Piper's picture.

"She was a patient here, but she was discharged a few weeks ago."

"Have you seen this man?" Darryl asked, pointing to Leo.

Nurse Richmond smiled, "Yes, he was here earlier. I was going to page Dr. Turner, but Sheila took him under her wing. I believe she took him to the waiting room. It's down the hall, last door on the right."

"Thank you.' Phoebe said.

Piper was starting to get bored when Cole burst through the door.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked.

Cole took her hand and led her to the couch. He knew it was going to be hard to tell her about Leo, but he knew he had to give her the choice.

"Angel, I have something very important to tell you, Leo's here."

"In…in New York?"

"In the hospital. Sheila told me."

"Not her again! Why can't she just leave us alone! I hate her!" Piper shouted as tears fell from her eyes.

"I know you don't trust her, but I believe her, this time."

Piper looked at him in surprise.

"She said his name is Leo." Cole continued. "You know we can't avoid it forever. We have to face him."

Piper embraced him, "I love you."

She knew he was right but that was all she could tell him, now. She wanted to assure him that would change their love. In fact she also needed his encouragement.

"I'll go with you." Cole softly said as if he felt her feelings.

Piper nodded and they walked to the waiting room, together, her arm around him. When they stopped at the closed door he felt her nervously clutch his side. Then she loosened her hold and looked at him. He gave her a reassuring smile. He wouldn't push her; she would enter the room when she was ready.

Piper held the knob a few moments, before twisting it with a determined gesture. Her eyes were directed at the man she had seen so many times, in her dreams. He was in front of her, in person, right now
