Finally a long chapter, and it's by Totem. And she did an AMAZING job. Truly amazing. (Hehe it may be our story, but come on, I do have to give her props, hope I don't sound too… self absorbed) haha. Thank you soo much for the reviews! I'm glad you liked that Paige and Kyle got together… Hopefully he can help her with this whole Nate situation!

Who-Will-Change-The-World- Wow! Mexico! Man, I wanna go there soon. My best friend is Mexican. How was it? Nice and warm? I think I'm going with my Spanish class next year. I'm glad you like this :-D

Nikkitan- Yeah, unfortunately they got off to a rough start, but I think Paige and Kyle together is better than no Paige and Kyle at all.

She knew that she wasn't going to get off easy, but she hadn't thought it would be this bad. Prue was a workaholic. She should've been at work, and Piper should've been at a doctor's appointment. The only one she thought would be around was Phoebe…but all three of them, she hadn't prepared for this. Closing the door softly she wanted to sneak up the stairs without them catching her but – no such luck…

"You're back? Well I didn't expect to see you this early,"

Paige stopped on the second step, and reluctantly she turned back. Phoebe leaned against the doorframe, a smile plastered on her face. "Morning…I just have to grab a shower and I'm off again…"

"Ah I see…and would it be for work or…pleasure?" Phoebe winked.

Paige rolled her eyes, "Sadly, work! Don't you have somewhere to be?"

"Nope, not till later…so right now, you and me can have a talk."

"No, right now I need a shower!" Paige shot back.

"What does Kyle not have one at his place?" Phoebe's smile grew.

"I'm not getting away with this am I?" The youngest asked.

"Nope you're not sis" neither Paige or Phoebe had said this, Prue did as she walked into the foyer with Piper, "So, spill…"

-------------------

"I thought I was meeting you an hour ago." He spoke, as he walked down the corridor.

"Yeah my sisters got hold of me…sorry" She apologized as she took her jacket off, "It seems they have nothing better to do than tease their little sister."

"Oh yeah…maybe I should have a word." He smiled, kissing her softly on the lips, and leaned back, "I found something you might want to take a look at."

She nodded her head and the two went in the direction of the office. Stepping in, they shut the door and she took a seat at one side and him at the other. "So what you find?" she asked.

He opened the file, and threw it down on the table.

Paige looked at it, reading it with a newfound interest with the case. It looked like they were getting somewhere. No, this couldn't be right though… What she was reading. He would have told her. Hell, he'd lied about everything else and it wasn't something you tell someone...

"What do you think?" Kyle asked cutting into her thoughts. She didn't respond, "Paige?" He asked, this time breaking into her thoughts and getting her attention.

"I…I don't know" She confessed. She pushed the chair back, and walked over to the window looking out of the fifth floor of the police building over the city. She was always amazed when she watched people walking around the city living their lives like everything was great when it was more than likely that every other person had something happening to them, the death of a loved one, an illness, some life changing even just around the corner. Somehow it all looked like everything was okay.

"What're you thinking?"

She turned around and looked at where Kyle was still sat, "I'm thinking that I…need to go and pay Nate a little visit." She confessed.

"You think he'll let that happen?"

"No you're going to make that happen…we have enough to bring him in here for questioning right?"

"I...I suppose I could make that happen" He said skeptically, "I don't see how it'll help."

"I'm going to get answers."

"Paige…"

"Oh come on, don't Paige me…Kyle, please let me do this my way," She pleaded walking over and looking back down at the file. "I need to do this"

"That's just it though, I don't like your way. It usually means that you get hurt."

"Don't worry so much about me" She smiled a little.

"Someone has to." He explained, running his fingers through her hair, a subtle, but affective show of affection.

"Fine, but you let me have this one shot…if it doesn't help then…we do it your way." She stopped, and sat on the chair, "what is your way anyhow?" She asked.

"My way keeps you safe" He explained, "Promise if I get this you don't pull any crazy shit."

"I don't need to be KEPT safe. We-we need to keep Johnny safe." She explained strongly.

"Fine I'll see what I can do."

"Great" She stood up and gathered the file in her arms, "I have my mobile call when it's sorted."

"Where are you off to?" He asked.

"I'm just going to think…need some space for a while."

"Think about what?" He asked.

"Everything…"

"Are you okay?" He was worried, that much was evident.

"Yes I'm fine… look, call, I won't be far. I'll be back here if you need me."

---------------------

"Leo… I'm fine"

"Are you sure…I don't think you should be working" He stressed, "Let me take that" He walked forward and took the box from her that she was holding, "You shouldn't be carrying things"

"Leo, it's a box of straws" She shot back, "Look, I have a club to run I can't just put it all on hold."

"Piper, you're not feeling well."

"I'm fine, I'm pregnant that's all…I'm not sick" She shot back, "Look," He voice softened, "You need to stop worrying." Moving close she kissed Leo softly and moved into his arms.

"I can't help it…" He explained. But was cut off when he heard someone walking down the steps of the club, both he and Piper turned to see who it was.

"Oh…sorry guys, hope I'm not interrupting…"

"NO…"Piper smiled, "What brings you by?"

"I was hoping I could grab a table…" Paige pointed across the club.

"Well I should go anyway" Leo kissed Piper one last time and then walked towards the stairs, "Don't let her work to hard" He whispered to Paige on his way out.

"I'll try" She smiled, and looked back to Piper who rolled her eyes. "So take a seat…I'll grab you a drink"

"Thanks Pipe" Paige walked across the club to where the alcove was that the sisters usually had reserved for them. She fell back into the sofa taking a deep breath; she threw the files to the table. Here we go, she thought.

--------------------

She flipped through until she got to the pictures. She still couldn't believe what she was seeing…was the really true? She had been sitting here an hour and a half now; just reading through all this stuff trying to get it all sorted in her head.

"One mineral water with ice…" Piper's voice cut into her thoughts, she placed the bottle on the table. "Oh god…is that…?"

"Yeah, that's a kid…" Paige lent back and looked up at her oldest sister. She noticed Piper hold her hands on her stomach protectively.

Piper took a seat next to Paige, "that's awful…how could someone do that?"

"It's what I ask myself every day," Paige explained.

"God, I don't know how you do it."

"Sometimes, I don't either," She explained.

"How do you see any good in people when you see things like this everyday?" Piper asked her baby sister.

"Their eyes" Paige answered simply, "I can't explain it but I don't know it's just…something. I mean, sure I see a lot of bad but there's a lot of good out there too. Somewhere."

"You don't sound too sure of that" Piper moved a piece of hair behind her ear and turned so she was facing Paige.

"Yeah well, it's times like these when I do doubt it" She admitted.

"So who you hiding from?"

"Not hiding...just taking a time out"

"Oh I see… well I have to say it's nice to see you around"

"I know, I haven't been around lately"

"Tell me about it…I forgot what you looked like."

"How are you?" Paige asked

"I'm good…I got Leo looking out for me, driving me crazy" She smiled.

"It's good to see you so happy" she tapped piper's leg, "Haven't seen a smile like that for a while."

"Well, what's not to be happy about?" Piper asked.

Before Paige could answer her mobile rang. "Ugh, sorry…" She apologized as she answered, "Paige…okay, I'll be there. Thanks. No I'm fine…I'm sure…I see you in a bit." With that she cut the phone off.

"Doesn't sound like I'm the only one with someone worrying about me"

"Yeah well…it's funny how one night can change things."

"For the better?" Piper asked

"Not sure yet" Paige explained, "I'm going to have to go…I'll call you later"

"Okay" Piper hugged Paige, "look after yourself"

"Will do. You look after you and the baby."

Piper nodded.

------------------------

"So he here?" She asked as she walked swiftly up the corridor towards where Kyle was stood. Her heals clicking on the floor as she went.

"He's on his way." Kyle explained, "I was thinking we could set up…and you could tell me what you're thinking."

"No we Kyle…I need to go in there on my own," Paige explained.

"What? You want me to leave you in that room on your own with him? You're crazy"

"Kyle, I mean it…I need to talk to him. Alone, it's the only way that I can get anything out of him" Paige explained, "I told you" She stepped closer and took his hand in hers, "Don't worry so much."

"I can't help it…" He explained, "After the last few times you two have been near each other."

"Kyle…Have trust in me"

"It's not you I don't trust" He spat.

"Look, I'll go in there, get this out the way and then you and me…we are going to head off home... you can be my protective boyfriend then. Not now."

"Boyfriend?" he asked with a smile.

"Yeah, boyfriend" She lent forward and kissed him.

"I don't like this" He explained.

"I know…I'm sorry…" The two were cut off with Nate with an officer walking towards them. Paige took a deep breath.

"In there" Kyle pointed to the questioning room that the officer should take Nate. He was just looking at Paige, but not having spoken a word. He was shown into the room.

Kyle looked at Paige, "You're not letting me in there with you are you?"

"No… look I just need to do this" Paige explained. Reluctantly Kyle nodded.

"I'll be in there watching everything…"

"Okay…look, sit tight okay…he'll get angry and more than likely shout but…don't burst in there"

"Did I mention that I really don't like this?" he asked

"Yes, about a million times. But thanks for worrying about me."

He nodded and reluctantly let her hand go letting her enter the room. He sighed, and punched the wall in anger before walking into the room next to that to keep an eye on Paige.
