Chapter 13

A couple hours had passed before anyone heard anything about Paige. Prue was wandering around the conservatory trying to calm Alex down, while the rest of the adults were in the living room waiting to hear anything. Once in a while, one of the adults would go upstairs to check on the kids, who were playing.

Suddenly, they heard a noise come from the kitchen. Victor, Sam, and Andy all went to see what it was.

"PAIGE!" Sam yelled. He ran to her collapsed body inside the kitchen door. "Paige are you alright?" There was no answer.

Everyone else ran in the kitchen now, and Patty ran right over to Paige and Sam. "What's wrong with her? Is she alright?" Patty asked.

Leo ran over to them to check on her. "She's still breathing. Let's get her onto the couch. Piper, can you get some water and clothes?"

"Yeah, I'll be right there."

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

About an hour later, Paige finally gained consciousness. "Whoa, what happened?" she asked.

"We don't know. We were hoping you could tell us," Andy said.

"Last thing I remember is getting ready for bed. What time is it?"

"It's 2:30 in the afternoon. What time did you go to bed last night?" Patty asked her youngest daughter.

"11:00."

"Honey, you were kidnapped," Piper said. "And we think it was Dan Gordon that did it. He escaped not too long ago."

"What? Are you serious?" Paige asked. She tried to sit up. "Ow."

"Where does it hurt Paige?" Leo asked.

"Everywhere. My head, my arms, my legs, my ..." she stopped because of all the people in the room. "Um, could I please just talk to Mom and Piper?"

"Uh, sure. We'll just be in the kitchen," Leo said.

Once everyone was out of the room except for the three of them, Paige continued. "It hurts so much," she said as she started crying in pain and embarrassment. Patty and Piper sat down with Paige and wrapped her in a comforting hug.

"He got you, didn't he?" Piper asked.

Paige nodded her head. "I think so. I don't remember anything, though." She put her head on her mother's shoulder. "I want my friends. Mom, can we go home soon?"

"I don't know, baby. We'll have to talk to Andy and Leo."

"Why?"

"Well, Leo will be able to tell you for health reasons, and Andy will tell you for police reasons."

"Can we please find out, then?"

"Ok. I'll go get them," Piper said.

A few moments later, Piper came back with Andy and Leo. "Can I please go home?" Paige asked.

"I'd suggest talking to a doctor before anything is done," Leo said.

"And I think you should see a psychiatrist to try to get you to remember more," Andy said.

"Why?" Paige asked. "I'm fine. I don't need to see anyone."

"Paige, sweetheart. I think it's a good idea to listen to them. They're looking out for you," Patty said.

"But, Mom, I don't want to." Paige was beginning to cry.

"Honey, we'll go see them, and then we'll go home. I promise."

"Fine. Can I get a little rest first. I'm in so much pain."

"Ok. We'll all be in the kitchen if you need us."

Patty and Piper stood up and helped Paige lay down, then they all went into the kitchen.

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

A few hours later, most of the family was at the hospital with Paige. Paige was in getting checked out with Patty and Piper by her side.

"Well, there is definitely some bruising," the doctor said as she walked into the room. "You've got a few cracked ribs and some tissue damage. Paige, were sexually active before this encounter?"

"No," Paige replied.

"Ok. Well, I would advise you stay in the area for at least a week. We need to do some blood work to check for anything unusual. Mrs. Halliwell, when you do get home, make an appointment for Paige with your family doctor. Now, have gone to the police yet?"

"Sort of," Patty said. "My son-in-law is a police officer."

"Ok, good. Leo told me that you were interested in seeing a psychiatrist. Is that correct?"

"Yes," Patty said. "Paige doesn't remember very much about last night. We want to be able to remember as much as possible."

"Ok, here is the card of someone I highly recommend. She is very good with all of her patients."

"Thank-you, Dr. Nicolae."

"Can I get back into my own clothes now?" Paige asked.

"Yes, Paige, you can," Dr. Nicolae said. "I'll give you a call in a few days with the results of you blood work."

"Ok, thank-you again."

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

A few days later, Dr. Nicolae called.

"Ok, Dr. Nicolae. Thank-you," Patty said. "Paige! Piper! Can you come in the kitchen please?"

"What is it, Mom?" they asked when they got to the kitchen.

"Dr. Nicolae just called. She said you had some kind of drug in your system. She looked in Piper's file to review everything from a few years ago, and she discovered that it was the same thing. It looks like it was Dan for sure."

"Is Andy at work?" Paige asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Piper said.

"Well, we can stop by the station when we're done with the psychiatrist," Patty said."Piper, we should only be a couple of hours. Why don't you call Andy and let him know we'll be stopping by after Paige's appointment.

"Ok, Mom. Bye. Everything will be fine Paige."

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

About an hour later, Piper was making the kids something to eat when Leo walked in the back door.

"Hey," he said as kissed the top of each of his daughters' heads. "Guess what."

"What?" Piper said.

"I got the rest of the day off."

"That's great!"

"Maybe we could get your mom and Prue to take the kids out to the park or something for a few hours."

"Not right now, honey. Mom's out with Paige for a few hours. Oh, we found out that there's more proof against Dan for attacking Paige. Dr. Nicolae called and said Paige was drugged with the same substance that was found in our blood a few years ago."

"Really? Has there been any news on finding Dan?"

"Not that I know of. I called Andy earlier and he didn't say anything."

"Ok. So, when your Mom gets back, why don't we send her out with the kids then?"

"Dad's in the living room, why don't we have him take them and Prue?"

"That works."

"Ok, I'll go talk to him. You stay here and watch the kids. I'll be back."

"Ok."

A few minutes later, Piper and Victor walked in the kitchen, followed by Prue and Alex. "Ok, girls, let's go out to Grandpa's car," Victor said. "We're going to the park."

"A.J. we're going to see Grandma and Aunt Paige, then we'll go to the park with Grandpa, Jess and Mel."

"Ok," all three of the kids said.

After everyone was gone, Piper and Leo went upstairs to their room.
