"26yr old female internal injuries."

"Take her down to trauma 3."

Prue listened as the voices called out to each other. She felt a hand on her arm stopping her from going any further.

"I need to go with her."

"They'll take good care of her. Come on, lets get you taken care of. You won't do your sister any good if you don't get looked after yourself."

Prue listened to him and watched as the doors to the trauma room closed. She tried again to go to Piper but he held her tight directing her to the ER.

She sat waiting impatiently for any word on Piper. But so far all she saw was more people being brought into the ER and more people leaving. She sat on the bed in the ER just waiting to see if Piper was ok.

She finally decided to give the Manor another try. When she wanted too earlier they wouldn't let her. "I'm sorry ma'am all the phones are for emergency use only right now." Was the answer she received. Well damn it this wasn't an emergency. She needed to know what had happened to her baby sister. She had to talk to Phoebe.

She ran. She ran harder and harder as she could feel the air press against her lungs, as her body and lungs cried out for more, but she kept pushing herself further and further.

She saw the building she had to get to and ran faster. Running in through the doors and finally stopping when she ran into a familiar face.

She had waited and watched to see what would happen. When two of them emerged from the house she had hidden in, she followed them to where she hoped they would stay. Now she was somewhere safe as she almost fell into the arms of a friend.

"Jamie. Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost."

She tried to speak but couldn't catch her breath from her run. She had run to the safest place she knew and to where she knew she could get help for her friend. A person she had only just met but she felt a kinship too.

"Jamie it's ok. I got you. Take deep breaths honey"

She felt the arms engulf around her as she felt safe for the first time in the last few hours.

After several minutes she regained her breath and looked up to the face before her. It was a face of a friend ,a face that had been like a big sister to her, a surrogate mother.

Her mother had died a few years ago and her brother had raised her. But it was all the people that he worked with that had really raised her, her family of paramedics and firemen. "I have to help her. She saved me." She finally managed to get out.

"Who honey?"

"Phoebe. They have her and they took her to a bad place." She almost pleaded to the person before her. " I was scared Tina. I had to go somewhere safe and I saw this house and I went inside." Jamie proceeded to tell Tina what had happened to her and to the friend she had just met.

"Ok Jamie stay here I'll get some of the guys at the police station and we'll find her. I promise."

"Tina I know where they are. I can help."

"I know you can honey. But right now just stay here and then you can tell the officers where your friend is. Ok?"

"Ok." Jamie agreed but she wasn't sure. There was something about the two men that had taken Phoebe. But she also could see something special in Phoebe herself. Like it was supposed to be Phoebe saving her. Then maybe she had. Jamie thought to herself as she waited on the couch for Tina to return.

She could hear the voices in the distance but was at first unsure of who they were. Then she thought she recognized one. She could feel the love and caring as a hand was placed on her head. Trying to open her eyes she could see the fuzzy outline of a familiar face.

"P..Prue?"

"Hi."

"Wh..What happen?"

"You don't remember?"

"I..I remember the earthquake." Piper said as she looked up at the ceiling past her sister. "And then another one when I was in the stock room."

"We've had three big ones sweetie, and only a few after shocks since then. They think the worst is over."

"Phoebe?"

Prue looked down at Piper scared of the answer she had to give; "I don't know sweetie. I tried to call earlier but they wouldn't let me. They need the phones for emergencies."

"Prue she hates..."

"I know Piper. But you know Phoebe. Probably found some guy to keep her company during the worst of it."

Piper could almost feel Prues need to go and find Phoebe. It was something that she had learned a few years ago. Just before Grams past away and Phoebe ran off to NYC. "Prue."

Prue looked over at Piper almost knowing what she was going to say. "Piper I had to make sure you were ok."

"Prue. You know she is terrified of earthquakes. Go and find her."

"Piper I can't just leave you."

"Prue you have to. She is out there somewhere, maybe hurt. She needs to know that we are looking for her or at least thinking of her." Piper tried to explain to Prue. "I'll be ok Prue, I promise. Go and get Phoebe."

Prue looked down at her sister, and the tubes running from the machines to her. That alone scared Prue. But she listened to what Piper was saying and knew she meant every word she had said. She was torn between her two sisters and she knew that she had to go and find Phoebe.

"Prue go to the Manor. I'm ok now." Piper insisted

Prue studied Piper a minute more and knew she would not take no for an answer. She knew that she was also in good hands at the hospital. They had repaired her internal injuries and now Piper just needed rest.

"Ok I'll go. But you get better you hear?"

"I got it. Just find her and bring her back here." Piper said with understanding in her eyes.

"I will." Prue bent over and placed a gentle kiss on Pipers forehead. "See you soon."

"Love you."

"You too."

Prue looked back as she stepped through the door. Seeing that Piper had closed her eyes and was on her way back to sleep.

She felt the pain in her arm as well as her jaw as her world came into focus. She recalled the young girl in their basement as she tried to get away. She knew even from there, she wasn't that far from danger. She could feel the ropes binding her wrists together as she tried to gain her self-awareness. The events of the day came back to her, as she felt her own fear and anxiety building.

She didn't feel the surrounding were familiar as she came to. She looked around the bare room not recognizing anything as her fear built up. Remembering what he said about going out for a walk. She was away from the Manor but she had no idea where she was.

Her thoughts drifted to her sisters and what could have happened to them. All her powers of premonition and she couldn't even tell when an earthquake would hit them. She thought of the little girl, Jamie, and hoped that she would be ok. Knowing they would probably never see each other again. Strangers that met in a disaster.

She looked at the ropes that were tied to her wrists, the other end tied to an old heater on the wall. She tried pulling at them, but with her broken arm she didn't get very far. She turned almost in fear at the sound of the door opening.

Their eyes locking. One in fear the other in anger and hate.

"So you're awake." He sneered down at her as he approached.

Phoebe tried to back away from him but it was no use as she felt the wall behind her and the rope tighten on her wrist.

Bending down he placed his hand on her face. Only to have her pull it away. "Be nice or this will go a lot harder then it needs to be."

"Go to hell." She spat back at him only to feel the back of his hand once again

"You want to make this hard. That's fine by me." He said "We just went there to see what we could find and then maybe sell it on the street. Maybe I'll just sell you instead. I have a lot of friends I'm sure that would be more then willing to pay." He drooled down at her as he moved closer to her and she had no place else to go to. "Just remember that." He finished before hitting her again and getting up and leaving the room.

"Prue?"

Turning to the sound of her name she looked into the kind face of the paramedic that had helped her.

"Hi."

"How's your sister?"

"She's gonna be ok. I'm actually heading home to check on my youngest."

"Three sisters. Wow."

"Yeah. Thanks again for everything you did."

"Just doing my job. Look can we give you a ride." There was something in those blue eyes that made him want to know more of the person behind them.

Looking carefully at first, "Sure."

"The names Bill by the way." he introduced himself as they got in the ambulance

They talked about nothing on the way to the Manor just getting to know each other.

Getting out of the ambulance Prue made her way up the steps to the open front door. Seeing it open though made her worry even more.

"Phoebe!" she made her way through the Manor. She had noticed that Bill had come with her. In case Phoebe's hurt she guessed.

"PHOEBE! " she yelled again. She saw the blood on the floor of the solarium as she made way her to the kitchen. Each step bringing on more panic as she saw the door to the basement open.

Starting down the stairs she saw the body on the floor. As panic gripped her.

Bill saw Prue stop a moment at the top of the stairs and looked down over her shoulder. Seeing the body below he ran down the steps past her and feeling for a pulse he just shock his head.

Prue ran back through the house and up the stairs looking for her sister and finding nothing scared her more then anything.

They had a dead body in their basement and no sign of the youngest Halliwell.
