Sitting in the living room Prue could feel another small after shock rumble through the Manor. She had lost count of how many aftershocks they had had but she did know that they were getting further apart. Which she knew was a good sign.

She watched helplessly as they removed the body from the basement. All she could think of was her sister. Her baby girl. Where was she? Had she been home when he came in the Manor? What happened?

"Prue."

"She looked up to the face of the man before her. It was a face she knew oh so well

"Where is she Darryl?"

"I don't know Prue, but we'll find out. There's been a lot of damage to the city after the first couple of quakes but we'll find her." he gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Have you tried a friend maybe. Maybe she went there after the 2nd one."

"Maybe. I haven't even had a chance to try yet."

He made a promise to his late partner that no matter what he would watch out for the three sisters that had entered their lives just over a year ago. And so far he had kept that promise.

"Prue how you holding up?"

"I'm ok Bill I just need to get back to Piper and then go from there."

"Come on I'll give you a lift."

"I got her Bill." Darryl said as he put his arm protectively around Prue. He knew Bill and he was a great guy. But he just felt the need to protect Prue right then.

"Darryl its ok. Bill is going back that way. Thank you though." She said placing her hand on his arm.

"Call me if you need anything."

"I will. Just find my sister." She said with little hope. She had to talk to Piper and think of places that Phoebe could have gone. Then she would do everything she had to, including magical, to find her. And if she was somewhere safe with a friend she would then kick her ass for having her worry.

She sat in the back of the ambulance as her thoughts went to Phoebe and Piper. She had almost lost one sister she would not let that happen to the other one.

She heard the crackle of the radio but she didn't hear the words.

"Bill. Can you come by the station. Jamie's here she's pretty scared."

"I'm two minutes away. Thanks Tina." He said back as he replaced the hand set. "Care if we make a small detour?"

"That's fine. I can walk from there or take a cab." Prue said just wanting to get home

Jumping from the ambulance almost before it stopped Bill ran to his little sister. "Hey pumpkin what happened?"

Prue watched as Bill interacted with his little sister, bringing back memories of her own times when they were younger and she would comfort them. But as she stepped closer she could over hear what Jamie was saying to him, and as she described everything she felt her heart leap to her throat.

"Jamie. What was the name of the lady you were with? "Prue asked as she crouched down in front of the little girl.

Jamie pulled back into the arms of her brother. But there was something familiar about the lady in front of her. She had the same gentle face and eyes of her friend.

"Phoebe." She said quietly.

Prue stayed frozen to her spot as the realization of what had happened to her sister.

"Honey where were you?" Bill asked his sister gently seeing what Prue was thinking.

"Over on Prescott." She said quietly. "I was playing with Steven. He ran home when the earthquake came. I saw the big house after it stopped and ran inside. I was scared. I'm sorry." She said to her brother.

"Hey honey its ok." He said pulling into a hug.

Prue felt her rage building as she thought of her sister out there with these two guys. Not to even think about that she was hurt. She had seen the blood on the floor of the Manor and the shattered windows behind the love seat.

"Jamie honey. Did you see where they went?" Prue asked as she looked into the little girl's eyes

Jamie looked again at the lady before her. There was something in her eyes that seemed familiar to her.

"Please Jamie. She's my sister. I need to find her." Prue pushed a bit more.

Jamie had told her story to the police officers and now she was telling her brother and Prue.

"Bill we have to go find her."

"Prue let the professionals handle it. I'll take you back to the hospital and you can be with Piper."

"No Bill I need to be there for her. Like I was with Piper."

Some how he knew that no matter what he said or where he took Prue, she would find herself to where Jamie had seen the men take Phoebe.

"Ok come on." He finally gave in. Though not really sure what he had gotten them into.

She leaned against the wall as the pain intensified in her wrist, and the ropes cutting into her were only adding to the pain. With each after shock she braced herself for another big one. She looked around at the room around her and knew that the building could just as easy crumble around her.

She didn't know how long she had been there after he left. But his words still rang through her mind.

She looked up at the sound of the door once again opening. Knowing who it was she once again pushed herself into the wall trying to stay away from him. But again the ropes held her fast where she was.

He cut the rope from the heater and pulled her roughly to her feet causing her to scream out in pain as he banged her arm

"Hurts does it?" he laughed at her pain as tears ran down her face freely.

"Go to hell. She said with more determination then she knew she had. She would not let him win that much she knew.

She heard the footsteps run into the room and could sense someone behind her.

"Cops man. They're everywhere."

"What?"

"Cops. I'm getting outta here."

He watched as his friend ran back through the door as he realized what he had said. How could they have found them so quickly? Then it came to him: the little girl.

"Well it would seem that your little friend is braver then I gave her credit for."

Phoebe tried to process what he was saying, as the pain in her arm seemed to get worse. She wanted to be sick right there. She could almost feel herself getting faint as he pulled her to the door once again banging her arm. Screaming out she came out of her faintness if only briefly as her world went black.

Once again Prue waited as other people helped her sister. She saw as Bill waited as well but he waited in the aspect of a paramedic waiting for his next patient.

She could feel Jamie beside her and welcomed the comfort of the child as shefelt the small hand take hold of hers. Prue looked down at the small gesture andgave teh girl a weak smile as she felt the love for her sisters and this small girl inside her. A love she had always known she had for her sisters but only until last year was able to actually say it to them.

No words were spoken between them just the knowledge that one was there for the sister that was waiting.

Piper woke and could feel the pain everywhere. She pushed the call button and waited as the nurse came in.

"Have you heard from my sister yet?'

"I'm sorry Miss Halliwell."

"That's ok." Piper cringed as she tried to get more comfortable.

"Let me help." She came over and helped Piper get more comfortable. "Do you need anything for the pain?"

"Um. Just a little something please."

"I'll be right back."

As she lay there Piper couldn't help but think of her sisters. One lost as much as the next one. And she prayed that they would both be by her side the next time she woke up.

She heard the yelling through out the building as the police had gone in. But as she heard the gun shots her body tensed.
