She paced impatiently waiting for them to arrive back to the warehouse. Maybe now, with a real specimen, she would get the answers her friend so desperately seeked.
She turned expectantly as she heard the warehouse door open and the ambulance pull inside. She quickly made her way to the back knowing that her skills would be needed if they had done what they were supposed to do.
She watched in anticipation as they came around and flew open the back doors. She felt her heart tighten at the sight of the blood that was there at first. But as they pulled her from the back of the ambulance she wanted to scream. "You idiots."
"What? You said shot whoever was there and pick the one that didn't use an active power."
"You idiots. How is she suppose to use a power when she is unconscious?" she looked down at Prue and saw the extent of her wound. She knew she would need her at some point, it was just a matter of when. "Damn it. Get her out of my site."
"What? You just want us to switch her with the other one?"
"Do what it takes. I pay you all good money. Get it done." She stated as she walked back inside.
He looked at his friend and then to the woman lying on the bed. "Now what?"
"Now we take her to a hospital and get the right one."
"What we just walk in there and switch them?"
"No you idiot. There is more then one hospital in this city you know. We take her to Wiltshire and then we figure out how to get the other one."

They pulled the ambulance into the emergency dock, and quickly exited the vehicle and ran off. They knew that she would be found eventually. They had others problems to deal with.

"Look Bob all I'm saying is not tonight."
"Come on Lisa. We can't have gone together that long to just threw it all away." he reached for her only to have her pull away.
"Bob." She stopped when she saw the ambulance parked with the back door slightly open. "Bob. Have we had anything called in yet tonight?" she asked as she started for the back of the ambulance.
"No." he turned around and saw where she was heading. "Lisa be careful."
She opened the door and felt her adrenaline start to pump. "Bob get a ER team down here stat." She jumped into the back of the ambulance and held her hand to Prues neck. She turned when she saw the team rushing out the doors.

"That's it. Close her up." He made his way thought the OR door and started taking off his surgical smock.
"Question now is who is she?" the other doctor joined him in the clean up.
He looked back through the door of the OR and looked at her pale face. He had almost lost her once, she had lost so much blood. But he was right. Who was she? She had to have gotten hit by someone in the first place and her body was found in an ambulance. "Call the police and see if they have any reports of a shooting today. Those wounds to her abdomen and lower back were fresh." He turned and walked out of the ready room, tossing his bloodied gloves in the designated garbage on his way out.
Phoebe lay on her bed stunned at what Piper had told her. Prue was missing? How is that even possible? Two ambulances came and only one came back here? "Piper we have to find her." Phoebe protested at the pain in her side as she pushed herself up from the bed.
"I know, but you are not going anywhere honey." Piper rested her hand on Phoebes shoulder.
"Piper our sister is out there somewhere hurt and I am going to go find her."
"I know that Phoebe but you yourself only just got a bullet removed from your side. You are lucky it wasn't in further, or that there was more of them."
"And what about Prue. You said yourself you thought she was hit more then me."
Piper sighed, she knew Phoebe was right, but right now she needed to focus on her baby sister. "Phoebe I know what I said. But right now I need to concentrate on you. Darryl and Leo are looking for Prue. Can you just work with me a little, just tonight Phoebs? Please? "
Phoebe looked at Piper and could see her worry. Worry for her as well as Prue. But she knew Piper was right. The sooner she got better the sooner they all could be looking for Prue.
Darryl pulled out his chair from his desk and was about to sit down when he saw Leo walk in the station room. "Leo. How's Phoebe?"
"She's gonna be ok. In fact Piper said she will probably be going home in a few days. She was lucky."
"I'm glad. Now we just need to locate Prue."
"I have."
"What?" He started but was interrupt by his phone, "Hang on. "Inspector Morris."
Leo watched the look on Darryl face and some how knew what the call was all about.
Darryl placed the receiver on the phone and grabbed his coat, "They have an unidentified woman in her late twenties over at Wiltshire. Gunshot wounds. Sounds like it could be Prue." Darryl spoke fast as he made his way to the door with Leo right behind him.
"That's is why I came by. I sensed her. But she wasn't hurt by a demon and I knew that you would want to know what was going on."
"Thanx Leo. For keeping me in the loop but out of the magic." Darryl replied as they both nearly burst through the hospital doors.

Darryl took out his badge, "Inspector Morris I got a call about a woman with a gunshot wound."
"Yes I'll page Dr. Jones."
"Inspector?"
Darryl turned to meet the face of the young man before him, "Doctor."
"She is right this way. Hopefully you can tell us who she is." He looked suspiciously at Leo.
"If she is who I think she is Doctor this is her brother in law
They looked in the room and saw her lying there. Tubes on her face and in her arm. Filing her with oxygen and the much needed blood she had lost.
"Oh god, Prue." Leo went to her side immediately and took her hand in his. His heart went out to her, but also to Piper and Phoebe. But at least now they knew she was safe.
Darryl spoke with the Dr. Jones who informed him what happen.
"Leo someone just left her here."
"Well that doesn't sound demonic. Look maybe the elders know what's going on. I'll go to Piper, and then to them," he loooked skyward, "you stay here with Prue. Maybe see if you can have her move to the SFMH."
"Why not just keep her be here? Phoebe is going to be getting out tomorrow or the next day and I think Prue is more serious from what I was told."
"Piper." Leo whisper not wanting to startle her awake.
"Leo? What?"
"We found Prue."
"WHAT!?"
"Ssshhh you'll wake up Phoebe." He took her by the arm and led her out of Phoebs room. Quickly filling her in on where Prue was and what had happened.
"I have to go to her Leo."
"Darryl is with her now. Why don't you stay with Phoebe here and in the morning you can both go over there?"
Piper leaned into him known he was right. Her oldest sister was in a hospital with a dear friend at her side. But she still felt the need to be near her. She walked into the room and could see Phoebe looking at her with her warm brown eyes. "Go to her Piper. I'm ok."
"Phoebe."
"Piper I'm ok. Just go to Prue and tomorrow Darryl or Leo can bring me over to you two. She needs you know more then I do."
Piper hesitated and then leaned in and kissed Phoebe on the cheek, "I love you, you know that right?"
"In my heart. Now go."

They waited in the hall. Keeping their ear to everything that was going on. They knew that they had found the other sister. The question now was what would the other two do. But they soon got their answer as the one left with her guy. Knowing that they would be heading across town to the oldest.
He stood up casually and looked down the hallway. Seeing the coast clear they made their way to the room occupied by the one that she wanted.
Leo walked in the hospital ready to take Phoebe over to Wiltshire to see Prue. She was still out by the doctors seemed positive on her recovery.
Making his way down the hall he pushed open the door to her room. Though what he saw surprised him. He turned and went to the nurse's station.
"Nurse. Where is Phoebe Halliwell?"
"She should be in her bed sir. She hasn't been discharged yet."
"Well she isn't." He felt a fear inside him. As the nurse made her way to the room he closed his eyes. He sensed her but she was no where near the hospital. That much he could tell. But that was it. The reading he was getting was very weak.
