Prue held her hand at the wound to her stomach, as she watched the medical team wheel Phoebe out of the room. "What?"

"Leo?" Piper spoke before anything more was said.

"I don't know, I was sitting here watching all three of you. The doctor came in and was looking at Phoebes chart. Next thing I know is she went over to her and then all hell broke loose."

Prue started for the door but was stopped by the streak of pain the ripped through her. Been abruptly woken and shuffled off Phoebes bed, like she had, had caused her more pain to her own wounds then she was willing to admit.

"Prue stay here I'll go." Piper set Prue on the other bed in the room, and before her sister could argue she took off out of the room and down the hall.

She set everything up before the team had even entered the OR with Phoebe. She knew what she wanted and it would not be that hard to get it. "Get her set on the IV and monitor."

"What happen?"

"I'm not sure. But I think she may have gotten an infection from the previous operation that was done on her." she moved with ease around the table looking down at the face before her. She seemed so innocent. But she knew the truth. Inside was the evil that killed her friend. "I got it from here. Thank you."

"What?"

"I said I had it from here. I just needed to get her down to the OR fast. You did a great job now let us be. It's just an infection. Sandy, can you stay?" she asked the nurse near Phoebes head. She would need one person to adminster the anesthetic and keep an eye on her vitals. At least to make it look more real she did.

"Yeah I got it here." Sandy looked confused, but followed the orders.

She moved quickly along the incision she had made the other day. The area around where her appendix used to sit was still red and swollen, as was the area around her spleen. But neither of those really concerned her. As she started to make her her way to her face.

"Doc?"

"Just something I thought I saw in her room." She pretended to look inside her mouth, as she then went for her scalpel.

"Doc?"

"Her tonsils are severely inflamed. It is blocking her airway. Could be why I was seeing the readings I was earlier."

She worked with speed, yet efficiency. She wanted to minimize her risk of getting caught by Phoebes real doctor or her sisters. She knew who had come to the warehouse and that was one person she wanted to steer clear of. She had read Curtis' files: Prue. Oldest sister and very protective of the younger two. Especially Phoebe.

Piper paced back and forth having not found anyone with any knowledge of what was going on. Her actions she knew, was not helping Prue any either. But what else was she supposed to do.

Prue lay on the bed having had a nurse change her dressing again. She knew she shouldn't be moving around a lot but she couldn't help it. Her baby sister was in trouble and now she was back in surgery. But something itched at the back of her mind. She was thinking about the time she had used her power and went to Phoebe. The person there she recognized from somewhere. She just couldn't place where.

Piper turned quickly hoping whoever was walking in had news on her sister. But the person she saw only confused her more. "Doctor Jones?"

Prue looked up at Pipers voice. "Ok if you are here. Then who the hell is operating on my sister?" Prue demanded as she found an inner strength to get up from the bed and make her way to Piper.

He looked confused at the accusation from Prue and the absence of his patient. "Excuse me? Operate. There isn't anyone operating on her. But where is she?"

"Like Prue said ,a doctor came in here. Looked at her chart and the next thing we all know is that Phoebe was being wheeled out of here." Leo helped fill in the blanks.

"Well it isn't a surgery that I know about." He shot back defending his staff as well as himself.

Piper looked at Prue and felt her heart tighten. "Shit!" was all she said before she took off from the room and she knew that Prue as not far behind her.

Leo waited a few seconds before following them. Leaving the doctor wondering what was going on.

She had what she needed. The blood settling into the small metal dish, surrounding the tonsils in the middle. She carefully finished what she had to do and then looked up at Sandy. "Finish up" was all she said as she took the small metal dish and made her way from the OR.

Piper rounded the corner and nearly ran into her. But she didn't recognize her. She had made certain to keep out of site of the sisters when she had Phoebe taken from the room.

"Sorry." Piper quickly apologized as she kept going.

She watched as Piper ran down the hall. She knew where she was heading and she had to get out of there fast. But as she turned to run, she wasn't as lucky as she first thought. As she turned and ran right into Prue. Sending them both staggering, with Prue losing the battle as she fell to the ground.

She looked down at the person on the floor and hesitated for that one second too long. She should have just kept running, but she hadn't. And that in the end would be her down fall.

Prue shuck off the effects of the collision, but then looked up. Seeing the face before her, she felt nothing inside her but rage as her power flew through her system and slammed into the woman before her.

Piper turned abruptly as she heard the commotion behind her. But as she turned she saw the doctor sailing across the hall and into the wall. "Prue?"

"It was her." Prue pushed herself up and felt Pipers arm around her as she had made her way back to her sister. "She was the one in the warehouse that was standing over Phoebe."

"What?" Piper looked at the dazed woman on the floor. "Wait. She was."

"At Dr. Williamson's Funeral. That is where I recognize her from." Prue finished as she glared down at the woman.

Piper took the step forward with Prue, lending her sister support, "Where the hell is my sister?" Prue asked as she glared down at the woman.

"Dead on the table I left her on. I made sure that her evil didn't kill anyone else." She looked up at the two older sisters. But she felt herself being moved quickly down the hall again. She knew that Prue had once again used her powers on her. And it was those evil powers that had killed her friend.

"You are lying. I can do this all night. And with each one it will be harder on you. Tell me where she is and I won't have to kill you."

"Just like the evil in you all. Killing is the answer to get rid of the good."

"Prue. You can't do this."

Piper turned and saw Leo and Darryl standing down the hall. It was then she looked at the woman on the floor and at her sister, "Prue. They're right. We can't do this. As much as we both want to punish her for what she did to Phoebe we can't. We aren't like that." she placed her hand on Pure arms. "Lets just go find Phoebe." She said gently as she watched Darryl walk up to the woman on the floor.

Prue stood still as Darryl read her her rights, but made no move at that moment to move. She just glared at the woman. "Who are you?"

At first she said nothing. Then she looked at Prue locking her eyes with her. "He was my friend. Curtis was." she said, "He was my lover, and the father of my son."

Piper was stunned at the words. Son? His file didn't mention a son.

Leo placed an arm around Piper and Prue, as Darryl started to take the woman away. But she had managed to escape his grasp. And with the handcuffs on her she bolted for her only exit. Leaping through the window before her, her screams were heard until nothing.

Piper tucked her face into Prue as the woman leaped to her death. Leo came behind them and held them both as he soon looked up to a nurse that was wheeling an unconscious Phoebe from the OR.

"Phoebe." Leo whispered to Piper and Prue and let them go as they went to their sister.

Prue sat beside the bed as she watched her baby sister sleep. It had been so long since their lives where turned upside down. But Prue just wanted her baby sister back.

The softness of the sheets was all she felt at first. Then her thoughts ran back to her last memory. The crazy person cursing and she was losing blood fast. She could feel it. But something wasn't right. She felt someone holding her hand. Actually someone's holding each hand. Was she dead? She tried to fight open her eyes but they seemed closed shut with glue. At least that was how it felt as she fought off the drugs in her system. But eventually her heavy lids opened and she tried to bring everything into focus.

She blinked a few times, as her vision became clearer, she could then make out Prue at her side. She turned her head slightly knowing who was holding her other hand. "P..rue?" she moved her mouth but nothing came out. She felt panic creep inside her. She could hear her voice but no sound came from her mouth. So she did what she hoped would work, she squeezed her sisters' hands.

Prue looked up and met Phoebes warm brown eyes. "Hey sweetie." She ran her free hand over Phoebes head, as she bent over and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Hi honey." Phoebe looked over as Piper came into her view. She could see the tell tale signs of tears on Pipers cheeks. Reaching up she brushed the one that trailed down her sisters' face.

Once again she opened her mouth to say something but all she got was a whisper. Prue saw the near panic and definite confusion on Phoebes face, "Long story short sweetie. You had your tonsils taken out. But you should be ok in a day or two."

Phoebe looked over at Piper and saw her sister nod her head in agreement. "It's true honey. But we will explain the whole story to you, the best we can. And maybe once you get your voice back you can fill us in on some things as well."

Phoebe reached up and grabbed both her sisters and pulled them down to her. "I love you." She whispered out to them both, as she felt a tear run down her face. Tears of her fear that she had felt when she was away from them and a tear of happiness that she was back with her sisters.

She knew that they would tell her everything that had happened. But for right then she was just glad to be back safely in their arms. Arms that loved her as much as she loved them
