I'm SO SO sorry for taking sooooo long. TOOO long. Anyways, here it is, and the second part is right after it.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN IT.

"Patience is way to familiar with the whole "flight" part of the "fight or flight" theory." Paige announced. Chris sighed, putting down a gigantic plate of pancakes he had just made in the center of the table.

"It's what she's best at. She lived on the streets for 5 years before I found her. And with demons before that." Chris said, sitting down. "I was 15 at the time. Wyatt was already evil. It took me months to get her to trust me, and to stop stealing everything she needed." Chris chuckled suddenly. "I used to make this grocery list, right? Right there, where my mom used to keep it. And I'd find that milk would be crossed off, and a cartoon of milk would be in the fridge, but there wouldn't be any bread, or anything else on the list. And every day there would be something else crossed off, but only one." Chris put his hands in his head.

"It took me two months to figure out that she was stealing the stuff." he shook his head still chuckling. "By that time Wyatt had already taken over the Manor and we were living at P3."

"You lived at P3?" Piper said looking up sharply, her eyes fogging with sorrow. "Wyatt took over the Manor?" Chris nodded.

"You know, Spiritual Nexus and what not. Nearly killed me and Paye on the way." Chris muttered taking a pancake after seeing the sisters had taken their share. There was a silence at the table while they all chewed in contemplation. Suddenly Chris looked up and called out, "CASH." there was silence and Chris waited, looking into the void of the kitchen.

"Come on Cash, I'm not going to hurt you. I need your help." a minute later the Source/Seer cross appeared in the kitchen, looking apprehensive.

"What do you need Chris?" he asked, keeping his distance. Chris glanced at him and took a bite of his pancakes.

"I need you to find Patience." he replied after a moment. If this demon really wanted to bring goodness back to his name, he could wait for Chris to swallow. "She disappeared." There was silence and in a split second Chris looked up, his emerald eyes narrowing at the teenager. "You know where she is." Cash looked to the floor as an answer. "Where is she Cash?"

"I'm not supposed to tell you." he said taking a deep breath and looking up at Chris with a single cocked eyebrow. "Because it worked out so well for her the first time I did that."

"Don't be snarky." Chris snapped, his suddenly authoritative green eyes fixed on the squirming boy. "Just tell me where she is." Cash made a face.

"Do I have to? I'm scare of her." he said moaning. "Especially when she's like this."

"Who are you more afraid of? Me, or her?" Chris asked, standing up to his full 6'4" height. Cash took a step backwards, looking up at him at his 5'9" height.

"Honestly? She'll kick me in the balls. You wont." Cash said flinching.

"What makes you so sure?"

"Ok ok enough." Phoebe said standing between the two as Chris took a threatening step forward. "Please Cash, tell me where Patience is. Tell me where my daughter is." Phoebe asked, her eyes pleading with Cash's. He sighed.

"She's at some club in Northern California."

"Damnit. I should have guess. I never could clear her of her clubbing habits." Chris said rolling his eyes. "I'll follow you there." he instructed, and a moment later the two boys disappeared one in flames and the other in blue orbs.

Phoebe sat back down at the table and looked at her sisters.

"Are you sure you're ready to handle this Pheebs? I mean, if you freak out again, Patience will probably never come back." Piper said soothingly, grabbing the breakfast dishes. Phoebe was silent while Piper and Paige washed them, sending each other glances while patiently waiting for Phoebe's response.

After a good five minutes or so, Phoebe sighed. "Yeah, I'll be fine. It's just mind blowing, you know?" she shrugged, then screamed and ducked. "DEMON!" Phoebe said, as Piper and Paige dropped the dishes in the sink they were cleaning and rushed over to Phoebe. They chased the black and white faced demon into the entrance hall and Phoebe levitated, kicking it in the face. Piper flicked her wrists as Phoebe landed out of the way. But her combustion barely affected him at all and the sisters squealed.

"Upstairs! GO GO GO!" Piper said ushering them up the stairs. The demon followed, growling.

"CHRIS!" Paige called as she entered in the attic, rushing over to the Book. Leo appeared instead, his back to the door.

"What's going on Paige?" he asked curiously, but there wasn't an answer as the demon sent Leo flying into the wall. He grunted, walking over to Leo as Paige crashed a lamp over his head. He was unswayed.

"You're not the boy." the demon grunted, turning to look around. He waved his hand and a swirling black rip in time appeared in the middle of the room. The demon looked up as Chris and Patience orbed into the room, followed by Cash. The demon's eyes widened and he tossed Leo into the rip like he was a doll before sending Chris after him.

"CHRIS!" Patience yelled, diving after him and the demon.

"STAY HERE!" Cash ordered diving after Patience. Piper scoffed loudly and rushed over. "We're not taking orders from you!" Piper said, then yelped as she was sucked into the void. With a yelled Paige and Phoebe dived in just as the portal closed, hoping to save their sister.

As it closed, the Halliwell Manor was completely silent.
