"Damn it Darryl! I have told you everything I know." Phoebe shouted at him.
"Phoebe I'm sorry, I know this is hard, but I need as much as you can tell me. Are you sure there isn't anything else you might have missed?" he looked at her with a knowing look. He wasn't to keen in a supernatural hunt but he needed to know.
Phoebe found herself falling back into the couch. "Look Darryl, Leo and I have tried everything we know at that end. So far we haven't found anything."
"So you are ruling out anything.. …"
"Supernatural? No not yet." She said taking in a deep breath. "Darryl just look from your end see what you can find. Leo and I will continue at ours. Come over tonight and let's see what we got."
"OK." He reached out and took her hand in his giving it a gentle squeeze; "We'll find them Phoebe."
"Thanks."
Dr. Williamson walked into the lab as he had many times before. But tonight seemed different somehow. He knew that he and Dr. Jefferies were on the edge of something big. The only thing that was in their way was a way of control. But he thought he had that covered as well.
He walked in to see Jefferies standing with his arms crossed in front of the large cage. He wasn't saying anything, he was just seemingly starring at the floor.
"Anything new?" he asked as he moved in beside his colleague.
"No change." He started to move towards another door. "Follow me."
Opening the other door they past through in silence before again they stood beside a large cage.
"Get the lights." Jefferies said almost in a whisper.
Curtis Williamson turned and flicked on the light that was resting on the top of the cage. Sending light down on its lone occupant.
She looked at the two of them standing there so smug. "Let me out of here."
"Now Prue we can't do that. You and your sisters are a miracle of science. Forgetting the miracle Piper made with Arroyo fever. There is this little trick you can do. Let me see what was it? Oh. Moving things with your mind."
"You're mad." Prue glared at him as she stepped closer to the bars.
"Am I?" Jefferies questioned her, almost daring her to prove him wrong. "Then explain to me how it is, that a monkey, with your blood, moved a syringe towards Dr Williamson here, and got itself it own banana?"
Prue starred at him almost seemingly right through him.
"And another monkey, with Pipers blood, stopped your monkey from getting said banana. Froze it right in mid air. Not bad for a monkey wouldn't you say."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Hmmm. Maybe. But I doubt it. Now I know with your abilities you could probably break right out of here. But know this. If you try, your sisters will both suffer the consequences. Not to mention what would happen if the rest of the world found out about you three." He held her glare with one of his own.
She saw in his eyes-only madness. And she knew she had no choice but to stay where she was. For now. "Where are they?"
"Oh don't worry, for now they are safe." He turned to leave the room before stopping and turning slightly towards her, "As your are."
Prue stood her ground as they left the room. She heard the click of the door before looking around the darkened room. They had left the light on her, as the remainder of the room stayed in darkness. But she saw one small bit of light and looked into the warm deep brown eyes of a monkey. He looked at her as if knowing her pain. "So it was you that came to see me at the beach? Any ideas how to get out of here?"
He just looked at her before screeching and jumping up and down.
"Didn't think so."
Phoebe held the crystal over the map of the city as she closed her eyes and focused on her sisters. She knew they had to be somewhere even if they were in the underworld. But she started to think during the day and she was beginning to think that her sisters weren't in demon trouble, but human trouble. Which in that case she and Leo would have to be careful.
Even though she was a witch, she didn't want to expose their magic to the world in her search for her sisters.
The her magic connected with the pull to the crystal as it stood up on the map. "Gotcha. LEO!"
"She looked pissed off." Curtis said as the two made their way back to the main lab.
"Yeah I saw that. But she'll behave. As long as she thinks she is protecting her sisters."
"That's just it. We only have Piper."
Dr Jefferies stopped and looked at Dr Williamson, "She doesn't know that. Even if she did attempt escape, and found Piper. They would be recaptured before they figured out Phoebe isn't even here."
Dr Williamson watched as Dr. Jefferies walked away leaving him standing in the lab alone with and unconscious Piper still lying on the floor. He wasn't sure anymore. Maybe this was going too far. Sure he had become curious when he had seen that needle flying towards him, and when the banana froze in mid air. But now they had kidnapped two people. And what of the third sister? He knew from before, that Phoebe was not just going to stop looking for them.
"Curtis?"
He turned and looked up at his brother in law Larry.
"We might have a problem."
"And what? We don't already? We kidnapped two people Larry. and need i remind you tht you are a cop. "
"Yeah I know, and Inspector Morris was just at the Halliwell house. I think maybe the sister is piecing things together."
"No way. She has nothing to tie us to any of this. She probably brought him to check a new angle. She probably thinks it some demon or whatever."
"I am telling you she knows." He insisted.
Curtis looked back at Piper as she started to come around. "Not here." He motioned for the door out of the lab.
As soon as the door to Piper was closed behind him he turned and looked at Larry. "Look you might be right. I remember her when Piper was in the hospital. She won't stop at anything till she finds them." He looked back at the door then to Curtis.
Jefferies walked in then to see the two of them talking quietly. "Larry. You're back."
"Yeah I was just telling Curtis that I think the youngest is gonna figure it out soon."
He walked over to the door to the lab where Piper was slowly pushing herself to a sitting position against the bars. "Can you take care of it? Discreetly?"
"Wait what are you saying? You can't be seriously considering killing her." Dr Williamson looked back and forth between Dr Jefferies and Larry. This was going too far.
Larry looked to his brother in law then to Dr. Jefferies. "If you are asking me to make it look like an accident. Yes." He said not even hesitating. He knew if she found them out, he would go to jail as much as the others would. And as a cop, that was one place he didn't look forward to going to. He cast one more glance through the window to Piper before turning and leaving the lab.
