Chapter 4:Manhunt

"You know you guys may find this funny but I don't. I'm always the one that gets kidnaped and I'm damn tired of it as a matter of fact I intended on notifying the elders that I'm going on strike until the demons learn to treat me right." Lilly fumed she was so not a happy camper. For starters she was dressed up just like an Indian out of the wild west. And that was not to mention the fact that she had been kidnaped by none other than Captain Hook and had been tied to an anchor in the middle of an ocean or whatever the hell it was you wanted to call it. But seriously the fact that she was wearing a buckskin dress and had on moccasins and a feather sticking out of her head was pissing her off to no end. Her mood was not helped by the fact that her boyfriend was no where to be found as usual. "I mean it you guys this isn't funny you try just sitting at your kitchen table minding your own business when out of nowhere you get attacked by a demon and are sent to Never Land.

This just brought on another bought of laughter from her friends and her younger brother who was so going to pay for this when they got home. The only one that was kinda quiet and withdrawn was Prue she had hoped she would find her only brother somewhere in this mess and she had hoped they would. She told herself that she was overreacting and that Jake the lucky bastard was most likely back home trying to get them home. But she couldn't shake the feeling that he was in trouble and that he had been trying to contact her but she just couldn't get the message.

"Come on Lilly stop whining Chuck, Ro and I were just damn near burnt at the stake and you complain about a little water. I swear we go through every witch's worst nightmare and you still think you have it worse." Chris rambled to his friend a gleam in his eye that wasn't up to his usual level of shit stirring. Like Prue he couldn't shake the feeling that someone most likely Hank was trying to contact him but he just couldn't make out what the hell he was saying.

Liz shook her head and silently swore she was never watching Peter Pan again as long as she lived this was too much even for her. "Can't we just use a spell to get home that would make a lot of sense we are witches after all we should be able to do that." She begged she just wanted to go home and get some sleep she had to be up early to referee Wyatt and Chuck and this just wasn't fair.

Wyatt couldn't help but laugh at his friend. "Lizzie it's never that simple and you know it." he said simply shivering a little when he saw the look that she shot him it was most likely for him calling her Lizzie he was the only one that could get away with it but she still hated it.

"Well then how does this stupid movie play out I have to get out of so I can go to work or Piper will kill me." Roman said shaking at the thought of what his boss would do to him if he missed work without telling her.

Chuck went to retort something along those lines when suddenly the scene faded away and they found themselves in the attic of the manor finally. "I don't know what just happened but I'm glad to be back home." he practically shouted and then he pulled Prue to him and kissed her ignoring the angry look Wyatt gave him.

15 Minutes Earlier in the underworld

Ricky and Patty had projected in just outside the cave that belonged to Pith Henry and the others would be down soon. These two were the advanced party since Ricky could only really project himself and one other person with any hope at being accurate. Henry would have Mel sense for them when they got down there.

'So I guess we wait they should be here any second unless Henry and Grams got into another fight." Patty said a little uneasy about being alone with Ricky even if it was in the underworld.

"Yeah they should be but you know my sister she may have had to fix her hair while Henry and Grams had a round." Ricky joked trying to put them both at ease things were so complicated between them since they got older.

Henry walked up behind them and cleared his throat causing them both to jump. "Always pay attention down here if you don't you could get yourself seriously hurt." He said shaking his head "Mel, Ricky, Charlie, and I are going in there. Carly you and Em stay here in case we need you to come rescue us and stand guard." He went on knowing that they were in sad shape if they had to have Carly and Emily rescue them.

Emily looked relieved by the fact that she wouldn't have to go in that cave and fight but Carly was kind of pissed she was the older twin if anyone stayed behind it should be Patty. But she didn't say anything she could give her brother hell when they got home and besides they still had to deal with this stupid Titan.

"Just stick to the plan and we'll be out of here in five minutes tops." Henry said looking Ricky, Patty, and Mel in the face letting them know that everything was going be ok.

"Alright lets do this." Mel said as they began walking into Pith's cave.

The four walked in to find Pith standing over his well that he used to see the condition of the victims of his fantasy worlds. They could all see that he was watching over his current set of victims who it looked like he had managed to trap in the same place. Mel had a sharp intake of breath when she recognized Chris, Chuck, and Ro all tied to a stake and Indians were about to set fire to them.

"Ah the next generation I was wondering how long it would take you to come after me." Pith said whirling on his heel to face them.

"See I'm in a generous mood so if you let our family go I won't vanquish your sorry ass." Mel said sounding just like Piper and causing Henry to groan he knew he should have never brought her.

"Now I'd listen to my cousin if I were you or else we both start blasting." Henry said backing her up. "Mel freeze him and then unfreeze only his head." he sent her telepathically.

Mel flexed her fingers and then she unfroze only the demon's head so they could question him.

'What the hell ? You let me go right now!" Pith demanded they didn't know anything about him if they thought they could trat him this way and get away with it.

"Stop all your complaining we'll be the ones asking the questions here." Patty informed him her hands on her hips.

"Now who sent you ?" Ricky asked in his best authoritative voice he had an inferiority complex to match Chris's.

"Like I'd tell you stupid witch." Pith hissed out only to howl in pain a moment later because Henry blew his hand off.

"Lets try this again who sent you ?" Henry barked out he was a lot more scary then Ricky so he figured he might have better luck.

Pith just remained silent he wasn't going to rat anyone out. When Henry saw that he wasn't going to answer he nodded to Mel who blew off his other hand. Pith screamed out in pain but he still stayed silent. "Look we can do this all day until you have nothing left to blow off or you can answer our questions." Patty told him wanting to get her cousins back because they still had a Titan to deal with.

Pith was still going to remain silent but then he thought better of it when he saw Mel flexing her fingers. "Alright, alright I'll tell you just don't blow anything else off," he begged causing a satisfied look to cross Mel's face. "It was the source he put me up to it he said that I could help him and have my revenge on Chris for what he did to my father." He explained.

Henry satisfied he was telling the truth called Mel off. "Why did the source send them all off ?" he asked there had to be a greater purpose behind that plan and he knew it.

"He wanted you guys distracted but for I what I don't know I swear I don't." Pith cried they had reduced him to a crying little schoolgirl.

"He doesn't know anything else you guys so let's get out of here." Henry said turning his back and walking away but when Pith least expected it he turned and threw a potion at him hitting him right in the center of his chest causing him to explode. Henry was instantly reminded that his body still wasn't healed from him getting shot an intense pain shot through him but he kept silent to keep the others from worrying. "Carly get you and Em out of here we're going home." he ordered telepathically.

"We're out of here." Carly sent back she orbed her and Emily out the second Henry gave her the all clear.

"Mel take me home I never knew not being able to orb sucked so bad." Henry said putting his arm around his younger cousin so she could orb them both.

Patty naturally orbed with Ricky even though he had his own means of transportation. Causing both Henry and Mel to shake their heads. "They are such idiots." Mel observed.

"Complete and total idiots but still not on the same level as Wy and Liz." Henry added as Mel orbed them home where the rest of the calvary was waiting for them. Man they had gotten desperate when their backup was two ghosts and a whitelighter who was their dead aunt's boyfriend. Oh how he hoped this plan had worked he needed someone else to put at the mercy of Grams.

They had failed pure and simple no doubt about it they had failed their plan was foolproof there was no reason it shouldn't have worked. Henry and Ricky were standing at the kitchen counter with frowns on their faces. The four girls were seated at the table along with Patty and Grams.

"Damn it that plan should have worked." Henry growled out as he slammed his fist down on the counter in anger. He hit the counter hard but he didn't even flinch he was too pissed off to notice pain of any kind other than the pain in his heart at the moment his family was missing and he couldn't even rescue them.

Everyone in the room looked at Henry shocked by his outburst he was normally the quiet one out of the oldest five. Patty walked over to her grandson and put her hand on top of his. "Henry I know that you're upset but we will get them back I promise lets focus on finding mother nature for right now though." she said trying to comfort him like she had never been able to do for her girls when they needed her.

"Ok I worked out a backup plan just in case the last one didn't work. We're going to get to Mother Nature the same way we just got to Pith so Ricky be ready this plan won't work without you. Mel could you please head up to the attic and get the book and the vanquishing potion we used for Armes ?" he asked sighing and then he saw the look Mel gave him and he realized that she hadn't been around when they vanquished Armes. "It's bright blue Mel you can't miss it everyone's favorite half whitelighter made it so be careful and don't drop otherwise the whole manor might explode." he explained and Mel instantly knew that he was referring to his mother Paige's potions had the tendency to be dangerous to everyone not just demons.

"I'll get it but we're going to need to brew some just in case potions because we're out." Mel replied and saw that Henry had his eyebrow arched in a question "Our moms went out on a mass vanquish while you were in the hospital don't ask."She said as she headed up the stairs to get the things Henry had asked for.

"Alright who wants to risk their life by messing up Piper Halliwell's kitchen ?" she heard her older cousin ask as she climbed the stairs.

When Mel set foot in the attic she headed for the potions shelf and then she went for the book but en route she was interrupted by something that warmed her heart and lifted a big weight off of her shoulders. Out of nowhere both her brothers, her oldest female cousin, Chuck, Ro, and Lilly appeared. In all their excitement none of them bothered to take notice of Mel who was treated to a Chuck and Prue make out session. She was happy for them she really was but they seriously needed to get a room before they made her sick. That was it there were no two ways about it she had to stop this insanity.

"Just where in the hell have you guys been we have been looking all over for you ?" Mel asked stepping in front of them and putting her hands on her hips she had Piper's angry stance down pat. She narrowed her eyes and formed a frown on her face in her best impression of her mother to get them to answer her.

"Oh God Mel I never thought I would be so glad to see you in my entire life I was in hell and all those bozos over there thought it was funny." Lilly cried as she wrapped Mel in a tight hug cutting the younger witch's breath off.

A look of discomfort crossed Mel's face as she struggled to breathe. "Lilly I'm really glad to see you too but you've got to let me go or I'm gonna pass out." she managed to get out.

Seeing what she was doing to the other young woman Lilly quickly released her and said "Sorry I was just excited to be home." this comment caused the other missing six to burst out in laughter.

"Right I get it. Now one of my two brothers better start answering my questions before I blow them up." Mel said sternly arching her eyebrow. Both Halliwell brothers flinched at this statement they knew like their mother she wouldn't hesitate to do as she threatened.

"Let's just go downstairs and get some food and we'll explaineverything this is the longest I have ever been without food I think I'm going to pass out. And there is no sense in me doing that when I know your mom has a well stocked kitchen." Chuck practically bagged causing Prue to shoot her boyfriend a look that would have killed him had it been within her power to do so.

"Alright but you all better start explaining your asses off when we get down there or else I will make good on my threat and it won't be pretty I'm not in the best mood with you guys."Mel said turning on her heels to walk out of the attic almost forgetting the things that Henry had asked to come up there for in the first place. She went back over to the podium that housed the book of shadows and she grabbed it and the potion she had gone up there for.

"Henry that was the worst idea I have ever heard. I mean honestly just when you were starting to win some points back with me you come up with that nonsense . I swear you men don't ever use the brains that you were given you just put words together that you think sound good and you say them without thought to what the consequences will be." Everyone heard a voice that sounded frighteningly like Grams' scream.

All the Halliwell cousins shivered and Prue voiced all their fears "Was that who I think it was ?" she asked hoping she was just hearing things if Grams was there things weren't looking so good.

"Grams yes and from the sounds of it she is not happy at the moment. It must be bad if grandma lost control of the old bird." Mel commented wryly cursing Patty to hell once again there was no need to summon Grams they had things under control.

Wyatt and Chris both rolled their eyes. What had Henry allowed Mel to do ? They were both going to kill him when they got their hands on him. And they were not going to show him any mercy. "Who summoned Grams Mel ?" Wyatt asked silently praying it wasn't her he did not want to have to do bodily harm to his baby sister but if the situation called for it he would.

Mel couldn't help but let a grin come to her face all the Halliwell men minus Hank were terrified of her. She had to keep that in mind for when they went off the deep end for her going into the underworld. "Oh that would be none other than Ms. Patty Charlotte Matthews I won't even put Halliwell on the end of that because she has already been disowned. And you can have your shots at her after Henry and I have finished." she replied by now stifling a laugh now was so not the time they still had a demon and mother nature to deal with.

"Oh that's just peachy after the day we've already had we have to come home to deal with her." Prue groaned out noting that she would remember this the next time her cousin needed her to cover for her.

"Come on lets go face the music and get something to eat I seriously am about to starve." Chuck said draping his arm around Prue's shoulders and leading her out of the attic.

"Mel we will discuss your role in summoning Grams later now we have to go deal with her." Chris said giving his sister a dirty look and leading her out of the attic wondering what they were up to with the book and that potion but he knew for a fact it couldn't be good at all. Mel just rolled her eyes at him she knew he wouldn't do anything to her he wasn't capable of it, it was Wy she had to watch out for.

Down in the kitchen to put it mildly things had gotten a little out of control Henry had made just one simple suggestion that had set Grams off and he was a little proud of himself for being able to push her buttons so well.

Grams had a scowl plastered on her face of all the stupid things she had ever heard. Leave it to the youngest half whitelighter of the generation to suggest stashing mother nature in a nunnery the idea was absurd to say the least. "Henry please tell me you were joking." she begged him she had given credit as being one of the smartest in his generation and now he said something like that.

A hint of a smile played on Henry's lips he had only been teasing but the more he thought of it the better the idea sounded. "I was at first but then thinking about it, it might be a good idea evil can't get on hallowed ground and I don't know any holier ground than a nunnery." he said ignoring the look his great-grandmother was giving him she would get over it eventually.

Ricky stifled a laugh this was better than watching Lilly and Ro fight and his brother and sister went at it quite often. He was going to ask a question but he refrained from it when he saw the look on Grams' face he didn't want to cross her.

"Ok what if half of us go find mother nature and the other half deal with the titan ?" Patty asked trying to keep the peace knowing she was in for it once this whole thing was over.

Grams looked thoughtful for a moment and said " That might work but it's dicey you would have to orb mother nature in the minute you killed the titan otherwise someone else would show up trying to fill the vacuum. And besides that it would have to be four of you going against the demon leaving only Henry and Mel to go get mother nature since their powers don't work against water demons. I don't want any of you getting hurt and Henry and Mel most likely would because it would only be the two of them."

"Oh be still my heart not only does Grams think I'm a gentleman but she also doesn't want me to get hurt. That is two nice things she has said to me today I don't know if I can take it. I know this is a stretch but dare I say it I think she might actually love me." Henry said batting his eyelashes at Grams and giving her a sweet smile. He sighed for dramatic effect oh how he loved to push her buttons.

Grams rolled her eyes at him and turned to Carly and asked "Tell me was he raised to be a smart ass ? Or did he take lessons ?" When Carly shrugged she went on "Henry you're my grandson of course I love you I just want you to live to an old age so I bust your balls to keep those stupid ideas out of your head. You're too much like your mother for your own good." she said finally cutting him some slack after all he did have a darklighter arrow wound still in his leg that would kill him if they didn't find a way to fix this and she didn't want him to join her in the afterlife any time soon.

"Hey guys ," Mel said bouncing into the kitchen with the book and the potion. She saw Ricky and Patty working on the potions she asked for and as usual Carly and Emily were doing nothing. "Look who I found in the attic." she gestured behind her and everyone saw all the missing siblings they had been trying to find all day.

A victorious smile crossed Henry's face he was proud he had managed to get the girls to help him to get them back and none of them had gotten hurt. Except for him but that was before they went into the underworld. Now let that show them that he didn't need them to fight demons. "It's about time. About damn time you guys came to rescue me. I have been stuck with Piper Jr, a mini version of Aunt Prue, Paige Jr, a younger version of Lilly, forgive me but a male version of Aunt Phoebe." he wailed pointing to Mel, Carly, Patty, Emily, and Ricky as he ranted.

"Why the hell are Grams and grandma here ?" Wyatt asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Oh no you guys explain first." Mel said eyeing her oldest brother sternly she was going to get the answers she wanted and fast. "Well I'm waiting." she went on pointedly crossing her arms over her chest when she no one was going to answer her.

"So it happened like this..." Prue began.

Fifteen minutes later she had managed to explain in a nutshell what had happened to them and why they hadn't been able to reach them all day. Everyone in the kitchen was in stitches at the thought of them being stuck in Never Land and being dressed as characters out of Peter Pan. Henry's booming laugh was the one that could be heard the clearest.

He was laughing so hard that he had tears running down his face but then something hit him that made him go serious for a moment "Uh, guys where is Coop ?" he asked a worried look on his face he thought for sure Jake had to be with them oh what had demon boy gotten himself into ?

"The jerk is probably sleeping knowing him." Lilly said mad that her boyfriend wasn't subjected to the same torture that she was.

Prue was close to panic that didn't sound right Jake would never sleep that late. "Cooper Jacob Halliwell get your ass to the manor now." she yelled out and waited for him to come but he never showed. "Now I'm worried there is no way he could sleep through a storm like this." she said .

"Oh yeah you guys got back just in time we have a titan to deal with but not just any titan a water demon." Henry explained this day just kept getting better and better. He should have known that it wouldn't have been as simple as getting them back and then taking out their demon. No like always his youngest male cousin had to find a way to get himself in trouble. oh this is just great. He thought smacking himself on the forehead as he prepared to explain what the hell was going on.

"Paige I'm seriously worried not it's not like the kids not to call all day I'm going to the manor to see if they're there." Piper announced standing up from her spot at the table.

"Oh boy." Paige thought rolling her eyes this was not going to go over well with Piper at all. "Piper I don't know where they all are or what they're doing not one of them answered their phones." she said and braced herself for the wrath of her oldest sister that thankfully was interrupted.

A shower of blue and white orbs filled the room but it wasn't one of the kids like they were hoping it was none other than Kyle Brody Paige's last boyfriend before Henry.

"What the hell are guys doing sitting around here ? There is a titan on the lose." Kyle said by way of greeting.

"Whoa, whoa hold up just one second we haven't seen you in over twenty years and you greet us like this. And we didn't know there was a titan on the lose." Piper shot back her temper was hot enough as it was he better not push her or else she would blow him up.

"Kyle what makes you think we know anything about a titan ?" Paige asked having gotten over the shock of seeing him again after all those years.

"Because four of your kids know all about it they have been trying to find a way to stop it all day. That is after they managed to find all your other kids. Which judging by the looks you're both giving me you know nothing about." Kyle said calming down before he got himself in trouble. " You guys might want to go get Phoebe I think you might need her there is no way your kids can stop this demon without your help."he explained.

"See I told you that they were in trouble Paige. Now lets go get Phoebe Kyle you're coming too." Piper ordered grabbing both of the whitelighters forcing them to orb to her other sister. She hadn't wanted to be right but she was she couldn't bare the thought that her babies needed her and she hadn't been there for them all day. "Well lets get a move on here people time is wasting." she bitched at both of them until they got wise and orbed her.

Phoebe was sitting on the side of the bed in her hotel room her husband and two daughters had gone out but she was tired and decided that she was going to take a nap and then meet up with them later. All day she hadn't been able to shake the feeling something wasn't right but she had just pushed it to the back of her mind. She was just getting ready to lay down when she was rocked with a premonition.

Jake was propped up against a cavern wall in what had to be the underworld. He was bleeding from his stomach where he had been hit with an energy ball. He groaned out in pain and called for every member of his family who would have the ability to come help him. In the midst of his calling out the source appeared and formed an fireball in his hand which he launched at Jake.

Phoebe came out of her vision covered in a cold sweat not her baby, not her only boy she couldn't lose him she had no idea what she would do all she knew was she had to save him and fast. She opened her mouth to call for her sister but before she could even get it out Piper, Paige, and Kyle a man she hadn't seen in two decades appeared.

"Pheebs we have to go now there is trouble at home someone let a titan lose." Piper explained excitedly.

"Ok lets go the sooner we do that the sooner we can look for Jake the source has him." Phoebe said jumping to her feet waling over to the group allowing Kyle to take her hand and orb her out. She had lost her son once and she hadn't really put up a fight to save him. But every since the night Cole brought him home to her and Coop every time he had been in trouble she had been there for him. She wasn't about to let the source kill him without a fight.

Ben sat in a chair his eyes glazed over a deep black color like he had nothing but pupil. His eyes slowly changed back to their normal blue color and an evil grin appeared on his face if he couldn't get Gorgon to leave him alone then he would just have to sabotage his plans. And never let it be said they he didn't know how to use the powers he go from his good side they came in perfect when he wanted to play mind games. That was a genius premonition that he had just sent Phoebe he had led her right to Gorgon's door and hopefully killed his plan to get the half breeds to join him. Being evil was it's own reward sometimes. With the way the war between him and the source was playing out it would have obvious to anyone paying close attention that they were related by the zeal with which they fought each other. But luckily no one had taken the time to notice that fact. Hell most of them didn't even know who Ben was and that was the way he wanted to keep it for now the mystery of who he was only added to his credability.

"Hey Jackson, Morris thanks for rushing over to help out I know you police officers rather being doing anything else than helping us firemen out." Glen joked with the two cops.

"We had no other choice Uncle Glen the captain told us to come help you guys out and here we are." D.J. answered him he almost had to scream to make himself heard from the way the wind was whipping around and the rain actually sounded like a pounding drum.

"Alright all you have to do is help us sandbag in case of a flood. If this station gets washed out we're all screwed." Glen informed them as if they didn't know that and then he realized they were down a man. "Where is Chris ?" he inquired about his future son-in-law.

"Hopefully fixing this we haven't been able to get him on the phone all day. So I assume this might be the reason." Jason answered throwing a sandbag on top of some that were already there.

"Yeah I hope so too there is no way that this happened natural rain wasn't even in the forecast." Glen replied he hoped for his daughter's sake that her sometimes boyfriend was ok he had heard about the fact that they had kids together from Paige who told him all about the kids from the future.

"Uncle Glen you and Jason have to stop watching the weather channel you both think you're weathermen now and I can't take it anymore." D.J. said smirking at both of them as he began stacking sandbags too. He had grown up calling Glen uncle since he had been raised with the Halliwells after his dad and mom moved back from the East Coast.

"Darryl just shut up and get to stacking." Glen ordered in a joking manner. Why the hell was it that any time a demon had a problem with the Halliwells everyone else wound up having to do damage control ?

Chuck groaned as he opened his eyes something couldn't be happening to him for the second time today there was no way he could take it. He attempted to raise his arms but he couldn't seeing as he was shackled to the wall. "Oh great Chuck just great how do you get into these messes. Damn Halliwell women all they have to do is look at you with those big brown eyes and you can't say no. I just hope she comes to rescue me when this is all over with otherwise I'm breaking up with her." He said to himself. He had been talked into shimmering down to the underworld to see if he could find Jake by Prue who had to worry about some titan another demon brought back. So as usual he had to come look for the youngest Halliwell male.

"Chuck what the hell are you doing here ? You the one that has to get me out not get locked up with me." Jake said as he slowly made his way over to where Chuck was bound to the wall.

"Coop you look like hell. You doing ok ?" he asked concerned for his friend.

"I'm great now that you're here Bradford I won't be bored anymore." Jake said touched by the fact Chuck was worried about him.

"Oh we're in trouble when they finally get around to rescuing us my dad and Piper will kill us both." Chuck groaned causing Jake to laugh despite his pain. They were in so much trouble when they got out of here it wasn't funny. He could already hear Wyatt and it wasn't pleasant to think about.

"My mom just might ground us again and we were innocent this time or at least I was some demon kidnaped me this time I swear I didn't go looking for him." Jake said scooting closer to Chuck.

Chuck looked at his young friend with concern in his eyes there was no sugar coating it he wasn't in good shape but they had been thorough tougher scrapes together before and they had always got out of them with minimal bodily harm from demons their parents had been another matter. He shifted his gaze so Jake wouldn't see the fear in his eyes. "Coop let me tell you I was innocent this time too. Prue just batted her eyelashes at me and said 'Chip baby please go look for Jake he might be hurt.'" Chuck said raising his voice in a female falsetto in his best impression of his girlfriend " and of course I said ok babe I'll go find Coop and the best part is she didn't even have to kiss me to get me to do it. Because on to the great part Grams is there." He went on rolling his eyes he was so whipped it wasn't funny he was going to have to do something about his bruised male ego when he got out of here.

"Oh shit, Grams is there ? Explain to me what the hell is going on today I think we might have a little bit of time." Jake groaned he had a feeling that he had missed a lot being down here all damn day.

Chuck snorted and raised an eyebrow "Dude you have no idea your woman is going to kill you for what you missed today." Chuck said starting in on his explanation of the day's events.

"So Grams how do you think that plan will work ?" Wyatt asked his great-grandmother this was probably the fifteenth idea they had and Penny had shot them all down. He rubbed his face with both hands and sat on the counter which was something that would cause his mother to kill him but he didn't care.

"It's so crazy that it might work." Grams said frowning as she began to pace back and forth in the kitchen. She never was good at playing the waiting game but she couldn't let her great-grandchildren get themselves killed by following a stupid plan.

"Grams it has to work I know that it's dicey but we're Halliwells dicey is all we have sometimes." Prue groaned laying her head down on the counter they were running out of time and this arguing was getting them nowhere. And to top it all off now Chuck was missing right along with Jake.

"Whatever you have planned will never work without the power of three. This is a titan I can't believe you didn't call us." Piper fumed as she orbed in with Paige, Phoebe, and Kyle. Looking around she saw that her mom and grandma were both there and she felt herself getting very angry. "Mom, Grams what are you doing here ?" she asked tightly she was unhappy before but now she was downright pissed. She couldn't believe the kids would go to their grandmas before coming to them.

Both Paige and Phoebe busied themselves with making sure their children were ok in order to avoid the fall out from Piper's temper going off. Patty looked sheepishly at the floor they couldn't very well leave their grandchildren high and dry when they needed them but they should have tried to reach Piper.

Grams on the other hand took up an angry stance similar to the one Piper had and laid right into her. "Piper we had to come help Henry got shot by a darklighter and nobody here could heal him because he was with the three girls. And they were working on finding the others when they were attacked. He was in bad shape until he switched powers with Mel who partially healed him. So then they went and vanquished the demon that sent the others to Never Land and they got sent back. So you're caught up now." she said not backing down from Piper who didn't scare her in the least. This was not the time for Piper to be petty and get mad because the kids didn't come to her they had to think fast and did what they thought was right.

"What Henry you got shot by a darklighter ?" Paige shrieked out she couldn't stand the thought of any of he kids or Wyatt and Chris being hit by a darklighter arrow. The posion hurt worse than actually getting shot by the arrow and it worked slow in killing the person it hit.

"Look I'm fine now mom it's almost completely healed. But we have work to do and we have a plan. I swear we'll call you if we need help but we have it under control right now I promise we'll fill in the blanks later but now is not the time if we don't do something quick we won't have a world to worry about saving anymore." Henry said this was exactly the reason why he had been against calling the moms in the first place they tended to make things a lot more complicated. He took a deep breath knowing that what he just said was not going to put any of them at rest so he knew he had to explain as quickly as he could.

Wonders never ceased to amaze Roman no matter what happened to be going on at the moment didn't seem to matter unless it was a dire emergency Piper always sent him to work to hold down the fort. Not that he wasn't glad he got to sit this one out after he got sent to Never Land he was glad that he got a little break. Cooking would calm his nerves it always did now if only he could get the rest of the chefs to do what he wanted them to he would be in good shape.

"Ro I can't find that cut of meat you asked me for you're going to have to come in the freezer and help me find it." Ken the bumbling chef who had a thing for Mel said. And little did he know that Mel might of had a thing for him too.

"Yeah sure just let me turn this pan off so I can help you look." Ro said as he turned off the pan he currently had in front of him. Little did he know going to the freezer with Ken would be one of the biggest mistakes in his life. He knew better than to make things easy for demons but at the time he didn't know that's what he was doing.

Jake could feel his eyelids getting heavier by the second and knew it was from fatigue because upon closer inspection by Chuck his wound wasn't as serious as he first thought it was. He had managed to help get Chuck out of his shackles not that it did them any good they still couldn't get out of there. But he was Phoebe Halliwell's son picking a lock was second nature to him by the time he was twelve. And he apparently had her restless spirit too because almost the minute he graduated high school he took off to Europe for six months to find himself not that it had done him much good because he had decided to become a lawyer not a wise choice considering that's what Cole had been. If he got out of the mess he was currently in he thought he just might change his major he still had plenty of time. He heaved a great sigh and leaned his head back up against the rock wall trying to get comfortable.

"Something on your mind Coop ?" Chuck asked his friend seeing the worried expression on his face. Chuck was worried too not for himself but for his friend he didn't look like he was going to hold up much longer without sleep. And he was still obsessing over food if he didn't find a way out and get something to eat soon there would be nothing left of him for anyone to save.

"Oh I was just thinking," Jake said without opening his eyes so he never saw Chuck roll his eyes at him. " that since I'm Phoebe Halliwell's son that getting out of here should be no problem for me. I mean come now I did get you out of the chains after all. So getting out of here should be a walk in the park all we have to do is get out of this cave and then shimmer." he mused more out of boredom than anything else. At this point he had traced the triquetra so many times in the dirt he was running out of places to draw it.

Chuck shook his head and rolled his eyes at his friend again but he couldn't help but smile at him. "You're not the criminal mastermind you seem to think you are Cooper Jacob . Now if this was either of your younger sisters down here they would have done been out because unlike us they're a couple of escape artists." He said causing Jake to chuckle it was true his little sisters were a handful. But whether he wanted to admit it or not Emily wasn't much better she was always into something with Val and Penny.

"I see that you left your girlfriend out of that statement, she's not down here you know you can talk bad about her all you want I won't stop you." Jake replied still amazed at the power the women of his family held over men. He would never understand it if anyone was to ask him, he would tell them that all Halliwell women were pushy and stubborn to a fault.

"Oh, please," Chuck scoffed looking at his friend to see if he was serious and Jake nodded his head to show that he was. " no demon in their right mind wants to kidnap Prue she would drive them nuts. But she would also manage to vanquish them but she would have to call one of us guys to come help her get home." he continued with a grin referring to the fact that she still couldn't get her hearting under control. A fact that had caused all the men in her life pain for making fun of her for it.

A scowl appeared on Jake's face his demon sense's were telling him there was something not right with the fact that they were left unguarded but he sure as hell couldn't put his finger on what it was. "Shit." he muttered out of frustration he felt so powerless when he was anything but. And he also felt like he sensed one of his realitves it was possible but not very likely.

"What now Coop ?" Chuck asked shaking his head honestly this was the only person he knew who could complain as much as his sister Emily. And that was saying something because Emily complained almost 24/7.

"Nothing, Chuck I just want to get the fuck out of here instead of waiting around for something to happen. And for just a second I thought I sensed somebody that I know but it turned out to be nothing." Jake explained closing his eyes to see if he could sense any of his family but to no avail. He must have been losing his mind from a lack of sleep and food.

Chuck climbed quickly to his feet and brushed the dirt off of himself. He had enough of this bullshit if no one was going to make sure they stayed put they were going to take the opportunity to make a break for it. "Come on we're not sitting around here anymore we're making a break for it." He said giving his to Jake to help him up. If they got hurt trying to escape Piper could kill them for it later at least they would be alive.

Jake used Chuck's outstretched hand to pull himself up not an easy task considering he was tired and hadn't had anything to eat all day. " Let's get the fuck out of dodge I think I'm starving to death." he said as they quietly made their way out of the cavern that they were being held in.

Gorgon was once again sitting in his throne room deep in his own thoughts when a female demon shimmered and interrupted his peace.

"My liege I thought that you might like to know that your prisoners are escaping." the demon said bowing down.

Gorgon looked indifferent at that news "Let them I have bigger problems to deal with now I can always capture them again later." he said with a dismissive wave of his hand and the demon shimmered out. But he knew that he wouldn't have to hold them hostage again he had sowed a seed in C.J.'s head that would soon start to grow.

"You can come out of the shadows now Ken I need a report on how that other situation is going." Gorgon ordered beckoning to him with a hooked finger.

"It's taken care of you just need to put the finishing touches on it yourself. But I need to go back before someone gets suspicious." Ken said and he flamed out when Gorgon nodded his head. He had to keep up appearances otherwise someone would figure out that he was up to something and considering who he worked for that was not a good thing.

The evil smirk that had left his face earlier was back now Ben thought he could undermine his authority well he had news for him it wasn't going to happen. That boy was about to go down in flames for thinking he could mess with him. The beautiful part about this plan was he barely had to lift a finger to get rid of him and his conscience would be clear because he wouldn't have killed him.

A/N: So this chapter is done. What do you guys think Gorgon and Ken are up to now ? A better question would be just how the hell are Gorgon and Ben related ? Those answers and many more will come out soon as will Jake's secret. And oh Yeah what about the deal Leo made with the others ? So many questions so little time lol. So drop me a review or PM me if you think you know Ben's true idenity that's going to be a big player in future episodes. Please review I have four episodes up and I don't even have one review so pretty please make my day (begging on my knees lol).
