[beenthroughthat]

He felt somewhat reassured after the news Cole had given him last night, but Sam didn't think he was going to feel completely better until they actually had Phoebe back with them

Piper was starting to get frustrated with the lack of information she seemed to have, so she wandered next door to see if maybe Anders or Cole knew anything more.

Sam shuffled out of the study when he heard the knock on the door, and if it was any indication of his state of mind he didn't even think to muster up some appearance of hostility when he saw Piper.

"Hey," he said roughly, gesturing her back into the study.

"Hey," Piper replied, following him to the study. "Have you even slept?"

That was genuine concern in her tone.

"Little bit," Sam said, rubbing at his eyes. "We, um. We got a message from Phoebe."

Phoebe had found herself back at the house again.

When she saw Anders slumped in front of her computer, she let out a sad sigh.

"Oh Anders..."

Sam had half dozed off in the chair, but for some reason he found himself jolted awake again, thinking of Phoebe.

"Baby, I miss you," he mumbled.

[sleepswthdemons]

"I know, sweetie," she sad sadly, sitting on the floor next to his chair. "It wasn't supposed to happen like this."

"Wish I could sense you," Sam added, feeling oddly better for saying these things out loud even though he was only talking to himself. "But I can't, not with you g -- gone. I swear we'll get you back though, babe. I promised."

Despite the news of yesterday, Cole hadn't slept, either. His mind was too concerned by going over what he knew and what they could possibly do to save Phoebe -- and kill Anton as slowly and painfully as possible, of course.

Late in the morning he wandered into the study to check on Sam. "Hey," he said softly.

"Gave up on trying to sleep too, huh?" asked Sam, turning to look, bleary-eyed, at Cole.

[holdingontolove]

"Yeah," Cole said, running a hand through his hair. "How you holding up?"

"I probably look better than I feel," Sam admitted ruefully. "You don't look so hot yourself, though. Did you at least have the good, inspired kind of sleep deprivation?"

Sam, disheveled and looking quite frankly like hell, came to the door. "Tori . . . hey."

[beenthroughthat]

"You still know me too well," Sam noted, forcing a tiny smile of his own. "Hear you guys got a bit of an attack over at your place the other night."
