Chapter Eleven: Partners in Stopping Crime

Half my time was already gone. 12 precious hours...5 of them spent sleeping. I have to admit they were so much better than in heaven. They were vivid. Warm. They felt good.

Sleep felt different. I felt...tired when I woke up. It had been so many years since I truly felt tired. Today was one of those days.

I woke up and heard whispering from Phoebe and Prue about Piper. Listening for a few minutes I could hear the intense worry in their voices.

I snuck out. I didn't walk far, but my feet just carried me. I found myself in a graveyard. In front of a grave. It read, Andrew David Trudeau. Rest in Peace.

It was a beautiful grave. I was overcome with a weird feeling. I didn't ever think I'd see my own grave.

"Thought I might find you here." Darryl said walking up to me. Apparently, his son had twisted his ankle at school, but was going to be alright.

"You know, Andy, you've really did a great thing. I mean...even though you died you provided the sisters with more time to protect innocent people. To rid the world of evil.

"I know." I whispered, my eyes transfixed on my grave.

Darryl looked down at my grave. The ground was hard, yet there were flowers. One on my grave. It looked rather fresh. It was a single rose.

"You know she places roses here all the time. I do it sometimes too." Darryl said, his eyes wandering to the same place mine were. The flowers.

"How much time do you have left?" Darryl asked checking his watch. "Maybe 11 and a half an hour." I murmured looking up at Darryl. "Well go spend it with Prue before you never see her again."

"Are you sure?" I asked Darryl. We hadn't had all that much time together. "Yeah. One thing I've learned is that you have to take advantage of what you can before you can't anymore." Darryl and me shared one more look. Of understanding. Of frienship.

"See you on the other side." I grinned sharing a quick embrace with Darryl. "See you then." Darryl grinned going back to his car and waving.

I waved back as Darryl drove away. I wouldn't see him again for a long time.

"Hey, so I figured out a name for the TV show." Darryl grinned walking up to Andy's desk.

"Oh really? What would you named it?" Andy asked, curiously.

"I thought Charmed would sound good. With all the crazy and wild cases we track down and with your whole thing with Prue."

"Yeah. Charmed sounds pretty good. Could probably make a big channel like the WB" Andy grinned, laughing with his partner.

"We have enough drama going on to last like, at least 8 seasons." Darryl and Andy were laughing really hard.

"Alright let's get back to work, before the chief gets on to us. Right, Director?" Andy grinned as Darryl walked back to his desk, grinning.

"Charmed." Andy grinned under his breath. It sounded pretty good.

It took me awhile, but I found my way back to the Manor. Prue and Phoebe both ran to me, worried. "Where the hell were you?" Prue asked, relieved, and angry.

"I was...saying goodbye to Darryl." I left out the part about meeting at my grave. I didn't want to make them more concerned.

"I'm sorry I ran out so much yesterday Andy. I kept going to the library desperate to find something...anything that could help with Piper. Since the book isn't giving any answers.." Phoebe looked down at her hands.

"I don't understand what you are going through. But I know it isn't easy." I said.

Phoebe nodded. "But anyways. You don't have all that many hours left. Like 10. So lets celebrate. I'm pretty sure we have wine...or beer in the fridge." Phoebe said walking towards the kitchen.

I raised my eyebrows. "You really trust her by herself in the kitchen?" I laughed taking a step towards Prue. She shook her head laughing as Phoebe yelled "Hey! I heard that!"

I was going to miss this.
