Part 1: meeting
--------------------
Andy
entered the hospital. These crimes were bugging him. He had to find
the next victim, before another woman could be hurt... killed. He had
to keep searching this monster. Maybe Morris was right. Maybe it
weren't witches. When it just were women, Prue, Piper or Phoebe
could be next. After Penny died, he couldn't allow anything to
happen to one of them. Andy walked up to the nurse at the entrance.
"Hello"
"hello, how can I help you?"
"I'm
inspector Trudeau. Where can I find Doctor Gordon, please?"
Andy
asked, showing her his police mark.
"I understand. We just had
a change of shift, so I don't know about dr Gordon right now, but
let me just check with my colleague."
the nurse told Andy.
"Thanks Andy replied, but sighted as soon as she was gone. He
couldn't loose any more time. He laid the files they had collected
onto the counter and started to go through the information again.
Maybe he had forgotten something. He heard some footsteps, which
stopped right next to him. He ignored it. He didn't have time for
Smalltalk. He just wanted to see dr Gordon and get to know if he had
more information fro him. The nurse returned again. Andy looked back
up to see what she had, but before the nurse could talk to him, the
women next to him started to speak, nervously, fast, not able to wait
any second, scared
"Hey. I'm looking for my sister..."
Andy
froze. He knew that voice.
"... Phoebe Halliwell."
'Halliwell...'
Andy swallowed. It was Prue. She
was standing right next to him. He looked a little away, so she
wouldn't see him.
"One second please."
The nurse told
her.
'Maybe she forgot about me'
Andy thought
hopefully, when the nurse turned to face him again.
"What's the
name again?"
'Damn... ask something else... please just
not that question...'
he thought, not wanting Prue to
recognize him.
"Umm... Inspector Andrew Trudeau. Homicide. Dr
Gordon's expecting me."
the nurse went back into her cabinet
and Andy looked back down. He didn't see Prue. He didn't hear
what she said. He was lost in his files. He'd explain that this way
to Prue. He felt some view on him and knew, it was Prue's. Prue
looked at the back of the stranger. This voice. This hair. This
smell. This name!
"Andy?"
she asked.
'Damn!'
Andy cursed and turned around, looking at Prue. He put on a
surprised face
"Prue! I don't believe it!"
he said and
looked her over.
"How are you?"
he said, trying to make
small talk
"I'm good. How are you?"
Prue asked smiling.
She was fascinated. Andy was there! He looked so hot! But... he was
married...
"Fine... I just can't believe I'm running into you."
Andy said, smiling as well. He looked her over and saw the blue
eyes. The amazing body.
'Susan was right... I never stopped
loving her'
he thought.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"Susan!
Where the hell have you been!"
Andy asked his wife, who was
just entering their apartment. Andy had been sitting on the couch,
where a romantic dinner was now cold, the candles burnt down. But as
soon as he heard a key turning in the lock, he got up, to face his
wife
"none of your business..."
Susan said lowly. Calm.
Cold.
"It is my business! We wanted to spend the night
together... remember? Just you and me... I made dinner!"
Susan
didn't look at him once. She went without another word to their
bathroom. She turned the heater on and then went into the kitchen to
get herself something to drink
"was there something wrong at
work?"
Andy asked worried, going after her
"no"
Susan
said in that same voice
"what! What the hell is wrong with
you?"
Andy asked again
"what's wrong with me! What is
wrong with you! Who didn't come home anymore the past few nights,
who, huh? Me or you, Andy!"
"It was me... okay! But we
agreed to eat together tonight, for fucks sake!"
"I don't
care what we agreed, Andy."
She told him
"what?"
he
asked speechless. Susan freaked completely... she grabbed him by the
arm and dragged him over to the couch. She grabbed for the box under
the table, in which all the things of their best friend, Marcus, had
been packed into after his death. She put it on the table, breaking a
dish, when it fell to the floor. She opened it up, flipped through
the stuff. She found what she was looking for and pulled the picture
out
"THIS is what's wrong!"
she yelled at Andy
showing him the picture. On it were Prue and Andy, cuddled up into a
chair at the manor. Andy took in a sharp voice
"I sorted some
things out, so they won't permanently remind us on Marcus! That's
what we agreed on... I found the picture... and you came in... You
were crying... I didn't want to hurt you more..."
"You just
hurt me more than anything!"
"What?"
"You hid it,
Andy!"
"So!"
"So! You think you hurt me when you
are looking at your ex!"
"Yeah... cause you always reacted
jealous on the topic of Prue... my mom never was allowed to even talk
about her, when you were in the room..."
"That is not the
point, Andy... the point is, that you didn't want me to see you,
looking at it! You are still in love with her!"
"I am
not! Susie, this is over forever... I..."
"You (!) Have
never loved me"
she finished his sentence
"... you never
have stopped loving HER!"
Andy had starred at her. She was
lieing. This wasn't true. He loved Susan! He didn't say
anything... she didn't say anything. They just starred into each
other's eyes... everyone else Andy had punched immediately...
saying he didn't love his wife, but not his wife herself. Finally
he turned around and walked over to the wardrobe, he got into his
jacket and, without a word, left the apartment, revealing a Susan,
which was completely teared up.

A few hours later:
Richard
entered the 'sunset', a bar at the end of Portland. He looked
around and immediately recognized the man he was searching. Andy was
sitting at the bar, pouring down beer, per beer, drink by drink. A
couple of glasses already stood in front of him. Richard sighted. He
had lately found his son a lot like this. Susan always started to get
worried, when he wasn't home after twelve and so she then called
Andy's parents. Richard was searching his son in bars like this
almost 3 times a week since his best friend, Marcus, died. He knew
his son wasn't an alcoholic. He just tried to cover up his pain.
Richard watched as Andy was just about to poor down another glass of
whiskey and so he went up to him and grabbed the glass off his son's
hand, just as he was about to pour the golden liquid down his throat
"wha... heey! Wat te hell!"
"I think you had enough"
Richard said calmly
"daaad... heeey..."
Andy said,
his expression changing from furious to cheery...
"Come...
sit... let's have a beer..."
"Andy, I just told you, I
think you had enough..."
"One... one till matsches in"
Andy told him, not able to speak straight anymore
"no...
c'mon... let's go home..."
Richard told his son...
"Me
no wanna go home"
Andy told him with a mix of baby and drunken
voice. Richard looked at the bartender and handed him the still full
whiskey glass
"what is all of this?"
Richard asked
pointing to the glasses
"he had pretty much... I'll... make
it cheap... 20 bucks and we're okay... just get him out..."
Richard got his wallet out
"nooo... I can pay for myself!
Now gimme that visky"
"Andy, it's really enough now!"
"You are not the boss of me anymore!"
Andy blurted out
at his father
"you are right... I'm not your boss anymore...
and still... you're coming with me... whether you want to or not...
and if you aren't coming... I'll do a few calls and have some men
take you into drunk tank... pick what you want"
"I'm not
going home!"
Andy told him
"I wouldn't get you this
drunk..."
"Not drunk!"
Richard ignored him
"...
to Susan anyway... we go home... to mom... you can sleep in your old
bed..."
Andy didn't say anything and started to tumble
towards the entrance, while Richard paid the bar keeper.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
There
was a silence for a few seconds, while they just looked at each other
and Andy was deep in his thoughts.
'Goddess, Prue! You have
to stop! He's married!'
"Umm... I'm picking up Phoebe.
She had some kind of accident."
She explained. She needed
something to tell him and that was the most common one.
'Phoebe!'
it yelled inside of Andy. He was
automatically worried about his, kind of, baby sister.
"Oh...
Is she gonna be okay?"
Prue cracked inside. His voice sounded
full of worry
"Yeah, she'll be fine. Um... anyway... what are
you doing here?"
she asked to distract both of them of the
stupid topic she had started.
"Murder investigation..."
he
answered and they both looked each other over again. Till their eyes
met. Their hearts started hammering in their chests again. The old
love right away was back again, that feeling was back. They were
falling for each other, the second they had laid their eyes on each
other. They both heard footsteps and Andy was the first to look away.
The nurse had returned. She looked at Prue right away
"Your
sister's still in x-ray's so it'll be another fifteen minutes."
She told Prue. Andy smiled. She was okay. Seemed okay. The nurse
then looked at Andy
"Doctor Gordon's office is to the left and
down the hall. He's with a patient right now but you're free to wait
outside his office."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
There again fell silence upon them
"well, it's good seeing
you, Prue"
Andy said, going back to the small talk thing, not
to get too close to her.
"Yeah, you too, Andy. Take care."
Prue answered him while shaking their hands. Then they both
started to go their directions, but as soon as Andy had turned to go,
something screamed in his head
'what an airhead are you?'
he took all his strength and turned back around.
'Okay,
this is completely ridiculous, she's engaged! I can't just be
friends with her!'
he told himself but this other voice
somehow won
"umm..."
Prue's heart jumped.
'Thank
god!'
"You know, Phoebe's busy, Dr Gordon's busy. Can I
buy you a cup of coffee while we wait?"
'You seriously
think I could say no to that?'
Prue asked him in thoughts.
But found herself hiding that answer and answering in a more neutral
"Sure."
Andy's smile brightened
'yay!'
it
yelled inside of him and placed a hand on her back to lead her to the
coffee machine
"So, you're an inspector now?"
Prue asked.
Andy smiled
"What can I say? In any other city I'd be called
detective..."
Andy said
'oh god... you're such a
show-off!'
he told himself
"Inspector's classier."
Prue told him, showing how she was okay with what he was. Andy
grinned again
"Liking it better already..."
Prue hid her
laugh and looked away, rolling her eyes, while he threw some coins
into the machine to get coffee out of it
'he's married!
How can he be so... charming... to other women!'
"Your
dad must be so proud."
'Oh c'mon, Prue... you're not
serious now, right? You're going for the parents' thing! Maybe
you just want... to stop the flirting... wait... you're flirting
with me!'
Andy told her in his thoughts
"Third
generation. You bet he's happy. How about you? You taking the world
by storm?"
he asked as he looked back at her
"Well, I'm
living back at Grams' house, and as of an hour ago, looking for
work."
"Oh..."
'What's with that job at
Buckland's?'
Andy wanted to ask. He couldn't go that
offense right now. He didn't want to show her, he did research on
her.
"I thought you had moved to Portland..."
"I did...I'm
back."
'Okay... what now, Andy? Think... think... wait
again... she's flirting with me... right? So she's attracted to
me... sooo... Rodger!
"Umm... You... umm... still seeing
Roger?"
Prue narrowed her eyes and looked at his mischievous
smile
"How did you know about him?"
Andy sighted. He
wanted to stay defense... how could this slip?
"I know
people..."
Andy said, trying to refer to his mom. Prue looked
at that mischievous smile again... he lied!
"You checked up on
me!"
Andy snapped for air, searching for words.
"IIII
wouldn't call it that."
Andy answered, looking down, grabbing
the coffee
"What would you call it?"
Prue asked, looking
into his eyes, as he gave her the cup of coffee. She now seriously
got noisy.
"Inquiring minds want to know."
He answered
and then gave her another smile
"What can I say? I'm a
detective."
"No, you're an inspector"
Prue pointed
out
"okay... 1:0 for you... but you still didn't answer my
question..."
Andy said cracking into a laugh. She still knew
how to do it. It was unbelievable
"We... umm... I broke up with
him..."
"You did?"
Andy asked, now getting more
interest. Prue now laughed
"if you weren't married... I'd
say... that you like me being single..."
'Oh my god... did
I really say that?'
Prue asked herself
"I'm
not..."
Andy said, throwing again coins into the coffee
machine. Andy then looked somewhat back up
"I Hope it's not
as bad as the coffee at the station!"
Andy said, laughing. Prue
looked down at the mug
"I didn't try it yet..."
she
said with a smile. She didn't know, what to say anymore, she wanted
to know, what he meat he wasn't... barely! What wasn't he? But
she noticed, how he changed topics and so she let it go...
"We
got a divorce half a year ago..."
Andy admitted after a few
minutes of silence and then grabbed the other mug of coffee
"then
I gave a request to my boss, saying I wanted to get away from
Portland. He gave me the job here. Had no choice but go back to San
Francisco."
"Oooh..."
Prue said as they sat down on
some close by chairs
"sooo... how long have you been..."
"Half a year..."
"And you didn't..."
"Couldn't..."
Prue looked down and took a sip of her coffee. So many questions
were going through her head right now. But this wasn't the time nor
the place to ask them
"you're right... that coffee is
really..."
Andy took a sip as well and put the cup back down
"disgusting..."
Andy finished for her, laughing. Prue
laughed as well and nodded. Their eyes met again and their smiles
disappeared. It was like, their lips were magnets... getting pulled
to each other. He slightly leaned over and both moved closer to each
other.
"Miss Halliwell, please meet your sister at the
reception"
it came through the speakers and they automatically
pulled away from each other again
"I guess... I better go..."
"Tell Phoebe hey from me"
"I will..."
Prue
answered and got up
"bye"
"bye"
Andy sighted and
looked down into his mug. Looking at the black fluid inside of it
