He's Back

Part 6
"But you know what? Maybe if you stick around enough, he'll gather together enough courage to leave a letter and tell you all about it." Prue's voice was scathing, and Andy winced. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the doorbell.
"Ok, I'll get that then." Piper walked out of the room leaving behind a stony silence.
"Prue." The voice that broke the silence was deep, very definitely male and very definitely not Piper. They all stared at the newcomer, and then the doorbell rung again.
"Tell you what. You guys all stare at each other and I'll go get that shall I?" This time it as Phoebe who left alone and returned with a man.
"How's my favourite auctionette turned photographer and her sister's these days?" The voice was cheery and loud.
"Ok, what is this? Return of the exes?" Prue sent Piper a look of thanks when she froze the room, and then unfroze Leo and Cole. Phoebe walked around the room pointing at the three still frozen men. "Andy. Bane. Jack. Why doesn't this picture look quite right to me?"
Cole just looked confused and since no one said anything, he spoke out. "Would someone mind explaining to me who these guys are?"
"Sure. He's Andy, that's Bane and the one wearing the boxers with the suit jacket is Jack." Seeing that Cole still looked confused, Phoebe explained further. "Inspector Andy Trudeau. He was Prue's best friend while we were growing up. They dated all through high school and then broke up just before college. He and Prue met up and started dating again when we first became witches, but she didn't tell him about the whole charmed deal and he kept on getting in trouble for all the unsolved cases, so they broke up again. I don't know exactly what happened because Piper and I were in Hawaii at the time, but when we got back he was gone." She paused to take a breath and then continued. "Bane Jessup. He was hired by Barbas to kill us last Friday the 13th. He hired a hit woman – Ms. Hellfire – to kill us but Prue accidentally killed her instead. Since no one actually knew what the real Ms. Hellfire looked like, Prue had the bright idea of impersonating her. So Prue and Bane met but nothing happened then – at least I think nothing happened then – because Bane got sent to jail. But then Litvack went after him in prison because he knew about the magical world. So Bane broke out of prison and kidnapped Prue. This time I definitely know that something happened because she wasn't that happy about him having to go back to jail. Plus the whole love spell thing told us that they were in love." She paused again. Cole just looked blank. "Lastly we have Jack Sheridan. He worked with Prue at Bucklands and bugged her until they ended up in bed. They dated for about 5 months before she quit Bucklands and they broke up. Did I leave anything out?"
"Quite crudely but correctly put." Piper commented.
"I can add two things to that. Andy does know about the whole charmed deal – he found out just before he left and Jack is an ex-white lighter. He clipped his wings when he met Prue, but he doesn't know that she's a witch. He will know now since he knows I'm married to one of the Charmed one's though. His brother is still a white lighter."
"He…he's a white lighter? Why did he clip his wings?" Prue asked confused. Leo was about to reply when Piper's freeze wore off. The three men looked around surprised and just then a warlock blinked in and grabbed Prue.
"Thanks for your sister," He laughed evilly before blinking out with her.
"Prue!!!" Everyone in the room cried out at the same time, before turning to look at each other.
