The call had come in just over an hour ago – again.  Phoebe was starting to suspect that Prue had broken a mirror recently the amount of bad luck she was suffering.  A mugging they said.  Poor Prue – what with trying to organise a wedding, working overtime at the museum and trying to help her sister Piper open a club, this was the last thing she needed.

As Phoebe made her way to the Nurses Station to enquire after Prue, she noticed a familiar figure. Sure she hadn't seen him since he and Prue and split before going to college but she had known him for so long she would recognise him anywhere.

As she approached him, he turned from the desk to face her.  "Hi Andy right?"  Andy looked at her closely as if he knew the face but could not think of a name. "Uh yeah, that's right.  I'm sorry, I recognise your face but…"  "Oh yeah sorry, I guess I have grown up a lot since I last saw you.  Phoebe.  Phoebe Halliwell." 

"Oh my gosh so it is.  Wow you have changed Phoebe.  How are you?"  He said as he reached down to give her a hug.

"I'm fine thanks Andy.  What are you doing here?  Nothing wrong I hope?"

"No nothing, I'm actually a police officer – following up a report of a crime.  What about you?  Everyone ok?"  Andy asked.

"Actually I am here to pick up Prue.  I had a phone call about an hour ago to say she had been brought in.  Apparently she was mugged not far from work and had to be brought in for some treatment.  They said she was ok but would need someone to take her home.  Apparently Roger is unreachable so they rang the manor."

"Oh well how about I come with you to see Prue.  I would love to see her again and I can also take a statement about the mugging." 

"Sure ok, that would be great thanks.  Hopefully with you on the case this guy will actually get caught.  This has happened a few times recently and the police don't seem to have gotten anywhere.  Prue hasn't been very lucky lately."

" No problem.  When I get back to the station I can chase up any open cases if you like.  Do you know any details of these incidents?"

As they made their way towards Prue's room after asking a nurse the way, Phoebe filled Andy in on all the incidents that had befallen her sister in recent months.  As Andy listened carefully a feeling of unease came over him.  He couldn't explain what it meant but he knew that something about what Phoebe was telling him didn't ring true.  With suspicions raised, Andy asked "So where is Roger?  He must be her husband right?"

"Close" she replied.  "They will be in a few months but at the moment they are simply engaged, living together and of course working together.  I guess he is busy with an auction or something since the hospital couldn't contact him" she said.  "What about you Andy?  Married, engaged, kids?"

Andy looked down at his feet as he said, "I was married but that ended a few months ago.  My wife couldn't cope with being second best.  But that's another story for another time.  Come on, let's go on in.  I am looking forward to seeing Prue again after all the years."
