Needed to be picked up? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
called for
This clue is a double definition.
'needed' is the first definition.
('call for' can be a synonym of 'need')
'picked up?' is the second definition.
('call for' can be a synonym of 'pick up')
'to be' is the link.
(Other definitions for called for that I've seen before include "summoned" , "Justified" .)
