Postseason 4. AU. Don't own anything from the Rookie Blue characters or the Fifteen Division. A few characters will act differently such as Jerry Barber being alive. A few events in the past seasons when alternate. I have read several fanfics so my intention is not to steal the plot but if its too similar let me know in pm so I can correct the wrongs. I always start new stories without finishing them and I apologize, I'm just in a Rookie Blue phase.


The fourth year in the police force, Andy couldn't be proud to be twenty-seven years, and she lived without too much loss on her side. She knew other divisions were fairing worse and as much as she like the UC side of the police work, it was good to be back in the 15 and be with her friends as much as she could be with the normalcy of the 15. Back alive with Nick Collins, her best friend and maybe started something with Sam Swarek as she stood at the door of the 15 division debating whether to enter or not. A nudge from Nick was urging her to enter and not waiting around for someone to look at them weirdly. She gave a small smile to Nick before pushing the door.


Nearly seven months since the successful op, many changes happen within the 15 division, Dov Epstein sought the new officer - Rookie Chloe Price and working on being a detective in training though he kept saying that being on the street was also very great. He was in no hurry though he was interested. Chris Diaz and Denise after on and off trying to work it out for Christian, the last straw being Chris not the biological father of Christian, they mutually split but Chris had visit schedule and opportunities to have his son time to time until he grew up more, and then he would be able to make choice. Traci was now a fully Detective and so was Sam Swarek, and she was preparing her wedding with Jerry Barber, but no honeymoon yet. Andy was happy for her best friend; Jerry was a great guy who loves her and Leo. As for Gail and Nick, they had tried to get together for the second and the third months of Nick's return from UC. It didn't work out and after both mature to sit down and have a real talk, they mutually agree then they were best off as co-workers/acquaintances and Gail was now seeking a woman named Holly Stewart.

For Andy, it meant being Nick's break-up buddy and having him around in her apartment or her to his apartment because of the recurring nightmares, both have, more Andy, but whatsoever they were there for each other. They were best friends who got each other back. Protective of each other even after their return to the 15 division. The return for Andy was harder because of the other looks and whispers on her while Nick was more welcome and seemed more obvious of why he would go for a UC than her. Looks lessen but a few remained and it was hard for Andy. Very hard, but she hid it good for her sake and for Nick Collins'sake as much as she appreciated him and knew he would always have her back. She didn't want to make a burden of herself.

The first month after the OP was a long process of debriefing with Luke and Blackstone processed with them what happened with the burst of drugs and a few sharks on Canada's territory that were collected to be trial, they needed to fill the paperwork stating what happened and Blackstone told them how successful their work was. They were mandatory to see the shrink twice a week for the first month for psychiatrist evaluations, thus making sure; they could go back to work and once a week for another month.

Upon their return to the 15, they were mixed with desk duties, riding with T.O. Shaw, Cruz and Williams (until she had to be on desk duty), a couple of senior officer like Officers Tanner and Smith and sometimes with the other former Rookies Peck, Diaz, Epstein before being able to ride as partners just Collins and McNally. Time really flies as Andy McNally grew accustomed to a new routine involving Nick Collins who often stayed or ended up staying at her apartment because of her nightmares and her to his after Peck-Collins's break-up more. He was reliving a few nights where they were beaten to straighten their force of resistance and for her during the rivals of their mark and the 'gun test.'

Sam Swarek or 'Sammy' for Luke, Jerry and Oliver had moved on. It shocked Andy, but she knew that Sam was complicated and was not the most patient guy in the world. She shouldn't be surprised that he said one thing and the next time, he did the opposite. He did tell her 'I love you' while she was holding a bomb, yeah never too late to express your love to someone but how awkward was it as she kept pushing for the past year with him to make it work with her. And then, he dumped her for out of the blue telling him his feelings while she was holding that dam grenade. Of course, Sam was not the most demonstrative of his love or relationship with Andy during work, so it stung her much that he displayed a lot more with Officer Senior Marlo Cruz, guess he was shy or just want to hurt her feelings for leaving him without a word. It shook her to the core but Nick was there and even Oliver as much as he was a pro-Sam-Andy relationship. Dov and Chris, even took care of her when she was having a hard time to keep her emotions.

Their encounters were cordial, professional and most of the time awkward especially when Nick offered her a ride so she didn't walk every night outside or tease her out. She wasn't naive that he may be jealous, but she didn't understand why he was being jealous? Andy knew as of still today that no matter what, Sam would always have her back as a partner. She was sometimes confused by the mixed signals that Sam was sending because sometimes, he wanted to go to Black Penny or offered her a ride or tensed up and frowning when Nick was there. Even worse is that he asked her help with Marlo (how to work a relationship without openly tell Andy that he moved on or the obsession of Marlo about Ford that happen a few weeks ago) or asked her to work in the D's with her. Thought Detectives Luke and Jerry Barber came to steal her from there time to time. She was now the ex of Sam. She didn't know what to feel and things in 15 couldn't get rockier.

Someone was after the 15. Deaths threats, shots were fired to the fifteen division for the past weeks. Most didn't know who except Andy, Sam and Marlo had suspicions for a few days that it may be because of Kevin Ford. Until Luke Callaghan showed up earlier this morning in Marlo's basement with a hit list from Ford's house demanding answers. Sam Swarek immediately defended Marlo Cruz's actions while Andy felt uneasy about having her ex-fiancé, ex-boyfriend, her two best friends Traci and Nick in Marlo's basement as they all were wondering what happen to spin out of control.

Kevin Ford. Currently a wanted man for the 15, but Sergeant Best and the Detectives thought it would be best to keep low knowing if they had a suspect. He had shot to the back of the left shoulder of Officer Price and shot twice in the jacket through the bulletproof vest McNally, three days ago. Detective Callaghan made it a top priority with Detective Barber regrouping other small incidents in the past weeks that may be related to someone targeting the 15. Now the D's wanted answers and found him. T.O. Oliver Shaw was abducted, fifteen hours ago and every officers off-duty and from the 27 division were helping to find him.

Now stuck in the station as they were part of the hit list, Epstein (recall from the hospital), Diaz, McNally, Cruz, Swarek and Collins. (Price and Shaw both 'hit' and named on the hit list), she was waiting for the next announcement, but first, she needed to go to her locker to check on something and changed her uniform who was too big, the new one she found since the other one ended up for evidence material on the attack of earlier. She gave her statement yesterday and now was in the women's locker wondering about everything.

"Hey, you're okay? You look exhausted? Has the nurse checked you up? " Nick, in his uniform, asked coming from behind as she was staring at her locker.

"Yeah, just peachy and a bit shaken by this and worry, I mean someone wants to kill officers of the 15. I was only hoping for the shift to go not too out of control, we didn't have a shift at the same time for the past month. And to celebrate your birthday in your apartment."

"I'm sure we can do it after we found him," Andy told him about her suspicion on Kevin Ford and what Swarek asked her to do. "What were you thinking to do? Me pampering you? You look exhausted! I'm glad I was covering someone's shift, you scared me so much a few days ago with Price."

"I know..I know..I'm fine... I'm okay, and I want to help everyone," she said, turning around to let him checked once again to reassure himself.

She hadn't left the station much as Oliver's abduction happened after the Price shooting, hours later as she was giving her statements to the Detectives. Except for this morning, when she went to get some clothes, the gift bag and freshen-up quickly at her apartment. Someone tried to kill her at her apartment not that she would tell anyone about it. Whoever tried to do this was startled by Nick coming from the front, and he escaped from the balcony. She was able to cover up much but her ribs and stomach hurt.

" We can watch one of those horrors movies "The Orphan" or one of those amazing criminal mastermind "Ocean's remake with Matt Damon, Brad Pit and Georges Clooney," making Nick's face to be amused as he listened to her.

"We will do that. Whatever you want as long as we both safe and sound," he said with a touch of worry. Can't his best friend can catch a break? She was attacked earlier and was on duty, but she was still on Ford hit list. Why did he have a bad feeling that some criminals were always after her?

"And your gift, I bought you a gift, can't let you see it in my locker" as she shut the door of her locker to prevent him from seeing the gift bag.

"Awe, Andy, you didn't need to!" as he put his hand on her shoulder to make her turn once again so he could adequately inspect her before hugging her. God did he loved that wonderful woman. His best friend and maybe more. His attraction to her just kept growing and as much as he loved to have a banter with her. He knew she was pure air of selfless. "As long as it's not cooking!" he teased out, Andy was famous to not being the greatest cook only because she gets easily distracted such as boiling water and just forgetting that she boiled water for her pasta.

Andy lightly punched him on the arm before saying in light amuse voice by him.

"Still Happy Birthday to you can't believe, you turn thirty years old. Today."

"I'm not that old! And let's just say, I'm twenty-seven like you."

"Hey, Collins! Andy! Time for Parade."

The duo nodded back to Detective Traci Nash before Nick put his arm over her shoulder as he glanced a few times to her to check on her physically. She was shot twice and thankfully did she not need to go to the hospital. He hasn't bee able to have a proper look how she was faring, they weren't able to schedule themselves to see each other and with Andy's recurring nightmares that didn't seem to go away and more vivid as the time passed. Nick was worried about his best friend. She also seemed to lose a bit of weight and he was hoping that he could work around their schedule to make sure she more than fine.

As they sat together, Nick was surprised to see Epstein just in front of them, he thought he would be in the hospital next to Price. Sergeant Frank Best surveyed the overcrowd of police officers in the Parade room.

"Thanks to those who were called back from being off-duty to help us with the 27 division. We are working with the 27 to coordinates the street and finding this shooter. Nobody goes on one our own without us standing on sidelines. I know you are all eager to work on finding the man or woman on the streets. But we have a lot of info to deliver to you." As he surveyed the room. "Detectives Callaghan, Peck from Gangs and Guns and Barber, are all three workings on it and are currently in the D's. Detective Peck is working on finding Oliver Shaw, and Detectives Callaghan and Barber on where is the shooter. Due to the recent news of a hit list, either made by the shooter or his accomplices, McNally, Swarek, Cruz, Collins, Epstein and Diaz are to stay at the station, you will help the D's by identifying the list of potential suspects. I changed the patrol partners; you can all check the board. We are working with all the other divisions, as eager as you are, two cars respond for each every calls until further notice. Cruz and Collins, McNally and Swarek," as the new pairs of partners exchanged glances. Andy who itched to be out to find Kevin Ford was surprised to be put with Sam as she felt Nick rubbed his hand on her arm to smooth her 'telling her' not to worry, "Epstein and Diaz, Detective Callaghan wants to see you. As we need all hands on deck, Detective Nash will be an officer to help out, Officer Peck, " Sergeant Best looked at Gail Peck, " division 19 and 27 are already there. They have your pictures and you will have their picture and be briefed by Detective Barber, you stayed at the hospital and make sure everything is alright with Price status and keep an eye in case the shooter send someone to re-offend on Price. Officers Pesky and Smith are both with the 27 to go over what's going on, they are working with the D's as we speak. Be out there to serve, to protect! Let's all come home tonight!"

As everyone scattered to go outside, Collings hugged McNally making her winced once again trying to keep the smile while he hugged her tight.

"Be safe, okay, I need my partner to watch movies!"

"You too! And it's your birthday, so be extra safe," she whispered as she tiptoed to reach his right ear to tell. " Happy Birthday, Nick!" and kissed him on the right cheek.

"Collins? I got the list of the suspects who have a psychiatrist past." Nick nodded back at Officer Cruz not before kissing her forehead and gave one last squeeze at Andy.

She glanced back to Sam Swarek, who was waiting on the side for her. She approached him.

"You got our task from Jerry?"

"Yeah, we are looking at the possibility of Kevin Ford and what the camera surveillance register about him and all the info... You're okay, McNally?" he asked as he saw her rubbing her stomach.

"Yeah, I'm fine, the nurse confirmed that I'm all good to work. Alright, what are we looking at?"

"Well, we are trying to find his M.O. or his last whereabouts and if ever shows up in the 15 division lately. Anything that could explain Ford's hatred to the 15 division."

She nodded as they started working and as they looked at the surveillance cameras, and everything they were able to gather on Kevin Ford when they saw Detective Peck and Sergeant Best gathering a team, a radio was next to everyone so they could all hear the dispatch. There was a possibility that they locate Officer Shaw. McNally saw Kevin Ford lurking around the station's parking not so subtly on the tapes of the stations. She noted her foundings before showing off to a not so concentrate Sam Swarek.

"Let's check it out!" McNally said as she stood up.

"McNally, we are not even sure of what we are looking for, and everyone was in the parking lot, no evidence not contaminate would be possible to find!"

'Isn't that why you are a detective? Come on; I'm sure we are going to find something, at least let's get a look." She looked at him knowing that Sam Swarek wanted to be outside to find the person who hurt Ollie and she knew that if it was Ford and he would be blaming himself.

"Alright." as he grabbed his black leather jacket and headed outside in the parking lot of the 15 division.

He heard Andy swore.

"McNally, what is it?"

"Isn't that Oliver's cruise before he was abducted?"

"Well, yeah."

"How did it get there? Call Best to let him know."

As Sam made the call, Andy surveyed as she walked around the police cruiser and saw Ford's jacket and a few things that belong to Oliver. Sam hanged up the phone and looked at her.

"Sam... Sam... I think he is in the Station!" she peered again to the window of the squad

"What, no Oliver is at that place and we would all see him if he came to the barn," Sam exclaimed frowning by McNally's reasoning.

"Not Oliver! Ford! He must be going for the evidence room, we need to go now,"

"Okay, you go alert Detective Callaghan and Jerry, I'll go," Sam Swarek just wanted to rush in and found him.

"Wait, be careful," as she removed her jacket to unstrap the bulletproof vest. " Here take my vest, if he decided to shoot you, it would be a lot less, critical."

"I don't need a vest!"

"Just take it, I totally get you're a Detective now! But you are not invincible; it's the least you can do as rational thought. I'll be safe; I'm going to see Luke and Jerry, it's the opposite way." Andy had some gut feelings that Ford was after the evidence room or after Cruz and that include Collins. She needed to find him-them now, as she mentally corrected herself.

Sam grabbed the bulletproof vest, put it on himself and ready his gun with a few clicks.

"McNally! Be safe," he wanted to hug her like Collins did but restrained himself as both ran into the station.

She waited a few seconds before to make sure Sam was going to the evidence room, checking her gun before going to where Nick and Officer Cruz were working in an office room of the station. She recognized Ford from afar, for having seen his picture but also for talking to him a few times, he was going for Nick and Marlo, she couldn't let happen. As she sprung without yelling to not startled Ford, she approached the office and slammed the door shut of the office blocking Nick who had stood up and Marlo from getting outside. Andy jammed the door by locking with a special button on the side of the doorknob to lock it preventing them from opening from the inside unless fire alarm or other secret ways. It startled Ford who raised his gun level to her heart than her stomach back and forth. Indecivse where to shoot.

"McNally." his voice boomed attracting police officers

"Ford," she answered back raising her hands. As officers were taken stance such as Diaz and Epstein behind Ford slowly lifting their guns.

Detectives Barber and Callaghan coming closer slowly with their guns raised already. She could hear Nick trying to force the door.

"You don't need to do this. I told you, we were working on it," trying to keep an eye on where the gun. Maybe she should have kept the bulletproof vest.

"Yeah, and you know what the results was. I got search by your friends and get an annoying cop coming again and again on me!" his anger rising.

"I'm sorry about that! But the evidence doesn't come up as easily. I told you about this."

"You are nothing. You can't keep the promise. You think people care about you. YOU'RE WRONG! Everyone hates you! You keep trying to help, but all you get is getting used like me! You are weak, unlike you, I'm not! I follow you twice, and even this morning. No one worries about you except these Detectives!"

"If you want to accuse someone of not making your case having progress, you should shoot me," Detective Barber interrupted, trying to redirect the attention and making Ford turned to face Detective Barber.

"You are right that no one knew about my wounds and how painful the last weeks was. You shouldn't point anywhere else than on me," trying to keep herself as being the only target, it was the only way to avoid collateral damage, she could see Luke approaching nearer Ford to tackle him down, " you told me that if justice wasn't coming for you. I will be the one paying for it. No one else. I'm right?"

"Yes, you are. Memory hasn't failed you yet."

"If you shoot me, you will be charged for an attempt of murder of a police officer."

"What makes you so sure I'm not going to kill you."

" You want to shoot me because I'm nothing go ahead! Shoot me."

"Don't you dare Ford, all your victims were just supposed to scare of the 15's. Just target unless you were really falling each attack. You wanted to be a warning not for them to be killed," Luke voiced out with anger.

"They were supposed to die!"

"But you tried twice to kill me in the past three weeks, and this morning wasn't the third the charm since someone disturbed you, right?!"

The gun moved to tilt.

"I have nothing to lose McNally."

Two shots were fired before Detectives Callaghan, and Barber tackled him down.

"ANDY!" Luke, Chris, Dov and Nick yelled

"MCNALLY!" Jerry yelled and Sam's voice boom as he arrived at the scene when the gun fired twice.

More screams and cries and someone was yelling to call 9-1-1. The door slammed against the window as it was finally kicked by Nick who burst outside. He slid down and started putting pressure on her wound, trying to talk to her, so she didn't lose her conscious.

"Epstein, Diaz; get him in the interrogation room. Officers Tolsky and Reynolds, arrest Marlo Cruz into an interrogation room; Officers Turnip and Tresh, put into an interrogation room Sam Swarek," Detective Jerry Barber ordered."Separately."

"I take the wound," Luke declared as he put pressure with his hands on her stomach. He instructed, "Grab her hand and talk to her." Shock, Collins moved to grab her hand and tried to talk to her, trying to get her to respond to them."

"ETA of the ambulance," Luke yelled trying to keep his emotions as professional as he could. He couldn't afford to lose Anda. They didn't do that much of work to come to this.

"Six minutes."

"Dammit! Collins, check her pulse and talk to her, get her to respond!"

"Lukey, it's fine," as she tried to swat in the air, his hands but ended up dropping her arms on the side.

Her eyes were trying to focus on Nick's face.

"Hey, couldn't let you die on your birthday what kind of gift would that be." she gave a sad smile trying to speak to show she was aware of what's going on."I'm fine, Nick, it's all good, I... face... fuzzy... Sleep.. then.." her speech was getting slurry difficult to follow the conversation. She was blinking her eyes and was closing, "Light..hurt...Sorry... tonight...know you wish... sorry."

"Hey..hey Andy stay with me. Okay, I don't care about your gift. Okay? My gift! I want from you is that you stay awake and you get through this. And you get to pamper me, and I'll pamper you around in my apartment with those oils lotions, massage and food, everything even those Ocean's movies, and if you really want, we can watch Avengers or even Tom Cruise, what do you think? Any Marathon of movies? Just keep your eyes on me. ANDY!" as her body suddenly slumped.

"DIAZ!" Luke screamed, seeing him running toward them." Start compression; I'll press on the wound, Collins, you do mouth-to-mouth! Epstein! Where are the medics?!"

"Two minutes, I'll guide them here!"

Chris and Nick worked on Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Andy. Luke was trying not to cry. Detective Barber approached.

"Callaghan, go with her. You are still her health care proxy, right? Collins needs to give his statements and everything. After that, Diaz, Epstein and he will join you to the hospital. I got everything under control here with Best."

"She's breathing but unconscious," Diaz blurted out still checking on her pulse and timing everything with Luke.

"Excuse me, we need to take a patient with a gunshot wound?" two medics appeared with a stretcher.

"Yes, two, GSW! She stopped breather four minutes again, and she just restarts breathing through CPR. She's unconscious since then. I'm one of her healthcare proxies!" Luke called out not once looking at the medics who came while the police officers were creating a perimeter within the barn and giving space to the medics.

"Alright, please move so we can take her. You come with us. Let's go, we moving her on the count of three; ONE - TWO - THREE," as the two medics lifted her on the stretcher. "We are moving."

Luke glanced at Detective Jerry Barber.

"GO. I got this! I'm calling back Nash and Peck to clear them out and help us out here."

Nick wanted no more than following them, but Detective Jerry Barber stopped him.

"I know you want to join but we need your statement, and your clothes are evidence. I know you are healthcare proxy to McNally, but I know that since the U.C. Andy hasn't changed her emergency contacts which was you and Callaghan, and since they are going to operate her for the next hours. It's better if you are in the station. Detective Peck will take care of your statement."
