While sitting on holiday, I was laying by the pool and came up with this one. Going to try and do a multi chapter story again. The time frames is sometime after 4.01
This story is Rated T
I do not own Rookie Blue, but if I did…..
Nick and Andy sat on the highway watching the traffic go by. They were suppose to be running radar but since they were sitting out in the open, everyone was slowing down. That was the goal to slow everyone down thought, Nick and less paperwork for them.
Andy and Nick had quite the discussion before ten o'clock that morning. It was the only way to pass the time as they sat in the car. They had discussed Andy telling Sam her talent was giving up and walking away. Nick told her Sam was stupid and it was his loss. They discussed Nick and Gail's epic breakup, Chris leaving and even discussed Chloe. It had been quite the airing of what had been going on the past few weeks and after much discussion, it seemed they were going to survive.
"Want to go get some coffee? I think we have tortured this road enough with us sitting here." Nick smiled at her.
"Sure, lets get some coffee, oh, and I want to get one of those yummy scones." Andy batted her eyes playfully at Nick and giggled. "Convincing enough so you will let me have sweets in the car?"
Nick chuckled, "Yeah, Yeah, we can get a scone, even though we vowed that we would be healthier, happier and eat less crap while going through our breakups."
Andy rolled her eyes, "Its just a scone."
Nick pulled away from the curb. "A scone today, a tub of ice cream tomorrow, picking up a fireman the next day and then hot, sweaty, meaningless sex by the end of the week."
Andy giggled and then purred, "Oh, Mister Fireman, show me your hose. Its so long and big." Andy burst into more giggles as Nick mouth dropped open. "Don't worry Officer Collins, I promise to be good and call you with all the details, you pervert!"
Nick just smiled, "That is Officer Pervert to you."
They both broke into fits of laughing as Nick drove to the coffee house.
Nick pulled into the coffee shop parking lot just as Andy saw someone laying on the ground between the cars just two cars over.
"Nick I am going to check something out before we go in. I saw something weird two cars over on the ground."
"I saw it. But remember, I am not human without at least six cups of coffee so no promises on being nice."
Andy waved at him and said, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
Andy walked to the back of the car as Nick walked to the front. They both rounded the car to find a scruffy looking guy laying on his back on the ground.
"Sir, are you ok?" Andy called to him as she approached him.
Just as Nick leaned over to check for a pulse, the guy moaned and sat up, startling both Nick and Andy.
The guy began to moan again.
Andy tried again, "Sir, are you ok? Do you need assistance?"
Andy and Nick observed the guy was pale, eyes were glazed over, drool running down his chin and he seemed out of it. Just as Andy stepped forward the guy jumped up moaning and ran off.
Nick went to grab his radio to call it in, when he looked Andy dead in the eye, "What's the police code for runaway Zombie?"
Andy stifled a giggle; "I don't think there is a police code for that. Come on lets get him before he hurts someone or himself."
When they finally chased down and caught the guy, he was now a fully functioning human being who happened to be carrying a good amount of drugs on him. Nick cuffed him and put the guy in the back of the car. By the time they got back to Sally port, they guy had turned into full zombie mode again. Just moaning in the back seat causing Andy to softly giggle as she called ahead stating they had a guy acting like a zombie because of drugs and needed medical assistance when they arrived.
Andy and Nick dragged they guy out of the car and into booking with a full audience and cuffed him to a bench. Dov started to fill out the paperwork, "So besides being a zombie, what are the charges?"
Nick handed over the drugs, "I think this holds more water than being a zombie."
Everyone was taking pictures and laughing as Dov and Oliver put the guy into a cell. Oliver patted Andy on the back, "Glad my name is not going on that paperwork."
"Gee thanks Ollie, love you too," smiled Andy.
Andy looked at Nick. Andy held out her fist, "Ready?" All of booking watched in amusement.
Nick held out his fist, "Yep, One, two, three," said Nick as he shook his fist.
Nick went with paper.
Andy went with scissors.
Andy raised both fist in the air, "your flying and buying, while I do paperwork buddy."
Nick shook his head, "Fine, what do you want? Usual?"
"Yeah."
"Got it, text me where your hiding and I will be back."
Nick and Andy walked out of booking and split up to get their assigned jobs done.
Oliver shook his head at Dov, "Those two are something else."
When Nick and Andy came out of interrogation room one with paperwork done and lunch cleaned up, they bumped into Traci just outside the door.
"Hey, I was looking for you guys. Either one of you going to the wedding?" Traci asked.
Nick nodded, "Yep, wouldn't miss it."
Andy answered, "Yes."
"Think we could carpool?" Traci asked.
"Sure, I can drive. But Andy here may bail on us when she hooks up with that hot fireman at the end of the week," chuckled Nick.
Traci looked confused and saw Sam standing right behind Andy and Nick. His eyebrows were raised. Andy smacked Nick on the arm, "He is kidding Traci, we can all ride together. I am not hooking up with a hot fireman at the end of the week. That's next week."
Nick leaned in to Traci and did a loud whisper, "I take that back, she is gong to hook up with someone at the wedding." Nick elbowed Andy and grinned.
Traci saw Sam's face grow grim and cleared her throat. "Ok, thanks guys. Did you need something Sam?"
Nick and Andy turned to see him standing right behind them. "Detective, we were just leaving." Nick grabbed Andy and pulled her down the hallway.
Traci looked at Sam as he glared at them going down the hallway. "They were just having lunch in the observation room, that is all."
"Is that what the kids are calling it these days. No matter.", huffed Sam, "I need to talk to you about a case." Sam continued to watch Andy and Nick until they were out of site as he walked with Traci back to the detective's office.
The wedding was beautiful. Nicole looked stunning in her dress. The flowers were magnificent and reception was dazzling. Sam brought Marlo, Oliver brought Zoe, Luke brought Jo and they were sitting all at one table. Sam noticed that Traci, Dov, Chloe, Andy and Nick were at another table. It was Luke who pointed out that Gail was missing and was last scene at the bar with Molly. Jo had smirked at that comment and expressed she was surprised Gail swung that way causing the rest of the table to try and change the subject quickly.
Sam continued to watch the rookie table when he could. All the girls looked out of this world gorgeous. Andy had found a blue dress that was strapless. He saw that it laced up her back like a corset making the top part snug. The back was low enough that Sam noticed part of her tattoo peaking slightly out the side. The bottom part of the dress was loose and flowy, but was above her knee in length in the front and down to her ankles in the back. Almost like a half up, half down kind of dress. He noticed she was wearing a new necklace and had tear drop earrings. He hair was down and had soft curls. The whole table seemed to be having fun. Sam saw Nick sitting next to Andy, his arm draped over the chair with his thumb lightly rubbing on her back. Sam wanted to walk over and smack Nick's hand off. Oliver must have noticed his stare because he felt a kick to his shin. Sam turned and looked at Oliver with a what the heck face. Oliver frowned at him.
Toasts were made and then dancing began. Sam watched as the rookies got on the dance floor and danced. Soon the call for all the single ladies to come to the front was made. Marlo kissed Sam on the cheek and wished Jo luck. All three guys groaned at the table when they left. Sam turned to see the rookies were not joining in on the fun. He smiled at that, until Noelle called them out and told them to join. Andy hung back talking to Traci in the back when the bouquet was tossed.
Everyone watched in amazement as it bounced several times over the crowd and landed in Traci's hands, who then promptly bounced it out of her hands into Andy's. Andy blushed as everyone cheered. Noelle called her up to stand next head table as Frank called all the single guys up. He was not about to let anyone sit this one out and he called out anyone who was not participating. All the guys milled around and Frank got into position to toss it over his shoulder. He let it go and everyone watched as Luke almost caught it until Nick snatched it out of thin air from him. Everyone cheered as Luke and Sam glared at Nick. Frank called Nick up to the front and announced that the two who caught the prizes would now dance together along side the bride a groom.
Frank took Noelle's hand as Nick took Andy's. The song Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum started to play. Sam watched as Nick held Andy close to him and whispered in her ear. Her smile was huge as Nick continued to whisper to her as they danced. Sam excused himself from the table under the guise of getting a drink. Really, he couldn't watch it. How dare Nick dance with Andy that way. He just wanted to walk over and punch Nick and take Andy for himself. Sam shook his head and thought, what are you doing, your with Marlo.
Frank nudged Noelle to look at Nick and Andy. He whispered, "Do you think they could make a go at it after all that has happened?"
"I hope they find their person, no one should be without their person." Noelle whispered back.
Frank lightly chuckled, "I take it you are a Andy and Sam fan."
"I can't help it. They are so perfect for each other."
Sam got to the bar and ordered a drink as Oliver walked up. "What are you doing?"
"Ordering a drink?"
"No, Sam, what are you doing staring at McNally. Your making Marlo uncomfortable."
"What?"
"Your staring at your ex, you said you moved on, what are you doing?"
"Stop Oliver. I am fine."
"Really, because if your glare is trying to set Collins on fire, you doing a pretty good job. Let her be, you made it very clear to her you moved on, your with Marlo. You rubbed it in her face since she has been back. You treat her like a horrible cop, that anything she says can't be trusted. So let her be happy without you. Leave her alone."
"Is that your advice Oliver? Because maybe I should whip out a notebook since your doing so hot in your relationship."
"You're an ass, you know that. I hope Nick shows Andy how stupid she was to even have dated you." Oliver huffed and walked back to the table.
Sam sighed; he didn't mean to say something so horrible to his friend. He knew Zoe was only here for appearance purposes. He knew Oliver would be filing for divorce because Zoe was in love with someone else. Not only had he insulted his best friend but he had kicked him when he was down.
He would have to apologize later for acting like an ass to Oliver. Just as he was handed his drink, Luke stepped up and ordered. Sam glanced at him and waited because he knew Luke had to put his two cents in when it came to Andy too.
Luke finished ordering drinks and turned to Sam, "I just wanted to let you know, I am going to ask Andy to do another UC and it might not be with Nick again. I haven't decided if I will ask him or not. "
Sam stared at Luke, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because it is the Mendez one."
"Are you fucking kidding me? "
"If anyone can pull it off, she can."
"If she lives. She won't take it, she isn't that stupid."
Luke glanced over to Andy and Nick dancing, "Well, I don't know, depends how things go with Nick and if he comes with her."
Luke grabbed his drinks and walked away.
Sam just stood there for a minute, his mind spinning and then walked back to the table.
As the evening wore on, guest started to leave, some were staying at the hotel, while others where headed home for shift tomorrow.
Sam had booked a hotel room for two nights. Marlo and Sam had two days off and Marlo wanted to take advantage of their time off together and Sam thought he would give it a try. He knew Traci, Dov and Chloe were working tomorrow and saw the three of them leaving together. Sam waved at Traci and she motioned to Dov to wait a second for her.
"Hey, you have a ride home." Sam inquired knowing from the other day she had plans to ride with Nick and Andy, who he didn't see anywhere.
"I rode in with Dov and Chloe. Nick and Andy ran late because of their shift. They found a body behind the club on First Street. Steve and I have it under control. No need to come in on your time off."
"Oh, ok. Have a good night Traci, see you Tuesday."
"You too, try to relax some. "
Sam and Marlo headed to the lobby where the elevators were located. He had booked a room that over looked the courtyard with opening bay windows. Marlo was excited when he told her what he had booked and looked forward to a nice relaxing evening.
Marlo walked into the room and walked to the window. The courtyard was pretty, full of flowers and trees that made the room smell fresh and amazing. She noticed the rooms across the way had balconies with lounge chairs.
"Sam, the view is amazing. I am going to hit the showers, can you order room service?"
"Sure." Sam walked over to the table by the window and picked up the phone to order room service, once he was done ordering he looked out the window across the way. He had tried to book one of the rooms with the balcony. But was told they were all booked up. He had seen on the website that they had a romantic package that included a one hour massage in the room for the lady, along with champagne and strawberries upon check in. Dinner could be ordered and served on the balcony and the room had a huge spa tub in the bathroom and fluffy white rubs were provided. He had even called the night before trying to see if anyone had canceled. No such luck so he kept the original room. He wanted to make sure Marlo knew he was over Andy and hoped this holiday would help that with both of them.
At five in the morning, Sam couldn't sleep anymore. He pulled on some shorts and running shoes, heading to the hotel gym to help him work off some nervous energy. He had tossed and turned all night, trying to get over what Luke and Oliver had said. Sam wandered into gym hoping a good run would clear his head. As Sam pushed into the gym, he found Andy running on the treadmill.
