Andy tore into the station, late as usual. She ran weaving through the officers to get to the locker rooms, yelling apologies as she nearly knocked a few of them over. She rounded the corner fiddling in her bag for her locker key, she ran head on into someone knocking her bag out of her hand sending the contents flying all over the floor. "Shit! Sorry" she panted diving down to pick up her stuff.
"Everything okay McNally?" Sam bent down to help her. He saw her rush in with a look he'd never seen on her face before. He picked up a letter that fell out, he noticed the courts stamp on the corner. "Andy what's this?" he held the letter out to her.
Andy jumped up after gathering her things, she snatched the letter from him "uh, nothing, I better go get ready, I'm late enough as it is."
She went to hurry by him, he held out his arms to stop her. "Andy that is not nothing, why would the courts be sending you a letter at home? They normally send it here if you're called in to give evidence."
"Sam I said it's nothing, I have to go." She hurried by him leaving him looking after her.
Andy hurried to get ready she made it into the room just as Frank entered. "Ah McNally, nice of you to join us." He teased.
"Sorry sir" Andy replied and just stayed at the back of the room, instead of her normal seat beside Traci and Chris. She listened as Frank went through assignments, she looked over at Sam when he said they would be together today. He was looking at her with concern, he smiled quickly and turned away when he saw her looking back at him.
When Frank finished up she quickly left the room before Sam could make it over to her, she made them both coffee and hurried out to the car. She waited while he talked to Oliver, just tell him, he'll understand, he'll help, come on it's Sam for crying out loud. When has he ever let you down? A voice in her head argued.
"Ready to go McNally?" Sam asked as he approached the car.
"Yeah" she replied and handed him his coffee before sliding into the passenger seat.
Sam just watched her what is going on? he asked himself she looks scared to death about something. He climbed in beside her and looked at her.
"What?" she replied nervously.
"Andy you know I'm always here and you can talk to me about anything?"
"I know, let's go" she said quickly.
"So what are you so worried about ? Talk to me."
"It's nothing Sam, can we please just go do our jobs?"
Sam sighed "okay, but just as long as you know i'm here." he replied and started up the car.
"I know" Andy said looking out the window as they pulled out of the lot.
They had been driving around for about two hours now, nothing had happened yet, they pulled some kids spray painting a wall, they gave a guy a speeding ticket, nothing exciting. Andy's phone rang in her pocket, she quickly silenced it and shoved it back in her pocket. "Okay, that is like the tenth time your phone has rang, who is it ?" Sam asked, he continued when she didn't answer. "is Callaghan still bothering you? I'll have a word with him if you want."
"It's not Luke" Andy replied. "He's got the hint, it's been two months now he knows we're never getting back together, and I'm pretty sure him and Gail are dating now."
They were called to a disturbance before Sam could reply. An hour later they stopped for lunch, they ate in silence, Sam watching her. She sat looking at her food thinking, she was pulling faces from time to time, Sam watched as her face turned to fear and pure panic. He moved his hand over hers "Andy" he said softly as she jumped. "I don't know what is going on, but I know it's something big. Why do you look so scared? Has someone said something to you ? Threatened you?"
"No Sam, nobody has said or done anything to me, stop worrying I'm fine." Andy replied looking at their hands. God how she wished she had the nerve to ask him out, or he'd ask her out.
"Andy, I can't help but worry when you look so frightened, I will find out eventually." He squeezed her hand.
He was surprised when she laced her fingers through his. "Sam- I'll be fine i promise" she said quietly.
Sam pulled her closer over the table. "are you sure there's nothing wrong Andy?"
"no' no i'm fine just a little tired" Andy lied.
"when was the last time you slept?" he said getting worried. what the hell is going on with her? He said to himself.
Andy pulled her hand away from his. "Sam" she whimpered. "I said i'm fine can't you just leave it alone." She jumped up from the table and hurried outside, leaving him once again looking after her.
Sam sat there for a few more minutes what the hell was that about? he thought angrily that's it I am taking her out tonight and she will tell me what's going on He said as he left money on the table for their food and followed her out to the car. She had been crying he could see her wiping her eyes when she saw him coming. He climbed into the driver side "Andy I-"
"Sam don't, please don't ask me any more questions." she said quickly.
"Okay, I was going to ask you to come out with me tonight."
Andy turned to face him "as in a date?" She asked hopeful.
He didn't miss the hope in her voice "yeah, if you want it to be" he replied. There he had done it, wasn't so hard was it?
Her smile dropped almost instantly "I can't not tonight, I have stuff to do."
"Okay another night" Sam replied, he knew she was lying whatever was going on he will find out.
"Another night" Andy repeated.
They had just finished shift and pulled up to the station Sam pulled the door open for her "so can I give you a ride home?" He asked as she passed by him.
"Yeah sure that'll be gr-"
"ANDY!" someone yelled and ran to her. "I have been trying to get in touch with you all day" a panicked woman hurried out. "You got the letter too, I know you did, what are we going to do? There is no way out of this Andy, I can't do it" she cried.
Andy looked worriedly at Sam, he was looking at her with a cross between worry and anger, he then fixed his eyes on Andy again as if to say you better tell me now. "Sophie shut up" she began to push her towards an empty office.
"What will we do Andy? he'll kill us, he said so. I know he sent you the letters Amy told me' she got one too." Sophie yelled loud enough for Sam to hear.
"Sophie!" Andy yelled "will you stop" she pushed her into the room and shut the door taking one last look at Sam, who still hadn't moved from his spot at the door. He looked ready to snap. She sighed and turned to Sophie. "why the hell did you come here, to my job?" she groaned.
"Because you wouldn't answer your phone, Andy I'm really scared." Sophie whimpered.
Andy moved closer to her and took her in a hug "I'm sorry Soph I was busy all day. We'll be okay, He can't hurt us. Look I'm still on duty can I meet you over at Amy's tonight and we'll talk about it then?"
"Sure Andy, I'm sorry for just barging in. I'll call Amy now and head over, what time will I see you at?"
"I'll be over at about nine." Andy replied.
Sophie nodded "I'll see you then." She opened the office door and walked towards the exit.
Sam was waiting for her if Andy won't tell me she will he said to himself as he caught up with her just outside the doors. "Hey, excuse me" he called. Sophie stopped and turned around. "You a friend of Andy's ?"
"Depends who's asking" Sophie replied.
"I'm Sam her p-"
"Oh the new boyfriend, I've heard so much about you. I'm Sophie, yeah me and Andy go back to grade school." she said shaking his hand. "What can I do for you Sam?"
Sam didn't bother to correct her, but he did like knowing Andy talked about him a lot. "I was just wondering what this letter you and Andy got is about. She seems worked up and scared about something." he noticed Sophie's face turn the way Andy's did at the mention of the letter.
"I-uh-I can't tell you, that is up to her, but please just look out for her. I gotta go." Sophie hurried off and jumped into her car before Sam could say another word.
Sam stood thinking what the hell is going on? why would I need to look out for her? He sighed in frustration and headed into the office she was in. He opened the door to demand she tell him and was met with Andy slumped over a desk crying her eyes out. He closed the door and walked over to her and pulled her into him. "Andy I don't know what is going on or what has you so upset, but I think you need to talk to me."
Andy clung onto the front of his shirt "I can't Sam" She sobbed.
"Andy please, tell me what is going on i'm starting to freak out now" Sam was getting very worried now.
"I'm fine, just a moment of weakness, i better go" She pulled away from Sam, stood up and began to pace.
Sam jumped to his feet "you are not going anywhere Andy, will you please just stop and tell me what is going on? I can protect you if I know what is going on."
"You can't help me Sam no one can." she said quietly. "I better get going" she moved to the door.
Sam pulled her back "Andy if anyone has tried to hurt you or threatened you, You need to tell me. I care about you, I don't like what I'm seeing today, you are scared out of your mind."
"Sam, please will you just leave it. I already said no one can help me!" Andy yelled getting annoyed.
Sam glared at her, he too was getting annoyed. "What the fuck does that even mean Andy? you tell me and Traci everything, does she know about this letter? I'm not good enough for you to trust with it is that it ?" He yelled moving closer to her.
"I trust you with my life Sam! You damn well know that!" Andy yelled moving closer to him. By now they were inches apart, she had no idea what happened but she threw herself at him and kissed him hard.
Sam responded immediately. He shoved her against the door and deepened the kiss. He ran his hands along her sides and rested them at her hips. Andy moved closer into him and tilted her head looking for more access. He lifted her off the ground, walked her to the table and sat her on it. The need for air became great he pulled back "wow" was all he muttered, still holding onto her waist.
Andy panted looking back at him "yeah" she mumbled. She slid out of his grasp and stood up "Sam, I really gotta go" she hurried to the door and pulled it open and hurried off to get changed.
Sam let her go what the hell just happened ? He shook his head and followed to his own locker room. Before he came out he saw Oliver walk in "hey Ollie, good day?" He asked.
"Man that kid gets stupider by the day" he groaned.
"What did Epstein do now ?" Sam chuckled.
"He ended up stuck in a dumpster, a perp outweighing him by a lot body slammed him and chucked him in. He was on his damn phone when it happened, his guard was down. I'm sick telling him to always be conscious of what is happening around him. Before I forget, McNally told me to tell you thanks for the offer but she had to hurry off so she won't be needing that ride, and she'll see you In the morning."
"When did she leave?" Sam asked slamming his locker shut.
"When I walked in she was walking out of the locker room." Oliver replied.
"Thanks buddy I'll see you in the morning" he called as he hurried out I need to catch her she can't just kiss me and run away. He jumped in his truck and took off. He couldn't see her anywhere so he doubled back again, still no sign of her he gave up and went home.
Andy walked to Amy's house from work, she told Sophie she'd be there at nine. It was only eight, she just didn't want her hanging around to wait for her, she needed a bit of time to herself to think. She rang the buzzer and Amy let her up. When she entered the apartment they were both seated on the sofa. "Hey guys" Andy said, flopping down onto the sofa beside them.
"So how are we gonna do this ?" Amy asked after an hour of chatting, she got them all more coffee.
"For starters Amy, don't leave your door unlocked." Andy said
"I knew it was you"
"Not the point, I could have been jumped on the stairs or something, keep it locked."
"So where do we start? What do we do?" Sophie asked.
"We do nothing" Andy said seriously. "That letter was to scare us, he is trying to get us to back down, not going to happen."
"But Andy, he said he'd kill us and the people we love, he's a dangerous guy. I can't keep going on like this, I have called my mom ten times a day since I got it, she's beginning to think something is wrong." Sophie hurriedly blurted out.
Andy could tell Sophie was freaking out, Amy however was a lot calmer. Andy herself was freaking out too, but with her training behind her she remained calm. "Look, he is locked up guys, we're safe, trust me. If it will make you feel better I can get a unit from another division placed outside both your houses."
"Why not your division?" Amy asked. "I mean we know Traci, Chris, Dov, and Gail."
"Because none of them know what is going on, not even Traci or Sam and I'd like to keep it that way." Andy replied quickly. She now regretted taking the girls to the weekly rookie night they had each week.
"Why haven't you told anyone Andy?" Amy asked. "It's a lot to carry around on your own, I've told Kyle and Sophie has told her dad."
"I have you guys, that's all I need, you see anyone from my division please do not tell them. If it got back to Sam or the others they'd flip."
"At least tell your dad Andy." Sophie said. "He knew what happened, he came for us that night remember?"
"I remember guys look, my dad has a lot going on, he doesn't need to worry about me. I'm fine, I can handle this on my own."
Amy and Sophie just looked at one another. "Andy you may be a cop now but back then we were only kids, yes we had and still have each other, but things are different now. We didn't understand fully back then, not like we do now." Amy moved closer to her. "it's okay to be scared Andy. I am, Sophie is."
"I am not scared" Andy said after about a half hour of silence. "I see stuff like this everyday and I am not gonna let some scumbag back me into a corner." Andy jumped up "I gotta go, look stay together, always tell someone where you're going and don't answer the door to anyone." Andy hugged both of them "I'll call you when I get home."
"You shouldn't go out on your own Andy, you just told us not too." Sophie grabbed her back as she headed for the door.
"Soph I'll be fine, I'm trained for stuff like this, I'll call you when I get home." Andy opened the door and hurried out before they could argue anymore.
As Andy turned onto the next street she noticed a car had been following her from Amy's. She quickened her pace and ducked into a coffee shop, taking a seat beside the window she ordered a coffee, noting the car had pulled in too. What the hell do I do now? She said to herself, she looked at the diner across the street she was only around the corner from Sam's. She got her coffee in a take out mug and left the shop. She walked faster until she was on the end of Sam's street, "please be home please be home" she chanted a she got closer, she looked back, the car was still following her. Relief washed over her as she spotted Sam taking out his garbage. "Hey" she called when she was close enough.
Sam was surprised and angry to see her "Andy? What the hell are you doing wandering about on your own at this time?" He barked.
"Well nice to see you too, guess I'll just keep going then."
Andy took a step forward " Andy wait" Sam pulled her back. " I'm sorry, come inside it's cold" he said ushering her up the front steps.
Andy took a glance over her shoulder, the car had pulled in a few houses down. Should I say something to him ? Nah better not he'll freak.
"So why are you out at this time?" Sam asked leading her into the kitchen.
Andy slid up onto the counter "I was around in my friend Amy's, she lives on Maple. I thought I'd drop in see if you were home."
Sam moved closer to her "you're lying, now why are you really here?"
Andy sighed "do I have to have a reason to drop in?"
"No, but at this time of night and after the way you hurried off earlier you do." Sam replied stepping into her personal space so his hips were touching her thighs.
Andy looked into his eyes, she couldn't lie to him again, but she had to. "Fine, she wrapped her legs around him hlding him in place. "I wanted to see you."
Sam stuided her face "you're still lying" he muttered before sliding his hands around her waist.
Andy tilted her head to the side "okay you win, it's stupid though, you're gonna laugh. I can't stop thinking about that kiss and wanted another one" she said shyly trying o throw him off track.
Smm chuckled, he seemed to be buying it. "All you had to do was ask McNally" he smiled " Not stupid either" he whispered, before claiming her lips.
The kiss was soft and sweet at first Andy slid her hand behind his neck and pulled him closer before deepening began to tug on his shirt, Sam broke the kiss "are you sure you want this Andy? we haven't even went out yet."
Andy giggled "it's not like we just met Sam, beside this can count as a date, a very good date" she added and pulled him in for another kiss.
Once convinced she wanted it Sam kissed her harder and began roaming his hands all over her body earning a moan from her. He picked her up and wrapped her legs around him, he carried her to the sofa and lay her down. He began trailing kisses along her neck "You have no idea how hot you are" he mumbled against her neck.
Andy giggled again and shoved him back so he was sitting up, she climbed on his lap "So Officer? what would you like to do to me?" she grined saucily as she rocked against him.
Sam let out a hiss and pulled her flush against him "oh you have no idea" he said biting on her lip "i've dreamed about having you in my bed for so long." he slid his hands down her side and gently pulled her shirt up over her head. Taking a look at her he groaned "McNally" he growled and latched onto her breast.
Andy moaned softly as he bit and sucked on her nipple. "Sam" she muttered and let out another moan as he slipped his hand inside her pants. She let out a gasp and threw her head back as he ran his fingers over her folds. "This won't do" she panted and jumped up.
Sam watched her curiously as she unbuttoned her jeans and slid them off. his eyes wandered over her body as she stood before him in her sexy underwear, he felt himself grow hard beneath his jeans, he jumped from the sofa and was on her in seconds. He walked her back until she hit the wall, he hoisted her up and pushed himself against her earning another moan. "Andy, i need to feel you right now!" he growled and carried her up the stairs.
Andy began nipping at his neck on the way to his bedroom, he pulled her head to his and began kissing her passionatly she moaned into his moth as he lay her on the bed. He began trailing kisses up over her stomach and breasts before she flipped them. "Now it's my turn" she smirked and slipped her hand into his jeans. She gripped his manhod and began to stroke it, she smiled when her moaned her name and thrust his hips towards her "you like that?" she whipsered.
"Oh yes" he moaned and pulled her down for a kiss, he kissed her hard and slipped his hand between her legs, she moaned into his mouth as his fingers slipped inside her.
Before she knew it he had flipped them over and hovered over her, he kissed her sweetly as he slide inside "you have no idea how much i want you" he mumbled as he started off slow.
"Show me" Andy replied before pulling him down to her. She lot out a loud moan as he began to move faster. "Sam" she gasped as he pulled her breast into his mouth. He began to go faster and faster "oh god Sam! i-i'm almost there!" she cried out.
"Let go baby, let it go, i'm right behind you. oh Andy, you don't know what you do to me" he said and nipped along her neck. "Andy!" he groaned as he spilled inside her.
"oh Sam, oh yeah, right there" she panted and screamed his name as an orgasm ripped through her.
"wow" Sam panted and flopped beside her. After a minute he rolled on his back and pulled her with him. "Andy that was incredible"
"who you telling" she giggled and snuggled into him.
"Well tomorrow i am taking you out." he said kissing her forehead.
"Okay" Andy leaned up and kissed him quickly. "Do you mind if i have a shower before i go home?"
"Why don't you stay? We can get up early and i'll drive you over to your place."
"Okay forget the sower then" Sam laughed as Andy climbed back on top of him. She had just kissed him when her phone rang from downstairs. "Shit" she grabbed the sheet and ran down to the living room "Hello" she panted "Oh hi Mrs Walker, WHAT! okay, thank you, i'm on my way." Andy hung up the phone and ran up to Sam. "I gotta go, my house is on fire!" she yelled grabbing her clothes off the floor.
"what?" Sam jumped out of the bed and grabbed his clothes.
"Yeah that was my neighbour, she seems to think it's just the kitchen, the fire department are there now. Sam, I have'nt been there all day, i couldn't have left anything on, it would have started hours ago if i did." Andy said pulling her clothes on.
Sam grabbed her hands "Andy sweetie, calm down. We'll go now and find out what happened, okay?". Andy nodded and rushed off down the stairs.
