Chapter One: Time for Change

Andy McNally stood in the woman's locker room and looked at herself in the mirror.

I look the same. She thought suddenly. I look the same as I did on my first day. A panic swept over Andy as she thought Have I changed at all?

Andy quickly thought back to what she had done in the past four years, and suddenly realized how insignificant all she had done seemed. Tracy's dream of being a detective came true. Chris was a dad. Gail became a lesbian. Dov is in a relationship with a normal, well semi-normal, girl.

Sure she had gone undercover but that really was it. She hadn't become a parent, a spouse, a detective, and at the moment she was single. It had never really bothered her until now, and now it wouldn't leave her mind.

"Andy!" Gail yelled bringing her back from her thoughts,

"Yeah?" she asked confused.

"Parade starts in two minutes!" Gail screamed.

"Shit" Andy swore as she and Gail started running to Parade. They had almost made it when all of the sudden someone rounded the corner….. into Andy.

"Sorry!" she exclaimed as Gail steadied her. The man looked at them and smiled,

"It's no biggie," he said in a laughing tone. That is when she got her first good look at the man,

He was very tall, at least 6' 3". But that was the least remarkable thing about him. He had wavy jet black hair that was longish but he pulled it off. His eyes were the bluest eyes she had ever seen on a male and they were framed with dark, long lashes. He had an athletic build and was very tanned. The thing she noticed most though was his easy smile that spread across his face and went into his eyes. She had a strange feeling that she could share anything and everything with this guy.

Andy had never met anyone like him before but yet he looked oddly familiar. Before she could figure out where she knew him from he reached out his hand and said cheerfully

"I'm Jason Walker,"

Out of habit Andy shook his hand and responded,"I'm An-"

Before she could finish speaking Gail grabbed her hand and muttered,"And we're late," as she practically dragged Andy towards Parade.

As they ran Gail looked at Andy and said, "Well if I wasn't gay and in a relationship I would've totally have tapped that," Andy looked at Gail in disbelief and exclaimed, "Gail!" as they both started laughing Gail pulled open the door and the laughs died in their throat's"

They were met with stares from the whole entire division. Frank looked at them and said "Officer Peck, Officer McNally, thank you for joining us. Please sit down,"

Andy and Gail looked around. The only seats available were in the very front row. They both sat down as Frank started his daily routine of talking about current cases and so on. Andy let herself drift off into thought as he talked. She was not going to be out today because she was late. Most likely she and Gail would be on desk duty.

Suddenly Andy felt two pairs of eyes looking at her back, she didn't have to turn around to figure out who it was, but she turned around anyways and saw them looking at her. Marlo glared as she held Sam's hand. She looked annoyed at Andy for being late. As if her lateness had ruined Marlo's morning. Sam was looking at her as well his eyes though, were guarded and Andy couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Once she looked their way Marlo looked away but Sam kept gazing at her. When they made eye contact he held her gaze for a minute and a flash of pain went through Andy's heart as she remembered what had happened,

Andy stood at the door to his room and looked at him. He layed there in the hospital bed and looked so different. There were tubes in his nose to help him breath and wire hooked up to machines used for who knows what. His usually tan skin was ghostly pale and for a second Andy thought he was sleeping but then he opened his eyes and at that instant Andy saw the Sam she knew.

She smiled at him and said, "Hi,'

He nodded back and whispered in a raspy voice, "Hey,"

They looked at each other for a while and finally Andy built up the courage to start talking

"Sam I-" before she could finish talking Sam interrupted her

"Don't McNally. What ever this is needs to stop. I'm with Marlo. We are happy. Our relationship is uncomplicated and easy. The one we have is messy and complicated. Just stop before you make a fool out of yourself. We are done. Just move on McNally. I don't need you and you sure as hell don't need me. So just go. Don't call, don't write, just don't talk to me unless its nescessary. Got it?"

Andy was loss for words. The shooting had put everything in perspective for her. All of a sudden everything was laid out in front of her. She was finally going to take control of the situation and now she let someone else do it again. She just stood there for a while staring at the floor. Sam didn't say anything. It went on like that for about five minutes until Oliver knocked on the door.

"Not interrupting anything am I?"

Sam opened his mouth to respond but Andy beat him to it "No our conversation is over,"

She looked at Sam, "It's over,"

With that she turned her back on him, their possible future, plus their relationship, and walked out the door.

A nudge from Chris, who was sitting behind Andy and Gail, brought her back to the world of the living."What are you looking at?" he asked.

Andy quickly gave him a smile and whispered, "Nothing,"

She turned back around and smiled to herself. She was glad Chris came back from Timmons. He had left for about a month when he showed up at Dov's door and asked if he could stay there. He had found out Christian wasn't his son. It turned out Christian's real dad was some random guy that Denise had cheated on him with while they were dating. When the man found out about Christian he had wanted to be in his son's life and Denise had decided Chris wasn't needed. She kicked him out of the house and Chris being the nice guy he is let her.

Now he was up for a T.O position and was starting to date again. But Andy knew that he still missed Christian and to Chris he'd always be his son.

Suddenly Gail leaned over and whispered, "He's announcing the officer for the exchange thing," she stated.

Andy looked at her like she was high "Gail what are you talking about?" She asked under her breath.

Gail looked at her like she was an idiot, " You know the big exchange trip? The one everyone's been talking about for weeks,"

Andy gave her a confused look and Gail rolled her eyes, "You know 15 is gonna send one person to 27 for three months and they're gonna send a person here for three months, ring any bells McNally?"

Andy nodded slowly she vaguely remembered the Sgt. Best mention the echange thing. The details were a bit blurry because that was the day after the conversation with Sam and she was a little out of it. "

I remember," she muttered

Gail rolled her eyes again and brought her attention back to Frank who was standing infront of the podium.

"Many of you have put in your applications for this officer exchange and even though it has taken a while for me to finally decide who should participate in this unique learning opprotunity I have come to a decision,"

Almost all of the rookies leaned forward in their seats at this,

"I have decided that the officer to do this exchange will be, despite her tardiness, Officer Andy McNally!"

Andy sat feeling very confused as everyone clapped for her and Chris and Dov patted her on the back, both whispering Congratulations. Andy stayed that way through the rest of Parade. How did I get into this program? She wonders I didn't even apply. Frank ended the meeting with a

"Protect, Serve, (And to Gail and Andy) and you two have volenteered for desk duty,"

Everyone but Gail and Andy laughed at this and they all filed out of the room

Andy went up to the podium and stood in front of Frank. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Need something McNally?" he asked her

"Yes sir," she responded, "Why did you pick me for the exchange program?" she asked.

He gave her a look before responding "Well McNally I reviewed all the applications and yours was by far the best,"

She gave him what seemed like he billionth confused look of the morning and said "But sir, I never applied,"

So how'd you like it? Was is good? I hope you liked it! The mysterious Jason Walker will be explained more soon. I know Sam seemed like a jerk in this chapter but everything is never as it seems. I'm a major McSwarek fan! In case you guys were confused this is post season 4. Sam has already been shot and McCollins has already burned out. Bye for now!
