Rated T, just because.
A/N: So sorry it's been so long, guys! I was on a RB hiatus because I missed the finale (the last two, actually) and couldn't find them anywhere. But I finally found them and watched them, so I'm back! Yay!
Just BTW, I loved the Chris and Gail thing at the end, and the Chris!whumpage. But the Andy/Luke and absence of Andy/Sam? So not cool, RB writers; seriously, not cool at all.
But anyways, here's a little drabble from Takedown! It's pretty self-explanatory ... and short!
Yeah, just a quickie. I hope you enjoy anyways!

Andy McNally. Set after 'Takedown'.
I'm terrified.
Good, that's what makes it fun.
She almost shakes her head at that, because it's so very ridiculous and surprisingly helpful, actually ... and so very Sam, when she thinks about it. He's always doing that; saying the stupid little things, and sometimes the not-so-stupid-at-all things, that manage to put everything back into perspective and centre her around what it is they have to do; what she has to do.
(They have to somehow manage to pull off this drug bust; she has to manage to not screw it up.)
She can't pretend that her knees aren't shaking just the tiniest bit or that her insides aren't screaming in protest. Because a few little words from him can't get rid of all the fear coursing through her veins, as much as they may help. (His arm around her once they've gotten out of the car doesn't hurt either.)
She's still terrified. She knows that one small slip up could mean not only a botched bust (a bust bigger than the 15th has ever had in its history), but also possibly the death of either one of them; and right now her heart and gut feel heavy from the full weight of the responsibility sitting on her shoulders.
But she's ready. Really, she's got this. She's a better actress than she used to be, no doubt about it, and she thinks that maybe, just maybe she can pull this off. Nothing's ever that cut and dry, of course, in this line of work, but she's confident that with Sam she has a good chance of not messing it all up.
Because this isn't her first day anymore; she's been all the way to hell (and all the way back) in less than a year, garnering many of the experiences that her colleagues took years to get under their belt.
Everyone might still treat her like a rookie, but she's not.
She may be terrified like she was on her first day, but it's different; because then she only thought that being scared was okay. Now she knows.
She's pretty sure that it would be way worse if she wasn't.

So, yeah, I'm pretty sure that I got the quote at the top wrong, even though I just watched the episode, but oh well (;. If anyone remembers what it is, feel free to let me know, but if you don't I can just leave it like it is, lol.
Please leave a review, and make my otherwise somewhat shitty day better!
