It played over and over in her head like a broken merry go round. The "Oath of Honor"...Sam missing and she was about to be interrogated by Boyd. How as a little girl she made her dad recite it everyday before leaving for work. You see Tommy, her father was a police officer many years ago and a darn good one…until…something happened and he changed. She's not sure if the change happened before or after her mom left them. But Tommy began drinking and started making costly mistakes on the job and nothing was same for the little girl named Andy.

So here she is today, standing at her father's front door thinking about the past two weeks when she realizes that she had already knocked and Tommy was standing in the doorway looking at his daughter nervously pacing back and forth in front of him. He knew instantly something was wrong. "Hey, dad", Andy said quietly as she stopped pacing and walked into the apartment.

"Andy, princess what's up?" Tommy said giving her a hug. Andy plopped on the couch, hesitated, taking a deep breath began to tell her dad everything that had happened in the last two weeks; the last case with Sam and the victim dying suddenly, Sam going undercover without a word, then meeting up with him on the Scavenger Hunt, and finally about her and Sam getting suspended for being together while he was undercover. Tommy sat silently listening to everything Andy said.

"Dad, I'm so sorry, I've disappointed…. Andy began, but Tommy interrupted her. "Andy!" Tommy said roughly, "you have nothing to be sorry about and you haven't disappointed me in any way."

But Andy was not listening. She continued, "When I think about all those times I would get mad at you… for making you repeat the "Oath of Honor"….everyday! Getting mad at your for saying that you're only human. For trying to be perfect and wanting you to be perfect and not screw up. I realize now that you could only have done your best…I should have known." Tommy hugged Andy, feeling all the pain he'd caused her for so many years by being a drunk. For making his little girl grow up too fast, "Andy, that's all any of us can do in any situation, I'm the one who's sorry for ruining your childhood."

Tommy talked to Andy for a long time about their past and about her mother telling her things she had not known before; how happy they were to have a beautiful brown eyed girl (even though Tommy had secretly wanted a boy, hence the name Andy). "I wouldn't trade you in for anything, I'm so proud of you." Tommy smiled. After a long pause, both were deep in their thoughts. Then Tommy clears his throat and brings up the subject of Sam. Andy had been holding her breath waiting for Tommy's reaction to her and Sam. "So where do things stand with you and Swarek now?" he growled.

Andy hesitated, unsure of how to answer because she wasn't sure herself at this point. Sam's offer of trying to be normal together was both exciting and frightening at the same time but given everything that's happened, Andy once again played it safe and asked Sam for time. For someone who was not good with time and space she knew she was asking a lot and she could see the disappointment in Sam's eyes when she answered, but Sam being Sam smiled and agreed to give her some time, two weeks to be exact.

"I'm, not really sure." Andy finally answered her voice quivering. "Dad, I was so scared when Brennan kidnapped Sam…he, he tortured him and would have killed him if we hadn't gotten there in time. I just don't know, you know the one time I choose to do something without thinking, it bites us both in the butt."

Tommy hugged his daughter tighter feeling all the tension and pain she has built up inside of her. "Baby it sounds like you and Sam had some unresolved feelings for each other that unfortunately, played out at the wrong time." He said trying to make her feel a little bit better. "You can't blame yourself for what happened" "From what you've told me, Boyd is responsible for Sam's cover being blown."

"I know….." Andy whispered as tears began to fall from her big brown eyes. Unable to hold it in any longer Andy let her tears fall for a long time releasing the past few months of tension and pain beginning with Luke's cheating on her. Tommy pulled her close into his arms and held her, letting her get it all out of her system. The apartment was quiet for a while when Tommy sensed she was calming down and got up saying. "Why don't you take a nap? You've had quite a few months, I need to run a few errands..., I'll be back in a bit." Tommy left the apartment shaken by his daughter's pain.
