I do not own Rookie Blue.

So here's just a little something I thought of the other day. I can actually see this happening in the show, obviously it won't, but a girl can dream, right? Anyway here is the first chapter. I hope you guys like it! And as always, I love reading your reviews, so don't hesitate.


It had been another one of those days. A day where not one interesting thing had happened. A day spent riding in the car waiting for the radio to announce any sort of crime or mishap that needed tending to. After the undercover operation everything seemed to go back to normal for the cops at the fifteenth division. Traci returned to desk duty. Chris and Gail had worked things out and were now back on track. Dov desperately continued trying to impress his superiors. And Sam and Andy, well, they continued riding together. They were partners, something neither one of them wanted to change, so they rode together.

Due to the long uneventful day, Sam and Andy were both thrilled when they pulled up to the station. It still amazed them how the most unexciting days, the days spent sitting in a car for ten hours, were the days that drained them the most. Both were ready to get out of the uniform and away from the station.

"You heading to the Penny tonight?" Sam asked as he exited the car.

"Maybe," Andy replied. "I promised my dad I would go with him to his meeting tonight, but I might stop by after," she finished as they walked into the station.

"How's he doing? How are the meetings going?" Sam asked as they headed for the locker rooms.

"The meetings are going really well. He's doing great. I'm so proud of him," Andy informed him with a smile on her face. She was surprised her dad was sticking to the meetings and staying away from the alcohol. She was proud of him. For the first time in years, she had no reason to be ashamed of him.

"I'm glad to hear that. Tommy is strong. I have no doubt in my mind that he'll get through this," Sam said genuinely as he approached the men's room.

"Thanks, Sam" Andy added smiling back and stopping in front of him. As always, he said exactly what she needed to hear.

"Yep, no problem. See you later?" he asked through his crooked smile.

"See you later," she added as he walked into the locker room. She wasn't really planning on going to the Penny before, but now her gut twisted with a little bit of anticipation. She knew it was wrong, the feelings Sam elicited in her, considering she was with Luke, but she couldn't really help it.


As Sam pulled into the parking lot at the Penny he noticed it was a little more crowded than it usually was. He walked in and spotted Jerry and Oliver sitting at the bar. Jerry was laughing hysterically at something Oliver was saying.

"Hey boys, what's so funny?" Sam asked as he sat down next to Oliver. He waved at the bartender and ordered a drink before he urged Oliver to continue with whatever he had been saying.

"Ollie here was just telling me what a day on the job with Epstein is like," Jerry cut in barely containing his laughter.

"The kid just tires to kiss my ass all the time," Oliver said sighing and taking a sip of his beer.

"I think it's kind of cute. He wants to be just like you," Jerry said mockingly.

"Yeah, well, he's getting on my last nerve," Oliver let out waving a hand in the air.

Sam was laughing now. "Look man, it could be worse. You could be stuck with Chris the walking manual or Little Miss Perfect. Epstein might be a pain in the ass but at least he'll never fail to surprise you."

"Yeah, yeah, easy for you to say, you get to ride around all day with McNally," Oliver said looking over at Sam and raising his eyebrows.

"What can I say man, some of us just walk in the light," Sam said sarcastically. "What about you Jer? How are things?"

"Not great. I'm working on a case with Callaghan and things just aren't adding up. Triple homicide, no witnesses, no murder weapon and no suspects. It's hitting Callaghan pretty hard," he said motioning with his beer over to where Luke was hunched over his drink at the other end of the bar.

"Oh, he looks like hell," Oliver said after looking down the bar.

Sam looked at Callaghan too and realized he really did look terrible. He wanted to feel bad for the guy but he couldn't. It was nice to see him struggle for once. Life isn't so perfect after all, is it, he thought to himself.


As the night wore on, the bar started to clear out. Jerry and Oliver headed home but Sam decided to stay and have one more drink. It had been a long day.

As the bartender handed him his drink, Sam heard a burst of laughter come from the other end of the bar. He looked up to see Luke deeply engaged in conversation with a woman. Sam may not know Luke well, but he's not an idiot. It was pretty obvious to him, and anyone else who might have been watching, that Luke and this woman were flirting.

Sam shrugged it off keeping in mind that it was none of his business. He tried to look away, but he couldn't. He couldn't help but think about Andy. She was at a meeting with her dad while Callaghan flirted it up with some bimbo at the bar. She deserved better. Sam fought the urge to go up to him and punch him in the face. That wouldn't solve anything. It would feel great, but it would only make things worse.

As he took another sip of his drink, trying to ignore the scene going on to his left, he saw Callaghan grab the woman's hand and pull her in closer. Sam was angry now. That's it. Someone needs to teach this asshole a lesson, he thought. Sam knew he shouldn't get involved but he had too. Even if he and Andy were only friends, he cared about her. He wasn't going to let some guy use her right in front of him. He left his drink on the bar and headed over to where Callaghan was sitting.

"Callaghan, can I have a word," he asked in a flat voice.

Luke looked up. "Buzz off Swarek," he said turning his attention back to the woman standing next to him.

Sam grabbed Luke by the arm and dragged him out the side door. He didn't care if anyone saw him do it. Luke was acting like a jackass and someone needed to let him know. If Luke didn't want to talk to him then he was going to make him listen.

"What the hell?" Luke shouted as he yanked his arm out of Sam's grip.

"Oh, shut up. I'm helping your drunk ass," Sam replied taking a few steps back from where Callaghan was standing.

Luke glared at him as if he had no idea what Sam was talking about.

Sam continued. "You do realize that woman in the bar you've been flirting with is not McNally, don't you?"

"You have no idea what you are talking about Swarek. I'm not flirting with anyone," Luke said as he tripped over a bottle outside.

"Oh yeah?" Sam was fuming now. He wasn't even sure where all this anger was coming from. "That tall blond chick inside? Ring any bells? If you don't call what you were doing in there with her flirting then what do you call it? Huh? Cause it sure as hell looked like you were trying to get in her pants." Sam couldn't stop. Luke needed to be put in his place and it looked like he was going to be the one to do it.

"You know, man, you're an idiot. You don't even realize what you have do you? You have no idea how lucky you are," Sam said glaring at Luke.

"What the hell are you talking about Swarek?" Luke asked not at all liking the insinuation Sam was making.

"McNally!" he shouted. "Why she stays with you is beyond me," Sam let out.

"You know…," Luke started before being cut off by Sam.

"No, shut up. I'm talking now. I'm not going to sit around and watch you try to pick up a woman in a bar. God man, you have an amazing woman to go home to every night and instead you are here making a fool out of yourself. What is your problem? McNally deserves better than you. Way better. You know for being a detective you are pretty dim, Callaghan. You don't even see what's right in front of you. I hope McNally puts you in your place soon. Because if she doesn't, I will," Sam finished slightly out of breath. He knew what he was doing was wrong and that Andy would probably be pissed at him later, but he didn't care. If Andy wanted to be with Callaghan then he was going to have her back. Because she was his partner. And that's what a partner does.

"Look man you need to back off. My relationship with Andy is none of your business," Luke threatened taking a step closer to Sam.

Before Sam could say anything else he saw Luke's gaze shift slightly to the right. He turned around to see a woman staring right back at him.

Oh shit. Andy.


Thoughts? I already have the next chapter written but if anyone would like to see something specific happen or be said let me know!
