Chapter 1: A New Life
As she opened her eyes, she looked onto the new Toronto skyline. Andy McNally, the rising star of 15 Division, fiancee of Sam Swarek, daughter of Tommy McNally, friend of Tracy Nash and so many others, remembers her first day at the Division, chasing the suspect who turned out to be an undercover cop, her Training Officer, and partner at work and in life. She laughs at the memory and hurries up to get ready for the first day of her new job.
She walks into the Parade Room sits in the back of the room in between Sam and Oliver. She waits until everyone is in the room before moving to the front of the room and walking up that podium that remains unchanged regardless of the flow of Staff Sergeants that influence the timeless Division's halls and offices. She looks around the room, sees the reassuring looks from the veterans that taught her everything she knew, and the looks from the rooks and the younger officers.
"Alright people," she begins and then as it all flows out of her, she knows that this is where she wants to be. She looks around the room again and she sees the almost indistinguishable change in the behavior and posture of her people. She can sense the level the professionalism seeping out of the coppers and starting to form in the rookies. She looks at her Ds, Swarek, Oliver, Tracy, and Jerry, they all have knowing smiles on their face. Andy finishes the briefing with the days Protect and Serve Variant. "Protect and Serve and don't let me down."
Everyone walks off to their respective duties while Andy walks to her office. She pulls out the key that Best gave her as he left earlier, and unlocks the glass room. She puts the box of stuff that she collected from her last desk and begins to place it on top. She pulls out the name block and slides out the old plate that says Officer Andy McNally and replaces it with one that says Staff Sergeant Andy McNally. She also places the picture of her and Swarek when Swarek proposed to her, and the picture of everyone when Sam and Andy told them they were engaged. She relives the moment when he proposed again as she does every time she looks at the picture. She continues unpacking and when she is done she sits down and looks out at her division. It dawns on her at this moment that she is in charge of all of her friends, the rookies who arrived a few weeks ago and the experienced coppers that replaced the officers that have left. Over the last six years since her tie was cut, she has seen many of her friends leave 15. Noelle left to be a Staff Sergeant once her and Frank's child was born. Frank was just promoted to Deputy Chief of Police. Dov joined ETF and now is a team commander in the west side of the city. Gail and Nick moved to 27 Division once they got engaged again and their wedding was a beautiful ceremony that all of their friends attended. Andy was conned into being the maid of honor, but she enjoyed it after understanding how much Gail had thawed out after regaining Nick. Chris moved up to headquarters and now is a staff inspector working on rewriting the rules that are in need of changing. Even though many have left, Sam, Tracy, Oliver, and Jerry have remained with her. While Sam and Oliver became Detectives, they still were there for Andy as she continued down the path to where she is now.
As she listens to the radio chatter, she picks up the keys that were sitting in the top drawer with 15S1 on the tag. She smiles as she walks out to the parking lot and she looks up at her new patrol vehicle, the beautiful Toronto Police Tahoe that says "Supervisor" on the side. She gets in and starts it up. As she does her radio crackles and says, "Standby for the Hot one..." she listens pulls out hits the lights and siren and says, "15 Sierra 1, Show me as responding."
