"Fine no more talk sweetie? How was your day?" as jerry placed a kiss on her lips.
"It was fine I've had better, but I'm not complaining" as she helped pack the boxes with the folders to help speed along the process
"Where is Andy?" Sam asked
"She is still in the locker room? You might what to head there yourself so we can go" as she practically pushed them out the door as she finished up putting away the folders. As Sam and Jerry were coming out of the locker room they ran into Tracy and Andy.
"Well hey there beautiful I do believe we have a date tonight?" Sam whispered in her ear as he placed a kiss on her neck. Andy started to giggle she was so in love with this man and she loved the way he made her feel.
"Please get a room? But not until after dinner?" Jerry said laughing as Tracy joined in.
"Hey if I wasn't so hungry from all the hours we put in trust I would" Sam winked at Andy
"Well you wait until after dinner I have a new nightie I want to show you?" Andy whispered in Sam's ear
"What?" Sam looked at her. "Oh did I mention it is see thru as well?" as she let out a seductive giggle. A big smile spreads across Sam's face. He didn't know how he was going to be able to eat dinner while the whole time he will be picturing Andy in that nightie?
"Okay love birds time to go?" Tracy told them. As they were heading out of the station Sam heard a woman call his name?
"Monica what are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you its very important?' Monica told him
"Sure what is it?" he asked. "Alone?" She asked as she looked at Andy, when she said it.
Andy thought it was a bit odd for Sam ex to be coming to the station asking to speak to him alone and she felt like it was directed at her but she just let it go.
Something didn't feel right to Sam "whatever you have to say you can say it in front them?" he told her.
"Okay it's regarding your case on Max Kincaid?" she looked terrified
Sam and Jerry just looked at each other was this the big break they were looking for? But how is it Monica that was giving it to them. As they lead Monica down to room 3 so they could get all the information she was about to offer them.
"Okay Monica start from the beginning" Jerry told her
"Well I met max when he came into the hospital with his brother? Well now I think about it that wasn't his brother. But we had been seeing each other for about six months when his life spilled into mine?"
"What do you mean spilled into yours?" Sam asked her
"Well he had been coming home late so I got suspicious thinking he was cheating? So he met me at the hospital and tried to talk to me, but I told him I wanted the truth? That's when he said he runs one of the biggest drug rings in Canada? I was shocked I couldn't believe what he was telling me? I thought he was covering up his infidelity?" she started to cry
"Okay what made you believe him?" Andy asked and also intrigues now with her story which seems to have some holes but she let it go because Sam and Jerry are great at what they do so she knew they would see the same holes.
"After I told him I didn't want to see him anymore he left and I didn't see him for days?' so one night he came in the hospital and I thought he came to win me back but he said he needed my help? He was bleeding really badly from a gunshot wound and he asked me to fix him up?"
"Did you do that? Because if you did I need to know I don't need any surprises that can implicate you in anyway?" Sam looked at her sternly
"Yes I did help him because I still loved him, he told me a deal went bad and he needed to lay low for a while? He asked could he stash some things at my place because he was leaving town for a bit so I told him yes. Not until a week ago I decided to look through it and that's why I am here" she looked like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
By the time she had finished telling her story Frank and Boyd was in the room figuring out what to next on how to get SOB for good.
"This is so pretty damaging evidence against him? But I want to make sure all our ducks are in a row because Max is a slippery snake to catch?" Boyd told them.
"Well first we have to get her in protective custody first off" Frank suggested to Boyd
"Of course she is our star witness can't let anything happen to her?" as he looked at Monica
"I won't go anywhere unless I am with Sam? I feel safe with him I know he will protect me" She told Boyd
"I don't think that is an option? Yes Sam is one of my best but I will not alter his life for this?" He told Monica and Boyd
"Well I won't testify?" she shot a look at Frank
Frank didn't trust her something was off about her and her story and he would not put Sam life at risk, even though he wanted this creep off the street. Besides it wasn't Sam he was worried about it was Andy?
"Come on Frank at least let's run it by Sam first before we say no and lose the biggest lead they had on this creep?" Boyd pleaded with him
"Fine let's go find Sam and see what he says about this?" Frank and Boyd left the room and they told Monica to sit tight they would be back. Now all they had to do was try and convince Sam to be Monica's protective custodian? Frank and Boyd walked into the parade room where Jerry, Sam, Andy, and Tracy were.
"She agreed to testify against Max" Boyd let them know
"That's great! Seems like an open and shut case? We finally got that SOB" Sam cheered as he played punched Jerry in the side
"A year on this case and finally Max Kincaid is going down?" Jerry was happy that this case was about to wrap.
"There is just one catch to all of this?" Frank interrupted their celebration
"Whatever it is let's just do it so we can get this bastard behind bars" Sam said
"I'm glad you feel that way Sam because she only agreed to testify if she was placed in protective custody under you?" Boyd just waited for it because he knew Sam was going to flip.
"What? I hope you told her no?" Sam looked at them to assure that's what they told her.
"I told her that was out of the question Sam? But she said if you didn't she would not testify?" Frank tried to explain to him
"What about my life? This case has already taken a lot from me?" and when he said that he looked at Andy who was looking at him and he could tell she did not like this idea.
"Come Sam I'm asking this one last thing so we can put this bastard away for good?" Boyd pleaded with him
"I need to discuss this with Andy?" He looked at Boyd. So everyone got up and left the room to give Sam and Andy their privacy. They knew this was a long shot but they had hoped it would work.
"There is no way in hell Sam is going to go through with this?" Jerry told them
"He loves Andy too much and he cherishes their relationship to much? Plus this past year was a lot for them?" Tracy explained to Boyd. Frank looked towards the parade room and was wondering what was going on?
"Andy I am sorry to be having this conversation with you about this? As he closed the distances in between them, "I love Andy and we do not have to do this?" as he looked into her eyes.
"Sam this is what you have been waiting for? The evidence to put Max away for a long time who am I to stand in the way of that?" she pulled away she couldn't look Sam in the face because she knew he would see the concern in her eyes.
"Don't do that Andy don't shut down we have had a rough year but we made it through so no going back you hear me? I love you with all of me and I am not about to lose this what we have over a case" As Sam pulled her to him and lifted her chin up so he could look straight into her eyes to know he meant it.
Andy couldn't stop the tears from coming as she looked at Sam. "I can only think about what happened with Luke and Jo that they had a past and look how that turned out?" she told him
"Andy I am not Luke? I would never hurt you like that? Sweetheart there is not another woman on this earth that I want over you, you are all I want and need don't ever doubt that Andy" as he placed a tender kiss on her lips. Andy hugged him and whispered in his ear "you promise Sam?"
He turn her face where he was looking in her eyes and he place her hand over his heart and he told her "I promise baby this is where you live no one else only you Andy" and he pulled her closed and hugged her Andy had never felt so loved and secure than she felt right in that moment.
"Do it so you can get him off the streets Sam?" she told him
"Are you sure about this?" Sam asked her. "Yes I am fine with it" She smiled at him.
"We'll let me go tell Boyd he got his way again" something Sam did not enjoy doing. Andy and Sam walked out of the parade room to where jerry and everybody were.
"Let's do it and get this over with? I would like my life back got it?" Sam told Boyd.
"Yes brother I got you" Boyd was very happy to have Sam agree to this.
Frank looked at them both but mostly at Andy when asking them "are you sure about this? There is no going back?" they both nodded at Frank and they headed down the hall to inform Monica what had just occurred.
Tracy pulled Andy to the side to make sure she was okay? "Hey sweetie I know this just have to suck right now?"
"I am good Tracy me and Sam are in a good place and I am not about to mess that up over stupid insecurities I don't know why I am having?" she just shrugged her shoulders like it doesn't matter.
She felt two arms circle her waist and someone placed a kiss on her neck? She could tell those lips from anywhere. As she turned to face Sam he placed a sweet passionate kiss on her lips and she just melted into him. Sam and Andy usually didn't show this much affection in the station but he didn't care who saw. He just knew he loved this woman more than life itself.
Then they heard a voice from behind them "sorry to interrupt? But Sam I am all yours?" Sam and Andy turned around to see Monica standing there with a big smile on her face
