Not what you thought...

AN: I don't own Rookie Blue! – Read and Review please!

The TOs looked over to the rookie table and were surprised to see two of the rookies missing.

Sam thought back over the day, Andy had barely said a word which was almost unheard of and when he saw Dov in parade he looked solemn and sad.

The rookies that were present at the Penny looked worried and confused but proceeded to get on with their evening and made their way through a pitcher of beer.

The TOs made their way over to the rookie table and sat down, they made idle chit chat none of them highlighting the fact that both Dov and Andy were missing.

Suddenly there was a big crash at the door followed by peels of giggles from a woman.

"No Honey, you have to open the door before you go through it."

The laughter came again and the gang recognised it as Andy.

The door opened and Andy came through pulling Dov by his hand.

They looked unusually close and everyone wondered what was going on. Andy stumbled over her feet and Dov awkwardly caught her.

"You're hammered Ands" he commented.

"Like you're not," Andy scoffed.

Traci got up and hurried over to the two.

"Where the hell have you been; why are you both hammered?"

She sounded like a mother scolding her children and Dov and Andy tried to look sorry but the giggles erupted from them again.

Sam looked at Andy confused, she never got drunk and yet here she was, hammered and in a really short dress and high heels looking like she'd been out to a club.

Dov supplied answers to his silent questions, "Well Andy here wanted to go dancing,"

Traci, Dov and Andy sat down at the table next to the others. Andy suddenly looked like she was going to burst into tears,

"But Dov can't dance," Dov looked tearful as well and the others looked at them feeling really confused. Dov put his arm around Andy and pulled her closer.

"I know Ands, its okay..." She sniffled and wiped under her eyes careful not to smudge her makeup.

The TOs were really confused now and the other rookies weren't doing any better.

"I should never have gone to that club Dov." Andy whispered and the others strained their ears to hear her. Dov's arm tightened around her.

"I know Andy, but we can't change what happened. I don't blame you." Andy sniffled again.

Suddenly she covered her mouth, leapt up from her chair and ran towards the bathroom.

Traci got up to follow her but Dov tugged her hand back down, "Na, Trace. Leave her alone, she won't wanna talk right now."

Dov's words were starting to get slurred. No one said anything for a while.

Andy eventually came and sat back down at the table next to Dov, she poked him,

"Can you take me home now, I don't want to remember anymore," Dov nodded but didn't get up.

"Andy, I can't drive, I think Traci's gonna have to take us home." Andy shrugged to indicate she didn't care.

"Sorry guys, we'll all walk you home but we left the cars at the Barn because it was such a nice night."

Everyone stood up and Oliver and Jerry looped Dov's arms over their shoulder to support him.

Andy insisted she was fine and walked in a jagged line out of the penny.

No one really spoke on the way back; Traci looked behind her to check on Andy and freaked out when she couldn't see her.

She told everyone to stop and they all turned back.

They didn't have to look far to find her. She was standing staring at a signpost on the side of the road.

Traci touched her shoulder gently,

"Andy, honey what's wrong?"

Andy gestured hopelessly to the floor next to the sign. She wasn't able to supply the words for her gestures.

Dov supplied the words for her.

"That's where I found her; the area had been taped of, the place swarming with cops..." His breath caught in his throat but he continued in a daze, telling them of the memory he was reliving, "Her face streaming with tears but he wasn't there. I looked around but I didn't want to leave her. He wasn't there..."

Chris spoke up for the first time in a while, "Who wasn't there Dov, why was Andy there?"

Dov closed his eyes and took another deep breath, "Adam."

The name slipped from his lips for the first time in front of the TOs but the rookies knew what he was talking about.

"July 16th" Gail muttered and then everyone turned to her. Dov and Andy were in tears again not caring that they weren't alone.

"Adam was Dov's brother and Andy's best friend."

The TOs gestured for her to continue,

"Andy and Adam had been out celebrating, they were eighteen, she had just passed her driving test but there was an accident at the club they were at. Some guy came in and held Adam at gunpoint, the manager came out and freaked the guy, he shot. Adam didn't make it. Dov found Andy on the curb after he found out about the accident..."

Everyone was stunned and all was silent as they thought over what they had just found out, Andy's voice broke through everyone's thoughts, it was small and childlike,

"Can someone take me home now?" Sam went over and scooped her up. He carried her to her apartment which was around the corner, everyone followed.

Andy stumbled into her bedroom and slammed the door. Sam started to follow her but Dov spoke up again,

"Leave her alone, she'll be better in the morning, we should go now."

Everyone was shocked at Dov's admission but they took his advice, it seemed to them that Dov knew Andy better than anyone.

On the way out they saw the pictures that lined Andy's walls.

Countless memories of Andy's life covered the wall and the gang thought about how little they all knew about this rookie's past.

Sam shut Andy's door behind him. He knew there were unanswered questions, but he also knew Andy, she would tell them when she was ready, she would tell them when it was necessary.

AN: Bit of a rubbish ending – sorry :/ - anyways, let me know if you think I should continue with this or just leave it as a oneshot. I love the friendship between Dov and Andy; I think they make a really good brother/sister combo. Anyways – let me know what you think of this. Thanks C xx
