Ok I know that I really shouldn't be starting another Fic before I finish Midas. But this just wouldn't go away. I have no idea if it is going to just two chapters or longer.
Thanks for taking the time to read and please review.
Have a great day!
If Tomorrow never comes
Sam and Andy were having a good day. Andy had called things off with Luke a month ago and settled into a good routine with Sam. Her new apartment was near Sam. She cooked for him once a week and he returned the favour. The rest of their time off they spent with their friends. They were nowhere near being together but they were best friends.
Today was no different Sam had arrived at Andy's as she rushed out of the door. He handed her a coffee as she jumped in and they headed towards the barn.
Andy had been telling Sam all about her plans for the next night. She was taking Tommy out for dinner to celebrate his six months sober. They received a call for a multiple RTA.
"Tell'em we're on our way"
Andy grabbed the radio and told dispatch to show them attending and flipped the lights on. As they arrived at the scene they realised how bad it was. At least 4 cars. As they got closer Sam heard Andy gasp, he realised what she had seen. She had her seatbelt off and was running before Sam had time to stop the car fully. Sam was out if the car and running after her. Shouting her name. Shaw looked up as he saw Andy run. Moving to try and stop her. In the end she ran into the solid wall of Chris' chest. Chris held on to her tightly and she struggled. He put his hands on either side of Andy's face and forced her to look at him.
" No Andy"
" Chris let go"
"no. Nobody should see this especially you"
And with that Chris pulled Andy into a tight embrace her cheek pressed against his shirt.
Sam had caught up and Oliver walked over shaking his head
" nothing anyone could do, you need to take her home Sam"
Sam just nodded afraid to speak. He walked towards where Andy and Chris stood. Chris stroking her back. He looked at Sam and nodded.
" Andy, Sam's here" Chris untangled Andy from him and Sam moved in to hold Andy.
" come on sweetheart let's get you away from here" Andy just nodded as she clung to Sam. Sam picked her up and carried her to the car.
Oliver stood with the chief fireman at the scene.
" I heard Swarek had a pretty rookie, heard she keeps him on his toes as well"
Oliver smiled at the description of Andy" yep, life's not boring with McNally around for any of us"
" bit over emotional for a cop though"
" she's aloud to be. We all are over this one but especially her" the fire chief looked at Oliver with a raised eyebrow.
" the car in the middle of all this is a ex cop from the 15th and McNally's dad"
" Ollie I'm sorry"
" we all are Jack"
" if there is anything we can do let us know, I didn't realise she was Tommy's girl or that it was Tommy in the wreck"
Ollie shrugged and stayed silent. There was nothing more to say. At 25 Andy was now affectively an orphan with no relatives. It was a good job she had a family at the 15th, Oliver had a feeling she was going to need them and Sam more than ever. Oliver realised it was time to tell Frank.
" Best"
" Frank, have you got a minute"
Oliver sounded worn out to Frank and not his normally cheery self.
" Oliver what is it? Zoe & the girls ok?"
" yea Frank there fine. I'm at that multi car on the freeway"
" yea I heard it was bad"
" the worst is yet to come. 5 fatalities. One of them was Tommy McNally"
" oh Christ, I need to speak to Andy"
" its worse Frank"
" how could it be worse"
" Sam and Andy answered the call"
" is she ok? Did she see anything?"
" no Diaz stopped her. I got Sam to take her home. I think he should stay with her"
"thanks for letting me know. I'll head over there now"
" oh Frank you might want to let Nash know"
" will do, are you ok Oliver? I know you knew Tommy well"
" I'll be fine I have Zoe and the girls at home"
" if you're sure"
" I'm sure. It's Andy we need to look out for"
With that Frank and Oliver hung up. Frank ran his hand over his face. Poor Andy didn't need this.
