Chapter two The truth revealed

In an isolated warehouse on the outskirts of town Andy opened her eyes. Her head was pounding and she felt crappy as hell. As she stood up, she saw that she was in a rather large room with a bed, table and chair. There was also a window and she could see the buildings from it. As she thought back what had happened, she remembered it all. They were chasing McKenna and she went after him. First, he forced her into a car, but when he saw Nick, he took her out, as Nick was knocked unconscious. Then, he pulled her into a chopper and knocked her out too. Then, as she was trying to get out of the window, McKenna stepped in. "Hello, my friend. I see that you are awake. That is better because now we will have more fun. What's your name?" he asked smirking. She looked fiercely at him and replied, "you know my name, why the hell did you knock me out"

"I will have no fun with you soon enough "he said "but first don't play me for stupid we both know your name is not Alison"

"I was running with you, you know who I am "she stated

"Right sorry Andy "he said with a smirk

"Am not sure what you think you know but….your wrong "she said sternly

"Not according to your file, how do you think I always stayed one step ahead "he laughed

Well then if that's the case I'm sure my colleague's will be here soon." But Reggie only laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about that. They won't look for as far as they are concerned your dead, Ms. McNally," he said looking at her before he left the room. Andy felt terrible, what he said couldn't be true. They thought she was dead? Nick, Luke, Traci, Sam, her eyes welled up with tears her family, friends, all thought it. She felt as her life had truly ended that moment.

Sam was sitting in his apartment, bottle of whisky almost drained on the table in front of him when Oliver had come to check on him. When he let himself in not wanting to disturb him in the event he was sleeping he watched his friend take another sip from his bottle before his eyes glanced over to an object in his hand, he was holding a picture of Andy and he seemed deeply lost in thoughts. "Sammy, brother, we have to get going, "he quietly said as he sat next to him He nodded and then loudly said, "You know Ollie, I have never loved anyone as much as her." His friend nodded and replied, "Yeah, I know Sammy. It was obvious, I can tell." he smiled a little but Sam sadly said, "But I never told her that. And she is gone without knowing how much I cared of her, how much I loved her..." His voice faded at the last words and tears gained in his eyes. Ollie put his hand on his shoulder and said, "We really should go now, brother, or we are going to be late." He watched his friend slowly stand up and make his way to the door waiting for him to come, "if I go it will make it real, I don't think I can do this again "his words slurred from emotion and the alcohol"

"Brother we all loved her, we owe her this much to be there for her for tommy for Nash and Leo, but we owe it ourselves as well to say when one bleeds, we all bleed. Today there will be a sea of blue, a day we make people understand we are a family and when one of us is hurt we all hurt and that we will get justice for our sister in blue, no matter what "Ollie said, firm and fair, and caring just like Andy

Reaching out his hand, he touched Sam's shoulder "common brother, "he stood up and walked to his door, his brother beside him, with a heavy breath they headed out of his apartment, it won't be easy but they had to do what was needed, no going back..

Across the city, in the dark, infested warehouse where Andy was being held, she tried to untie herself but it was no good. Finally, she leaned back and thought about McKenna's words. Everybody thought that she was dead. She couldn't imagine what her family and friends were going through, what Nick and Sam, might be going through... She had never told either of them how much she cared of them, how much she loved them and her other friends and family. Now she was dead without saying it. Thinking of it, she started to work to untie herself again, putting all the energy that she could muster, She got herself loose almost through a miracle, she would be home soon, things were going to be okay.

At Andy's funerals everybody cried uncontrollably. It was hard to believe that their good friend had just died when she was still so young. No one at 15 could understand why Andy had to die, she was always the lucky one, the trouble magnet that always managed to still come out on top. She had her entire life in front of her, why would God want to take away their good friend who was so young, away from the ones who loved her so much? Everybody thought the same as they saw the urn with Andy's ashes being laid to their final resting place. Her final place of resting seemed fitting, a beautiful spot next to shady tree, close to another friend another fallen member of the 15 family. Nick stood among his friends, and her family the devastation written clear on his face, tommy held tight to Tracy as nick held tight to her, Claire was present but stayed back as she felt somehow she was intruding even though Andy was her daughter she couldn't help but blame her for following in her father's footsteps. Sam stayed at Oliver's side, it was clear he was devastated... He didn't cry but his look was so dark and sad that everyone saw how he suffered. When it was time for farewells in the small church, he stood at the back and listened to the rookies tell story after story, showing how her love and courage was a true gift., he listened to Tommy as his voice cracked with pain as he relieved memories of his little girl learning to pick locks, and finally her partner, he stood silently for a moment as he took a breath and tried to speak, "Andy McNally was a fantastic person who always gave to others and not herself. She was kind, caring, generous, and nice. There are too many words to describe her but most of all she was the person we all loved dearly. I don't understand why God had to take her away and didn't give her a chance to live this life. It changed so many things, I never got to tell her how much she helped me grow, and how much her friendship partnership meant to me, I would've given my life for hers, as she did for me, She will be in our hearts forever, "I love you partner, he whispered before he returned to Gayle and Tracy's sides to comfort one another. there were tears in everyone's eyes. They understood how much they had grown together, and depended on each other, theirs was a lasting partnership.

In that moment it seemed almost like he didn't belong there anymore, he loved her, he did, but he had broken her heart and caused her to leave, he wanted to blame nick, but he knew in his heart it was his fault she died, like Jerry those close to him never stay, he couldn't protect Jerry, or her, what else was left, without a word he left the church, left the grounds, but what no one else knew was he had also left something at Andy grave site, something that went into the ground with her that could not be given back, he had left his heart behind with her, because she was his heart.
