A/N: oh my god you guys! I defiantly did not expect that for my first chapter, and especially with how short it is! You guys defiantly know how to make a girl feel special. So I'm going to work myself to the bones of my fingers here to try to get you a LONG new chapter SOON. But for now I'm just setting the scene so this one will be a little short still. The next one I promise will be longer! ENJOY

Cut Loose, Fly High
Today Andy McNally was running later than normal, so late that she completely missed parade. She was so pissed, not at herself for being late, but for Luke for making her late. He didn't even do It in a way that would make a girls heart flutter, he didn't even try to make her late. No the reason why she was pissed was because he left her for Jo the night before and kicked Andy out of the house they bought together. Andy spent the night at Traci's, with Traci's son and mom. Traci herself was spending the night with her boyfriend, and Luke's coworker, Jerry. Andy couldn't help but envy her best friend. Traci might have had a tough ride but at least now she had a great life. A great man who loved her, a beautiful child, a supportive mom—none of which Andy had now.
Andy tried to push that train of thought out of her mind as she walked into the bullpen and saw everyone staring at her with strange expressions, mixtures of worry and excitement were seen on the sea of faces. Andy tried to ignore it as she walked past them all to her best friend and whispered if she had something on her face. Traci just laughed and shook her head.
"Didn't you hear?" Trace asked.
"Hear what? I just got here." Traci's eyes widened and her playful smile faltered a little before her grin grew wider.
"Just wait. Look up there." Traci told her, pointing to Bests office. Andy looked up in confusion and saw her boss talking to a man who looked incredibly scruffy looking and smug. He looked really smug, and slimy.
"Who is he?" Andy asked.
"His name is Donovan Boyd. He runs Guns and Gangs." Andy turned her head back to her friend. What did this Boyd guy have to do with her?
"Okay..?"
"Just wait." Traci repeated. Andy frowned her eyebrows and looked back up at the class incased office catching Bests' eye. He gave her a smile and motioned for her to come up. Andy took a second to look around and saw it was her that he was motioning too. Andy gulped. They were just cut loose a week ago and she already got in trouble? What did she do? She slowly walked up the steps and it felt too much like she was being sent to the principal's office. She arrived at the door and took a deep breath before opening the door and taking a step in.
"Sir?" She asked in an uneasy voice.
"McNally take a seat." He told her motioning to the open chair next to Boyd. "This is detective Donovan Boyd, he runs guns and gangs."
"I know sir," Andy cut in. "News travels fast." She muttered once she was met with the hard stare of Boyd. That moment Boyd turned back to Best.
"Shes too shy. Her look would work but shes too reserved. What about that Peck girl?"
"Wait, sir what is this about?" Andy asked looking between the two men. Best only smiled but didn't reply.
"Shes good, trust me. She's more believable than Peck, and she won't be what they expect." Boyd looked thoughtful about this pieced of information then reluctantly nodded.
"Your right. She'll do. But if anything goes wrong with her, it's on you Sargent." Best nodded and smiled as Boyd stood and stalked out of the room.
"Sir?" Andy asked again, suddenly very reluctant, unsure of what was just planned for her.
"McNally you are going under cover." Best told her with a grin, and Andy's eyes widened in fear and shock.
"M-me sir?" She stuttered. Her fists clenched a little staring at her boss.
"Yes you McNally. I know you can do this and we need you do this. And Boyd is letting me fill you in on the details. You are going under to help one of our own, but you won't know who he is. You are going to run your own op to take down the Human Trafficking section of Anton Hill's organization. You will be going under as a dancer." This was too much information for Andy to take in. she could physically feel her blood rush from her face and down to her feet. "McNally!" Best stood quickly and grabbed a glass of water and kneeled beside her.
"McNally you will do fine. It's in your blood, and it's your turn to fly from the nest. Don't worry your friends will be there every step of the way. You'll drop your information to us when you go for meetings and it won't last to long." Andy gripped the plastic cup of water in her tightly clenched hand before taking a breath. She closed her eyes and took several short deep breaths. So much was happening. First Luke leaves her, and now she's being put undercover. A new identity, a new life, a new chance. Finally after a few moments she lifted her head and looked at boss and nodded.
"I'll do it."
