'Kay wow… just WOW! Never wrote a story in my life, thought what the hell I'll give it a try and in just one day 556 views, 19 reviews, 20 followers and 6 favorites. AMAZING!

So, first I want to clear some things out: in my story Gail didn't sleep around but Nick broke up with her 'cause he already started to have feelings for Andy. And about Chris; I think he's a very sweet character who likes to take care of everybody. He's no city boy, he likes to help people and is a great friend. So that's why I picked him as a brotherly-figure. Nothing more than that.
Of course, Traci is Andy's best female friend and also Dov is a great friend for Andy.

I kept this chapter a little short. –Sorry-
This week I'm really busy, but because of your amazing reactions I just wanted to add this little chapter. Next one will be longer, I promise, but you have to wait for that.

Still your input is very welcome in this story; I love to hear any ideas and your honest thoughts about it.

AT OLIVER'S CABIN -

'Andy? Andy is coming over?' Oliver was the first one who spoke. He remembered the earlier conversation with Sam today. He admitted he missed her. That he was thinking of a life with her. Kids, parks on Sundays.. He smiled when he thought about that. He always thought they were great together. He understood Sam had it rough when Jerry passed away but to take it out on Andy like that.. Then she left and Sam began dating Marlo. He shook his head. No. Sam was lying to himself and Oliver knew it all along. He wasn't over Andy and in his head he was cheering for Andy when Sam told him he misses her. He didn't know if she still felt the same about Sam, they didn't ride together as often as before so opportunity to talk about it with her never knocked on the door, but he hoped she still did.

Chris nodded and looked at Sam. 'She doesn't know you're here though. I just told her that Dov and I are at Oliver's cabin. I would have gone to her but..' he pointed at his empty beer bottle. 'I already got a couple of these, so.. I can't. And besides that, we only have Oliver's car here. I wouldn't dare to ask.' He grinned and shook his head. 'So I told her how she could get her and if she maybe could bring some stuff. Of course she agreed right away. 'Cause that's who she is. Always helping others.' He looked back at his empty bottle and started scratching the label off. Didn't know what to say any further.

'Did she say anything about what's going on?' Dov asked and looked at Chris. Chris hesitated, pulled his shoulders up and down. 'Just a little. I'll hear more when she gets here. Or not. Depends on her. Could be she just wants to hang out to forget about things. Like we always do when we're together.'

Dov nodded. He, Chris, Andy and Gail spent many nights around Chris and Dov's condo to catch up, play some video games and watching movies. Sometimes they talked about what's been going on lately, but most of the time they had fun together. No questions asked, but comfort each other by having lots of fun. They tried to do it at least once every 2/3 weeks, but it has been a while.

Of course Andy would hang out with Traci too, but she was too busy working as a detective nowadays and also Leo asked a lot of her time. Dov knew Andy and Traci didn't hang out very often anymore. And when they did, she didn't want to be the person who comes along to talk about problems. No, they went out and had fun. Just like with Dov and Chris, but they see each other more often so she doesn't feel so bad when she wants to talk about something once in a while.

Sam just sat there and stared in front of him. He thought about Andy. What could she be upset about?, he wondered. He knew he couldn't go talk to her anymore about what's bothering her, he didn't have that right anymore and it would only hurt him by seeing her hurt. His mind wandered back to that moment of their break-up..

He never forgave himself for it. What was he even thinking, leaving her alone at the parking lot standing in the rain like that. He remembered he looked back at her while he was in his car when he saw her broke down. Crying and standing alone.

It took him weeks and a frickin' grenade to realize he loved her. Didn't want to let her go and wanted another chance. The first few days when she was gone he was pretty mad at her. To run away like that.. but later he heard from Traci she'd already ask Luke to give her an undercover job. So, when he asked her after their talk and only giving her five minutes to decide.. yes, he did understand. And she did a great job undercover. He shook the memories off, didn't want to think about it anymore.

'Hey, wait a second..' Oliver looked up, narrowing his eyes in a thought. 'How is she gonna get here?' He asked curiously.

'Oh, you didn't hear yet? She finally bought a car. She could pick it up after shift.' Chris answered.

'Glad she did. She was always walking to the Penny or home. Sometimes she borrowed a car from her friends but.. I never liked the idea of her alone in the streets late at night.' Sam nodded and Oliver and Dov agreed. 'Good for her. What kind?' Oliver asked.

'Volvo V40. Nice ride.' Chris answered. 'Wow. That's indeed a nice car.' Sam's eyebrows raised up and he nodded, he was impressed. And a little jealous. He wanted to own a nice car like that too, but Andy saved the money for a long time, and now when she finally made the decision to buy a car, -against all odds-, she didn't hold back with picking one.

'So Chris, it's been a few weeks now.. how's it to be back in the big city?' Oliver spoke up to change the subject.

BACK AT THE 15 DIVISION—

After she called Chris, she went back to the station to get out of her uniform and headed to Luke's office. He was sitting behind his desk, browsing through some files and writing down some notes. When he stood up he didn't even notice Andy standing in the doorway. He put some new photos at his markboard and looked up when he heard someone clearing it's throat. 'Oh hey Andy, what's up?'

'Hey uh..' her shoulder leaning to the door opening, her arms folded. 'Could you use somebody for a undercover job?' she asked.

Luke looked surprised. 'Andy you're only a few months back. Sure, you did a hell of a job but don't you think it's a little too soon?'

Andy shook her head. She needed to get away from here. First, the thought of just quitting the job, moving somewhere else and start over crossed her mind. But she couldn't think of something she could do that would fit her. That she would actually like. So maybe another undercover job was the right way to go. She messed things up here, didn't get anything right and undercover was something she was actually good at. 'I want in. In whatever you got, no matter how long it will be or how dangerous the job is.' She spoke with a determined voice. 'You know I'm good.'

Luke looked at her for a moment. He heard some rumors in the division and saw some things too. Whatever was going on, Andy wanted to get outta here and yes, she was great at the job. He nodded after a short silence and spoke up. 'Well… now you're bringing it up.. I think you might be the one for a job. It's very dangerous though and a lot longer than those 6 months you did last time..'

'Done. I'll take it. ' She didn't hesitate. Didn't have second thoughts. 'When do I start?'

'I'll have to make some arrangements and then you're good to go. Count on..' he rubbed his head a little and was thinking. 'A day or 2. 3 at the most. I'll contact you soon with more details alright?' Andy nodded and just left the room. No time to think over it. Walking to her new car, she thought of the things she would bring along to Oliver's cabin, so she first stopped by her condo to get a quick shower, change her clothes and in her bag she took some dvd's and card games with her.

'Hey Boo, you coming?' she called out to her dog. Boo immediately reacted with a bark and chased after her. She got Boo the last day the was undercover, while driving in the car with Frank and Nick back to the station she made the phone call.

While she was undercover, she thought about a lot of things. And the last conversation she had with Sam, was one of them. 'Let's get a dog. And call him Boo..' she replayed the scene over and over again. The undercover job was hard, dangerous and she really had trouble sleeping. And when she woke up from a nightmare again, she talked to Nick about guard dogs. That she didn't want to be alone when she'd be back home. He agreed with her, told her about his dogs he had in the past. Told her they're great in every way he could possibly think of. 'Whenever you feel bad, dogs always cheer you up. ' He told her. And he actually knew a very good breeder.

It would be good for her dad too. When she'd have long shifts, she'd take the dog to him so he could take care for it. For walking, but also to keep him company.

So she didn't hesitate one second while driving back to the station, made the call and she was told she could pick him up the very next day. He was only a pup then. She wanted Sam to know she still loved him, still wanted that drink he promised her before she left for the job, but when she saw Marlo and Sam together.. she kicked the whole get a dog idea out of her head at first, but even back in her own bed, her own place, which should feel safe.. she got another nightmare.

The next morning she called her dad and they went to see the dog breeder. Andy was sold the moment she saw the little white-brown puppy. She picked him up, looked into his sweet, big Border Collie eyes and said 'Boo..' She grinned. 'Yes, I'll call you Boo and you're gonna come home with me.'

She had never talked about him with anybody at work, except for Nick when he asked her if she got the dog.

Every night when she had a nightmare Boo laid down next to her and every morning he greeted her a good morning. They became really good friends and she was glad she decided to take him. She loved Boo and could cuddle all night long with him on the couch after a rough shift.

Andy smiled when she thought about how she got him and how they bonded the last couple of months. Boo looked curiously at her while she stood in the hallway. 'Are you up for a ride buddy? Walk around in the woods and see some friends? Be nice to them, they don't know I got you.'

Boo responded with a happy bark and moved his tails around.

'Let's go then'.

When Chris told her how to ride to the cabin, she remembered there was a Italian restaurant near, so she could grab some pizza's and beers over there. She smiled. Perhaps this would be the last night she would hang out with her friends, so she'd better make the best of it, she thought when she started her car and drove away with Boo sitting next to her in the passenger's seat.

- So, don't be too harsh on Andy for wanting to walk away again. Missing two of her friends (but having to work together, awkward), another very busy friend 'cause of work and child, and the love of her life being in a relationship with someone else (who she also needs to work together with) … it's rough. If that's what you should be going through every day at work, you'd eventually go to work with a pain in your stomach too. First it was her home, her family.. but now? Ugh. Poor Andy. Let's see next time what will happen when she arrives at the cabin, shall we?
