Chapter 2

It had been a week since i had been of duty, today was finally the day to go back to work on deck duty of course i tried to get Frank to let me come back early because i was going insane at home but he wouldn't let me he told me that he would put Sam on a week's leave if i stopped calling him all the time asking him if i could come back.

Sam wasn't that happy when he came back to the barn and found out that Frank was putting him on leave, I had been staying with him while i was 'Recovering' and when he came home there where a lot of door slamming, i think i counted 2 slammed doors from him and 1 from me but mine was me being a smart ass

"MCNALLY!" Sam yelled coming through the front door slamming it behind him.

I was outside laying by the pool, i stayed there knowing he was pissed

"MCNALLY!" i heard him moving up the stairs .

"GOD DAMMIT MCNALLY" you could hear the worry in his voice

"Out here" i yelled as loud as i could feeling pain in my ribs. As he came out i put down my ipod acting like i hadn't heard him calling me

"What the hell Andy i came back to the barn today and Frank call's me into his office telling me i'm on forced leave until YOU go back to the work?"

"I'm sorry?" i felt bad as much as i missed him and wanted him around i knew what his job meant to him and how much he loved being there a week of would drive him insane even being there with me.

"Your sorry really, you crazy Mcnally" he turned walking up the stairs to his room slamming the door behind.

I stood up moving up the stairs behind him he started stripping his clothe's of getting in the shower

"I didn't ask him to do that Sam, don't you think if i really wanted you here all day with me i would have just asked you, i missed you Sam i missed you so much and i wish that i could spend all day every day with you just so i can make up for the lost time but i can't because i know what your job mean's to you and i know you love getting up and going to work every day and i wouldn't ask you to give it up for me" i sighed "Just go to work Sam i'm fine here you keep sending people here any way they can keep me company. Now piss of and go for a shower, dinner while be ready in 20" i turned slamming the door behind me

"Hey!" he yelled laughing

"Not the only one that can slam door's" i smiled as i walked away

Our fighting is really stupid but we always end up laughing.

Finally going back to work was great, and getting to see Sam all day was even better he was on desk duty today with me not that he was happy about that.

3 months later

Dov and i where partnered up today we had just got back in the car from lunch when a call came through

"1519 we have a call from a neighbor at 24 Barn's street calling about a domestic disturbance, couple have been yelling at each other for an hour now neighbor heard the women scream"

"1519 where on our way 2 minute's out" i flipped the light's on moving down the street's.

As we got out of the car we heard the women scream

"1519 where going in" be both jumped running to the door pulling out our guns and kicking the door open

"Police freeze" we seen one of the older guys turn around knocking down one of the kids she looked 14 maybe 15, i seen a two other kids cowering in the corner "Dove get the kids i got this" i holstered my gun pulling out my friend that i call my waking stick

"I said freeze" i smacked him in the back of the leg knocking him down i rolled over onto his stomach i didn't see him coming but i felt it his elbow came up smacking me straight in the face i felt the blood start dripping down my face "Son of a bitch," i moved putting me knee between his shoulder blades "your under arrest for the assault of an officer" i cuffed him not being gentle.

i got up dragging him out to the car Dov grabbed him as i made it out of the door seeing the blood on my face

"You alright Andy?" i nodded moving to the boot of the car grabbing the first aid kit

"I called social service's they can't get here for another hour there's some big thing happening for the all the kids in child care"

"Call for abulance i'll go the wife and kids to the hospital when they get here get them checked out"

"You might want to get your nose checked out while you there it may be broken" i shook my head

"It's not broken i would know if it was"

Dov called for the ambulance and they arrived quickly on scene along with a few other cop's. Sam being one of those cop's he had gone back to being a street cop a week ago said it didn't feel right being a detective he was better on the street's

Sam got out looking at me in the back of the ambulance seeing the blood on my shirt, he hit the car scaring the guy sitting inside

"What happened" i explained what happened once i was finished we all decided Sam and Gail would take the guy back to the station for booking while Dov talk me to the hospital to get a statement while they got checked out.

After we got there and we got checked out i was fine like i had told any one my nose was bleeding cause it was hit i just have a small bruise forming on the side of my cheek

A few hours later i was sitting in the room talking to the kids and mother about the guy who i found out name is Edward

"Yes" the daughter said at the same time the mother said 'No'

"Mum stop hiding from this" the girl turned to me "I'm Melody and yes he has done this before, at first he would the wall's then it moved mum and then he started hitting us, it got bad when he lost his job a month ago he would yell if we did the smallest things, even if i stubbed my toe he would smack me around" i looked at the young girl she looked so strong

"Okay well at the moment he will be stay in custody over night for an assault of a cop so he will be charging him with that. You can go home when your ready and someone will be there later on today to help you out they can help you get away from him if that is what you want" i looked straight at the mother

"It is my kids are more important" i nodded smiling at her with a wince. Sometime's being a cop really hurt.

"Good to hear they have home's that you can stay at till you can get on your feet or if you have family you can stay with they can help you with that" nodding she smiled

"Thank you Officer Mcnally" i smiled standing up

"Please call me Andy" i waved saying bye to everyone as i was leaving with Dov i heard my name being called i spun around seeing Melody standing there "Hi' she handed me a peace of paper

"Don't read it till you get back to the station okay" i nodded looking at her confused.

Once i got back to the barn i seen Sam and he looked pissed i seen the reflection in the glass of one of the window's seeing how bad the bruise was. I shrugged it of and walked into the locker room getting changed as i was walking out Dov walked over to me

"Hey Andy did you end up reading that letter the girl gave you what did it say?"

"Oh i didn't i forgot" i went into my pocket pulling it out

I felt tears running down my face "Andy what's wrong what does it say" i pushed the note into his chest I turned around seeing Sam standing there

"Mcnally what's wrong?" i felt anger build inside me i kicked the closeted thing to me which was one of the desk's it slid half way across the room i felt Sam's hand grab me but i flinched away "Epstein what did you do?"

"Fuckin low life" i grabbed the letter out of his hands putting it in my pocket

"You think Frank will fire me if i kill him" i asked Dov

"Why would you kill him Mcnally?" I looked at Sam knowing what was running through his what would make me so mad to wan't to kill him "Give me the letter" he growled through his clenched teeth but i shock my head "That's and order Mcnally" i shook my head again

"No" he moved towards me trying to grab the letter out of my pocket "Sam stop!" he pushed me against the closet table like i was a suspect reaching into my pocket

"I'm sorry" He said when he pulled away as he read the letter

I knew this letter would hit close to home with him it's why i didn't want him to read it

"Sammy brother you okay?" I looked seeing Ollie walk through the Sally port "Mcnally you okay that doesn't look that good" i smiled

"You should see the other guy" i gave him a half smile

"You gonna tell me what's really going on?" He asked looking between the 3 of us "Spill it Epstein"

"Oh hell i'm gonna kill him" i spun around heading to the cells i could hear people yelling behind me and i felt an arm grab me but i shook it of.

When i got to the cell i smacked it really hard making him jump from the bed

"You sick son of a bitch, She's a little girl she's your little girl and you-" i couldn't even say it

"Andy right?" i cringed when he said my name

"Yeah Andy Mcnally, you should do good to remember my name i will haunt your dreams ass hole, no deserves what you did" he slowly stood up smiling as he walked towards me.

"You know Andy Mcnally" i glared at him as he was right in front of me "I know your hiding them, but i'll find them i always find them, this isn't the first time. But you will be the first person i come after if i can't find my family" he whispered the last part.

"Andy let's go" I felt Sam's arm wrap around my waist pulling me out the door i felt anger coming of his body

"He can't get away with it Sam she's a little girl that get's violated by her father! on a regular basses"

"I know that but we have to stay calm, i'm fuckin pissed for what he did to you and what he's doing to that little girl but both of us killing him wan't end up getting justice for her" i nodded heading towards the car

Sam and i headed back to his place not saying a word. I had been staying with him since i got back

It was quite walking into the house i made dinner and set it on the table the only words that we said where 'thank's' and 'dinner is ready' and when he told me he was going for a shower and then going to be.

I nodded as he went up stairs, i decided not to go to bed yet so i sat down on the couch grabbing a book i seen it was A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks

I sat there not looking at the time by the time i had finished the book i realized what time it was it was 5 in the morning i wiped away the tears from my eyes, the book was really sad i don't cry often but that book made me want to cry

"Shit" i stood up moving and cringing when i couldn't feel my leg's i put the book down slowly moving upstairs as i walked into the room i seen Sam laying there with my pillow pulled close to his chest. I pulled my clothes of grabbing one of his shirts throwing it on. I got into bed putting my hand on his face rubbing his cheek

"Sam" i whispered "Sam" i said a little louder but he didn't wake, i smiled not wanting to wake him he had to have been tired, today well yesterday was hard for him i know that, it had to have brought bad memories back of Sara.

I didn't want to wake him so i got up grabbing the blanket of the end of the bed and going back down stairs i curled up into a ball and stared to fade into a slumber

HELP!

The Boogeyman comes late at night.
So stay under the covers, tuck them in tight.
Close your eyes, pretend to sleep,
Even though you hear him creep.
If your eyes stay shut very tight,
You can make it through the night.
Just let him play his twisted games,
In time my child he'll go away.
Breathe deep and even, don't say a word.
Keep your calm little girl.
After he leaves tuck the covers back in,
Put it out of your mind, forget about him.
Go to sleep proud you did not scream,
Tell yourself it was just a bad dream.
Wake up and wash with water that scalds.
Keep your secrets, build your walls.
Sit down to breakfast, take your place.
After all you never saw his face.
Remind yourself it was just a fable,
And that's not him at the head of the table.

Help me Help us!

I gasped sitting out in a cold sweat "Poor little girl" i whispered

I knew i wasn't going to sleep even though i was so tired so i got up heading for a shower but changed my mind at the last minute and had a bath, i hadn't realized how long i was in there until i heard Sam's alarm go of and him coming going to the toilet he jumped shocked when he seen me in the bath.

"Hey" he looked at me sympathetic

"Morning"i slowly stood up from the bath laughing when his eyes racked over my body i seen his boxes tighten a little "See something you like" i giggled when he nodded his smile faded when i wrapped my towel around me "How did you sleep" i stepped forward kissing him lightly

"Okay i guess, why are you up so early?"

I shrugged "Never went to sleep" he pulled me close looking at me concerned "I wan't tired and i knew you needed space so i read a book, when i finally put it down it was just after 5 i came up to get a little sleep but you had my pillow i tried to wake you but i decided to let you sleep, i tried to sleep a little down stairs had a bad dream came up for a bath and then i seen this really sexy man walk in" he smiled pulling me tighter to him

"Where is he i'll kick his ass for walking in on you naked" i smiled kissing his lip lightly

"Have a shower i'll go down stairs make us some breakfast before we have to leave"

"Okay" as i turned to leave Sam spoke up "Andy" i spun around smiling at him "I was thinking Sara keep's asking when she's going to meet the girl that tackled me and blow my cover" i cringed at the memory

"Never gonna let that go are you" i smiled when he shook his head

"Nope" he popped the P "Any way i was think after work today we head up to her's for a few day's take a long weekend?" I smiled stepping close to him

"Yeah sounds good i can't wait to meet the women that can kick your ass and get away with it"

"Go make me some food McNally we have a long day ahead of us"

Once the day we knew it wasn't going to start out good, i spoke with Frank early before Prade about the letter i got from the little girl yesterday he told me that she would have to come in and make a complainant and they could follow it up and charge him i also told him about the threat and he was being charged with threatening and Officer.

Sam and i also told him about the few days we were taking of i had told him i hadn't slept one bit last night so he ended up telling me to do what was needed for the little girl then go home.

We had finished by 6 later that afternoon we told everyone we where leaving and left, we had packed our bags early that morning so we just left heading straight to Sara's Sam had called her at lunch and made sure it was okay, she was excited and took the next few days of work her self so she could hang out with us.

Once we were in the car i laid my head down on Sam's legs going to sleep it felt good sleeping.

We had arrested 'Edward' for rape and assault of a minor. The look he gave me when we arrested him had scared me until i realized he can't hurt me.

I woke up when i felt Sam wrap his arms around me i looked around seeing that we were at a house this must have been Sara's

"Sam" i whispered "Put me down let me meet your sister" he smiled putting me down

"She will love you" he whispered as we walked inside.

I seen her come around the corner and i froze so did she

"Sara i want you to meet my girl friend-"

"Andera McNally" Sam looked at her shocked

we both quickly moved hugging each other

"You know each other?" Sam asked

"Yeah!"
