Disclaimer: I don't own Rookie Blue.

A.N. Sorry that this took so long to update. (And for those of you on story alert, I'm sorry if you get a bunch of emails but for some reason, fanfiction has been deleting some of my sentences so I kept revising after seeing the live preview - sorry!).

Have a happy new year!

Enjoy!


Traci Nash was working at the desk. She loved how Jerry made sure that she was accommodated. He had been really understanding when she tried to work things out with Dex and he had been there for her with open arms when Dex bailed. They were now a couple. She still mostly worked the desk but he made sure that she went on patrol at least once a week and that he was available that day to pick up Leo if something held her up at work when her mom needed to leave.

Her phone rang, bringing her a much needed distraction. She answered without checking to see who called. "Nash".

"Trace…"

Her maternal instinct kicked into high gear. "What's wrong Dov?" she asked, successfully keeping the fear out of her voice.

"Have you spoken to Andy lately?"

Traci frowned. She tried to remember when she had last spoken to Andy. "She reported almost an hour ago."

"And you haven't heard from her since? She didn't call your cell?"

Traci turned to Gail, who was on desk with her and mouthed "have you heard from Andy?" Gail shook her head so Traci said "Dov, whatever's going on, spit it out."

"Andy decided we should do a walk around."

"So?" She didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"I took the upper level and she took the lower level. She should have been back ten minutes ago. I gave her a few more minutes. She's not answering her phone or the radio."

Traci suddenly had a bad feeling. "Dov, get out of there now."

"But Andy…"

She cut him off. "Now Dov! Go to the squad car and wait. I'm going to tell Jerry." She hung up the phone.

Jerry was not at his desk but she spotted him sitting with Oliver Shaw in Best's office going through papers. She headed to Best's office, knocked and opened the door. "Detective Barber, Andy's not answering her cell phone."

Jerry glanced up at her for a second before going back to the papers at the desk. "Look Trace, if you two had one of your little spats, I'm not getting involved. You'll deal with whatever issue you two are having when she gets back from surveillance."

The look Traci shot Jerry left Oliver thinking if looks could kill, Jerry would be dead.

Traci took a deep breath and turned to go. "Fine. But when Officer Swarek wants to know why his girlfriend is missing and no one is doing anything about it, I'll be sure to let him know that you were informed."

Both Jerry and Oliver looked up, startled, but before either of them could say anything, someone behind Traci said "Andy's missing? Where was she supposed to be today?"

Traci turned. "Luke." He and Andy had broken up a while ago and remained friendly.

"Where was Andy supposed to be today?" He would not be deterred. As much as he and Andy were no longer a couple, he still cared about her well-being. The truth was, he cared about Andy as a sibling and he knew that she felt the same way since neither one of them had siblings.

Jerry looked up. "The warehouse."

No one was expecting Luke's reaction. "Did you not listen to a word Frank said before he left for headquarters? He specifically told you that Andy should be nowhere near the warehouse. We've been watching that place for over a week now. Frank's been alternating everyone because right now it is turning out to be a really boring job but Andy's never gone." He was fuming.

Traci looked from Luke to Jerry and back. "What's so significant about the warehouse?"

Luke sighed and entered the room, motioning for Traci to come in and take a seat. When the door swung shut, he rubbed a hand over his eyes, suddenly exhausted, knowing very well how the day could turn out. "Right before Tommy McNally retired from the force; he was the lead investigator in three separate cases. I found out after the whole Calisiak debacle that he was drinking and messed up all three of the cases.

"All three of the men should have been given life, but instead, they were given a few years.

"You know what happened to Calisiak. The second guy was killed in a brawl in jail; it was a mess, SRU and everything. The third guy was a man named Derek Readago. At the end of his trial, he swore that when he got out, Tommy McNally was going to pay for putting him in jail.

"When Readago was released three weeks ago, Headquarters got a call from the warden, saying that while going through the papers Readago left in his cell, he found the names Tommy and Andy McNally written over and over again. Headquarters contacted me since I am on homicide and Andy works at 15th."

At this point, Jerry interrupted Luke. "What does this have to do with anything?"

Luke glared at him. "Last week, a twenty year old girl went missing from college. The trail follows Readago's M.O. The warehouse was one of his haunts last time around. There is a twenty-four hour surveillance just in case. One of the other divisions is doing surveillance on his other two haunts since it is in their district. When this started, I went to Frank with the information I have about Readago and I warned Andy so she would know of the danger. I'm assuming she told Sam."

Traci sucked in her breath. "So what happens if he got past surveillance and is in the building?"

Luke looked grim. "Andy's in trouble." He pulled out his cell phone and moved to the desk. He dialed a number and turned the phone on speaker.

The person on the other end picked up after three rings. "This better be good Jerry." The voice growled.


A.N. Let me know what you think - your reviews are really helpful.

Part of the next chapter is written but I am taking a winter session college class so I don't know when I am going to be able to update next but I'm trying to finish the next chapter before the class starts.
