Chapter 2:
Andy was aware of the tension between Sam and Nick so she was grateful neither of them would end up in a car together, or so she thought, she cursed under her breath when Oliver asked Nick to drive with Sam and Peck to check on a missing's person report.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Andy found Nick outside the locker room just as he was about to leave. He smiled at her. "I know things weren't really clear when we...at the hospital so.."
"Andy," Nick said calmly. "You made yourself pretty clear when you chose to... When you chose Swarek." Andy bit her lip. She really didn't know what to say, she loved Nick, she really did, but her connection to Sam was... Well, she was pretty sure they'd be stubborn together until the end of time, she just didn't want to make this harder for Nick, he'd already dealt with Gail and whatever their relationship had been.
"Nick.."
"It's fine, really. I know you weren't really over him, even though he had Marlo." Just as she was about to answer, she found herself face to face with Sam.
"Collins. You ready to go?"
"Yes sir." Nick shot Andy a glance and moved away. Sam caught the look in her eyes, touching her shoulder softly.
"Everything okay?" She saw worry in his eyes, as well as, a glint of jealously.
"Yeah sure, I'm just...I'm worried about the whole Duncan thing.."
"McNally." He turned to face her completely. "I've told you. You listened to your gut, and you were right, it's your job to make sure your rookies learn to do it on their own, the kid wasn't just cut out for it, that's all." He touched her a softly."let it go Andy."
"I'm not sure I can." She admitted. Sam knew she felt hurt, not because of Duncan but because of what she meant for her, as a person and training officer.
"You want me to what?" Oliver asked.
"Find her a rookie." Sam stated. "Don't we have new meat?"
"Sam, she's got a lot on her plate as it is." Oliver let out a sharp breath. "You got to let this handle itself out."
"She's a mess Ollie. She can't believe she failed. Not even if it wasn't her fault. She was the right person for the job, I should know because I trained her." Oliver was way over his head with this, he loved Andy more than this job, he was cut out to be out there with his guys, instead of doing bureaucratic crap and dealing with the inspector's eye.
"Tell you what? I'll give her some days off to clear her head." Sam huffed. "I know she'll say no, but it's all I can give her while all of this blows over."
"She won't like it."
"No, but she'll have you to tell her she's got no choice." Sam rolled his eyes.
"Where are you going so early?" Nick asked as he found Andy packing up.
"Oliver sent me home for a few days." Andy said tiredly. "Apparently he doesn't want me near Duncan, and he knows I'll try and talk to him." She gave him a grim smile.
"Are you?" Nick asked. "I mean you are not one to let go Andy, I'm sure Oliver is just trying to protect you."
"From myself?"
There was a long silence. "So about this morning, I'm sorry... I... It's just hard for me to, I don't know, accept defeat?" His smile was there even though it was sad. "I just don't want you to, end up getting hurt."
"Collins! Let's go! Oliver needs us in patrol!" Dov called.
"I'll see you later." Nick told Andy as he walked away.
"You heading home?" Sam found her a moment later. "I have to stay and help Oliver, apparently we have a... Situation."
Andy frowned. "You are going home McNally."
"I.."
"Take my truck, I'll call you when I'm done here." He must really want her away if he's offering the truck. She got a hold of the keys.
"Sam, what are you not telling me?"
"Swarek!" A harsh voice said behind him.
"Go Andy," he pleaded kissing her cheek. "I'll see you later."
So we all think Nick is too calm about Sam right? Well soon enough things will change, and we will see Sarah soon enough.
Thank you so much for supporting this guys! And who's excited for Monday? And McSwarek! I am!
