Thank you for all the reviews/follows/favs, so was not expecting that many for the forst chapter...let's see if it can happen again, enjoy.
It was now Saturday evening and Andy threw herself down on her chair with a huff, she was supposed to be off an hour ago but here she was still sitting at her desk-the Kempton killer had striked again. A nineteen year old girl by the name of Laura Casey was found by the bins on the university grounds, she Jerry and Traci had been here all night and still counting.
"Here," Jerry said handing her a coffee "you need this more than I do."
"Thanks," she said and took it from him "I don't get why he's cutting their ties after they're dead," she said looking at photos of the five girls "the m-o on the last two girls have changed why do you think that is?" she asked.
"You never know what goes on in a crazy persons mind," Jerry said leaning over her " he might be trying to throw us off the scent or it could be a copycat…I've sent Traci home for a few hours sleep why don't; you do the same," he suggested.
"No," Andy sighed "we might get new information soon, I'm gonna go walk the scene again we're missing something," she said and looked over at the clock "I'll have to cancel that coffee date."
Jerry chuckled "with JD?" he asked.
Andy nodded "Traci fill you in?"
"No," he chuckled "I got up to go to the bathroom last night and I heard you on the phone."
"Oh…were you there long?" she asked biting on her lip.
Jerry chuckled again "I didn't stand outside your door with a glass pressed up to it if that's what you're thinking, I walked by that was it…don't cancel-go, then get some sleep," he added.
Andy nodded "you know what real coffee might wake me up a bit," she chuckled and stood up "I'll come back after it and we can go back to the scene together-with Traci that is."
"Go home after it that's what I'll be doing when Traci gets back we all need sleep!" he called after her.
"Can't wide awake!" she called back and waved over her shoulder.
As she got into her car she pulled out her phone as it beeped with a message, she opened it and smiled we still on? Haven't heard from you all day.
She chuckled and replied been busy on my way before throwing her phone on the seat and pulling away.
She smiled as she stopped at lights when her phone beeped again but this time it wasn't JD it was Dean need to see you asap have info on your case. She sighed and threw her phone down and turned towards twenty-seven.
When she arrived she went straight to his desk "what have you got?" she asked.
"Guy came in here and said he stopped a guy from taking a girl off the street, she had her hands tied with white plastic ties," Dean replied.
Andy nodded "okay, where?"
"Outside Kempton."
Andy nodded again "and where is the girl?"
"The guy said she got freaked and ran off into the grounds."
"Right, get him transferred to fifteen and I'll talk to him there," she said walking away.
"Can't you take him with you now?" Dean called after her.
"No!" she called back "not heading the station I just left I'll call Jerry!" she said and went down the stairs.
…..
Sam sat waiting on Andy he was so tired a glitch had come up in his case and they couldn't move the day he found the bank account-but that glitch had been taking care of and now they were ready to move tonight. He looked up when she dropped down beside him "hey," he smiled forgetting what was happening tonight.
"Hey," she replied and pulled off her coat "sorry I'm late my brother needed to see me so I stopped there on the way over."
"It's okay I just got here myself-I ordered you a coffee," he replied.
"Thanks," she smiled "so any plans tonight?" she asked as her coffee was placed in front of her.
Sam nodded "big plans actually," he chuckled.
"Lucky you," she groaned "I have to get back to work after this, been there all night and still nothings changed."
Sam frowned what the hell did she do? "So what exactly is your job?" he asked.
"Oh just…" she trailed off as her phone beeped "sorry," she said and picked it up sighing at the message Jerry had sent this guy is the real deal, sorry end that date and get back here…you can make it up to him on me.' She replied and looked over at him "I'm really really sorry I have to get back to work can we do this again tomorrow?"
"Actually I'm heading away for a while tomorrow," he replied. After every under job he'd go lay low in his sisters and spend some time with them.
"Oh," Andy said a little disappointed "okay well if you're free when I'm finished later we could do a late one…or I'll just talk to you when you get back," she said and stood up "I'm sorry this is just really important."
Sam stood up he didn't know what way things would go tonight "call me when you're done and I'll let you know if I can get away," he said and kissed her on the cheek "if not I'll defiantly call you before I leave."
Andy nodded and walked to the door "well have fun wherever you're going," she smiled.
"I'm going to visit my sister for a few weeks…let me drive you back to your job," he said nodding to his car.
"It's fine," Andy replied "I have my own car with me," she said nodding to it.
"Right," he nodded looking over at it, he frowned it looked like a standard police issued vehicle "nice car," he added.
"Sorta a company car," she said and walked to it "I better get going before the phone starts again," she giggled and pulled the door open "bye," she smiled and went to climb in.
"Hey," Sam said pulling her back "I really wanna see you again so don't think I'm brushing you off I've just got a lot on at the moment."
Andy nodded, thinking for a moment she leaned in closer and kissed him "I don't think that," she said when she pulled back "I've a lot on too…bad timing I guess."
"Bad timing," Sam repeated and pulled her to him "I better let you go," he said and kissed her again.
Andy climbed into her car "I'll call you and see if you're around later."
Sam nodded "make sure you do…bye," he said and closed her door.
Andy waved as she pulled away "stupid Jerry," she muttered as she turned the corner.
Sam waved and sighed as the car turned a corner "stupid Brennan," he said and walked to his own car, this was happening tonight with or without Boyd's go ahead.
Andy arrived at the station and walked to the D's office "has he said much?" she asked startling Jerry.
Jerry turned to face her "he was able to describe the guy and the van."
Andy nodded and took the file he held out "did this guy say anything to him-would he recognise his voice if he heard it again?"
"No," Jerry shook his head "he said as soon as he started yelling to let her go he shoved the girl away and took off."
"At least we have a lead to go on I'll call the dmv and see if I can match a plate…where's Trac?" she asked.
"She's in with Mr Bowden now he really wants to go home but I asked her to hold him until you got here in case you had any of your own questions."
"I do," Andy nodded "thanks I'll go do that first then he can go home," she said and walked back to the door.
"Sorry for ruining your date!" Jerry called after her with a chuckle.
"Oh it's okay," she chuckled "next ones on you," she smiled back at him and made her way for the interview room.
Letting herself in she smiled at Traci and sat beside her "Mr Bowden I'm Detective McNally, I just have a few more questions, I won't keep you long."
"Okay," he nodded "but I'm not sure there's much more I can say that I haven't told the other detectives already."
Andy opened her file "it says here you saw him trying to pull a girl into the van," he nodded "did it seem to you the girl knew the guy in the van?"
Mr Bowden frowned "I walked by a minute or two before she started screaming-I forgot my phone," he added "I live next door to the campus grounds. When I walked back the second time she was laughing, so yes I think she did know him."
Andy nodded and scribbled it down "and it was what? A few seconds after you walked by he grabbed her?"
"Yes," he nodded "I heard her screaming what the hell do you think you're doing and she was struggling with him so I ran back and started yelling to let her go."
Andy nodded again "if you saw him again could you point him out?"
"Defiantly," he nodded.
"Okay that's great and thank you for coming in you've been so helpful," Andy said and stood up "I'll get you a ride home."
"That's okay I work a block away."
Andy nodded and opened the door "you can go thanks you may just have closed this case," she smiled.
Mr Bowden nodded "lets hope you catch him," he said and walked by them.
Andy turned back to Traci "I'm gonna go through the college database for anyone matching this girls description, can you call the dmv and get a plate to match the one we have?"
Traci nodded "yeah I'll get onto them now…did you make your date?" she asked as they walked back to the D's office.
Andy nodded "just sat down when Jerry text me."
Traci chuckled "what did you tell him?" she asked knowing Andy never told anyone new she was a cop.
"Just that I had to get back it was very important," she shrugged and walked to her desk "if we wrap this up tonight I might get to meet up with him before he goes away."
"He's going away?" Traci asked sitting at her own desk.
"Yeah," Andy sighed "he's going to visit his sister."
"Right," Traci said picking up her phone "let's wrap this up then."
"Agreed," Andy chuckled and logged on to her computer.
….
Over at the warehouse Sam stood by his forklift playing with his phone watching Brennan do a deal not too far away "money exchanging hands," he said into his mic.
"Say the word Sammy," Boyd replied.
Sam watched as the buyer shook hands with Brennan and started to walk back to his car "takedown," he said.
Two seconds later there was cops busting in everywhere yelling, Sam help up his hands and looked over at Brennan who was shaking his head and looked over at his buyer friend "you set me up?" he yelled.
"No you set me up!" the guy hissed as they were cuffed.
Boyd walked to Sam "hands behind your back," he said and pulled out cuffs
"I did nothing man!" he yelled getting Brennan's attention as he struggled.
Boyd slammed him against the forklift "I'd calm down if I were you buddy you've a long night ahead of you," he said and shoved him at two officers "put him in my car I want them all kept separate!" he yelled as they walked to Brennan's office.
Sam chuckled as Brennan winked at him "it'll be okay JD my lawyer will have us out by dawn."
"Counting on it boss!" he called back as he was placed in the car, he groaned as he knew the paperwork came next.
A few hours later he yawned as he stood in the interrogation room watching Brennan been interviewed by Boyd. He looked to the door as it opened and Frank slipped in "boss," he nodded and turned back to the window.
Frank chuckled "that's the first time you've called me that…how you holding up Sam?" he asked.
Sam nodded "good…no kidnap or beating this time," he chuckled
"So you're ready to come back here and take a break?"
"Yeah a permanent break," Sam chuckled.
"You'll have a partner," Frank said smirking.
"What?" Sam groaned and turned back to him "really?" he asked "do I really have to have one?"
"Yes," Frank chuckled "I think you'll like her."
"Her?" Sam asked "she's not some stuck up Barbie doll is she?"
Frank held out a file "see for yourself and no she's not, she's brave hard working, always gets the results she wants, she's determined and bends the rules…like you," he chuckled. "Look her file over she's already gone through yours, I want it back on my desk before you go home," he clapped him on the back "good to have you home buddy."
Sam smiled quickly "good to be home," he said and opened her file "wow," he said after scanning a few pages "she's already a detective?" he said and looked at Frank "how did she get the promotion right after getting cut loose?"
Frank smiled proudly "Burgan and Laundry bust," Sam nodded "she did that all by herself, she took them both down even after the meet blew up in her face."
Sam nodded and looked down again he chuckled at her name "Andy," he said and chuckled again "this chick I gotta meet."
"She's still here on a case if you wanna meet her now-she Jerry and Nash have been on it for two weeks now."
Sam nodded "yeah, let's go see my buddy," he chuckled.
When they got to the D's office Traci was there alone "Nash, where's McNally?" Frank asked.
Traci looked up at him "we got a few matches for the description of the girl so Andy and Jerry went over there."
"Okay…Nash this is Sam Swarek he's just come off and undercover job, he'll be McNally's new partner once he's cleared to come back-Sammy this is Traci Nash," Frank introduced.
"Nice to meet you Sam," Traci said shaking his hand "Jerry's always talking about you."
"Aww did he miss me?" he chuckled "nice to meet you Nash I'll look forward to working with you."
Traci chuckled "you have no idea…they should be back soon if you want to wait," she offered.
Sam looked back and saw Boyd walking towards them "nah, I better get to headquarters and get this debrief out of the way, Nash nice to meet you, be seeing ya real soon, and Frank," he said clapping him on the back "good to see ya buddy see ya in two weeks," he said and walked down the stairs.
Andy and Jerry arrived back with a girl and settled her in an interview room "we found her," Andy smiled happily "Chloe Royce, nineteen, second year student…she tried to deny it all but I saw bruises on her wrist and she burst into tears."
Jerry chuckled "McNally was a pro…Trac can you take her statement?" he asked "she gave us a name turns out the guy goes to Kempton, we're gonna go pay him a little visit."
Traci nodded and stood up "sure-oh Andy," she said turning to her "Frank came by a while ago with your new partner I think he's still here if you wanna go find him."
"Sammy's back?" Jerry asked excitedly.
Traci chuckled "yes Jerry I've meet the famous Sam Swarek."
"What's he like?" Andy asked.
"Yeah he seems nice…very good looking too," she giggled.
"Which means he'll be all cocky-thinking he's gods gift to women," she sighed "do I have to have a new partner?" she groaned.
Jerry chuckled and squeezed her shoulders "he's not cocky at all…not like Callaghan."
"Speaking of Callaghan," Traci said "Deano was here a while back and now the good detective is supporting a black eye and is walking with a limp," she chuckled.
Andy sighed and closed her eyes "god damn it Deano…do you know it was him?"
Traci chuckled "he walked up behind him and took him to the floor, Chris and Dov pulled him off and got him out before Luke could see who it was."
Andy nodded "I'll kill him I told him to leave it."
"If I had known sooner I'd have done the same thing…let's go see Sammy," Jerry said and pulled her away.
When they got to Frank's office Jerry burst in like a kid on Christmas morning "where's Sammy?" he asked seeing Frank alone.
Frank chuckled "you just missed him buddy-left with Boyd five minutes ago."
Andy turned back to walk out "great so we can head back to Kempton now."
"Back?" Frank asked.
"Yeah," Jerry answered "we identified the girl she was freaking out so now we're going back for the guy."
Frank nodded "bring two uniforms."
"We'll be fine Frank the kid is not expecting us," Andy said.
"Doesn't matter," Frank said "he knows sooner or later he's gonna get caught he might have a back up plan."
"Alright we'll take Diaz and Epstein," Jerry said and walked out the door "let's wrap this up McNally!"
When they arrived at the university Andy told Chris and Dov to stand out of view of the door, knocking she and Jerry stepped to the side. When it opened Jerry moved forward "Nathan Burns?" he asked.
"Uh yeah," the guy replied "who are you?"
Andy stepped up beside him "I'm Detective McNally and this is…" she trailed off and jumped forward as Nathan tried to close the door. "Don't make this any harder than it has to be Nathan!" she yelled as she and Jerry pushed the door in.
He ran to the window and picked up a gun "I ain't goin' down yet I'm not finished!" he yelled and shot off before jumping out the window.
"Andy! Down!" Jerry yelled…but it was too late Andy was sent on her back "Damn it!" he yelled and ran to her "Diaz! Epstein! he's gone out the window! He's armed! Get the son of a bitch!"
Andy panted and tried to sit up "I'm fine! I'm fine! Go get him!" she yelled clutching her arm.
Jerry stood up he'd known Andy too long to know she'd just keep at him "keep pressure on it!" I'll call it in!" he yelled as he jumped through the window.
Andy pulled her phone out as it rang "hello?" she panted.
"You okay?" Sam chuckled.
Andy looked down at her bullet wound "yeah, just took a flight of stairs…what can I do for ya?" she asked.
Sam chuckled again "I'm all caught up now how about you?"
Andy walked to the window and saw Chris had him pinned to the ground while Jerry cuffed him "almost…meet me in half an hour?" she asked.
"Half hour it is, see ya then," he said and hung up.
Andy walked down to the cruiser "asshole!" she yelled as they put him in the back and turned to Dov "have you a medic kit in the trunk?"
"You're going to the hospital," Jerry said "you've been shot."
"What!" both Chris and Dov yelled.
"I'm fine it doesn't hurt," she said and grabbed some cleaning pads and a bandage from the kit "you okay to finish this up?" she asked walking back to her car.
"Where are you going?" Jerry asked
"To finish my date," she giggled "oh and you can catch a ride with them…see ya in the morning!" she called and climbed in.
When she arrived at the dinner she dropped into a seat he wasn't here yet "what can I get you love?" the waitress asked.
"Just a coffee for now please," she smiled.
"Got it," the waitress smiled and walked off.
She looked down at her phone as it rang "Dean Thomas McNally you are in so much trouble!" she hissed.
"What did I do?" he asked.
Andy scoffed and smiled as Sam dropped in beside her "you know what you did, didn't I tell you to leave him alone?"
"You did…but I couldn't I'm sorry I don't care if you're mad, I was going to punch his lights out but the wonder twins pulled me off."
"And so they should have…I'll talk to you about this later I mean it I'm gonna kill you," she said and hung up "sorry…hi," she giggled.
"Trouble?" he asked nodding to her phone.
"No," she sighed "my brother being an overprotective idiot is all…how are you?"
"Fine…what he do?" he asked.
"Jumped on the guy that I was out with the other night."
Sam chuckled "nice, he got his come upance then…have you ordered?"
"Just a coffee," she replied "so what did you do tonight?"
"Met up with some old friends," he replied and smiled quickly "and you?" he asked.
"Oh you know, getting shot," she said and clamped her hands over her mouth as Sam's head snapped up.
"What?" he asked.
Andy winced as she pulled her hand down from her face "nothing…forget I said anything."
"Andy are you serious?" he asked moving closer to her "you got shot?"
"Fine," she sighed "yes I got shot but it doesn't hurt and I am fine."
"Where?" he asked "did you go get checked out?" he asked.
"Shoulder and no because I am fine," she said.
Right," Sam stood up "we're going to the hospital," he said and tugged her out of her seat, he threw money down for her coffee and marched her out the door.
"JD I'm fine will you stop," Andy said as he pulled her outside and towards his car.
Sam turned back to her "you got shot the bullet could still be in there."
"It didn't go in it just grazed me," she protested.
"Alright, let me see it then?" he asked.
"No," she said and rubbed her shoulder.
"Andy," he said taking a step closer to her.
Andy sighed "I only met you a few days ago don't start thinking you own me."
Sam chuckled "I don't, I just wanna see how bad it is."
Andy sighed and sat on the car "fine…but I'm not going to the hospital," she said and shrugged her coat off.
Sam leaned in and examined it "who cleaned it out and bandaged it up?"
"I did," she replied.
Sam shone the light on his phone into it "and you missed the bullet lodged in it?" he asked.
"What?" he asked trying to look in.
"The bullet Andy," he said and pulled her off the car "it's stuck right in your shoulder you'll have to get it removed or it will get infected," he said and opened the car door "we're going to the hospital," he said and pushed her in.
….
When they arrived Andy made Sam sit down and walked to the desk "hi," she smiled when the nurse looked up "I'm a detective from fifteen, I've been shot in the shoulder…I didn't know the bullet was in there I thought it was just a grazing," she said and help up her badge. "My friend there doesn't know I'm a cop….fist date," she said and smiled nervously "so when I'm called can you tell him he has to wait here?"
The nurse chuckled "sure thing Detective, take a seat," she said and chuckled again "you know on my first date with a guy the roof collapsed in the restaurant."
"Yeah?" Andy asked.
"Yeah," she nodded "he was a fire-fighter...told me he sold insurance."
Andy chuckled "and?" she asked knowing what was coming.
"And now we're married almost tens years and have three beautiful kids…tell him out straight," she chuckled and got up off her chair.
Andy walked back and dropped down beside Sam "won't be long," she said and smiled quickly.
"So how exactly did you get shot?" he asked.
Andy thought quickly "drive by," she said and looked at him "I was walking to my car then bullets started flying from a car."
Sam nodded that always happened around town "was anyone else hit?"
"No, everyone hit the ground I just wasn't fast enough."
Sam nodded again "you were lucky."
"You have no idea," she sighed.
"Andy!" the nurse called "doctor will see you now…you'll have to wait here sir," she added when Sam stood up.
Andy looked back at him "won't be long…hopefully," she said and walked by the desk "thanks," she winked and went into the office.
A while later she came out with her arm in a sling "ready?" she asked when he looked up.
Sam stood up and looked down at her arm "what did he say?"
"He took the bullet out-very painful by the way, he gave me painkillers told me to rest my arm…and I've not to be alone tonight in case an infection does get through."
Sam nodded "your room mate home tonight?" he asked as they walked outside.
"Nope," Andy said and sat on the hood of the car "she's staying at her boyfriends…I'll call my brother," she added. Pulling out her phone she called him "Deano," she said when he answered "where are you?"
"On my way to a club with Caitlyn," he replied "why?"
"No reason," she said quickly "just looking for lift to the bar I'll be fine, you two have fun," she said and hung up "he's out," she groaned.
""Right, well I'm free for the night," he said.
Andy chuckled "I'm sure sitting around a hospital all night was enough for you, I can call one of my friends."
Sam stepped in between her legs "I don't mind-I won't get to see you for two weeks…don't be mean," he pouted.
Andy giggled "why does it feel like I'm falling into a relationship I already said I didn't want?"
Sam shrugged and kissed her "feels like that to me too," he said and helped her down "you got a problem with that?" he asked.
Andy stopped at the door and pretended to think about it "nope," she said and climbed into the car.
Sam chuckled "then neither have I," he said and closed the door.
"Pizza on the way?" she asked as he climbed in.
"Pizza sounds good…you any decent dvds at home?" he asked.
Andy nodded "once you get to know me you'll know I'm not your average girly girl."
"Even better," he chuckled "so no chick flicks?" he asked glancing at her.
"A few but they're for when the girls come over."
Sam chuckled "you know me and you are really gonna get along."
"We'll see," she giggled and looked out the window.
"Where do you live?" Sam asked after a few minutes
"Oh right, duh," Andy chuckled "3328 Spidina."
Sam chuckled and took the turn for her street.
…..
When they pulled up Andy climbed out and placed her bag on the hood of the car "keys would be handy," she giggled.
"Unless you wanna sleep in the car," he chuckled.
"No thanks," Andy giggled and walked up the steps "watch your step," she said as she stumbled over one of Leo's trainers.
Sam followed her inside and closed the door behind him "you want a beer or anything?" Andy asked as they walked into the kitchen.
"No thanks, I'll get a coffee in a bit," he said and looked around "nice place," he said.
"Thanks, me and Traci did it-we let Leo do his own room," she chuckled.
Sam chuckled too "I say that ended well."
Andy shook her head "half the ceiling is splattered with green paint but he still loves it so we're not complaining."
"How long have you guys lived here?" he asked.
"I moved in here nine years ago, Traci followed when she had Leo."
"So this is your place?" he asked.
"No," Andy replied "we rent it together, I was complaining one day in college my room mate was a total pain and had took off leaving me with all the rent and bills so Traci found out she was pregnant and asked me could she move in."
Sam nodded "how old are you?"
"JD," she gasped "you never ask a girl her age," she giggled "what do you think?" she asked leaning on the counter across from him.
Sam moved closer to her "I'm gonna say…twenty-five."
Andy smiled "close enough…I'm twenty-seven, what age are you?"
"Guess," Sam chuckled.
"Um…forty?" she giggled at the look on his face "I'm kidding, thirty one?" she asked.
Sam leaned in and kissed her "close-thirty-three," he said and pushed himself off the counter "we watching a movie or what?"
"I just need to get water then we'll go up to my room, and just so we're clear…we're not having sex," she said and walked to the fridge.
"Wouldn't be much fun with you in that sling," he chuckled "and I'm not expecting it nor am I gonna make a move…I'm not like that."
Andy walked by him "I never said you were…turn the lights off," she said and walked out to the stairs.
Halfway through the movie Sam looked over at her to see she'd fallen asleep, looking around he saw a blanket on the end of her bed. Getting up he walked to the tv and turned it off, walking back to the bed he pulled the blanket up over her "night Andy," he whispered and dropped a kiss on her forehead. Climbing on over the other side he moved closer to her and slid his hand around her stomach-careful of her wound, smiling as she snuggled back into him he nestled into her hair and closed his eyes-yep, he was in trouble…he was already falling for her-and hard.
A/N so there you have chapter two, what did you all think? Don't worry they'll meet at the station soon.
