Hey guys, thanks to Lissa13, carmi-bear, Linda p, rbfan624 and mamaluvsRB for reviewing chapter 1 and a special thanks to jh126 for reviewing and your kind words of encouragement.

I found this chapter a bit daunting to write as I think it will either make or break the story so let me know what you think.

Sorry if it's a bit sad but i promise there will be a happy ending, enjoy :)


Sam woke early the next morning and the memories of last night came rushing back in a flood. Holy shit he thought as he remembered exactly what she had done to him, the way he had lost himself in her and the way she had done exactly the same. She looked so beautiful sleeping next to him, her head nuzzled into his neck and her warm, soft hand draped over his chest. A buzzing noise on his bedside table brought him back to reality.

He didn't want to wake McNally so he quicly scooped up the phone and flipped it open while walking out of the room as silently as possible. He didn't want to leave the warmth of his bed, his bed with Andy laying so perfeclty in it.

he didn't check the caller ID as he thought it would probably by Ollie, everyone else knew better than to ring sam at 7:15 on a Saturday unless they wanted an earful, and that was exactly what he planned on giving to Ollie.

"This had beter be bloody good Oliver cause i just had to leave McNally in my bed to answer this call and..."

"Sam, it's Boyd" came the voice form the other end of the line "But i'm glad you two finally shacked up. Now if i was the one working with a hot thing like that i can't say i would have waited this long but whatever you..."

"Boyd! What do you want?" Sam said, cutting Boyd off. He was in no mood after having him ruin his perfect morning already.

"Well Sammy boy we, ah, we need to move on this UC thing within the week"

"What? You said i had three weeks and that it was in the early stages?!"

"I know what i said but Jamie Brennan just let some of our undercover guys know that he is getting ready for another job and needs some more people. I can have all of your stuff ready by Monday, you just need to..."

"Boyd, stop. Who says I can do it on such short notice?"

"You're Sam Swarek, UC is your baby, you would never let anything hold you back from that, unless, are you thinking of staying for McNally because i guarantee you man that that thing wont last long. She's holding you back Sam, she's just a girl - You will get over her but you may never get another opportunity to go undercover like this again! Did i mention that it's for 9 months in deep cover? After this you could get on any task force you wanted!"

"And what if I don't want to go undercover again or get assigned on a task force? What then ha?"

"Sam you will regret this"

"Ok, um, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Fine, but i need to know by tonight wether you are in or not"

"Ok. Bye"

"Bye, oh and Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"If you go under it's no contact whatsoever with anyone form this life. Cover apartment, car, boat, ID's, everything. So think about what you really want, I understand if UC is getting too hard on your life and you want to start settling down or whatever but you just need to know how big this op is, there's no room for distractions or screw ups"

"Got it. Bye"

He has only just gotten Mcnally and now he had to leave her? What kind of fucked up game is the universe trying to play because it's really not very funny.

So he decided he was probably going to say, no make that he WAS going to stay because he finally had a reason to stay. He loved that her and he had made a promise to her, he was in no position to break that promise less than 24 hours later. He climbed back into bed beside McNally and thought of all the ways he was going to ring back Boyd and tell him to shove it.


"wow" sighed Boyd. They were sitting in Frank's office discussing the details of the op.

"What?" asked Frank, curious as to what had made Boyd speechless

"I think he might actually turn it down"

"Really?" exclaimed Frank just as surprised as Boyd was. He knew Uc was Sam's pride and joy but he also couldn't help but notice the change in his friend ever since McNally had come along. Frank knew Sam loved Andy, even if he was too stubborn to ever admit it to anyone, least of all her. "Does it have anything to do with a one Andy McNally?" asked Frank, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah, he was actually in bed with her when I rung him" said Boyd, still trying to get his head around the situation.

"Oh, well in that case do you think we should get someone else lined up?" asked Frank

"No. I know Sam and sooner or later he will come to his senses when he realizes McNally isn't worth it"


Unbeknownst to Sam, Andy had heard him leave and was able to hear snipets of his conversation. She quickly figured out that he was talking to Boyd and she remembered the UC job that Boyd was setting up. Oh no. Was he still going to leave, even after everything that had happened between them? She wasn't sure of the answer but she knew she had to talk to Sam.

She felt him crawl back in beside her and she inched closer to him to get some of his body heat, she was freezing.

"Good morning" He whispered

"Morning" she whispered back.

Sam saw what he thought was an unhappy look on her beautiful face, even with panda eyes form her mascara.

"Is everything ok McNally" he asked softly

"Yeah im fine, why wouldn't I be?" she replied but he knew better than to trust her 'I'm fine'. He also knew better than to push the subject so he just left it, thinking she would talk in her own time and when she was ready.

She got up and showered while he made coffee in the kitchen for the both of hem, nothing like a strong coffee in the morning to wake you up he thought.

A she walked back into the kitchen dressed in her jeans and tank top a sudden thought hit her. He still wants to leave she tight. If i'm the reason he stays then he will resent me. He loves his Uc work and there's no way he's giving that up for just some girl.

"Sam?" she asked hesitantly

"Yeah" he replied

"I heard your conversation with Boyd. Are you still going to leave?" she asked him while trying really hard to keep her voice even and un-shakey .

An expression briefly crossed her face. Oh shit, he thought. Was she regretting last night already? Did she think it was a mistake? He had no idea so he decided to give her an out.

"Do you want me to go?" he asked, hoping that no would be the answer. It had taken a long time to get to where they were now and he didn't want to take steps back but he also understood that last night may have been a heat of the moment thing and that she might not feel as strongly for him as he did for her.

Her heart was screaming No you idiot, i love you! Please don't leave me but her head was saying something else.

"Yes" She murmured barley above a whisper.

'I didn't quite catch that" he responded, hoping he hadn't heard her right.

"Yes" She yelled back this time, fighting back the ever present tears. "I want you to go and not look back".

She thought she was doing the right thing.

Her words hurt more than anything she had ever said to him, more than I'm moving in with Luke, or I'm marrying Luke, or it was what it was and in that instance his heart broke.

"Ok" he simply responded. Sam turned around and left, not looking back because he knew that if he did he would scream out Andy I love you! Don't go! even though he was the one leaving. He had honestly thought last night was something special they had both shared, not just him but now he realized that even tough he loved her, she had not felt the same way.

Sam called Boyd later that night and accepted the offer. Within a few hours he had a new ID and everything and as he drove away to his new life he couldn't help but wish things were different. He had broken his promise to her and there was no going back.


Please review as this is my first ever story and I really appreciate the feedback, good or bad.

I hope to have the next chapter up in the next two weeks, I know what I want to do with it - it's just a case of getting form point a to point b.

Thanks and enjoy :)
