Please review.
Sam wasn't the only person who became a different person on that dreadful day, she had stayed by his side from the second he was moved to recovery until 10 minutes before waking up. She had just slipped out to run home for a shower and change when Frank said he would sit with him for a bit. She was barely out of the shower when she got the call.
Frank: "Andy he's awake, the doctors are checking him"
Andy: "ill be right there"
Frank "Andy, there's more…..he doesn't remember"
A "Ford? The shooting? What?"
F "Anything, as far as he thought he was still UC when he got shot and that's what got him made and why they called me"
The wind was knocked right out of her, how could he not remember their life, their story?
F "you still there Andy? You ok?"
A " yea I heard you, I'll bring by his ICE bag so he has his stuff, but don't mention my name sir"
She sat on her couch, the same thinking that went on during the black out, shock, fear, sadness. He didn't know her, didn't know their up's or any of their many very low down's.
After what felt like a lifetime in reality 20 mins it dawned on her. What if it was for the best he doesn't know her and their history. That alley way tackle was the worst thing that ever happened to Sam Swarek, his life would have been much less complicated had that never happened. Then she made the hardest decision of her life, she decided to rewrite the story and erase their meeting.
When she got to the hospital she handed everything to Frank but refused to enter his room. She asked to speak to Frank privately and laid her plan out. She was requesting an immediate transfer out of 15 and surrounding area's. He wanted to refuse but when she said she would simply go above him he knew she was serious. She asked for Noelle to clean out her locker and send it to her condo, she didn't ever want to step back into that building. She wrote a letter for each Traci, Oliver, Nick and one for Dov Chris and Gail together.
They all said the same thing in so many words, she was leaving and this time doing Sam the favor of not coming back. She also explicitly said to never mention her name to him and just tell him his old partner left the precinct long before the shooting. Frank tried to persuade her but he knew it wouldn't work. This was her way of protecting him from heartbreak they already went through. You can't miss someone you never knew. She knew letters was the cowardly way out but she was too afraid to say goodbye to the people who had become her family face to face knowing she would never be able to leave.
After handing all the letters to frank through tears she said thank you for everything and goodbye, that she would be out of town until the transfer got approved and asked him to call a new number when that was.
