Last time: "Sam?" Andy asked. "I'll go get him if you-" Traci was cut off when Andy spoke again. "Traci who is Sam?"
_Traci_
"You know around tall, brown hair, brown eyes dimples… ringing any bells?" Traci wanted to laugh at Andy; she thought for sure that this was a joke how could she forget about Sam, it wasn't possible… right?
"I um… I'm going to help Tommy find a doctor" Traci said as she rushed out of the room toward the nearest doctor.
"Traci is she ok?" Sam asked franticly. Traci opened her mouth to speak but it was no use Sam could tell by her face something was wrong. "Where is her room?" Sam asked with his finest death stare drilling a whole in Traci. Traci-still not knowing what to say- reluctantly turned around and led Sam to Andy's room.
"Oh hi, you must be my doctor" Andy smiled at Sam. Sam jaw dropped.
"Andy you have got to be kidding me, you are joking right?" Sam asked almost unsure of himself.
"I'm sorry have we met before?" Andy asked.
"Oh your hilarious McNally, now cut the crap this isn't funny" Sam was getting mad.
"I'm not sure what you want but I sure as hell know that I have no idea who you are, Traci why is he in my room?" Andy was confused and mad at this strange man who came in her room, she didn't know him but something about him was oddly familiar, she just didn't know what it was yet.
Before Traci could answer a soft knock was at the door. "Come in" Traci called.
"Hello Miss McNally how are you feeling?" a doctor asked.
"I'm fine but that man" she pointed to Sam, "Is in my room claiming he knows me but I have clearly no idea who he is" Sam was shocked, Andy looked like she was serious.
"Well I need to talk to Miss McNally alone right now so if you could please leave I am sure I can figure this out" Sam and Traci nodded as they left the room.
"Traci why doesn't she remember me?" Sam was panicking, why cant the love of his life remember him? "I don't know" Traci answered, that was the truth she really didn't know, but if Andy remembered her then she didn't loose all her memory.
After what seemed like an hour the doctor asked if he could speak to the group.
"Well Miss McNally seems to be healing quite nicely, she will need to stay here for a week at least, at the end of the week I will asses her and see if she is healed enough to leave" "Why cant she remember me?" Sam asked. "Well I cant know for sure but what I do know is that in some cases when a patient suffers a savvier concussion such as Miss McNally has, that the brain takes that chance to lock away anything that causes her immense pain or sorrow in attempt to stop the feelings from being triggered. Now in order to stop the feeling being triggered the brain would have to lock away the memory that the feelings stemmed from and every memory that could be connected after that" The room silenced.
"Do you have any idea what the emotion would have been triggered from?" the doctor asked. Everyone knew the answer but no one dared to speak. "I am" Sam said looking down at his hands. "Well, Miss McNally will most likely remember the people she met, the things she did up until she laid eyes on you" The doctor knew that this would most likely hurt this man but if this woman had subconsciously chosen to forget she ever met him then he must deserve it. "So she won't remember me at all but she would remember say Oliver she met earlier in the day?" Sam asked.
"Sammy I met McNally a long time ago, when she was what 14?" Oliver asked Tommy.
"Hum, yea I would say she was about 14 the first time you babysat for her Ollie" Tommy replied with a slight smirk remembering when he asked his rookie to watch his daughter, he was such an over eager rookie, the best type to convince them into doing anything their T.O wanted.
Sam never knew that Oliver knew Andy, Sam always assumed that they never met but Oliver was Tommy's rookie and being a T.O himself you know you can practically make a rookie do anything.
"Well yes she should remember you seeing as you met previous to her first contact with Mr. Swarek, but she should be able to remember coworkers she met earlier to" The doctor reassured the group. "I suggest that you bring in an album with pictures of her friends and coworkers that she may or may not remember and get her to dig around in her head to find their names, as for the source of the emotion being you Mr. Swarek then I suggest showing her photos too, you can tell her bits of information once she figures out who the people are in the pictures and what her relationship is with them but do not tell her to much she needs to figure it out on her own"
The doctor turns to go back to another patient as the conversation starts.
"Can everyone get all the pictures they have that have to do with the people at 15 Andy knows?" Traci asked the group. A few "sure", "ok" and "on it" came as a response.
"Sam get all the pictures of you guy, I am going to get all my albums from the past 4 years, Tommy can you go to her house and get all her albums she has updated since coming to 15?" Tommy and Sam nodded, as everyone headed out a voice chirped.
"I am going to stay with Andy" Gail spoke. Traci was surprised at first, Gail wasn't an emotional person but you could tell she had been crying.
Traci nodded as she left.
_Andy/Gail_
"Gail what are you doing here?" Andy asked.
"Um well I am just here until um Traci comes back" Gail was unsure of how to ask her question but what the hell it needed to be answered.
"Andy do you know how long you have been at 15 for? And do you know why you are here?" Andy nodded.
"Well we just started our probation time at 15 and I guess I screwed up on my first day and landed here" Andy laughed. Gail was temped to laugh but decided against it.
"Andy you have been at 15 for 4 years" Gail watched as Andy's face filled with confusion and then fill with a large smile. "Ha ha very funny Gail"
"I'm not kidding Andy"
Andy's eyes widened. It did make sense, Gail's hair was longer, and had a scar on her for head that wasn't there before. Traci's eyes had a trace of sadness in them that couldn't come from just her, and her dad had aged a bit.
"Gail, who was that man who came in here?" Andy asked.
Gail looked at Andy; she could see the confusion and recognition in them.
"I'm not supposed to tell you, you have to figure it out on your own" Gail smiled at Andy. Andy just nodded.
A few hours later Andy's bed was filled with photos of all of her coworkers and friends.
Traci held up a photo of Leo, Nick, Gail, Dov, Chloe, Chris, Denyse, christen, her and Andy. "Andy try to name the people in this picture" Traci told her. "Um well that's Leo, man he has grown, that's Dov, Gail, you, Chris and me but I don't know who those women are and that kid or that other man, wait Traci did I have a kid?!" Andy asked alarmed. Traci laughed as she shook her head. "That other man, he is Gail's boyfriend do you remember his name?" His name was on the tip of her tongue but she just couldn't name it. "Um… Nathan, Neil, Nate, Nathaniel, Nickolas, Nick"
"That's it you got Andy!" Traci squealed. "Which one is it Trac?" Andy asked a little frustrated. "I can't tell you Andy, you know that… lets try another person" Traci suggested. Traci held up a photo of Luke. Andy could remember him a little she saw him in his car on his way to a crime scene. "Luke?" Andy asked. Traci nodded excitedly.
"So how do I know him?" Andy asked. Traci took a deep breath and explained their relationship and how he did something unforgiveable to her, but Traci was careful to not mention Sam in any of this.
"Joe" Andy sighed. Traci looked up to Andy surprised. "He cheated on me with Joe didn't he?" Traci nodded. "Traci I was in love with someone else wasn't I?" Andy asked.
Traci went wide eyed. "Look Andy you know I can't tell you who it is" Andy nodded. "Traci you said, is not was" Traci nodded. "Andy I know you still love him but something inside you is telling you to stop" Andy looked at Traci, and let a single tear fall. Traci started cleaning up the pictures on Andy's bed. "Get some sleep Andy" Andy nodded as she feel into the sweet embrace of sleep.
A few days had past and Andy gradually started to remember people, she had remembered Nick, and bits of Sam.
At the current moment all Andy remembered about Sam was that he was her training officer and that he went undercover to catch Jamie Brenan. Andy wasn't sure what happened when he was undercover but she had a feeling that it was big. Andy also knew that Sam was dating some person named Marlo Cruz, Andy had the begging of the story and the end she just didn't know the middle.
Andy was going to be aloud to leave the hospital the next day which would be Friday. Andy was a little sad that Sam didn't come back, She knew for sure that he is the one that she loves but why would she want to forget about that was the question, and she needed the answer…soon.
The day Andy got released she insisted that she be taken straight home.
Little did she know the memories it would bring back.
