Andy stopped and just looked at the door...could she walk away from him and Marlo?

'Dam it Sam' she paused 'I'm not doing this without Nicks help'

Nick was walking towards the hospital and all he could think about was Andy, he swore if he found out who was doing this he would have to give up his Uniform the way he was feeling right now...

Dove was sat in the waiting room replaying what he had heard, he stood up and started pacing that was when he saw Collins walk in. Nick saw him pacing as white as a sheet 'Chloe okay bud?' he could see Dov wasn't paying attention so repeated himself a couple of times before he acknowledged him. 'She's in surgery' was all Dov could whisper. 'Okay bud I'll see what I can find out' Nick turned and walked towards the coffee machine and put some coins in the machine and waited for the coffee to be served. he then grabbed one of the Doctors for the latest on chloe and reported it back to Frank.

He handed the coffee to Dov just as he received a phone call from Andy

Andy and Sam was going over the display that 15 had put together about who this could be about, she stopped and stared at a photo and turned to Sam 'do you think this could be something to do with ford?' Sam just looked at her 'if anyone has a grudge against 15 division it could be because of Marlo' Andy waited for a response from Sam but all she saw on Sam's face was worry 'I'm calling Nick' as Andy turned and put her phone to her ear.

Andy took a deep breath 'Nick I need you're help?' Nick wasn't sure what was going on but if andy needed him he would be there for her. 'What can I do?'

Nick was walking out of the hospital at a steady pace and jumped into the squad car and drove to the address Andy had given him for cruz. At the Same time Andy and Sam was on there way to the same address 'Even if he is after Marlo doesn't mean he know she's at her sisters, right?' Andy said trying to get reassurance from Sam that Marlo was going to be okay.

Nick arrived at the address and parked in front of the house and got out alerted by the door slightly agar, he radio'd for back up and carefully entered the property Gun pointing in the direction of where he was investigating. 'Officer Cruz are you here?'. He turned into the living room and saw Cruz up against the corner of the room 'Cruz are you okay?' All she could do was nod. Nick was just about to put his gun away when he felt it on his shoulder, he kept hold of his gun and looked over his shoulder.

'Look sir you don't need to do this, what can I do to help?' Ford stood a little shaky holding the gun to Nick's shoulder.

Then all Nick could see was Andy holding her gun towards Ford with Sam next to her'.

Andy stood in front of the man that had given her love, affection, support and more happiness in the last year than anyone had ever done.

What can she do or say to let him know that those three words he said earlier in the day was exactly how she felt 'open and honest'.

'Ford' please put the gun down You don't want to do this ' she was fighting back the tears, do not show fear McNally you are in control of the situation... What can I do?' All Andy could think of was put the gun down.

Just as Nick thought he was going to stand down, he saw officers in the corner of his eye closing in and ford panicked

Andy flew towards Nick but got tackled from the side by sam, Andy landed heavily on her side and tried to get up and crawl towards Nick but then felt pain in her chest she started closing her eyes then she felt a hand grip hers 'nick' she whispered.
