Andy smiled and turned around to walk to her side of the truck, her smiled quickly faded as a car skidded to a halt beside her and a guy jumped out. Without thinking she did what she did best she ran.


As soon as Andy stopped in her tracks Sam knew something was wrong, he didn't move as the car stopped and a guy jumped out. He slowly pulled his gun from his belt and remained still, he watched Andy take off and the guy looked back at the driver who yelled to follow her. As soon as he was close enough Sam flung the door open with force and sent the guy to the ground with a thump. He jumped out and kicked the gun away, just as the car skidded off. "Wrong move buddy" he spat and pulled out cuffs, he cuffed the guy to a lamp post and took off after Andy. It didn't take him long to find her, She was panting leaning back on a wall beside an alley, she screamed when he grabbed her shoulders" it's me it's me" he panted. Andy burst into tears and buried her head in his chest." I got you baby I got you" he murmured pulling her closer.

Andy pulled back "you should go" she said between sobs.

"What? Andy no, I'm not leaving you." Sam said wiping her tears away.

Andy stepped away from his touch "bad things happen when I'm around Sam, just look at tonight." Andy lowered her head "you'll be better off without me."

Sam stepped closer and bent his knees so he could look in her eyes "Andy, I can't think of anything but you, you drive me crazy but I wouldn't change you for the world. I am going nowhere"

Andy lifted her head and looked at him. She couldn't believe he was about to put himself in danger just to be with her. "I can't be responsible for you getting hurt Sam, you don't know what will happen."

"I don't care as long as I'm with you" he stepped closer and cupped her face "I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, no more running Andy."

"No more running" Andy whispered and rested her head in the crook of his neck.

"We better get back to the truck I have that guy cuffed to a lamp post." Sam said after a minute of just holding her.

"He'll be gone when we get back; you don't know what guys I'm dealing with here." Andy sighed "suppose we should head home."

True enough he was gone when they got back. "Damn it" Sam swore.

"Better call a taxi, call Jerry and get him to get your truck towed to the station." Andy said.

"Why? What's wrong with my truck?" Sam asked. His truck was an important part of his life.

"They could have put a tracker or a bomb maybe we need to get it checked just to be safe."

"Yeah" Sam sighed "guess you're right, go inside and call a taxi I'll call Jerry. Here" he handed Andy his gun "just in case."

Ten minutes later Sam was watching his truck drive away, he watched it until it was a speck in the distance. Andy knew she needed to thread carefully. "Sam?" she took a small step closer to him. "Taxi will be here in a minute."

She was shocked when he turned around smiled and walked over to a bench "yeah they said that five minutes ago."

Just as he said that a taxi pulled up to the doors. "Less than a minute" Andy said and pulled him to his feet. Sam grumbled something and climbed in beside her.


Twenty minutes later they arrived at Sam's he paid the driver and pulled Andy out with him." It's four am Andy, I'm up for work at six." Sam said as soon as they closed the door behind him.

Andy didn't know what to make of that "okay" she shrugged "I'll sleep in the spare room, let you get some sleep." She kissed him on the cheek and made her way upstairs.

Sam stood watching her go up the stairs, he shook his head "it's only a damn truck, don't take it out on her" he muttered to himself. He ran up the stairs and caught her just as she came out of the bathroom in her pyjamas. "Hey" he said softly stopping in front of her.

"Hey" she smiled quickly and looked at the floor.

Sam tilted her chin up to look at him "I'm sorry okay; I'm just a little upset over my truck. I didn't mean it the way it came out."

"I'm sorry for getting you into this mess; I know how much you love that truck. I promise I'll pay for whatever they do to it. You better get to bed or you won't be able to stay awake tomorrow" she kissed him quickly and stepped around him "goodnight Sam."

Sam turned in the direction she went. "Hey" he called just as she opened the door to his spare room. "That's not my room."

"I know, you said you wanted to sleep." Andy replied looking at him confused.

"Never said that" Sam smirked and walked towards her.

"You implied it" Andy said as he stopped in front of her.

"Like I said" Sam placed his hands on her waist. "I was upset" he lowered his head. "Besides, I'll never sleep known I have something as sexy as you in my houses."

"Well then how can I help?" Andy giggled as he brushed his lips against hers.

"You can help by shutting up now." Sam pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. The kiss got more frantic after a minute or so, Sam backed Andy against the door, he braced himself with one hand against the door over her head while pulling her closer by the waist with the other. He broke the kiss and moved to her neck, he began to suck her pulse point, he trailed kisses along her jawbone back to her lips, he kissed her roughly and bit her lip "I want you Andy and I want you now." He growled and dropped his hand inside her pyjama bottoms.

"Sam" Andy moaned as he went to work with his fingers. "Oh god Sam" Andy moaned again as he brushed her clit slowly. She could feel his erection pressing against her. She ran her hands down his chest and slipped them inside his jeans, he moaned into her mouth as she gripped his member "you like that?" she whispered against his lips. She was answered with another moan and a frenzy of kissing.

"Gotta see you naked now" he said and pulled her pyjama top open, sending the buttons in every direction. He slipped it off her shoulders and let it slide down her arms "my god, are you trying to kill me?" Sam groaned as he took in her black and pink lace bra.

"Why?" Andy panted "don't you like it?" she asked as she moved her hand faster.

"I do baby, I do but it looks better on the floor." He ripped the bra off her braking the clasp "I'll buy you a new one" he said quickly, throwing it over his shoulder.

"Sam" Andy gasped as he took her breast in his mouth. Rolling his tongue over her nipple he massaged the other tweaking her nipple." Sam, stop teasing!" Andy cried and gripped his cock tighter she could feel it throbbing in her hand.

Sam pulled himself away from her breast and kissed her roughly. He put his hands on each side of her hips, he looked into her eyes as he slipped his thumbs in each side of her bottoms and pushed them down and let her do the rest. When she stepped out of her bottoms he groaned again "matching underwear seriously?"

Andy giggled "not just underwear, a thong now shut up and take me." Andy brought her leg up waiting for him to put his hand behind her knee. She shrieked as he did it quickly and lifted her off the ground. He placed kissed all along her neck and face as he carried her to his bedroom, he stopped at his door and pushed her against it while he felt around for the door knob. "Right here is good." Andy groaned out as he pressed against her.

"Wow, kinky McNally, who'd have known?" He kissed her softly and dropped his hand in between them, quickly ridding himself of his jeans and boxers letting his erection stand fully.

"Oh god" Andy jerked her head back as he entered her.

"Keep screaming McNally, turns me on even more" Sam said as he began to bang her against the door. "Andy" he moaned as he she licked and bit his neck.

Andy jerked again and threw her head back "oh yeah right there, right there oh Sammm!" She cried.

"Fucking hell McNally, you are driving me crazy" he said moving faster. He fiddled again until the door flew open; he carried her into the room and went to lay her down on the bed.

"You sit" she panted, Sam did as he was told. Andy began to ride him slow, her knees on each side of him.

"Fuck Andy you feel so good." He lay back on the bed pulling her with him." Oh baby, yeah keep going" he gripped Andy's hips and moved her faster.

"Sam!" Andy squealed as he flipped them over so she was now underneath him. Sam kissed her once and pumped into her again "harder" she demanded "oh babe, yeah, right there, I'm almost there."

"You are so sexy when you talk dirty." Sam panted trailing wet, hot kisses along her neck.

"Oh Sam I'm coming! I'm coming!" She cried and screamed his name as her orgasm took over and all she could see were spots.

"Right behind you baby, right behind you." Sam moaned her name as he spilled inside her, panting he dropped on top of her. "That was fucking in-cred-able" he emphasised the last work "Jesus Andy, I've never had sex as great as that, you drive me wild." He said kissing her again.

"I try" Andy panted as she lay flat on her back "okay, so you'll defiantly be no use to frank today, it's just after five now." Andy said squinting at the clock.

"Yeah" Sam sighed" it was worth it though, just to have you next to me."

"Aww Sam, you're a big softie sometimes you know that?" Andy snuggled closer to him. "I'm sorry in advance; you're going to be grouchy Sam later."

Sam chuckled and climbed off the bed he dug his phone out of his pocket to set his alarm. Over all Andy's screaming he missed a call from Frank and had one text message. Take the day tomorrow stay with McNally I know she's at your place. "Well seems Frank is a mind reader." Sam smiled and climbed back into the bed.

"Why" Andy asked. She took the phone and read the text." So we can sleep now?" she said excitedly.

Sam chuckled "yes" he flung his shirt at her "go get us some water while I change the bed, it's soaking."

Five minutes later Andy returned with the water while Sam sat on the freshly made bed "nice" she said looking at the black silk sheets.

"What the hell were you doing? You took five minutes to get a glass of water? And Sarah bought the sheets not me."

"I said they were nice Sam, and I took so long because I was giving you a chance to get it ready." She replied getting on the bed beside him.

"Fine" Sam took the glass from her and took a sip "into bed time for sleep."Andy slid under the sheets and snuggled into him when he got settled.


Ten minutes later she was still awake she moved away from Sam thinking he was asleep. "Stupid Sophie" she muttered and let out a long sigh.

"Stop thinking and go to sleep Andy" Sam said rolling to pull her into him he buried his face in her hair.

"I can't sleep now." She whined.

Sam sat up "okay so do you want to talk then?"

"About what?" Andy asked still facing away from him.

Sam began to run his fingers up and down her arm. "Anything or you can tell me what is going on with you."

Andy sat up and looked him in the eye "I guess I better, but before I do you need to understand why I haven't told anyone. I was scared Sam, scared anyone I told would get hurt, you saw that guy tonight, that is not the first time it's happened."

"Okay whenever you're ready to talk". Sam replied.

Andy took a deep breath "there was five of us me, Sophie, Amy; she's the girl that lives around the corner, and Amanda and Jen. We were the best of friends always together. We went to this café that had just opened, we hit it off with the owner Ramon, he was a decent guy used to order in ice-cream just for us. He didn't mind us coming every night, some nights if it wasn't too busy he'd sit with us." Andy took a shaky breath.

"You don't have to talk about it sweetie if you don't want to." Sam said rubbing his thumb across her hand.

No, I need to. Amy and Sophie have been telling me to talk to someone they have and they said the felt much better knowing they did. I never told anyone Sam, not even Traci or Chris. Anyway we went there every night. Then one night it was quiet very quiet it had been snowing bad, guess nobody wanted to come out in it but we did. It was only the five of us, Ramon and the waitress Jules. Ramon was just cashing up the till to close early, we were just finishing up our ice-cream when the door opened and a guy walked in. He looked I don't know, back then I was a kid he looked funny which I know now he was high. I knew something bad was going to happen. My dad made me wear this alarm thing around my neck ever since he heard there were guys going around taking kids my age off the street. Anyway I knew he was going to do something so I pressed it, he held the smaller piece that would ring and show my location when I pressed it, by the time I did that I heard a shot I looked up to see Jules fall across a table and land on the floor." Andy sniffed and wiped her eyes

"Baby you can stop." Sam said looking at her with concern.

Andy smiled weakly at him. "Ramon dropped all the money on the counter yelling for him to take it and he yelled at us to run. The guy turned around as if he only noticed we were there. We were all in shock nobody screamed, nobody moved. Until he said that, Amanda and Jen jumped up and ran for the door. The guy aimed his gun and I watched as he shot Amanda in the back and she fell to the floor, she looked at me for a minute before she went completely still. I just kept staring at her I couldn't move." Andy let the tears fall this time "she was my closest friend out of all of them."

Sam pulled Andy into him, his heart breaking for her." You must have been scared."

Andy nodded "I just froze Sam; it was like everything was happening in slow motion. I watched Jen scream, begging for her life. I watched him shoot her in the chest and fall on top of Amanda."

Sam wrapped his arms tight around her as she burst into tears "I'm sorry you had to go through that"

"I was so scared Sam" Andy sobbed "I couldn't move, not even when he turned the gun on me, I just stared at him, he had this sick twisted smile on his face. He turned and shot Ramon when he tried to get to the girls on the floor. His body flew beside me and his blood splattered on my clothes. By then Amy and Sophie were screaming and crying huddled together. He pointed the gun at me again. The door flew open and my dad ran in, I was never so happy and relieved to see him in my life, his eyes darkened as he fell on the gun pointed at me. He shot off two rounds without hesitation; my instinct told me to jump, so I jumped on top of Amy and Sophie and dragged them to the floor just as the guy fell. His gun went off and caught me in the shoulder. I thought that was it I was gone. I lay on top of them for a good five minutes before my dad went into daddy mode. He started yelling for me and flipping tables out of his way just to get to me quicker, he had heard me scream when the bullet hit me." Andy took a deep breath "that is the worst out of the way."

"You were very brave Andy to put your friends before your own safety that takes guts. I knew there was something special about you the first time I met you." Sam dropped a kiss on her head "we don't have to talk anymore, we can just lie here."

"I'm nearly finished" Andy said and continued. "Dad had called all the parents, while I sat at the back of an ambulance with Sophie and Amy, we all held hands just to comfort each other. We sat and watched as Amanda, Jen, Ramon and Jules were wheeled by us to the coroners van. The guy had to stay inside until homicide arrived, my dad turned up on his own. Anyway the parents started to arrive looking frantically for their child. Sam my heart broke when my eyes fell on Amanda's Grandfather, her mom and dad were killed in a car accident along with her older brother, she was all he had left. He walked to me knowing she was gone, he took me into a hug and broke down I just cried and held onto him until my dad led him to a cruiser. He called me over and hugged me again and thanked me for being such a great friend to her, if I was such a great friend how come I couldn't save her too?"

"No Andy don't go there, you were a kid, you did what you could." Sam tried to reassure her.

"Amy's dad came over to me and hugged me; he lifted me off the ground repeating thank you. He put me back down and said: I can never repay you for saving my daughter's life but I will always be grateful, anything you need you come to me." Andy laughed bitterly "my two friend parent were standing two feet away from me sobbing and comforting each other. Jen's mom blamed me she said it was my entire fault Jen was there because I asked her to come."

"She had just lost her child Andy she didn't' mean it."

"I know she didn't, I stayed at the back of the funeral while Sophie and Amy stayed at the front. As the coffin passed her mother pulled me from my spot and held onto me the whole service, she said she was sorry and she didn't blame me. She told me I was a hero and I should be proud of myself."

"You saved two people at the age of thirteen from a crazy guy with a gun. That's a hero in my book."

"You know what's funny? My dad shot him twice and the bastard didn't die, he shot them all once and they were gone in seconds. My dad had no sympathy for him; he cuffed him to the table and left him there.

"He was going through emotion too Andy, he was your dad. Can you imagine the fear and panic when he came in to see all them on the floor and a guy pointing a gun at his child."

"He cried that night in his room, I went into him and he just held me saying he never wanted to see anything like that again, he promised he'd always keep me safe for the rest of my life even if I was married and had kids."

Sam smiled "he'll always be here Andy, just like I will. No matter what I promise I'll always be here for you."

Andy leaned up and kissed him softly "thank you for getting me to talk I feel a bit better."

"Any time" Sam pulled her closer. "Let's get some sleep." Andy nodded and snuggled into him, he played with her hair until she had fallen asleep. Sure she was asleep he slid out of the bed and headed for the kitchen. He started up his laptop; he needed to know everything about Donny Marcello before he could do anything to help.
