Disclaimer: I so wish I owned Rookie Blue but I dont!

"So what's going on with you and Boyd?" Gail shot her an inquisitive look as she clocked the car heading towards them.

Andy chuckled slightly to herself. There goes Gail and her brutal honesty!

"Nothing? What do you mean?"

"Well, he sure didn't come down to the station to see me"

"He didn't come for me either! He came to brief Best"

"Whatever you say Andy. I've seen the way he looks a-"

The crackle of the radio cut Gail off mid sentence

"All available units please report back to the barn for re briefing"

"I guess we're off rookie duty!"

The briefing room was slowly starting to fill up as the teams returned wondering what big case had them called back. Boyd and Best were off to one corner in what seemed like a heated discussion. Boyd kept looking back at Andy and she could swear she heard him mention her name. He better not be trying to get me off of this case because it is too "risky"!, she thought.

Sometimes the attention Boyd gave her was sweet but other times it just got on her nerves. Everyone knew Andy was one of the best coppers in the division and could hold her own in tough situations but Boyd was determined not to have the blood of both of Sammy's parents on his hands.

"Ok settle down everyone!" Best cleared his throat trying to get everyones attention. "Detective Boyd is going to need our help with a situation today", he continued.

"How many of you are aware of who Anthony Ruiz is?" Boyd asked.

A handful of cops raised there hands.

"Good good", continued Boyd as he pointed to a picture of a dark haired man. He looked like he was in his mid forties. A bit heavy set. What really hit Andy was the look in his black eyes-it sent shivers down her spine.

"Well, he's been on our radar as a big supplier of drugs from South America for a few years now. Since he is a successful businessman with legit businesses that he uses as fronts for his illegal dealings he has been nearly impossible to catch. We currently have a deep cover operation targeting him. During the course of this investigation we have come to know that not only is he a major player in the drug and money laundering operations but he is also using his legit businesses as a front for a human trafficking ring. He sponsors families to come over disguised as "workers" for his companies only to have them disappear once they arrive and are sold".

This last bit of information caused everyone in the room to shudder. The idea that anyone could buy or sell a humanbeing was beyond their comprehension.

"Anyways," Boyd continued, " We're about a month away from a bust. The problem is one of our CI's has gone missing"

Boyd pointed to another picture. This one was of a man, or maybe a boy? He didn't look older than 20. He also had dark hair and features but the look in his face was one of innocence.

"This is Joseph Santiago. He's the son of Ruiz's partner. The kid is smart, got a full scholarship to UT and has a conscious. The problem is he's not as street smart as the rest of his family and he hasn't made contact in the past 24 hours. We need to find him before our case is toast!"

Sergeant Best interjected, "Our job is to comb the streets looking for him. We'll be contacting his friends and roommate at UT and following on any tips we receive. If anyone asks why we are looking for him you are to say that he was a witness to a fight on campus and is needed for a statement. Nash you will be staying here and running point with Jerry. Epstein/Diaz Williams/Peck Shaw/McNally, you will be patrolling the streets. Serve, protect, and let's find this guy!"

A/N: So I didn't get to cover as much as I wanted to in this chapter. I might update again tonight.
