"Two women were ones no more, if you want her to live its goodbye Oliver."
Sam shook his head and stared at the words again.
They were scratched into the sidewalk.
Andy searched his face.
"You think it's because of Celery being a-"
Sam nodded curtly.
"Most don't care that much but apparently someone in Celery's group does."
Andy stared at him.
"But where would they take her? And how would they know if Oliver does say goodbye?"
Sam glanced around uneasily.
"They'll watch."
Andy swallowed hard.
"Are you okay?"
Sam nodded and studied the woman before him for a moment.
"You better get back to the station. Frank will be done with Oliver and they might need the squad."
Andy nodded and walked away.
Oliver was shook up…really really shook up.
His wife of 15 years was dead.
She had been his ex but still his wife.
Now it was just him and the girls.
He had known instantly Celery wasn't involved but Sam's call still relieved him.
Everything had been going good and now this was thrown in.
Noelle had volunteered to take care of the girls while he helped sort this out.
He was going over every detail in his mind. Every moment with Zoey that could have led to this. Every conversation with Celery every person they had seen when they were together.
The images began to swirl before him and it hit him. The woman he was in love with-was going to marry-Was in danger. Was at the hands of a cold blooded killer and he had no idea how he was going to help her.
Oliver sat in his cruiser and leaned his head against the wheel as silent sobs shook him.
Sam almost swore when a car pulled up and blonde woman walked towards him. Jo!
He would rather have Callaghan.
Luke would have to be in court today.
That man couldn't do a single convenient thing he was sure.
She looked at him snidely.
"Detective."
He just stared at her with a glower.
"Can I see your notes?"
"No. Look at it yourself."
Jo threw her hands up in expiration.
"Swarek, we are supposed to work together here."
Sam crossed his arms and chuckled.
"I prefer not to work with you."
Jo colored slightly.
"That was years ago Swarek and I don't know why you care anyway, she probably was cheating on Luke for you anyway."
Sam feigned a smile. He had never wanted to hit a woman so badly. But this…thing…he wanted to slap her. He just shoved his notes towards her.
Jo smirked.
"Oh look, he didn't deny it."
Sam stared at her.
"Andy would never be that woman, even if I would have let her. So watch what you say about my future wife."
Jo just raised her eyebrows.
"We done talking?"
She nodded.
"Good."
