Hey guys, sorry for the wait not been able to update this weekend. It was my birthday so i have been very busy. Hope to update quicker next time. BTW in this story Andy's dad was not a cop and he is still with Andy and Jerry's mum.
The last thing that they expected to see was Jerry and Traci sat in chairs at the side of a bed holding Andy McNally.
Not long ago the doctor had eased Andy out of her coma and were know waiting for her to wake up. She began to stir and Jerry was at her side in minutes. He hit the call button for the doctor and seconds later she was in the room.
"What's wrong?" the doctor asked panicked. "She's waking up" The doctor walked over and checked her vitals. After she concluded that nothing was wrong she waited for Andy to wake.
Andy stirred again and then her eyelids fluttered open. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Jerry looking down at her she also felt him stroking her hair. "Hey" she said in a weak voice. Her throat was dry. Jerry handed her the water and the doctor asked how she was feeling. "I'm okay just in a lot of pain." you could tell by her voice the amount of pain she was in. "That's okay we'll get you some pain meds and you need to sleep. I'll come and check on you in a bit." The doctor smiled and left the room.
Andy then noticed that Traci was in the room. She sat up and smiled "Hey Trace, I'm guessing he told you?" "Yeah he did, but I still can't believe that you didn't. When you get out of here we are going to be having a long chat about what other things you are keeping from me and then you are going to be telling me all the embarrassing things he did as a kid" Both girls giggled while he shot Traci a glare but finishing it with a small chuckle himself. "Yeah I'm sure that she'll enjoy doing that. But more importantly you need to explain to me why you left without saying goodbye first" Jerry said with a hint of concern but also sounding very demanding. "Look Jerry, I'm sorry okay I just needed a break there was a lot going on. I had to get away." she was pleading with him to understand. Jerry accepted this and Andy, him and Traci just sat and talked for a while.
On the other side of the wall they were all confused. They were all thinking why didn't they tell us why she was here and why is Jerry? A doctor then walked past them and into Andy's room. The doctor seemed very familiar with Jerry, and Traci really didn't do much talking. When they saw that Jerry was stroking her hair and holding her hand they were all confused, but more confused about the fact that Traci wasn't doing anything. The doctor left and they just sat and watched them talking, all comfortable around each other.
Jerry and Traci left to let her rest and to get home to relieve Mrs Nash of her babysitting duties. They both hugged Andy goodnight and said they'd be back tomorrow. They left hand in hand with smiles on their faces knowing that she was going to be okay.
They had to walk through the waiting room on their way out and what they didn't expect to see was all their friends sat and waiting with glum expressions.
"Hey what are you guys doing here?" all their heads shot up and they all had scowl's on their faces, some worse than others. Oliver was the first to speak "We could ask you two the same question" "we already told you were here visiting a sick relative" Jerry replied honestly. "Don't give us that we know that you're here to see McNally, but what we don't now is why you didn't tell us she was here and when the two of you became so close. Also why you were the first to find out was here?" Oliver asked gruffly.
"We didn't tell you she was here because she has been in a coma until today, plus she needs to heal and can't do that if all of you are her asking questions. Secondly, were close because she's my fiancé's best friend, so I see her a lot and finally I was the first to find out because I'm a detective." Jerry wasn't sure if Andy wanted anyone to know so he figured that he would just wait until she's ready. "Well either way you should have told us we were worried about her." Jerry was shocked to hear Sam talk. He'd been so quite it's like he wasn't there.
The next day Traci, Jerry and Frank were all talking to Andy in her room. "So when can I go back under?" Andy asked. Three worried and confused faces turned and looked at her. "Andy you can't go back under. Your covers been blown." Frank said clearly confused as to why she wants to go back under. "What! How?" "Andy you're in the hospital they figured it out" Jerry was now wondering why she does not know her cover was blown. "This wasn't the guys I'm under with. As far as I'm aware my covers intact." even more confusion circulated the room. "Andy what do you mean?" Jerry asked
"Do you remember Mike from high school?" Jerry nodded "Well he's a cop detective now down at 27th division. He called me a couple of weeks before you got stabbed and told me that they got Hailey." noticing Jerry's eyes go wide "She's completely fine, Don't Worry, they got her back but she had some broken bones and a lot of bruising. They beat her until she told them where I was. Anyway she eventually gave in and told them. They left her there and Mike found her, which is when he called me. He arranged the undercover because although it sounds strange it's the safest place for me right now. I was supposed to leave the day you got injured, I stayed as long as I could but had to leave so I wrote you the letter. And before you ask I couldn't tell you because the less people that knew the better. A couple of days ago I went back to my apartment, not my undercover one, to pick something up and they were there, they beat me said consider this a warning and left. So here I am. "
Traci and Frank were completely confused but judging by the look on Jerry's face this was really bad. He still hadn't said anything and Andy was getting worried "Jerry say something" Andy pleaded. Everyone jumped when Jerry shouted "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SHE'S MY FAMILY AS WELL YOU KNOW AND NOT TELLING ME ABOUT THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS I COULD HAVE HELPED." " No Jerry you couldn't. This has been going on since I was 13, if someone could have done something don't you think they would've by now." Jerry turned and walked out of the room muttering to himself. "Frank can you go and get him back and then we'll explain what's going on. And Frank don't let him do anything. Thanks" Andy and Traci were now the only ones in the room. They chatted for a while avoiding the elephant in the room. 5 minutes later Frank and Jerry walked back in, they sat down and Jerry began to explain.
"When Andy was 13 she went out with her friends one night, she got tired and decided to come home early. On the way home she wasn't paying attention and she took a wrong turn. On the road she saw there was a group of men who were going into people houses then shooting and robbing them. They killed all 75 people on the road. She was the only witness. She got home and was in shock I managed to get her talking and she told me what happened. We rang our uncle who is a cop he came over and she told him. There was officers looking around the streets for weeks. Andy gave us a full description of one of the men and he looks the same as Anton Hill. After a few weeks they kidnapped her and kept her for several weeks. One day she got away and came back home. We moved to Toronto and have lived here ever since. To this day they have not caught Hill and Andy is the only witness. But with the evidence and Andy's statement we could put Hill and his men away for life, which is why for the past 15 years they have been hunting her down. They have caught her a few times but she has had many self defence classes and she managed to get away. We still can't find him but he always finds her.
Jerry was now holding Andy because she was crying, like she does whenever she has to hear this story again. Frank and Traci understand now why Andy was so upset and Jerry so worried. "Okay guys we'll try and sort this out. McNally I'm pulling you out of the UC and have a patrol car outside your apartment and a guard put outside the door. I won't put you in witness protection but if they do anything else I will not hesitate to do so." Frank said this in an understanding voice but also one that said this is not up for discussion. "Thanks Frank" Jerry replied "Oh and guys who's Hailey?" "She's our little sister" this time Andy spoke in such a quiet voice you had to strain your ears to hear her. With that Frank left leaving Traci, Jerry and Andy in the room talking. Andy shot Jerry a look that said thank you for not telling her. Jerry didn't mention the fact that Andy was raped and got pregnant when she was kidnapped, or the fact that got rid of the baby.
A week had passed and Andy was out of the hospital she was healing nicely, so she asked Mike to come down and talk to Frank and for him to bring Hailey with him. At 10am they came to collect Andy to take her to the barn. As soon as she was out of her apartment building and she was nearly knocked down by a 16 year old charging at her. She just managed to hold out her arms when Hailey hugged her. Andy picked her up and spun her round. For a 16 year old she was quite small, she had long brown hair, hazel eyes that you could just melt in and the cutest little button nose. They shared a long hug until Andy noticed Mike propped up against the car. She walked up and hugged him. Mike was a tall, muscular man with green eyes and dirty blond hair styled like in the army. They shared hugs and got into the car. On the way to the barn they all got up to date on each other's lives and before they knew it they were in the station parking lot.
They walked in all smiling ad happy and headed to Frank's office. While Andy went to collect Jerry and Traci they introduced each other. Andy didn't tell Jerry that Hailey was coming into town. She knocked on the door and found them both there "Hey guy's, Frank wants to see us in his office." They both sighed they got up and followed Andy to Frank's office. Jerry saw Hailey through the window. He practically sprinted to Frank's office not noticing the funny looks headed his way. He opened the door rand up to Hailey and gave her the biggest hug. "Hail's I've missed you so much" He mumbled into her shoulder. "I've missed you two" Jerry introduce her and Traci and shook hands with Mike. They all sat and talked about the case for a while.
Down in the bullpen Sam and Oliver watched the whole exchange and were both wondering who the mystery girl was. "Who do you think that is?" Sam asked Oliver "Not a clue. Let's ask her she's coming out"
They followed Hailey which led them to the coffee station. "Hi" Hailey turned and smiled "You must be knew around here. I'm..." "Sam Swarek and Oliver Shaw. I know Jerry's told me about you." Sam and Oliver chuckled "All good I hope. And you are?" Oliver asked. "Oh Sorry. Hailey Barber Jerry's sister" "Jerry has a sister?" Sam said.
Andy must have noticed them talking because she told Jerry to go and stop her telling everyone. If she was correct Hailey would just blab and everything would get ten times worse.
"Yes 2 actually I came down to visit him and my sister" Hailey responded easily. "Oh, What's your sister called maybe we know her?" Oliver asked curiously "Well you should. I mean you do work with her." Sam was the next to speak "Who?"
Jerry stopped dead in his tracks when Hailey answered. "Her names Andy McNally"
Hey, I hope you enjoyed it. Please R&R. Will update ASAP
