Here is the next one. Now I only had two days off shift, I was supposed to have a week, didn't work out that way. So it will be a few days before I get back to this.

Also, let me explain to the two guest reviews that got nasty. My thought processes is if you read the story as it goes you will see what I am trying to point out. That Sam sees Nick as a threat because Sam use to be the partner to Andy when she was with Luke, then look what happened. Now Sam is the Luke's position and Nick is the partner. See where I am going with this? I also see Nick wanting to protect Andy like he did on UC. Causing issues all around.

This story is Rated T

I do not own Rookie Blue, but if I did…...

Collins stiffened and Sam clenched his fists. Suddenly the door between the next room and theirs opened. Sam and Nick drew their weapons so fast and pointed it at the door.

Marlo raised her hands quickly. "Just me guys. Wow."

Sam and Nick lowered their weapons.

"Jesus Christ Marlo, you scared the shit out of us."

Marlo walked over and hit Sam on the arm, "No taking his name in vain. Pick something else."

Sam frowned at her.

Sam noticed Nick frowned at him and Sam glared at him. "This is by far over Collins."

"Oh, I think its over now that your girlfriend is here," Nick scowled at Sam.

"COLLINS, uncalled for. I am not his girlfriend. I am here to protect McNally's ass and yours. If you're going to be difficult I let Swarek have his way with you while I protect Andy," Marlo barked.


A meek voice from the bed caught all of their attention quickly, "Will you guys please keep it down. My head hurts."

They all turned to see Andy had rolled on her stomach, eyes half open looking at them and her whole body spread over the entire bed.

Nick was the first to get to her to much Sam's disgust. Marlo grabbed Sam's arm and whispered, "Calm down first before you talk to her."

Nick moved Andy's hair behind her ear so he could see her eyes. "Hey there sexy, great to see those beautiful brown eyes of yours again. Can you sit up and drink some water for me?"

Andy moaned, "I am tired."

Nick started to uncover her, "Come on Andy, remember what happened three months ago when they gave you this stuff, you got sick because you didn't eat or drink for days when you got all loopy on me. "

Marlo and Sam looked at each other. Marlo could see Sam thinking the same thing she was, what the hell happened three months ago while on their UC.

Marlo pulled Sam over to the table in the room while Nick got Andy to drink some water.

"I have passports, ids and travel papers." Marlo placed them on the table. "I also have cash and one credit card we can use. It will be in my cover name."

Sam started shifting through the documents as Marlo watched his reaction. Marlo then turned just as Sam did to watch Nick and Andy's interactions.


Nick got Andy to a seated position. He handed her the glass of water.

Andy gave him a face, "I don't want to. I feel like a Mack truck has hit me. Can't I just lay down and die please."

Marlo walked over to Nick and both of them lightly chuckled at her.

Nick handed her the glass, "No, not allowed, I promised Traci I would bring you back in one piece. "

Andy looked around again, seeing Sam sitting at the table across the room looking at her. "What happened to Steve and why am I here? Marlo, why are you here? Why are you injured Nick?"

Nick sat down next to her, "Sam arrested Steve. I couldn't take Steve alone. Remember last time? It's almost like déjà vu but this time I have help to get your better," Nick motioned to Marlo and Sam behind him.

Andy nodded, "ok." She took another sip of water and handed to the cup to him. Andy whispered, "Are you being nice to him."

"Its hard," he whispered back. "Will you just please tell him your love him."

Andy handed the water back at him and gave him a look. She whispered, "quit picking a fight with him."

Nick smirked, "then tell him to quit being a dick."

Andy hit Nick on his arm.


Both Sam and Marlo took it as their clue to drag chairs over to the bed.

Marlo figured she would start off what the brief as Nick and Sam glared at each other.

"Ok, first off, I need to give you the brief on the hospital."

Andy's face looked puzzled.

Marlo continued, "Andy they took you to the hospital after Steve attacked you at your house. Nick tried to stop him and it turned into whole station showing up and Sam arrested Steve. It seems Hill sent people to kill you two at the hospital. Dov was hit saving Gail and I." Everyone watched Nick suck in air at the statement.

Marlo reached into her jacket and handed Nick a letter, "Its from Gail." Marlo continued, "Dov is out of surgery and recovering. Chris is with him. Two nurses and one doctor were hit but they will recover."

Marlo took in a deep breath, "Luke was killed."

Nick, Sam and Andy looked stunned at her. Marlo continued, "Oliver and Best were not able to save him. He did say it was Hill that put Steve up for this. Now I need one of you to explain to me what happened three months ago and how Steve is all connected to all of this."

Nick twirled the envelop in his hand and looked at Andy, "Want me or you?"

Andy closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I guess I am just as good as anyone to tell since I am the cause of all this."

Nick shook his head, "Andy."

"What Nick, Steve came at us three months ago because I slipped up." She turned to Marlo, "I said something about needing a break from it all and was tired of our apartment. I thought Nick and I were alone when I said it. Steve was are main contact our whole UC. We didn't know he worked for Hill until you just told us. One of Steve's goons reported what I said to Steve. He took my statement as we were going bail on him and he came unglued. Nick was on a run when they came to the apartment and beat the crap out of me. Steve gave us a warning that if we doubled crossed him he would come after both of us."

Nick interrupted at this point, "I came back to find her in the bathroom bleeding. I called our contact and they got her seen at a clinic not to far from us. Bruised ribs, lots of damage everywhere and cut lip. They patched her up. The meds they gave her knocked her out and then she got sick because of it. Drink." Nick handed the water to Andy. "Steve came at me but I was able to fend him off but I walked away with a broken rib." Nick motioned for her to drink again.

Nick continued, "We thought we got Steve when we did the big bust. He was the second higher up on the day of the bust on scene. Or so we thought. I think Best was going to find out how he got out and how our cover was blown from Luke. We maintained cover the whole time."

Sam interjected now, "Do we have leak because how would they have know what hospital to hit?"

Marlo shrugged her shoulders, "I think that is what Best suspects but at this point, I am told Gail is our point of contact only. I have a new prepaid phone and so does she. That is the only number we call and only if we have to. She will send texts to relay information to us."


Andy squirmed next to Nick, "I did to head to the bathroom. Can you help me up?"

Nick stood up and helped her off the bed. "Do you need help?"

"No, I am just going to be slow."

Andy went into the bathroom and Nick sat back down on the bed.

Marlo looked towards the bathroom door, "Ok guys, I am not telling Andy this but Luke's last words to Oliver was, its Hill and save Andy. Some how Luke knew Andy was the target. How does Hill know her guys?"

Sam rubbed his face, "That is my fault. When she blew my cover she was with me when I confronted Hill. Damn."

"No it could have been me. I went to a meet when Andy was recovering from the run in with Steve. I don't know who the guy was that sat in the truck as Steve, Darren and I talked. He seemed important but I never got a face or a name. So this maybe mine."

Marlo looked between the two, "Now listen you two, it doesn't matter whose fault it is but I have no problem dumping your asses if you two are going to fight. I was sent to protect Andy. That is what Best told me to do and I will do everything in my power to protect her. If the two of you fighting endangers that, I will dump you like cheap luggage. Do you understand?"

Sam and Nick nodded. Marlo continued, "Nick I understand its hard for you not to protect Andy. Sam fix it between you and Andy or I am going to back Nick on this. Fix it or move on. You two have Andy's best interest at heart, I can see this but again, she doesn't need the added stress of you two fighting. So kiss and make up quickly, we have to move in a few hours."

Marlo got up, "I am going to go check on Andy, she may need help from someone with less testosterone.

Sam looked at Nick, "I have to protect you too. We have to be on the same page for that to happen."

"Yes, we do."

Before Sam could say anything else Marlo came out of the bathroom holding her new phone with Andy, "We have to go now."

Sam stood up, "What?"

"Someone at the 15 searched for the address of this hotel. It may just be a nothing but…. "

Sam interrupted Marlo, "I don't believe in coincidences, they get people killed. Will take the Tahoe and dump it at the mall. We are going to have to jack a car to get to the border."

Marlo grabbed all the documentation off the table quickly. "Who still has their phone on them still?"

Marlo turned to Andy who was still hanging onto her arm. Andy shook her head no.

Nick shook his head no. Sam checked his pockets, "Nope, don't have mine."

"Ok, then lets move before they find us."
