Andrea "Andy" McNally. McNally. For him. In three year and a half that he had known she had changed everything he knew and discovered a form of love that he never thought it could be possible, He regretted letting her giving her bulletproof vest he should have told her to keep hers and get one not that he would have. He wanted to find Ford because he abducted his best friend and brother Olive, and hurt other police officers. As he replayed the last conversation, he had with McNally, he could understand why she mentioned the evidence room after all if Ford wanted to destroy all the proof of his involvement in the 15, that's where he should go. He knew it was the best decision to split because he cared for McNally and if the best decision was to split to be far away from the danger. Not once did he believe that he would go finish is hit list, he was so not concentrating because he was worried for Oliver. The news had been dumped on him and hit like a cold shower, and he felt the same feeling when he heard Jerry was shot. This couldn't happen again why couldn't 15 just be like a normal station where no one is after them?

He sighed as he waited in the interrogation room. When he had run inside the station to find Ford, he had just come in front of the police officer in charge of the evidence room and feel something stirred inside of him. It was too quiet suddenly; normally, a station would keep buzzing of chitchat and clicking and police officers walking, it was quiet. Something telling him that he needed to stop and find McNally, his guts were telling him that Ford was not here. He was somewhere else in the station, and as he ran back in the opposite direction to find Jerry and Luke, alert them, the growing voices were getting louder as he approached the scene. The station was having unmoving police officers, all weapons draw, all taken a stance, he advanced trying to see more clearly the scene. The sound of a gunshot rang throughout the main floor of the station where the offices were. McNally's body just falls backwards, his voice just instinctively boomed.

"MCNALLY!"

He couldn't reach her fast enough as Collins, Jerry and Callaghan were all over the place. Jerry assessed the situation and give order, and he was suddenly pushed by two fellow officers of 27 somewhere away from the scene now a crime scene. Away from Andy. He wanted to yell and fight against the officers as the noise got excessively loud, mid-way in the hallways as other police officers were flooding the station's and pulling other fellow officers elsewhere.

"SAM! SAM!SAM!SAM!" Sam Swarek could hear his name being called by Marlo. He couldn't twist to see what was happening, as the two officers were holding him firmly.

He met Jerry.

"Jerry! I got to see McNally and helped her out. She was shot!"

"I know she was shot, look I got to go back, it's under control, just listen to the officers and everything would be alright."Jerry just left running back ordering other things

No! Nothing would be alright, McNally was shot why couldn't Jerry understand and be on his side. He cares about her. He was her partner until he was a detective and she went into that U.C. He should have to keep having her back. He regretted breaking up that night and how it made their relationship so awkward.

He was dragged to the interrogation room where he was reminiscing everything that just happens. But not just that bit also doing a retrospection of Andy and him. He always made sure to keep it professional at work but also in his head especially when he was at work. He was so caught up on using Marlo against McNally to show her how he was hurt from her. Did he love Marlo? Yes. Did he want to spend the rest of his life with Marlo? The commitment was too much to ask him. Would it be the same if Oliver asked him if he was ready to spend the rest of his life with Andy? Probably.

He was so unsure because he was so caught into being the best detective for 15 and follow the footstep of his other best friend, Jerry. He found during the past year, his eyes widen, nearly a year that Marlo has been working in the fifteen, she was a new addition as a senior police officers as a few were going to retire in the next year and you always need to found other police officers to avoid short staff, though it was hard for the 15 lately. They are a big family and bonds between police officers were difficult to severe.

He frowned as he tried to find an explanation of why he was put in the interrogation room. Why couldn't they take his statement at the crime scene? What's going on? And why couldn't Marlo run to him? He regretted a bit asking McNally to forged a fake log entry, but he knew she would have his back and he told her he would handle it if they have found that about it, that would explain why they put him here. What they found in Marlo's basement and Ford's house put Marlo, him and McNally in hot water.

When was Jerry coming to interrogate him? All he wanted to do is leave to see McNally or at least wait at the hospital for an update. She was his partner and ex-girlfriend, but he needed to make sure she was fine, he still had mixed feelings for her, and this was some kind of wake up call. He had always lived simply. And taking risks in a relationship was a big NO.

He stood up in the interrogation room and walked around trying to stay calm and no be impatient, he opened the door but was met with the two officers.

"Sorry Swarek, the Detective is not ready to interrogate you right now. You have to wait!" One of the police officers said.

The door closed and he looked at the wall. His thoughts back to McNally. He was a possessive person and when he saw McNally with Collins. He felt annoyed even if she was his ex-girlfriend, he wanted to interact with McNally, but he always felt like hitting a wall or making her uncomfortable. She would try to walk away or stay silent and wait for someone else to talk if it was not the job-related. She was always professional and the fact that he requests a lot for the D' was because he missed her as a friend and a partner. She was smart with cases, and even with task forces, he heard from Jerry. Her ideas even if they were crazy mostly paid off, sometimes, he had to deal with Marlo and Andy on some cases, even though Marlo shot down some of Andy's ideas because they weren't always following the protocol, they were always in the grey area and vice-versa. Everyone was able to pull it off to be professional. He likes her in the D's except for her methodical way of setting the cases and at the end his desk which received a lot of comment from Marlo, he tried to stay polite went she did that, but he was truly annoyed with it. Still, he kept being quiet when Andy did that.

Nick Collins. Sam Swarek didn't hate Nick Collins as a police officer. The G.I. Joe, a nickname that followed him because of the Rookie, no longer rookie, Gail Peck, made Sam wanted to test the guy because he was in the UC with Andy. He wanted to know if the guy really had her back, he wanted to push that Collins limit. For a former soldier, he never seemed angry or negative about life and that was something weird for Swarek. How can the guy be so carefree of life, Sam may be simple, but he was also very realistic that some situation could make someone angry. But Officer Collins, not once. When former Rookie Diaz and his ex-wife or girlfriend Denise had yelled at Andy because their son Christian was kidnapped. Collins shielded Andy from the angry verbal attacks and always spoke in a calm tone. Not once Collins seemed angry or even had had feelings for the couple after they retrieved Christian and both apologize to them. He was there for Andy while he was what interrogating her in a way that he regretted it even if he felt a small part of him saying it was his job. He hand mishandle the entire situation and that one time did Collins seemed firm in his voice. It put Sam unhappy that day, he went to apologize to her late that night, and she just accepted it, but she wasn't feeling good. He tried to offer a ride, but Collins was again there. He was glad someone else had her back also, he trusted Collins to have it now a bit more than when they both came back from the UC. Sam knew that even if rumours were going on around Andy and Collins closeness and that he had some point believe into those rumours which put him in a bad mood because he felt possessive.

McNally was single, and so was Collins (for the past three-four months. It's just Sam felt annoyed, not jealous, very annoyed, that Collins had the right to be that near of McNally. The G.I. Joe was hovering her like a hawk even she was completely oblivious of it. Sam caught so many times, Collins looking at Penny or in the station Andy. Since Gail Peck and Collins broke up, it was more visible that Collins would spend more time with McNally outside of work. The guy went to her apartment, he was not a stalker as he shook his head inwardly, he was not a stalker, but he would go with his truck sometimes followed her to make sure, she was safe, the night she would walk. He would sometimes try to stop at her block apartment and never have the courage to speak to her but hang out around her block apartment while Marlo was sleeping in his house. Or he would go mid-way and turned back; he also tried to spend as much as he could with Marlo, because that's what Andy taught him. He dropped the ball, but he didn't want to make the same mistakes with Marlo or even with McNally if he ever got back with her. To spend it with those you cherish and he loved Marlo, she was similar to him, and he didn't have to explain himself every time.

"Swarek, sorry I got to interrogate other people, and I need to dispatch the people from the station. I need to take your statement and asked you questions about officer Cruz, Officer McNally, and Kevin Ford, "Immediately started Detective Peck, as he entered in the interrogation room.

As questions and answers flew, it took a few hours as Detective Peck was picky about some details. He was finally liberated and he could finally check on Ollie who they found as Sergeant Best briefly spoke to him to explain the latest developments. He was also told he was clear from the corruption. Oliver was in the same hospital where Andy was transported. He checked for any text messages — one text from Jerry.

Cruz is still in interrogation. Don't disturb; I'll be in the hospital.

He changed in the men lockers and went in the parking lot to get his truck to go to the hospital. He drove quickly to reach there.

"Andrea McNally," he asked at the reception. He showed his badge.

"Sammy!" Jerry callout as he walked to meet Sam.

"Jerry. What is the news?"

"She is still in surgery; they have clear you out, I just finished a phone call with Frank. The others are scattered in Price and Oliver's hospital rooms. Frank and Noelle are going to pass later with Steve."

"What the hell happen?"

"I can't tell, but Frank told me, he briefed you on the corruption?"

"Yeah, a bit didn't tell much because some officers were in the hallway, told me to ask you."

"15 have many problems for the past months, and they are all bursting out now, so it looks like a big mess, but we handle it as much as we could. Other divisions are going to help us out, and they are keeping me in the loop."

"So I was suspected of corruption?"

"Everyone in the 15 was. We had a hard time to clear you out because of your connection with Cruz, and we have nothing to hold you more in the interrogation room. Don't be surprised if you get question more by the Internal Affairs, they will swarm tomorrow, or in a few days, they usually barged but Frank is holding them off."

"Can we see Oliver?"

"Yeah, visiting hours are over, but since the threat on the 15 is still ongoing until further notice, we can stay and keep company, I'll show you where his room is so that you can talk. I need to see Callaghan and gave a few calls."

"Is Nash here?"

"Yeah, everyone near McNally is here. Don't worry, we got this," as they walked through a hallway and then took the elevator, "I probably need to go back to the station to check on a few cases and redistributed a few on-going cases since we still ford and Cruz as a top of our priority."

Sam nodded, listening to take all he could from Jerry.

"Look, I know you respect Luke as a Detective and that's it because of Rosati, Martinelli and McNally and maybe because of Cruz, but you got to put your grudges and feelings aside and listened to what he tells you, while I'm gone. He is in charge here," Jerry lowered his voice as he spoke as they stepped out of the elevator and walked down on their right in the hallway.

They reached a hospital room, and Jerry knocked as the door was closed. Epstein opened a tiny bit the door.

"Detective Barber?" he whispered.

"Yes, is he asleep?"

"Yeah, he had fallen asleep a couple of minutes, everything had exhausted him, and they gave a sedative and morphine to help with the pain."

"Alright, Peck will stay with Swarek, and you are going to see Diaz. Check how he is feeling and both wait in the waiting room. I'm going to check on Price. There's a new shift of officers coming from different divisions at least ten that are going to circulate on the level and one pair each will stood of Shaw and Price's rooms."

"The threat is not gone?"

"No, it still high. We are doing our best. Get Peck; I'll explain a few things."

They let Sam entered the room, and he approached a sleeping Oliver. He sat on the chair, pulled next to his bed. Only a few minutes later did Peck closed the door and stayed near the window and the door, watching outside the hospital staff and the patients walking in the hallway.

He closed his eyes for a second, letting his thoughts flow in his mind.

Ollie was his best friend and a brother for him. He always had his back and always knew the right words to comfort him to make him think. He was supportive in his relationship with Andy even if he was hesitant in his choice with Marlo, Ollie went for it. They would sometimes ride even if he was now a detective because they were short-staff of polices. Sam being the most recent promote Detective was still the one to put back the uniform as currently, Luke had been handling a few small taskforces surveillance for future UC assignments. Plus other Divisions needed police officers to help them out. They talked and talked, Ollie shared his worries about his new relationship but told him no matter the decision, he will support Sammy.

Marlo was not a rebound from Andy and his break-up. It was weird for him to hear from Ollie that he was using Marlo because, in his mind, he wasn't using Marlo. Marlo was different from McNally. First, it was easier to say Marlo than to call, McNally, by her first name. Marlo was more mature and knew what she wants in her relationship with him. She was easier because he didn't need to fight or prove to whoever they have to their love with McNally; he had to show that he could be the right guy after Callaghan. It was easier to be affectionate with Marlo whenever he wanted, no teasing from fellow officers which he already felt all the regards of the station when McNally went with him shortly after she breaks up with Callaghan. He felt like he was compared by the others next to Callaghan and it sucked for Sam. Even if McNally kept saying she didn't care about what they said and he shouldn't care too. Wondered if he was a rebound, but he deeply knew McNally wasn't lying about her feeling and she was genuine about it and he loved so much did he loved her now. Yes. Did he want to break-up with Cruz? No, but with the circumstances of their mistakes, probably.

With McNally, it was the game of teasing and fun; she was different because she brought a side of him; he preferred to hide. He wanted to be near Andy, he wanted to take the time to repair the damage and have a real talk. No more running.

Hope you enjoy Swarek! What did you think? Keep your awesome reviews!
