So let's see what Melissa did with Anna… enjoy!
Still own nothing about Rookie Blue.
Chapter 7:
"I know who took Anna." Andy said before she even made it through the door.
"And who will that be?" Steve Peck said putting down the phone.
"Focus on your own case, Peck and leave our case alone." Sam snapped.
"Melissa." Andy choked out, surprising both men.
"Melissa? Are you sure? How did you get to that conclusion, McNally?" Steve Peck asked.
"So you can phone her and give her a head up again. McNally, follow me." Sam asked taking Andy by the arm leading her out of the office but before they could leave Steve stopped them.
"Now wait a minute, the last time Melissa took Annabelle I wasn't even in the States and Gail was away at school. If you want to blame someone, blame my parents. Sam, you know that my parents would do anything to protect the Pack name. They never wanted to admit Mel had a problem or that she was in the wrong. But I knew what my sister was and is, so please don't blame me or Gail for what they did 10 years ago. Let me help you, please?" Steve just looked at Sam with pleading eyes.
"Okay… BUT if she runs again, you're dead. Understood?" Sam warned.
"Deal! Now McNally, you were saying." Steve said.
"Melissa took her the last time, why? Not to get back at Sam or to have Anna in her life but to settle a drug debt. Some sick people will take a payment of kids any day above money. Sam you know how many kids gest kidnapped every year and sold on the black marked. Maybe Melissa came out of hiding and someone found her and now it's time to pay up. Teenagers sell for much more than little kids." Andy told both men.
"Andy might be right." Traci said as she walked back into the office, Oliver and Dov right behind her. "They found finger prints on the left passenger door handle and they found a match in the system. And the winner is… Paul Jensen, convictions longer than Leo and it includes drug dealing and kidnapping."
"Paul was Melissa's boyfriend in high school." Nobody saw Gail enter until she spoke up. "His parents died a few years back and they left him a house here in Toronto. And I know where it is…" Gail said as she left the office.
"When we find Annabelle, I'm killing her." Sam said, as everybody left to get to their cars.
"No, you wouldn't. You'll be too busy thanking her and dealing with Annabelle." Andy said as she got into the car with Sam.
(A few hours later)
"I'm her mother, why would I kidnap my own child?" Melissa spat at Chris.
"You gave her up when she was born, you have no right to her." Traci answered back.
"Well, I didn't want her to be with me while I was on drugs. So I gave her to Sam so he can look after her until I got better but…"
"That's not what the court documents say. According to them Sam Swarek is her legal guardian and if something happens to him, she'll be living with Sarah." Chris had to shut this woman up, she was getting on his nerves.
"I… I…" Melissa was lost for words.
"Like I said, you gave up your right to her years ago. And to top it all off, you never tried to contact her or Sam. You just wanted her for your own…" But Chris was interrupted by the door opening and Superintended Peck standing there.
"Diaz, Nash out now. I would like to speak to my daughter for a minute and please tell the lot behind the glass they can go and get coffee. This is a private conversation, thank you."
Traci and Chris just looked at each other and just did what they were told. Nobody argued with her not even her husband.
"Mommy…" Melissa cried.
"Don't call me that, Melissa. I'm done helping you out of trouble. Every time you screw up, I have to bail you out and at what cost? I'm not putting my career on the line anymore, Gail and Steve never gave me as much trouble as you have given me. I'm done, maybe you'll learn something in jail as you will never get out. I'll make sure you get charged with the death of both of Annabelle's friends and attempted murder on Annabelle." With that, Eleanor Peck left the room with a tearful Melissa just sitting there.
"Officer Diaz, Detective Nash you can go back in now. Please add two counts of murder, attempted murder to the charges of kidnapping."
"Yes, Superintended Peck."
"Frank, please let Detective Swarek know I would stop by the hospital tomorrow morning to see him and Annabelle."
"I will tell him, Eleanor." Frank nodded.
Sam was sitting next to Anna's bed, the doctors gave her something to help her sleep. She had few broken ribs, a foot fracture, a sprained wrist and a lot of small cuts on her hands and arms – the doctor told Sam he normally sees that type injuries on victims that fights back when attacked and with that information Sam was proud of his little girl. Sam couldn't believe his daughter was in the same city as him after so long and for the first time in a long time Sam felt complete. He had Andy back and they were working and talking through everything which was weird for him but he never wanted to lose her again, ever. And now with Annabelle here he was going to work very hard to win her trust back again, even if it takes forever. She really turned into a beautiful woman with her long curly black/blue hair that still looked like they had a will of their own, Sam had to wonder if she still wears her glasses or if she prefer to wear contacts. He loves her sky blue eyes so he doesn't want her to change that part of herself. Sam was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear the door open.
"How's she doing?" Andy asked as she wrapped her arms around Sam's neck.
"Good, she's home and we're going to fix everything."
"I'm going to go home, do you need anything before I leave?"
Sam pulled Andy so she was sitting on his lap, he moved her hair behind her ear. "I need you in my life, so I'm going to do anything to keep you but I also need Anna in my life. For the first time in a very long time I feel complete and …"
Andy cut him off with a kiss, "We'll figure it out, baby steps right?"
"Right."
"So tell me a little about her." Andy asked, pointing her head towards a sleeping Annabelle.
"Well," Sam said pulling Andy closer to him, "She likes ice-cream, the color purple and pancakes with blueberries. She's really smart and her nose is always in a book and her mouth doesn't have filter, she doesn't play or watch any sport but will sit and read while you watch just to be close to you. She has this little walrus named Queen Victoria, don't ask why she named it that, that was her and Jerry's little secret. She doesn't eat eggs but loves bacon! She's always willing to help people around her and if she starts something, she has to finish it… even if it takes her all day and all night."
"She sounds like someone else I know when it comes to that." Andy smirked.
"Funny, McNally."
"What is she studying?"
"Criminal Law."
"Not the easiest thing to study but I can see her as a lawyer."
"She's always wanted to be a cop but after… after everything the last time, she decided that law is better."
"Well, she's still a cops daughter and her family is all cops it's understandable that she will want to be involved in getting justice for the victims."
"When she was little, Jerry use to read her the case files as bed time stories and after everyone she'll tell me that she wished that all the bad in the world would just go away. She knew that would never happen but she would always pray at bed time that the world would be a better place for everybody and that people would stop hurting each other."
"She sounds very smart. But what do you expect if you're raised by Sam and Sarah Swarek."
"Thank you, for everything. Andy I really love you!" Sam kissed her nose, "and I want to marry you and maybe one day have our own little McNally/Swarek running around. We have a permanent babysitter in Annabella as she would never want to leave the little rug rat."
"I would love that." Andy said back to Sam. "And I love you too."
With that Sam kissed Andy and after making out like teenagers for a while, Andy placed her head on Sam's shoulder and that's how the little family fell asleep that night.
And they found her and she fought back, looks like Sam and Sarah thought her well. I'm thinking about making this first part about 10 chapters and then if you think there's a story line for a part two let me know and I'll think about it.
