I received an overwhelming amount of reviews and comments. I bow and curtsy to all of you. I thank you all it means a lot, I read them all and see what you guys are seeing and want to see, so I do read them over and over. Thank you again for reading! I ask you to take another deep breath and enjoy!


Sharon walks out of her room and sees Rusty's backpack in the living room. She frowns. He didn't go with Andy.

"Rusty?" She calls softly.

"In the kitchen." She closes her eyes and lets out a small puff of air. She was annoyed that he was there, because that meant either Andy left without him or Rusty refused to go. That meant one of them was hurt.

She walks in and finds him eating a bowl of cereal. She looks at him and she wasn't sure but her glare must of shown furry and anger because he quickly begins excusing himself.

"Before you start, I didn't even talk to him. I know I shouldn't be rude, but I really didn't want to talk to him Sharon." He explained himself calmly.

Andy must have left devastated. He asked to spend time with Rusty and he didn't even say hello? Why was she worrying about it. She finally felt the exhaustion rush over her again.

"You have ten minutes, if not your leaving with the officer downstairs." She says quickly serving herself coffee.

"You're not mad?" He stands up worried. He had prepared himself for a speech of how Andy was always going to be there for him, he knows she's not okay.

"No. Not mad." She says shortly and walks to her bedroom with her coffee in hand.

She stops in the hallway closet and pulls out a suitcase, Rusty watches her frowning and follows her as she disappears into her bedroom. She sets the coffee mug down and goes into her closet and comes back out empty handed. Rusty appears at her door but she doesn't notice him. He watches her open the drawers and pull a pile of clothes out and put it in the suitcase but takes it out immediatley and returns it to the drawers. And slams it shut. She leans into the dresser taking a deep breath. She zips up the empty suitcase and puts it on the ground.

She couldn't pack him up, she didn't want him gone. What is happening to my life? She shakes her head and stops herself from crying.

"I'll put it away." Rusty says slowly. She looks up at him, he expects tears but he can only see disappointment and loss in her eyes. He is sure that the dissapoint is meant for him and not Andy. "The clothes in the suitcase or the empty suitcase in the closet? Just tell me which one." He says softly.

"The empty suitcase in the closet, please." He nods and puts it away, he returns with her still leaning onto her bed. His backpack on.

"I'm ready whenever you are." She nods and walks out of her room. Sharon knew she needed to have a brave face on for Rusty but she also knew she had no way of faking a smile at this moment and that Rusty wouldn't appreciate her forcing it either.

They move silently all the way to the parking lot. And even the car drive is silent. The radio usually filled moments like these but for some reason it too was silent.

"Sharon." She jumps almost as if she hadn't even expected Rusty to be there anymore. "Sorry." He says softly. She hears the weight that this apology carried it wasn't simply for frightening her but for much more.

"What is it?" She says shortly, she didn't mean for it to come out this way but it had and she was too tired to explain and apologize.

"He's moving out?" Rusty says quickly and softly, not looking at her.

"Well he never officially moved in, but to answer the question you're asking. Yes he's taking his things but I need to pack them." She says plainly running her hand through her hair.

"It wasn't his choice?" Rusty questions her, he can hear it in her voice, she was upset at herself more then with Andy. She was upset more at him then at Andy. She was tired and overworked and none of it had to do with Andy.

"I don't feel like talking about it." She says quickly. What do I tell him? That I took it all out on Andy because it was the only thing I felt I had control over.

"That's no fair, we've been sharing this secret from the beginning and now.." She cuts him off.

"Life's not fair Rusty. And I'm not going to talk about it right now." She stops at his school and he gets out of the car and slams the door. She closes her eyes. Patience. I need patience. I need sleep.

She arrives at the murder room. Everyone there but Andy, she looks around and frowns and then looks at Provenza. He catches her eye and he shrugs. He was running late? But he left a long time ago. Something is wrong. No everything is okay he's just trying to test you. She sits down and starts signing paperwork. As the minutes of the first hour pass she keeps glancing over to his desk but he never appears. She picks up her phone. It rings but no answer. She suddenly feels nauseous, she waits but no call back. She stands up dialing his number again and walks to the murder room, the phone is ringing.

"Has anyone heard from Lieutenant Flynn?" She ask from her office.

"He doesn't answer Captain." Provenza calls back, the call goes to voicemail. And she suddenly feels anxious.

"Lieutenant Provenza please make a house call." He frowns.

"Captain he may be running late." He says calmly as she walks closer to him.

She looks around the room. They are all watching her careful. You can make sure Andy's okay. Or you can wait and see.

"I saw him about two an a half hours ago, he was coming here after dropping Rusty off at school but he didn't, I did so he should have been here before me." They all remain silent. It feels like a heavy load of her chest finally being a little honest and open with those she interacts with everyday.

"Sykes come with me." Provenza calls, she stands up immediately.

Sharon lets out a deep breath. "Thank you, I'm going back to my place. If any of you get a call please call my cell." They all nod. She walks after Sykes and Provenza.

"Captain, you think he's hurt or hiding out." She didn't know, she just had a bad feeling.

"I hope for none of those, really Lieutenant. The first for obvious reasons and the second because I'll hurt him myself." She says seriously, Provenza snorts a laugh, Sykes smiles, Sharon nervously dials him again.

"Captain, you saw him this morning?" Sykes asks, Sharon curses under her breath at no answer and hanging up again. Then looking at Sykes.

"Oh Sykes give it a rest, we all know." Provenza says grumpily.

Sykes frowns. "Yes, yes. Well yes." She keeps walking at their pace but looks at Sharon, then shakes her head almost as if trying to clear an image. "Yes I know but. That's another topic." Sharon looks at her carefully. She didn't care? "Was he angry or upset Captain?"

"Not angry but upset maybe, yes. Why?" She stops at her car and looks at Sykes.

"Just might give us a reason as to why he's hiding." She says hopeful, Sharon smiles at her almost thanking her. They seperate into their cars and agree that they'll call if they find him.

She hits speaker and calls Andy again as she pulls out of the driveway. No answer. "Dammit Sharon, if he's hurt it's your fault." She shouts at herself. No he's not hurt, he's just being immature. He's okay, he has to be okay. "Please let him be okay." She says out loud softly.

Sharon arrives at her place, his usual parking spot empty she runs upstairs and doesn't find him. She had some weird twisted idea that he'd come in and pack up his things while she was out. It wasn't until she was standing in her empty condo that she realized how folish the idea really was. Her phone rings, she scrambles for it.

"Lieutenant, please tell me you found him." She says anxiously.

"No Captain, I guess he's not on your end either." Provenza's voice now sounding worried.

"No, are you sure he's not there? I should have given you my key." She says annoyed at herself.

"No, Captain he's not here, his car isn't outside and I still took the chance and broke in." He says softly.

"You broke in?" She says a little amused.

"He has a cheap lock." He says easily. "Sykes says maybe he ran away no clothes in his room." She can hear Provenza's playful tone. She shakes her head at herself for smiling.

"That Lieutenat is at my end." Provenza chuckles. "I'll meet you back at the murder room. Thank you." Her smile clears quickly. She knew Andy and he wouldn't run away for a fight, there was something more but she was afraid of finding out because something was certainly not alright.

As Sharon arrives at the murder room Buzz, Sanchez and Tao are all gathered and turn to her quickly.

"Anything?" She asks through a hopeful breath, they shake her head.

"Captain what makes you think somethings not right?" Tao asks.

She throws up her hands and looks at Andy's desk. "Just that he's not here Lieutenant." He smiles softly. And she looks down at her phone.

Provenza and Sykes walk in, they all face them quickly. They shake their heads. Sharon frowns, she looks at her phone and dials again, no response. She walks to her office with all of them looking at her.

"Lets find him." Provenza says still looking at Sharon. "Send out a report in his name and liscensce plates." They all frown.

"You heard the Captain it's only been about three hours." Buzz says, the only one brave enough to admit that they be using the system to their advantage.

"So its Andy," Provenza says frustrated. "Make the call Sanchez?" He says quickly, sinking into his chair.

"Yes sir." Sanchez picks up the phone and dials quickly. No one says anything.

At that moment Provenza's phone rings, Sanchez doesn't stop the others look at him and Sharon walks out of her office. Looking at him hopeful. It's okay if he didn't call me as long as he's okay.

Provenza hangs up, "we have two bodies in gang territory. Chief Taylor says he's trying to call you Captain but only gets a busy signal." She nods.

"Alright lets go. Detective Sanchez?" She looks at him he hold up his hand and points to his phone.

She looks at Provenza. "He's calling in a report for Andy," they all look at her concerned and worried.

"Thanks just what I was about to ask him to do." She says quickly. No one says a thing, she was bending the rules and she didn't care.

She walks to her office and comes back quickly with her things, she suddenly feels alone, Andy was the one that always drove with her. They all seem to understand her.

"Captain I an go with you?" Provenza says.

"No, you stay with Detectie Sykes, I can manage the drive on my own." She says faking a smile. "Detective Sanchez, what happened with that call?" She asks as they all get on the elevator.

"They listed him Captain, if anything is to come up they'll call Lieutenant Provenza." She frowns at him. "He asked." Sanchez says quickly trying to defend himself.

"Lieutenant?" She needed an explanation for what, she wasn't sure. But she wanted someone to explain something to her since the only explanation she really wanted seemed to be far off from reaching her. Where is Andy?

"If for some reason some thing is wrong," her stomach goes sour. I think I should take the call." He says gently. She doesn't say anything.

They all get into their cars and arrive at the crime scene. Two teenagers dead on the sidewalk outside the younger ones home.

"Captain, this isn't gang to gang retaliation." Sanchez tells her.

"Why do you say that?" She steps closer to him.

"You have eight homes," he points at all of the eight it makes a circle around the neighborhood, "twelve gang members live inside of them not including these two. If they here one gun shot they'd swarm this lot." He makes a circle motion again, she follows his points and gazes. "Not just them but anyone inside the homes that have a gun." He stops and squats by the bodies. Five shots were fired Captain, this was done by foot, not a drive by." He points down the trail of the sidewalk and she looks down it. Imagining the killer just walking away.

"You're telling me that all these people were in on it?" She looks back down at him and he stands.

"It's a possibility Captain." He removes his gloves watching her.

"A possibility?" She asks.

"I'm sure Captain." He says more directly.

"Alright, anyone you can pull from the inside to talk too?" Sanchez squinted at her almost shocked that she believed him that quickly.

"He's in prison Captain, but he still runs this place from the inside, his name is Diablo. He crouches down again putting on his gloves and pulling a sheet off of the youngest boy. "Luis Luna's, aka Diablito's older brother." He covers him again. Sharon shakes her head.

"You can't possibly think..." She felt even more nauseous.

"Yes, to save himself Captain he'd even kill his mother." Sharon froze at his words.

"Alright Sanchez, you have my permission, if he's willing to kill to save himself, maybe he's willing to talk." Sanchez nods.

Provenza's phone rings. She turns around and finds him not far off and sees that he pulls it out an frowns, she walks closer to him. Sanchez does too.

"Lieutenant Provenza." He answers.

He is silent and looks at Sharon immediatley. Somethings wrong. He frowns deeply his brows holding concern.

"How is he?" Provenza says calmly. Sharon reaches to try and grab hold of Sanchez. Sanchez reacts before her because he meets her hand.

"Thank you." Provenza says and he hangs up.

"Lieutenant." Sharon says amost as if a call for help escaped her lips.

"Captain, please don't worry." Now I'm more worried. Provenza walks closer to her, frowning even in his eyes.

"Lieutenant?" Sanchez says almost upset that he's being so careful.

Buzz, Sykes and Tao see them all surrounded and move closer.

"Captain, Andy had a car accident." Sharon's heaviness and burdens suddenly seem to multiply by a hundred her knees buckle, Sanchez holds her up. She closes her eyes giving her other hand to Sykes, they all watch Provenza.

"How is he?" Tao finally says the words no one else seems to be able to pronounce. Provenza shakes his head. Sharon opens her eyes and sees him shaking his head and an ache in his eyes.

"Lieutenant!" She says forcefully letting go hold of Sykes, Sanchez realeses her too.

"He's not in good shape." Not in good shape? What does that mean. "But he's stable."

But stable? None of this was making any sense to her. Just over a week ago she was worrying about Rusty's behavior when she found out he was still receiving threatening letters, officers are following Rusty all day and standing guard outside her home making it harder for her and Andy to find a possibility of making there relationship real even at home. Yesterday they were being playful in the office, while he promised her a relaxing night so she could rest after feeling so exhausted, but Jack shows up, Andy finds Jack forcing her to kiss him Andy gets upset and leaves, she runs after him, Rusty is upset too, he still leaves, Jack tells her he loves her, Andy is there in the morning, but she sends him away, Rusty is still mad and doesn't go to school with Andy. And she arrives to Andy missing at the office and now Provenza's telling her he had a car accident. This couldn't be happening.

"How can this be happening?" She whispers to herself but everyone hears her they all frown and shift in their spots and she finally lets out a shattering breath. Sanchez holds her again. It is happening.

"Lieutenant Provenza please take over, what hospital is he at?" She finally jumps into her senses and starts moving away.

"Captain, you should stay, I'll go." He says stepping in front of her.

"Lieutenant?" Sanchez says again frustrated, he could feel Sharon's hold deep in his arm.

"There is still a crime scene here," Sharon looks back at the two boys on the ground and up at the others, "please take over." She looks a him almost begging him with her eyes, Provenza nods.

She tries letting go of Sanchez hold. "Captain, let me drive you." Sanchez says quickly not letting go of her hand. She looks at him in his eyes. She sees his worry, she feels like crying for the first time.

"No we cant lose another officer and you know best about this." She says softly smiling at him.

"Captain, I'll take you and come back." He says stepping with her, for a moment she felt like his worry ran deeper than that of a Detective and Captain relationship.

"Captain, he's taking you." Provenza says from beside them. She looks over and he's already walking away.

"Alright thank you." She looks back at Sanchez.

She tries letting go of Sanchez but he doesn't let go of her arm. She's actually grateful, she isn't sure she would make it without her body giving out on her. She had already been feeling weak and tired and now things were not registering in her mind, her body was betraying her. He walks her to her car and opens the passanger car door. He rushes to the driver side and quickly buckles in Sharon hands him the keys.

"Detective?" She says softly.

"Captain, please use Julio right now." He says already driving off.

"Julio, please ignore speed limits and lights," he can't help but smile.

"Yes, Captain." She feels him accelerate rapidly. "Sirens Captain." She nods and he puts the light up and turns on the sirens.

Please let him be okay. "Please." She says outloud.
Sanchez looks over at her quickly.

"Captain?" He says quietly.

"Hmm." She says not being able to say anything else.

"Prayer it's more powerful when you do it together. Remember?" She smiles remembering the time they prayed in church together and nods. He holds out one of his hands and she takes it a tear slowly running down her eye. Sanchez drives quickly, Sharon closes her eyes and they pray together.
