Chapter 9
"What did you do" Sam teased as Andy rolled her eyes at his comment, both were still smiling as they entered and noticed Superintendent Peck sitting in Frank's chair but their smiles quickly dropped as they spotted a figure in the corner, it was none other than Boyd.
Andy felt the anger she had kept locked away against Boyd all come bubbling back to the surface when she seen him standing there in the corner of Frank's office with a smug look on his face and just that look itself caused Andy to explode;
"You son of a bitch, what's with the smirk huh? You nearly cost us everything just because you were too selfish to pass on an urgent message! You nearly cost Sam a chance at being a father to his child! And you near cost us our relationship" By this point Andy was right in Boyd's face, the whole division could hear and see everything as no-one had closed the door at this point but what shocked everyone including Boyd was when Andy slapped Boyd's face so hard he nearly cried out at the pain it was at this moment when Sam quickly pulled Andy away from him not wanting her to get into trouble over that piece of trash;
"Andy you need to calm down before you get into trouble" Sam said quietly as he made her sit in a chair;
"Sam's right Andy sit down and relax as it's not good for your baby. Now since we've got that out the way let's get started as to why you both were called up here" Superintendent Peck said much to the shock of the other 4 people in the room as she never even mentioned about Andy's anger or slap at Boyd much to his annoyance;
"You're not even going to yell at her or anything for the way she reacted to her superior officer! Boyd shouted but Superintendent Peck was having none of it;
"Under the circumstances I'll let it slide you got it" she said in a tone that had Boyd backing down straight away as he knew he was in enough trouble. "Now getting down to the point as to why you have been called up here, you've probably guessed that it's got to do with Detective Boyd and yourselves with regards to the phone call that took place in this office 5 months ago and also the confrontation that happened between Detective Boyd and Officer Swarek just over a week ago" Andy's eyes shot up from looking down at her hands and jumped between Sam and Superintendent Peck, she had no idea what the boss was talking about Sam had never mentioned anything happening between him and Boyd;
"What confrontation Ma'am?" Andy asked wondering what was going on; Sam sighed and hung his head he should have told her straight away;
"It was that night in the Penny when you said you were taking a week off, it happened after you left. Boyd admitted to me that he never passed on the message as he didn't think it was important he thought it was just your way of getting me back. Our friend's heard him too" Sam said looking straight into Andy's eyes as he spoke wanting her to see that he was sorry for not telling her sooner. Andy sat there staring at him in shock he knew all along and yet still never told her; she had to find out by overhearing a conversation. Frank moving slightly to the side of her brought her back to where she was and she sighed;
"It's fine let's just forget about it for now" she said to Sam in a tone that he knew that they would be discussing this later, at his nod Superintendent Peck took that as her sign to continue;
"Ok so anyway Detective Boyd will no longer be head Detective of the Guns and Gangs unit, this isn't the first time something like this has been brought to my attention regarding messages from loved ones to their partner's that are undercover so as from today there is a space for a Promotion" she said with a smile and a twinkle in her eye as she looked between Sam and Andy who looked at her with confusion written all over their faces;
"And what does that have to do with us Ma'am?" Sam asked motioning between himself and Andy. Boyd also looked on wondering why the promotion was being brought up now and why Swarek and McNally were asked here in the first place;
"Officer Swarek the promotion is being offered to you" Superintendent Peck said and just like that the office fell silent everyone stunned at what had just come out of their bosses mouth, even Frank as he never knew about this either;
"No way in hell! Boyd practically shouted "Why would you give my job to him, god sake he lost all feelings for undercover work as soon as he set eyes on that rookie!" Boyd was yelling at this point and Andy was grateful to whoever closed the door as she could see Sam was about to explode and just as she thought that, he did;
"That rookie as you so nicely call her is the person I love more than anything, going to have a baby with and going to spend the rest of my life with. And she is 10 times the cop you ever will be" Sam was now in Boyd's face and you could feel the tension building with every passing second;
"Sam take a walk and clear your head, you can tell Superintendent Peck your decision when you're ready there's no rush" Frank said for the first time since both Sam and Andy entered the office he told Superintendent Peck he would only step in if need be and that time was now as he didn't want anything to happen with Sam's temper in front of the boss. Sam sighed and stormed out of the office ignoring the looks from fellow officers as he made his way towards the men's locker room. Andy sat there stunned for a second, would Sam leave the division? Would Sam take the job? So many thoughts were going round her head she couldn't think straight;
"I'll talk to him and let you know" Andy said as she stood from the chair she was sitting in, Frank nodded and motioned for her to leave and for that Andy was grateful not wanting to spend another minute in there.
Sarah had seen the whole exchange happening from her vantage point just outside the station and was wondering what was being said, just as she stepped foot through the door she saw Sam coming storming out of the office, she called out to him but he just kept walking in the direction of the men's locker room she guessed. Not a minute later she saw Andy come down the steps and quickly hurries over to her;
"Andy what happened? Sam looks real angry" Sarah asks as she pulls Andy to the side slightly so no-one can over hear, Andy sighed she had forgotten all about Sarah;
"God Sarah I'm sorry I forgot all about you being here, he's just angry at Boyd and his stupid comments" Andy said a bit harsher than she intended but Sarah nodded she had heard stuff from Sam about Boyd over the years and also a lot from Andy the past week so she understood why her brother was angry with that man. Raised voices from behind them caused both women to turn in that direction, Sarah saw who she guessed to be the bosses and along with a man that looked just as angry as Sam and she guessed that to be Boyd. Sarah nudged Andy's arm and Andy caught the mischievous glint in Sarah's eye and wondered what she was up to but shock seemed to take over Andy once again as Sarah called out causing everyone in the station to look in their direction;
"Detective Boyd" Sarah called out not fazed in the slightest that the whole division was watching, Boyd turned round and looked confused at the person who had just called out to him; "Sarah Swarek I believe you know my brother Sam Swarek and my future sister-in-law Andy McNally" she asked as Boyd just nodded and Sarah continued "yeah well you're an ass" and with that she took Andy by the hand and dragged her towards her friends who had burst out laughing, Sarah looked over her shoulder and smirked as she left a gobsmacked Boyd behind.
Sorry for the delay in uploading chapter 9 but here it is and I hope you enjoy. So what will Sam's decision be and can he and Andy talk things through together? Find out in chapter 10 that will be up soon.
