Chapter 12 - Duck tape and Rope


For once, Andy was the first one to wake up. She was lying in their bed, just looking at her ring. The ring Sam had slid onto her finger a few days ago. He really did know her, she thought, thinking that this ring was her.

She was happy. Really, really happy, and as her hands automatically found her belly under the covers, cupping it in her hands, making a protective shield, she thought that this, was something she never really knew she wanted, until Sam was the one that gave it to her. Her. A girl, who soon would be lying between them, warm and safe. They would do everything to protect her from the bad sides of the world. Even before she was born, Andy knew that she would go through fire for her baby. It was unbelievable how much she loved something that wasn`t even here yet. Looking at Sam, she knew how luck she was.


Carefully, she slid out of the bed, put her robe on and silently patted down to the kitchen.

As Andy was about to pour coffee in to mugs, she felt to warm hands finding their way to her belly.

"Good morning beautiful", Sam said kissing her neck.

"I was going to bring you coffee in bed", she said back, facing him.

"This is so much better", Sam said pulling her even closer, kissing her.

"Sam, we don`t have time for any of this", Andy explained, trying to lose herself from his grip. This, him trying to get on with her in the morning, was something she loved, even though they didn`t always have time to finish it.

"We always have time for this, Andy". And with that he lifted her up on the kitchen counter. The effect he had on her, made her find place for him between her legs.

"Coffee is getting cold Sam, and we need to leave for work in 45 minutes", she said between kisses and demanding touches. "I promise though, that we`ll continue this after shift".

Sam made a gap between them and looked at her. "Who sais we need to be off shift? We have several rooms at the station that are perfectly fine". He smirked at her pulling her robe apart, making her cleavage pop out for him.

"No, Sam. Need I remind you about the last time you tried to get your way with me in interrogation room 4?"

"That was fun, wasn`t it?", Sam laughed, finding his way underneath Andy`s top.

He defiantly remember that day. A few months ago, they were on night shift. It was a slow shift, with almost nothing to do besides paperwork and old reports that was in lack of description.


It had started with a text Sam had send her, asking what color her underwear was. She wanted to tease him a little, and answered with "who's says I`m wearing any?". From that it escalated, and before she knew it, he had discreet managed to drag her with him into a interrogation room. The thing was, the automatic lock didn`t work, and just as he was un buckling her pants, the door opened and Gail Peck stood there looking at them. Although she was quick to close the door and leave, she had seen more than she wanted too. Soon, the entire division knew that McSwarek was trying to "get it on" in interrogation room 4.


"Good Morning staff! Today is all about being out there, being visible, interact with the people and try to make a difference". Oliver Shaw was straight with his words as he welcomed his staff in parade.

"We want the people of Toronto to know that we are out there. We want to show them that we are people too. Talk to them, interact, make a joke, I don`t care. Just stay visible and remember, you are all representing the 15 division. Partners and task locations are on the board. So, serve, protect and make a difference. Now, get out of here".

"Hey, Andy!" Sam called after his fiancé as she was leaving. "Please be careful out there. You know I hate for you being out on the streets".

"Sam! Okay...just... I know you only want to look out for me, protect me and what not, but please just let me do my job for the remaining time I have before I`m stuck on a desk. I`m always careful, I`m not riding alone you know".

" I know.. just...be careful?" He pulled her in for a gentle kiss. "See you after shift".

Sam watched her leave. God! He hated her still being out patrolling the streets. He just wanted to protect her from everything. Knowing that he couldn`t. He was really looking forward to her being behind the desk. That way, he could watch her from the D`s office, look out for her and make sure she was okay.


Downtown, at Garrison Park, several squad cars were parked. This was a though neighborhood, and being visible was important. At the basketball court, that clearly was the center of the park, hundreds of people were gathered. Some playing, others watching, dancing to music that came from the many boom blasters.

The officers of 15 division were talking to the people, interacting and being a part of their day. While talking to Dov, Andy noticed a guy she knew, by helping him through some issues a few years back. She made her way towards him.

"Jionnie Macy! How`s the world treating you these days?" A tall guy wearing saggy jeans, a hoodie and a caps turned around at the somewhat familiar female voice. Clearly he was happy to see Andy.

"Officer McNally? Wow!" He gave Andy a sincere hug. "I see the worlds is treating you pretty well too?" Jionnie Macy said, nodding towards her baby bump.

"Oh, you know, some lucky guy sealed his deal with me", Andy said laughing.

"Who`s is the lucky guy? Do I know him? Please don`t tell me it`s that Callaghan guy?"

"Hah! No, that is not the case! You actually know him. Remember Officer Swarek? Well, he is Detective Swarek now, that is".

"No freaking way! He got the deal with you?" Andy laughed and nodded.

"How is your sister Jionnie? Andy got a more serious look on her face.

A few years back, there was a case involving Jionnie and Samaria Macy. Samaria was caught up in some trafficking, where they were getting shipped on a semi trailer to New York. Because she was in debt to one of the "leaders", and didn`t have the money to pay back, there really was no other option. Jionnie Macy was out of options to help his sister, so when a bank robbery went wrong, he caught Andy`s attention. That turned out to be the one of the biggest trafficking cases the 15 division had seen, and they cracked the trafficking operation wide open. With no parents around, and being under aged, Andy managed to get the siblings into a group home. Unfortunately, Samaria didn`t do so well as her brother.

"She`s great! Actually... No, I don`t know why I just said that... umh..she killed herself two years ago. I found her in the bathroom.. You know pills and stuff".

"I`m so sorry Jionnie". Andy touched his arm gently.

"Yeah, you know shit like she went through apparently does that to you".

"Jionnie, you have my number and my card, please call me any time you need".

"Thanks Officer". As he pulled her in for a friendly hug, he heard someone call out his name.

"Yo! Jionnie, are we hugging cops now?" Jionnie and Andy turned around.

"Who are they?" Andy asked, looking at Jionnie.

"They are the Westside Crocks, also known as the Cop Killers".

Andy signaled to Dov that she wanted someone to back her up.

"What do you want Clay?", Jionnie said as he stepped forward, trying to shield Andy behind him.

"You know what I want, I want what`s mine". Clay from Westside Crocks, looked from Jionnie to Andy.

"Actually, how bout I get her", he said pointing at Andy.

"And you are stepping on our territory man". There was always this ongoing fight between Jionnie and his crew against the Westside Crocks about the Garrison Park field. Both claiming it their own.

Dov, Chris, Gail, Chloe and Oliver came up to them.

"Okay, guys, break it off! Take your boys and leave", Oliver said at Clay pointing on the guys behind him.

Before Andy could think she put herself between Jionnie and Clay. Not thinking about how stupid that was.

"Officer McNally, stay away from this". Jionnie`s voice was clear, knowing what Clay and his crew was capable of.

Out of nowhere, Clay was on Jionnie, making Andy fall back to the ground.

"BREAK IT OFF!" Oliver stepped up, making a barrier between the two crews. "Leave now, or I will bring you all in", he yelled at the Westside Crocks.

"Andy! Are you okay? Chloe kneeled down besides her.

"Yeah, I`m fine... I think". Andy was shaking. The fear had gotten to her. Chloe helped her up and walked her to the squad car.

Oliver came up to them. "McNally, I want you back at the station now. Don`t argue with me. I made a promise to Sammy. This is me holding on to that promise".

Andy knew her inner battle was officially over. No more putting rookie in danger. From now on it was pure and simple. Desk duty.


Back at the station, Sam noticed Oliver and the other officers standing in the corridor talking. Something was up he thought as he made his way out of the office.

"Oliver, what`s going on?"

"Sammy, brother, before you say anything, she`s fine".

"What are you talking about? Where is she?". Oliver filled Sam in on the crew encounter, but didn`t get to finish before Sam was practically running towards the women`s locker room.

"Andy? He found her sitting down at the bench, covering her belly. He knew she had shed a few tears, as her chin was wet.

"Honey, are you okay? He put his arms around her.

" I`m sorry, okay? You were right, and you have been all along. It`s over, I know."

Sam cupped her face in his hands, kissing her forehead.

"Sam, I got scared. Today, I really got scared. I blinked, didn`t think, and baam! I was in the middle of it".

"Andy..."

"No, Sam, today was my last shift patrolling the streets. I knew this day would come. I just kept shoving it away. There really is no way going back on this one".

Sam pulled her close, and closed his eyes. A wave of relief flushed over him, making him pull her even closer.


Andy and Sam left the locker room and made their way towards the kitchen area.

"Sit down Andy", Sam said with a firm voice.

"I`m making you something to eat. Here take this first". He handed her a glass of orange juice.

She smiled at him, saying thank you.

"Eat this", Sam said as he placed a sandwich in front of her and sat down with her.

"After you have eaten this, I want you to go see your doctor Andy. I`m sure everything is fine, but just to be sure..."

"Sam, I`m okay, really. If something is wrong, I know I will feel it".

"Fine, but I want you to help me for the rest of the day. I need to look after you for a bit".

"Sam... I.."

"No, don`t argue with me on this one. I just... need you to stick with me okay. You scared me today too". As he leaned in and gave her a light kiss, Oliver walked in.

"McNally, how are you feeling? Everything okay?"

"Yepp, she answered, popping the p. I`m perfectly fine".

"I want you to go home. Take the rest of the day off. Relax, take a nap, whatever. Oh, and I take it we won't be having a discussion whether you are going on desk duty from now on or not?".

"Nope. We won`t. But I don`t need to go home".

"Not up for discussion McNally". Oliver smiled and left the kitchen area.

"Andy, you okay driving home alone? I`ll get Oliver to drop me off after shift. Just go home, crawl into bed and relax, okay?"

"Yes detective. I will. See you at home then?". Andy got up from the chair and gave Sam a kiss before she left.


On her way home, Andy stopped by Longo`s Supermarket. She found a shopping cart and made her way through the store as she filled up the cart.

As she stood by the aisle with cleaning products, she got the feeling that someone was watching her. She wanted to turn around, but she didn`t. Instead she got what she needed and moved towards the ice cream.

Still, she couldn`t shake off the feeling that someone was following her. She put a box of pistachio and chocolate chip ice cream in the cart and headed for the cashier that was available.

Adam Lewinsky watched her pay for her groceries and head out of the store, walking towards her car. Quickly he paid for the duck tape and rope before he left the store.

He made his way towards the car that he had parked in front of Andy`s. He managed to get a good look at her before she drove away. He wanted to go after her so bad. Just seeing her, made his head spin and his heart beat faster. She was defiantly something.

But he knew it wasn`t time yet. Soon though, he would be able to fulfill his biggest dreams.


Adam locked himself into his apartment 20 minutes later. Putting the rope and duck tape in a see-trough box, he knew he had all the necessary equipments ready.

He sat in front of his computer and printed out the photos he had manage to take of Andy. Looking at them, he knew there was no way going back. This was something he simply had to do.


Dinner at Sam and Andy`s house later that day was silent. So silent, it made Sam think something was up. He looked at her, noticing she had barely touched her food, and she had this look on her.

"Andy?" She looked up at Sam smiling lightly at him.

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah, all good. I`m fine"

"You don`t look fine. I can tell that something is bothering you. Come on, spit it out".

She got up and took her plate to the trash can under the sink on the kitchen island. She cleared her plate and put it in the dishwasher.

"I just...at the store today, I got this feeling that someone was watching me". She leaned on the kitchen island with both arms. " It was probably nothing, but I can`t let it go Sam".

She couldn`t. It made her so uncomfterable, that she made sure every window and door was locked the minute she got home earlier.

"I wanted to turn and look, but I didn`t. I just... kept going". She got Sam plate as well. Cleared it an put it in the dishwasher.

"Andy, come here". She went over to him, allowing him to pull her down on his lap.

"Andy, I`m not saying you should start to worry, but I know you. You have a strong gut, and I know this feeling you have won`t just go away".

"Sam, I even locked all the windows and doors when I got home today. I must be losing it."

"If you ever get this feeling again, you call me. If not, call someone else, and as for the windows and doors, we`ll just keep them locked for a while, just to be sure".

He put his arms around Andy, holding onto her. He didn`t want to, but he started thinking about the guy he and Traci visited a month ago. There was something about him. Ever since, he had been looking thorough into his case file. Although Oliver told him, it couldn`t be his first priority case, he just couldn`t let it go. He needed to talk to Traci again.

"How bout I run you a bath Andy? Relax for a while. It will do you good".

"Thank you Sam. I`ll just clean up and I`ll be right up".


As Adam picked up his camera and zoomed in on their bedroom, he noticed the him. He went to the bathroom, leaving the door open. He was filling the bathtub with water. A guy that takes a bath? How manly of him, Adam Lewinsky thought.

Where was she? Adam wondered. That guy was not in his interest. He only wanted her. And then she walked in. Wearing dark blue jeans, and a white tight sweater, she looked stunning. He watched her open the closet, taking out some clothes and putting them on the bed. The bed she shared with him.

He felt an anger built up inside as he watched him, coming up behind her, placing his arms around her waist and kissing her neck. He saw his lips move. Most likely, he said something to her. She smiled and turned around, facing him. He zoomed in a little more. She lifted her arms up, allowing him, to pull her sweater over her head, exposing her bare skin and growing bump. Not only to him, but also for Adam Lewinsky to see. Then she un buttoned her jeans, leaving her in her underwear. The guy in front of her covered her body in a dark purple towel and then they walked into the bathroom together. Just as Adam snapped the last photo, the bathroom door shut.

"Damn it!" Adam said out loud, slamming his fist on the steering wheel. This show may be over for today, but just wait, Adam thought as he drove away...


I hope you like this story so far. I know many of you think Adam Lewinsky is creepy, and begs me not to hurt Andy and the baby, but this story need the excitement.

Stay tuned.

Love, J
