AN: Here's another update! It's kind of another filler chapter, but it has a little Andy and Sam, a little Andy and Levi and a little murder investigation, so all good things! Enjoy!

Chapter 21

Andy walked towards the door of the station after shift with her bag across her body. She was scrolling through a text on her phone.

"Hey McNally," said Sam's voice, causing her to look up from the small screen.

"Hey Swarek," Andy said with a smile, taking in his uniform, "Night shift?"

"You got it," Sam replied, hiking his bag higher on his shoulder, "How was your shift?"

"Good," Andy said with a nod, "Caught a purse snatcher, wrote five speeding tickets and drank way too much bad coffee," Andy said.

Sam let out a chuckle. "So you're saying it should be an exciting night, yeah?"

"Oh yeah," Andy laughed, rolling her eyes.

"What are you up to tonight?" Sam asked, taking in her dress and heels, "You look nice."

"Levi and I are going out to get dinner," Andy said with a smile.

"Sounds fun," Sam said with a nod, "Have a good night off."

"Have a good night on," Andy said with a smile. She stepped around him and made her way out of the door to the station and stepped out into the parking lot. She spotted Levi leaning against the side of his car and she smiled and walked towards him, her heels clicking on the pavement as she walked towards him.

"Hey beautiful," Levi said, pushing himself off of the side of his car. He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into an embrace. He pressed his lips to her forehead and then leaned back to look at her, "You look great," he said.

"You don't look so shabby yourself," Andy told him, "Come on," she said, "I'm hungry. Let's go get dinner?"

"Of course," Levi said. Andy walked around the car and slid into the passenger seat as Levi got in the driver's seat, "How was your day?" he asked her once he was on the road.

"It was good," Andy said, "Slow."

"How's your rookie?" Levi asked, "Chloe, right?"

"Yeah," Andy said, "She's good. I let her drive all day today and she didn't wrap the squad around any poles or anything, so that's good, right?"

"Always a plus," Levi said with a laugh, "Did that other guy finally ask her out?"

"Who, Dov?" Andy asked, "Not yet," Andy said with a laugh as he pulled into the parking lot at CB's. He parked and they both got out. He took her hand in his and they walked towards the main restaurant door.

"Hey Andy," Levi said as they ate their dinners.

"Mhm?" she asked

"I have something to talk to you about," he said hesitantly.

Andy looked up at him, wiping the corners of her mouth with her napkin. "What's wrong?" she asked him, her tone concerned.

"Nothing's wrong, necessarily," he said, picking up his glass of wine.

"What do you mean?" Andy asked.

"I got the promotion that I really wanted," he said after swallowing his mouthful of wine, "I'd put my name in for it about six months ago and I finally got the call yesterday afternoon."

"Good for you!" Andy exclaimed, "Congratulations. That's fantastic news!"

"Thanks," he said with a grin. He rubbed the back of his neck with his left hand. "There's a little problem though."

"Yeah?" Andy asked.

"Andy, the position is in Ottawa," Levi said with a frown.

"Oh," Andy said with a small frown.

"Yeah," Levi said, "So I'm not sure what to do."

"Are you crazy? Take the position!" Andy exclaimed, "If it's something you really want, then what's holding you back?"

"Honestly?" he asked, "You."

Andy swallowed some of her wine. "Why's that?" she asked.

"We're still getting a feel for this, whatever this is between us," Levi said, "And I don't want to leave right in the middle of that."

Andy raised a piece of steak to her mouth and chewed it thoughtfully, her eyes focused on Levi's. "You want this promotion?" Andy asked.

"It's a great opportunity Andy," he said, drinking some wine.

"Then you'd be crazy to turn it down," Andy said with an encouraging smile, "For any reason." She reached across the table and looped her fingers through his.

"Long distance relationships don't work," Levi said with a frown.

"What are you saying?" Andy asked.

"I don't know what I'm saying," Levi shook his head, gulping down more wine, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that you're a great guy and I have a lot of fun with you," Andy said, "And I would be open to a relationship with you. But, if you want this promotion, you would be an idiot if you stayed here because of me."

"So you're saying that whatever this is, we should break it off?" Levi asked.

"Maybe it would be the best option?" Andy said with a frown.

Levi was silent. "Okay," he settled on finally, "Well we still have some time to figure this out," he said, "I would start in two weeks, if I took the promotion."

They finished their meal in silence and once they had paid for their bill, they made their way to the door.

"You know," Andy said as the crossed the restaurant.

"What?" Levi asked.

"It sounds horrible and clichéd and stuff," Andy said with a small smile, "But I wouldn't mind being your friend."

"We can still be friends, is that what you're saying?" Levi asked with a chuckle, "What next? 'It's not you, it's me'?"

"Well it actually is you," Andy said, elbowing him in the ribs.

"You really want to be friends while I'm gone?" he asked.

"Yeah," Andy said, "Why not? You're a great guy and you make me laugh and you make me do things I never would try otherwise, and we don't have to be dating or seeing each other or whatever in order to enjoy that," Andy said, "Besides, I've heard you're an amazing dancer or something."

Levi chuckled. "Or something," he said.

"If you don't want to, that's more than okay," Andy said, holding up her hands, "I understand it if you don't."

"I didn't say that," Levi said with a small smile as he pushed the door open and held it open for Andy.

She stepped outside and sucked in a deep breath of fresh air. They were crossing towards Levi's car when something caught Andy's attention across the parking lot.

A brown Volvo, with the windows tinted and rust around the back tires.

Andy inhaled sharply. "Wait," she said suddenly.

"What?" Levi asked.

"I need to make a quick phone call," Andy explained.

"What?" he asked.

"I need five minutes, okay?" Andy asked.

"Okay?" Levi replied, confused before crossing the lot to his car.

Andy pulled out her cellphone and after deciding that Traci probably wouldn't answer her phone at this time of night, especially with Leo, dialled Luke's number. "Andy?" he asked after a few rings, "What's up?"

"The brown Volvo," Andy said.

"What about it?" Luke asked.

"I'm looking right at it," Andy said.

"What?" Luke asked sharply, "Where are you?"

"CB's," Andy said, "It's a restaurant and dance place on Carlaw and Dundas," Andy explained, "The car is in the lot."

"Can you get the full plate number?" Luke asked.

"Yeah," Andy said, "You have a pen?"

"Okay, go," Luke said.

"Alpha, Yankee, Delta, six, six, four," Andy recounted.

Alpha, Yankee, Delta, six, six, four?" Luke repeated.

"That's it," Andy said.

"Okay great. I'm going to get a ghost car to drive down there now to keep an eye on the car and where it goes to while I run these plates. Could you stay there with it until the car gets there?" Luke asked.

"Yeah sure," Andy said, glancing towards Levi's car where he sat in the front seat, eyes on her, "Let me know what name you get back."

"Will do," Luke said, "Good work McNally. Does Traci know?"

"Her phone is going straight to voicemail. She's got Leo tonight. She'll know tomorrow," Andy said.

"Okay good. Thanks," Luke said before hanging up.

Andy crossed the parking lot towards Levi's car and slid into the passenger seat.

"You ready to go now?" Levi asked her.

"Not yet," Andy said, "Sorry, that was a work call. I just saw a car that may be involved in a case that we're working on, so I had to call it in. They want me to keep an eye on it until a car comes up to follow it."

"So we're on a stakeout now?" Levi chuckled.

"Not entirely," Andy said with a laugh, "Just keeping an eye on evidence."

"Maybe I should become a cop. I do enough of it for free with you," Levi laughed, shutting off the engine of his car.

Andy let out a laugh as well. "Thanks for being so understanding," she said sincerely, reaching over to squeeze his leg.
