A/N: Awww,I love your reviews. "I'm lovin it" :P.


Martin noticed Sam walk into the office with Jack and couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger.

"Let's get started," Jack announced, "Danny I want you to look up that 1984 case with Martin."

"Where do you want me?" Sam asked.

"Uh," Jack hesitated. He looked over Sam's shoulder and saw Vivian walking in.

"I want you to have another session with Dr. Waters," Jack answered.

Sam crossed her arms.

"Why? I already did, twice."

"Please Sam, we're running out of options. You can do it here at the office."

Sam sighed. "Fine. Is Martin gonna be there?" Sam asked, trying, but failing, to sound casual.

"He's busy."

"Ok then, what about you?"

"Uh, I'm afraid I'm busy too, but I don't want you to do it alone, take Vivian with you."

Sam thought about it for a minute. "Ok," She replied, and went to talk to Vivian.

Jack walked over to Danny's desk. "Find anything yet?"

"Not yet, I came in early but I was catching up on paperwork."

Jack nodded, and called Martin over.

Martin spun his chair to where Jack and Danny were.

"Listen guys, I uh, I want you to come directly to me if and when you find anything useful," Jack said quietly.

Martin and Danny looked at each other, and then nodded.

"Sure thing Jack," Danny answered.

Jack walked away.

"I have a feeling we're gonna find something…"

"Bad?"

"Sure, for lack of a better word," Danny replied, "Ok, so let's go through this again."

"Ok. Jessica Stewart, age 17, found in an alley way near Micki's Bar. She was stripped naked, bruises on her arms and legs and evident signs of rape," Martin said.

"Her friends say she was out clubbing, and met some guy who I'm guessing was Rick," Danny added, "Cop heading the investigation was Officer Sean Ezric. His report's a mess.She was in a crowded area but he listed no suspects, no eye witness statements, this looks like sloppy detective work."

"Maybe we should pay him a visit," Martin suggested.

Danny shook his head and pulled out another piece of paper. "Well then I hope you're up for a visit to the graveyard cos I'm sure not going. Sean Ezric died 6 years ago, stroke."


"So how have you been dealing?" Vivian asked as they waited for Dr. Waters.

"I've been better, can't wait to put this all behind me," Sam replied.

"And, has Martin been helping you?" Vivian asked carefully.

Sam froze for a minute, knowing where this conversation was going.

"Yes he's been great, we're helping each other," Sam replied confidently.

"Ok then, good for you two."

"I know you don't approve, of Martin and I."

"No, you're right I don't, but it's got nothing to do with me," Vivian replied.

The room went back to silence. Sam sighed inwardly. This was exactly why she had wanted to keep her relationship with Martin a secret in the first place. She felt like everyone had lost their respect for her. She felt like everyone was talking behind her back about how she was sleeping her way through the team and Danny would be her next victim.

"Sam?" Dr. Waters asked, pulling Sam back down to Earth.

'when did she get here?' Sam thought.

"Are you ready?"

"Sure"

"It's good to see you again," Dr. Waters commented. Sam smiled politely.


"Ok," Martin said, "I'll look up on the girl's background."

"And I'll just sit back, twiddle my thumbs and wait for the sun to set," Danny replied.

"Why don't you try locating Rick?"

"How? We have nothing on this guy, it's as if he doesn't exist."

Martin sighed and got up.

He returned from the file room minutes later.

"Here," Martin said, dropping a file on Danny's desk, "Rick's file. He worked here for a coupe of years, there's gotta be something useful in there."

"We've already been through this like 5 times," Danny complained.

"Then go through it a sixth time."


"Samantha? Can you hear me?" Dr. Waters asked.

"Yes," She replied. All the blinds were down and the lights were off, making the room as dark as possible.

Sam was lying on the coach. "Tell me about your dream last night, I want you to relive that dream."

Sam took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Sam frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm talking, to Sean Ezric. I'm asking him something."

"What?"

"I-I'm not sure, but he's shaking his head, he, he's not even trying,"

"Is he saying anything?"

"He doesn't care"

"Who?"

"Sean Ezric, he doesn't care."

"When did he say he doesn't care?"

"He didn't, but I can tell, he doesn't care what happens to her"

Sam was getting restless.

"Samantha, who doesn't he care about?"

"I, he won't help her, why won't you help her?" Sam raised her voice.

"Samantha, deep breaths"

"You don't care, no one does, no one's doing anything, don't walk away from me!"

"Sam-"

"No," Sam shouted, and woke up, feeling suddenly embarrassed.


LATER THAT DAY

"Danny?" Martin asked, "Which high school did Sam go to?"

"Uh?"

"C'mon Danny think, she mentioned it a couple of weeks ago"

"I really don't remember"

"C'mon man," Martin insisted, "Black…"

Danny snapped his fingers, remembering.

"Black Field High! What about it?"

"Jessica Stewart went to the same high school, same year level as Sam," Martin informed.

"Sam knew her"


Martin and Jack went into Jack's office and filled him in on what they knew.

"And it was Sean Ezric who headed the investigation?" Jack asked.

Martin nodded.

"Ok guys, I think I see what's going on here. Just keep this to yourselves ok?"

Both nodded.

Jack looked up at the clock. "Ok guys, that's a wrap for today, go get some rest."


Sam tossed and turned in bed restlessly.

She was having that same dream again

A young Samantha stormed into and office, following a man.

"So what now?" She asked.

"What now?"

"What are you gonna do?"

"Nothing I can do sweetheart"

"You're a cop, there's plenty you can do," Sam shouted.

"Not this time"

"So you're giving up, just like that?" Sam could feel her eyes burning.

"Look kid, just let it go"

"Let it go? I can't just let it go. Jess was my best friend, I refuse to let it go!"

"There's nothing that can be done"

"I'll just have to do it myself then!" Sam said, and stormed out

Sam woke up, breathing hard.

"Oh, God"

"Sam, What's wrong?" Martin asked beside her.

"I remember"


A/N: I think the next chapter might focuse more about Martin and Sam's relationship(or lack thereof). What do you think? I am totally on Martin's side, but that's only coshe's so sexy:) Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I promise I will NOT do a cliffhanger... on the last chapter, which is soon coming.
