"Can I drive?" Anderson asked Andy as she turned down a road.

"No."

"You do know I am a Legacy right?"

"Do I look as though I care?" Andy retorted with a hard edge to her voice.

"You don't like me very much do you?"

"I don't know you well enough to like or dislike you. I don't trust you, but it is my job to make sure that we both make it home tonight. So if you do what I tell you to, not what you think is the right thing to do, then we might just make it."

"I know this job. I have trained for it. My parents were cops."

"Do you know what it's like to be shot? Do you know what it's like to talk a suicidal person of a ledge? Have you ever had to perform CPR on a 15 year old girl who has taken a drug overdose, or feed a jerky cat when the owner, who you rescued from a burning car, died on route to hospital and who you thought would be alright? Have you ever forgot to load your weapon and then had to talk your way out of a situation where they are effectively armed and you are not in any way, shape or form? Have you ever shot and killed someone?"

"No."

"Then you have no idea what it's like to be a cop. The only way you are going to learn how to do this job it is by actually doing it. Everything you think you know, you don't. So just do what I say, when I say it."

Andy rolled her eyes as she heard Anderson mutter 'whatever' under his breath. She knew then that this would be a long shift.

"You're being quiet. I'm not used to quiet. I'm used to an allergy to silence." Sam said, glancing at his rookie as he did, while reprimanding himself for being as chatty as Andy.

"We have a report of a disturbance at 202 Sally Drive. Any units able to attend?" a voice crackled over the radio.

Sam pressed the black button and spoke into his radio.

"1509 responding."

"So Frank split McSwarek up to teach to two weak links a lesson?" Noelle asked Oliver disbelieving.

"I know. He said it made sense to him."

"It does in a way. I mean, two weakest learning off the strongest partnership I have ever seen. I mean they are so in sync it's scary."

"We have a report of a disturbance at 202 Sally Drive. Any units able to attend?"

Oliver and Noelle looked at each other as they heard both Sam and Andy respond to the call at the exact same time.

"Case in point!" Noelle laughed, raising her coffee cup in a toast.

Andy arrived on the scene before Sam did. She parked the car and climbed out, followed by Anderson.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to shut up and take notes."

"That it?"

"Until you get the hint, that is all I want you to do."

"What hint?"

"Now what is the point of me telling you what the hint is?"

Andy made it to the other side of the car and took one step up the drive when a man burst out of the door and took off running.

Andy chased after him, her legs moving as fast as they could. She was gaining ground. She saw her target disappear around a corner and followed. She turned the corner and came to a stop in a cross section of alleyways. Her target: vanished.

Sam arrived on scene to see Anderson comforting a woman on the steps to a house. She was in tears and Anderson had his arm around her, smug look on his face.

Sam got out of the car and headed over to them.

"Where's McNally?" Sam asked, noticing her absence.

"She took off after a suspect. Went that way." Anderson told him, pointing down the street.

"And you didn't go with her?" Sam asked, his voice icy, looking down the street.

"This lady here needed support."

Sam waved Anderson over to one side.

"Is the lady bleeding? Is she going to die if you don't put your arms around her?" Sam asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No." Anderson finally conceded.

"Let me make this clear to you. You NEVER. EVER. LEAVE. YOUR. PARTNER. If she gets hurt because you didn't have her back, I will destroy you. Legacy or not. Is it going to be too much to ask for you to protect my rookie?" Sam warned him before taking off after Andy.

He ran down the street, heart pounding in his ears, straining to hear anything that would lead him to her. Hearing a scuff behind him, Sam realised Little had followed him. Glancing backwards, he saw he had his gun drawn.

He let his instinct direct him and eventually he heard a sound that made his blood run cold.

A gunshot.

Andy drew her gun from her belt and started moving cautiously. She knew he was still there somewhere. She had good instincts and Sam had helped to fine tune and develop them.

She had realised she was on her own once she saw the suspect disappear, which made her feel more vulnerable.

Andy peeked around the corner of one of the cross sections and she saw the flash of a coat disappear around another corner, further down the alley.

Speeding up, Andy followed him. She made it to the end of the alley and was about to make the turn when something hit her, knocking her into a wall, her finger pulling the trigger of her gun, before dropping it.

In pain and winded, Andy sunk to the floor, unable to move. She watched as the man threw the wood plank to the floor and pick up the gun.

Knowing that she was alone and knowing the suspect had the upper hand; Andy closed her eyes and waited for the bullet that would destroy her. A tear slid down Andy's cheek as she thought of Sam and how the only thing that had happened between them was their night of almost passion. It was so clear, she thought she could hear his voice.

Eventually, as she expected it to, the shot came.
