"Officers of 27 Division! May I introduce our newest recruit: Officer Andrea McNally."
Some of Andy's new team members wolf whistled while other hooted and catcalled at her.
"Today you will be paired with Todd. Officer Todd, she's all yours! Now let's get out there!"
Chairs scraped against the floor as the officers all got up to start their respective assignments.
Andy waited for the room to clear so she could get to her new partner.
"So you and I need to have the talk." Todd told her, nodding his head as an indication that she needs to follow.
"I've already had the talk."
"Not by me you haven't so listen up. You do not do anything, say anything or think anything until I tell you and even then you will write, think and say what I want you to. You will back me up always. Things are going to get scary out there, but I will not be holding your hand."
"So nothing I haven't heard before." Andy told him, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"What did I just tell you? You know what. I can see I am going to have a problem with you so why don't you go and do something useful sweetheart and make me a coffee?"
Andy scoffed and made her way over to the coffee machine. She slowly pulled the cup and poured the jet black liquid into it. She grabbed three packets of sugar and dumped them into the cup, not caring if Todd took sugar or not.
She carried it carefully out to the car. She was five paces away from him when she clipped a loose rock and fell forward, the steaming cup falling from her grasp and the hot dark liquid covering Todd.
"WHAT THE HELL? YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!" he yelled at Andy while wiping the front of his vest.
Andy simply glared at him and turned to head back into the building.
"Damned Rookies. Can't get anything right." She heard him mutter behind her.
"I hope Frank get's this sorted soon." She thought as she poured him another cup of coffee.
"So we need to figure out who ratted out McSwarek before we can do anything."
Sam, Chris, Gail and Dov were investigating who had told the white shirts about Sam and Andy's professional relationship.
"The obvious answer is Peck."
"How many times do I need to tell you guys? I. AM. NOT. STUPID."
"I think we could rule Peck out."
"Thankyou."
"What about Anderson? He's seriously pissed with her for hazing him." Chris suggested.
"He's got the right connections." Gail admitted.
"I don't think its Anderson. He's a legacy, but he knows she holds power over him. He doesn't know why." Sam informed them.
"Guys, I think you better see this." Dov said from the computer.
They all crowded around the computer to see what Dov had found and stood in shock.
"Damn it. I should have known." Sam cursed, mentally kicking himself.
They were watching a video of the entrance to the men's locker room. They saw a muddy Sam trudge in followed by a male and then Andy.
"Son of a bitch!"
"I told you I didn't do it."
Sam could feel his phone vibrate in his pocket and ferreted around to get it out.
When he eventually found it, he left the others in the room debating what do next, to answer the phone in the hallway.
"Hey you."
"Right back at ya! So 15 missing me yet?"
"More than you could realise McNally. We might be making some headway here."
"Really?"
"Yes, but that isn't why you're calling me is it?"
"Yes, no, sort of."
"And in English sometime today Andy?"
"I want to know how things are going on your end, but I miss you."
"I know. I miss you too. This'll all be over soon and you'll be back with us at 15."
Sam could hear her breathing hitch and a muffled voice on the end of the phone.
"That didn't sound good."
"Sam, you have no idea. I have to go otherwise I might get grounded."
"New partner treating you like a child?"
"Yeah."
"You tackle him to the ground while he was undercover?"
"Very funny. I spilled his coffee all over him. I have to go."
"See you later?"
"Bet your ass!"
"MCNALLY!"
"I'll stop by your place after my shift." Sam promised before Andy hung up the phone.
"You look happy. Who was that?" Gail asked, creeping up behind him.
"No one."
"Your phone rang all by itself?"
"That it did Peck. What do you want?"
"We're sinking in there. What the hell do we do?"
"We find the connection and then abuse yours."
"Who were you talking to?" Todd asked Andy.
"That is none of your damn business." She snapped at him, wrenching the squad car door open and throwing her body into the passenger seat.
"You need to watch your tone there young Lady."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I'll find some way you can make it up to me."
Andy rolled her eyes and stared out of the window as Todd fired up the engine. Andy was counting down the time until her shift was over.
She could see Todd looking at her out of the corner of his eye and vowed that if he touched her, she would make him regret it.
He drove the two of them around the streets mindlessly looking out for trouble before their radio crackled to live.
"10-19 we have a disturbance at 13 Meadow Drive."
"10-19, show us attending."
Andy flipped the switch to turn on the siren and Todd stepped his foot on the gas. She was out of the car before Todd had even stopped it. There were screams punctuating the air.
"What the hell are you doing McNally? I didn't tell you to get out of the car!"
"I'm doing my job. If you don't like it you don't have to follow me, but you are also my partner so you also have to watch my back as much as I watch yours."
"Get your ass back here."
"Nope! I'm going in. The longer we wait the less chance we have of getting to that woman in a conscious condition."
"Fine, but I'm going in first."
A/N: I do apologise that this is being posted on a Saturday rather than Friday... I would have posted it Thursday but I went to see my brother instead of going last night because I went out on a sort of date (It's a complicated story)
I promise I will make it up to you all!
