"All units, we have a sighting of our scavenger hunt suspects on the corner of pebble and boulevard." Gail announced over her radio.
Anderson and Little were two blocks away when they heard it. After having their squad car stolen by people unknown, they were out to redeem themselves.
They ran as fast as they could towards the street corner where Gail had told them they had seen Andy and Sam and got there in enough time to see Andy disappear down an alley, closely followed by Sam and a man they had never seen before.
Wanting to catch Andy buying drugs, they held back a little bit, waiting to strike at the most opportune moment.
They saw the dealer and Andy discussing, what they assumed to be price, while Sam was looking at the wall of the club they were next to.
They watched as Andy handed the mystery man a few notes and the man handed Andy a small, clear packet with small white pills in it.
Anderson looked at Little, who nodded at him that they should go in after them.
They both drew their guns, as they were to treat Sam and Andy like suspects and entered the alley, just in time to see Sam and Andy head into the club by an emergency exit.
Sam and Andy had known that Little and Anderson were watching them and made all of their movements very carefully. Andy had waited until Sam had opened the door to the club before proceeding with the drugs buy. They timed it so that Anderson and Little entered the alley just as they both made it safely through the doorway.
They made their way down the corridor, overfull with people and meandered their way to the bar. Sam settled himself on the only free barstool and ordered two glasses of water, while Andy propped herself up against the stool, settling between Sam's legs.
"This is going to be epic." She giggled and a jaunty tune started to reverberate through the club.
"Photos?" Sam asked.
"It would be rude not to. Pass me the phone,"
They saw Anderson and Little arrive onto the club floor and immediately get surrounded by twenty large, muscle bound men.
Andy hit record on phone's camera function and tried desperately, and failing through laughing, to keep it still as Little and Anderson were both pulled into a ballroom dancing embrace and waltzed around the floor, completing spin after spin with their male dance partners
"Wait here." Andy told Sam as she saw an opening to really wind the Rookies up.
Andy silently slipped between the waltzing couples and, without missing a beat, reached into Anderson's belt and removed his handcuffs. Catching the eye of their dance partners, Andy indicated that they should try and get the two Rookies back to back.
Quickly, so neither of them could react, Andy placed on of the cuffs around Anderson's wrist and the other around Little's, clicking them both shut. Laughing she bounced back over to Sam, pulling at his arm to leave.
They left the club through the front door, nearly tripping over with laughing too much and moved into the shadows across the street from the club.
"How long do you think we have until they get out of those cuffs?" Andy asked, pulling Sam towards her with the front of his jacket and backing them both up to the wall.
"A good 10 minutes." Sam replied, running his nose down the side of Andy's face before gently placing his lips on hers. She parted her lips and he swept his tongue across her teeth, making her knees buckle.
"So are you coming back to mine after this shift?" Andy asked as Sam moved onto kissing her neck.
"If you want me to."
"Is it c-c-c-cold in winter?" She stammered as Sam ran his tongue up her neck to just behind her ear before chuckling at her answer.
Andy saw the door to the club open and saw Little stumble out of it, his shirt untucked, with Anderson fastening his trousers behind him.
"Sam, I hate to do this but, we're up!"
For the rest of the shift, Andy and Sam followed the two Rookies, buying drugs where they could and ducking into the shadows and alleyways when one of them turned around.
At five thirty am, they followed the Rookies back to the barn and watched them trudge through the gates before heading into the Black Penny to order breakfast.
An hour later, Sam and Andy strolled through the front doors of the Barn and Traci buzzed them through the interior doors.
Laughing, they headed straight for the briefing room and got wolf whistled as soon as they walked through the door.
"Alright you lot, quiet! We all knew McSwarek would be waltzing in here, question is, what trouble did they get up to?" Frank called, silencing the room as all eyes fell on the two officers.
"I think you should do this properly. These two have been a pain in my ass all night!" Oliver called.
"I agree!" Noelle called, making Sam and Andy both groan.
"Anderson, I want you to search Swarek and you, what's your name, Steeler? I want you to take McNally."
The two rookies stood in front of Sam and Andy.
"Turn around, put your arms in the air and spread your feet." They instructed.
Sam and Andy turned around and put their arms in the air, standing with their feet shoulder width apart.
Anderson and Steeler patted down Sam and Andy, paying particular attention to their pockets and waistbands.
Anderson paused when he got to Sam's back pocket. He could feel something in it so he checked inside it and pulled out a $20 bill.
Steeler also paused when she reached Andy's waistband. She could feel something small flapping about just above it and pulled the small, clear bag of pills from it.
"That's all I found." She said, throwing the pills on the table.
"That's all I got." Anderson announced adding the money to the drugs.
Frank looked at the meagre offerings and then at his two officers.
"I think you two Rookies need to go back to the Academy and retake the class on how to search a suspect. Shaw, Nash. Search 'em".
Traci walked over to Andy and asked her to turn around. She patted Andy down a little more thoroughly than Steeler had and found a further three bags of drugs and $50.
Oliver searched Sam and found two large bags of white powder, five small bags of white powder, one bag containing smaller bags of pills, a block of a brown solid wrapped in tinfoil and a further $400. Before Oliver finished his search, he slipped the cruiser keys into Sam's pocket.
"That's more like it!" Frank said, happy they had amassed a decent quantity of drugs.
"Wait, I think Nash also needs to go back to that class." Sam announced, eyeing up their spoils.
"What?" Traci spluttered. She had searched Andy thoroughly.
Sam laughed and walked over to Andy. He grabbed her arm and spun her round to face the wall, using his foot to spread her feet wider before searching her.
He added the remaining $200 of what was left of their original $900, two further bags of white powder and a joint of cannabis.
He placed his hands on the back of her legs and shifted his body weight so that no one could see the pocket where Oliver had slipped the key into.
"JESUS SAM! Your hands are cold!" Andy squealed as she jumped a mile at the contact.
"Well, well, well, looky what I just found. The keys to a police cruiser." Sam said, laughing at Andy flinching and holding up the keys.
"What, wait, that was you?" Little spluttered in disbelief.
"Yeah. Swiped the keys right off your belt, just like I did with Andersons cuffs." Andy said turning back around to face the room.
"Is that everything?" Frank asked, his eyebrows so high they ran the risk of disappearing into his hairline.
"I think so." Sam said, looking at Andy.
"Not quite." She said, reaching into her bra and pulling out a roll of money. She tossed it onto the table,
"When the hell did you get that? I've been with you the entire night!"
"It's amazing what John's will pay to stay out of jail."
"There's got to be five grand there!" Frank exclaimed.
