Chapter 2

The rain battered the window as the storm outside hit the darkest streets on the other side of Toronto. Andy McNally sat in the rundown apartment listening to the rain, which came across as calming. She had been here for ten months now, it was only supposed to be two week job. Find out what was going on as quickly as she could and then get out but as always it just never went smoothly. Whispers started spreading that she was a cop so the safest way was for her to stay and prove them wrong. Only this stay was longer than she expected, it wasn't her first UC but she always said she didn't want any jobs longer than six months. She was missing home, her friends, her family and she was missing 15th Division. She chose the UC as it got her away from her normal stressful life, her dad's drinking among other stuff. The minute she knew she wanted to be a cop, she went straight for the detective's rotation and headed straight for Guns and Gangs. Everyone thought she was insane but for a while she could be someone else, forget about her life and live a totally different way even if it was only for a while. One downside to this job was that when work was quiet your real life always came flooding back.

The gang she was trying to bring down was well known around this part of Toronto for dealing drugs and smuggling drugs in by boat. Her job was to prove she ran her own drugs smuggling operation and get as close to the boss as possible. It had took her ten months but now she was nearly done, it was nearing the time to head home and she couldn't wait. But she knew the moment she returned normal life would hit her full force and she'd be back to sorting everyone else's messes out.

Another bang of thunder brought her back to reality, tomorrow she was meeting with the head of the gang to go over the final preparations for the buy which was happening in four days. After that it will be the process of getting arrested, giving her statement and debriefing. But the best part would be spending time with best friend and her son, Traci and Leo.

Pushing herself up from the bed she padded down the hall to the bathroom for a shower before calling it a night. She never got far though as the shrilling of her old cell phone made her stop. Only one person rang that phone and it was in the case of emergencies. As she rushed to answer it, she didn't know what to expect:

"Boyd...what's wrong?" she rushed out didn't even answer with a hello, she knew something was deadly wrong;

"McNally...meet me at our usual spot, half an hour" and before Andy could even ask Boyd why all she got on the other side was the dial tone, he had hung up.

Andy didn't waste any time in grabbing what she needed before rushing out the door, she was surprised that she remember to lock it behind her. As she stepped out onto the street and into the still awful storm, she took to the side streets as she ran as fast as she could. Her mind was all over the place but she still knew she had to keep hidden in the shadows. All the while running, the strong feeling in her gut told her that something was seriously wrong.

It was the day after everyone's world had been turned upside down. No-one knew what to say or do. The division was quiet, eerily and just numb. The people closest to Traci had been given time off until after the funeral, which would take place on Friday. Jerry hadn't been seen by anyone at all since he received the devastating news at the hospital. Sam had dropped him off at his home he shared with Traci but that was the last he had seen or heard from him. That was 2 days ago, he had called and left god knows how many messages but he never got a reply. So this is how Sam found himself sitting outside his best friend's home wondering how it had come to this.

Sam had been in and out of UC jobs for the past ten years, he had nothing tying him down in Toronto so he was perfect for it. Hi sister stayed out of town with her own family, she hated what he did but Sam loved it. He wasn't sure why but he loved the adrenaline rush and the buzz you got from being someone else. Sometimes the jobs where long, tiring and dangerous. Other times you were only under a matter of weeks then you were out. His last UC had lasted fifteen months, his longest stint undercover yet. When he came back everything was different, there was another batch of Rookies but these ones where the best he had seen yet. Traci Nash had went straight for the Detective's rotation as this was what she wanted to do plus it was better for her son, Leo. He was only back a few weeks but Sam could tell that Jerry had fallen deeply in love and he was the most happiest he had seen him. He treated Leo just like his own son and he could tell that Traci was grateful for that. As weeks turned into a few months the group of friend's became stronger, more like a family. Something always bothered Sam though and that was the mention of someone called Andy McNally. Later he found out that it was Traci's best friend who had also went through the academy; but he was still yet to meet this McNally.

Sighing Sam finally managed to pull himself together and make the short walk to the front porch of Jerry's house, swallowing hard he knocked and waited. Only a matter of moments later the door opened and there stood his friend of fifteen years, he looked older and thinner if that was even possible only after two days;

"What do you want Sam?" Jerry asked so quietly Sam had to strain slightly to hear him. Jerry however didn't even wait for a reply and he walk down the hall, leaving the door open. Sam took this to be a sign that he was invited in. Closing the door behind him he followed his friend towards the kitchen, while answering Jerry's question;

"I came to see if you where..." but whatever Sam was about to say never came out of his mouth. What greeted him in the kitchen wasn't what he expected. There were beer bottles, takeaway cartons and pizza boxes lying everywhere. Dishes piled up high next to the sink and clothes falling out the washing basket "Why...you need to let us help you Jerry" Sam said not really sure what else to saying but knowing his friend couldn't go on like this. Jerry laughed as he sat down at the table;

"Help...the one person that always helped me is gone. She's gone and she's never coming back" he yelled as he slammed an empty beer bottle against the table "I can't even look after Leo without her help, he's at his Gran's cause I know he'll be looked after; not by a pathetic loser. And don't say anything Sammy...please don't say..." but Jerry never finished his sentence as the tears finally took over. Once again Sam watched his best friend break down over the death of the love of his life. There was nothing he could do right now but watch, watch his best friend fall to pieces. If Sam had learned anything out of this tragedy it was that he would make sure he'd never date anyone on the force.

Standing in the pouring rain Andy finally spotted Boyd's car coming towards her. She had been standing in the darkness for nearly ten minutes thinking over every possible scenario as to why Boyd would be calling to meet at such a late hour but nothing that came to mind jumped out at her. As the car pulled up next to the curb Andy wasted no time in getting in and starting her own interrogation;

"What the hell Boyd! You call at a stupid time to meet and what, don't even bother to say on the phone. I know something is wrong. What? Is it the case? Have I done..."

"Andy! Just shut up and listen" Boyd yelled over Andy's talking. Boyd had never really yelled at her for anything, even when she first joined Guns and Gangs. Shouting at her now felt weird but it was the only way he knew how to get her to stop talking "Look what I'm about to tell you, I have to say in person...Traci...Traci got shot...I'm so sorry Andy she didn't make it" Boyd swallowed the lump in his throat, he never thought he'd had to share anything like this with a fellow officer.

Boyd's voice seemed to faded into the background and Andy found herself in silence. She knew what she heard but she couldn't believe it. She wouldn't believe it. But something deep down was screaming that Boyd was telling the truth. Everything was a blur but Andy knew her life had just came crashing down around her.

So there you have it, Andy finally made an appearance & Sam won't be dating cops! Up next it's the funeral and maybe some Sam thoughts on Andy! Let me know what you think by reviewing. Next chapter up soon!
