A/N: Thanks everyone for the great reviews so far to this story. I really appreciate it. I am giving a warning for this chapter. It is a cliff-hanger at the end, but please don't skip to the very end as you will be lost with the story then. Please be patient as well. The next chapter has already been written, I'm just waiting for it to be reviewed and ready for your reading pleasure. And don't worry...I am a huge Shandy shipper, so keep that in mind when you read this chapter.
Chapter 4
Cheryl Scott sat across from Mike and Amy in Interview room 2. "So Cheryl, tell us about Randy Grey" Mike said to her as she sat uncomfortably in the chair. "Am I under arrest here?" Cheryl asked them. "Should you be?" Amy said back to her. "No, I didn't do anything wrong" Cheryl said to them. "Okay, well then tell us how did you know Randy Grey" Mike asked her again. "I met him at a party, he stated that he was an investor with some investment company, I forgot the name of it, and that if I wanted to make money easily, I should give him a call" Cheryl said to them. "And that didn't set off any red flags?" Amy asked her. "This was a couple of years ago, when the stock market was more volatile" Cheryl said. "I was just starting out my career in real estate and in order for me to establish my company, I took Randy up on his offer and invested with him" Cheryl added.
"So, this Randy guy preys on two people who wanted to get rich quickly in order to establish a real estate company and provide for their family" Provenza said as he watched the monitors. One showed Cheryl being interviewed and the other showed Wes sitting in the room by himself. "So was this a get rich quick scheme that Randy was running?" Andy asked Sharon who was sitting in front of him. "If so, and everyone started getting bad returns, then everyone's motive for murder just went higher" Sharon said as she watched the interview.
"Buzz, ask Mike to bring up the name Travis Martin to Cheryl. Let's see if she knows him as well" Sharon said to Buzz. "Okay Captain" Buzz said and then pressed the button for the microphone. "Lieutenant Tao, the Captain would like you to mention Travis Martin to our suspect" Buzz said over the microphone into the ear piece that was in Mike's ear. "Cheryl, what do you know about Travis Martin?" Mike asked her. Cheryl shook her head. "He was another investor with Randy that he swindled" Cheryl stated. "And how do you know him?" Amy asked her. "I don't know him know him, but we've met a couple of times" Cheryl stated. "Where have you met?" Mike asked her.
"Now this is getting interesting, Captain" Provenza said to Sharon as they all watched the monitors. "At the local bars by his house, he doesn't like to travel that far" Cheryl answered Mike. "Do you know where he lives?" Amy asked her. "No, I've never been to his house" Cheryl said to her. "But these bars that you met him in, how did you know they were close to his house?" Mike asked her. "Because he told us, me and Wes" Cheryl stated to them. Sharon had heard enough. She turned in her chair and motioned for Andy to follow her into Interview room 1 where Wes was sitting in. Sharon opened the door from electronics and they both walked over to the interview room and Andy opened the door for Sharon.
"Hello, Wes, I'm Captain Sharon Flynn. I understand that you answered a lot of our questions earlier but something has come up, but before you answer you need to have your Miranda rights read to you" Sharon said to him. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you" Andy said to him. "Do you understand these rights?" Sharon asked Wes. "Yes" Wes said to her. "Good and now, I need to know if you know anything about Travis Martin" Sharon said as she took a seat across the table from Wes. Andy sat down next to her.
Wes looked at Sharon as she sat down. He was about to say something but Sharon interrupted him. "And before you lie to us, again, we already know the truth" Sharon said as she waited for his answer. "Uh Travis, he, umm, also invested with Randy and lost money, same as we did" Wes stated to Sharon as he sat there. "When was the last time you saw Travis Martin?" Sharon asked him. "Um, last week, we went out to some bar by his house, kind of like a meeting of the people Randy wronged by investments" Wes stated. "Why didn't you go to the police with this information regarding Randy and his scheme?" Andy asked him. "I don't know" Wes answered.
Sharon and Andy both looked at each other in the room. They needed to talk to Travis Martin and soon. "How often did you and Cheryl meet with Travis?" Andy asked him. "Not often, maybe once a month" Wes stated to them. "What did you guys talk about when you would meet?" Andy asked him. "Travis kept talking about how Randy had wronged him and us and that eventually Randy would get what was coming to him" Wes said to them. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Sharon said to Wes as she leaned forward in her chair. Andy glanced at Sharon and then focused on Wes. "That Travis said Randy would get what was coming to him" Wes repeated. Sharon stood up along with Andy and they exited the room.
Sharon waited until the door closed to talk with Andy. "Travis Martin has to be our guy" Andy said to her as they made their way to electronics. The door opened and Provenza met them in the hallway. "Captain, we have an APB on Travis Martin. We'll know if someone spots him" Provenza said to Sharon in the hallway. "Fine, in the meantime, I want to know everything, and I mean everything about this guy, who's he affiliated with, where he goes" Sharon said to them as she made her way over to her office. "Should we let Wes and Cheryl go then?" Provenza asked her. "Yes" she called out over her shoulder as she entered her office. Provenza nodded to Julio who went to the other interview room to let Mike and Amy know to let Cheryl go.
Provenza and Andy both looked at each other before returning to the interview room where Wes was sitting. "You're free to go Wes" Provenza said to him. Wes stood up from his chair and walked out of the room. "Oh, could you do us a favor?" Provenza asked him. "What, what is it?" Wes said. "Whatever you do, do not contact Travis Martin, got it?" Andy said to him. Wes nodded and then left the office and headed towards the elevators. They waited until Wes was out of the building before they released Cheryl, just in case the two of them would speak to each other. They had Buzz follow the two of them out of the building and then he came back up to the ninth floor.
Buzz entered the Murder Room as everyone was gathering at their desks. "Anything Buzz?" Mike asked him. "No, Wes got in his car and Cheryl got in hers and they drove off" Buzz said as he returned to his desk. "Well, if they do talk to each other, it doesn't really matter. I think the Captain is focused on Travis Martin now as our prime suspect" Provenza said to them as he pointed up at the board where Travis's picture was located.
An hour later, the team was still at their desks when Chief Howard entered the office. "Chief, to what do we owe your presence here?" Provenza said to him. "I'm just here to speak with your Captain, is she in?" Chief Howard stated to him. Provenza pointed to Sharon's office and Chief Howard walked over there and knocked on her closed door. "Come in" Sharon said on the other side. Chief Howard walked in her office as Andy watched him enter. "Chief Howard, what can I help you with?" Sharon said to him as he took a seat in front of her desk. "I'm just here to see how your investigation is going" Chief Howard said to her. "Oh, well, we need some more time but I think we are very close to making an arrest, maybe tonight or tomorrow" Sharon said to him. "Oh, well that's good news" Chief Howard said to her.
Sharon looked at Chief Howard as he was still sitting down, looking like he had something else on his mind he wanted to say to her. "Anything else Chief?" Sharon asked him. "No, nothing else" Chief Howard said as he stood up from his chair. "Ah, well, I just wanted to let you know that I have been running interference for you with Chief Davis" Chief Howard said. Sharon looked up at him and then leaned back in her chair. "What does she want now" Sharon said to him. "What doesn't she want" Chief Howard said in return. "I got your back, Captain" Chief Howard stated to her. She nodded and watched Chief Howard exit her office.
Sharon took a deep breath and sighed as she glanced over at the clock in her office. She walked out of her office and over to the rest of the team. Andy stood up and followed her. "Do we have anything new on Travis Martin?" she asked them. "I looked into those deposits to the accounts that we couldn't figure out before, and I found something interesting with them" Mike said to Sharon as Sharon walked over to this desk. "See these money transfers, well they are reoccurring every couple of weeks, always the same amount" Mike said as he showed Sharon what was on his computer. "Can we tell how long these money transfers have been going on?" Sharon asked him. "No, but if I had to take a guess, it looks like maybe it's some sort of payment" Mike said. "He was a longshoreman, maybe he still pays union dues every couple of weeks" Andy said to them as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Anything else?" Sharon asked the team. "We ran his criminal history ma'am, and nothing popped up that was major. A couple of traffic tickets for speeding and one for obstructing a peace officer, but that looks like it happened during a strike at Long Beach a couple of years ago" Julio stated to Sharon. "Do we know his location yet?" Sharon asked. "No. Patrol has been alerted and they were given instructions to notify Major Crimes if they spot him, and not to engage him if he is a peaceful citizen" Provenza said to her. Sharon stood there thinking when Provenza interrupted her. "Do you want to call SIS, maybe see if they can spare someone to watch his house for the night?" Provenza asked her. She looked at the clock again. It was getting close to them needing to leave to pick Matthew up from school. "Sure, let's set that up Lieutenant. In the meantime, everyone go home. We'll pick up tomorrow morning" Sharon said to them as she walked back in to her office.
Andy made his way back to his desk to put his paperwork away for the night. Everyone else did the same. Provenza hung up his phone as he had set up a surveillance truck to watch Travis Martin's home for the night. The team left the office one by one until it was only Sharon and Andy left. Andy walked in to Sharon's office and knocked on the doorframe. "Ready to go?" he asked her as he stepped in. "Yes" she said as she gathered her things and then they made their way out of the office. The rode the elevator in silence. Andy was still debating whether or not to tell Sharon what Provenza had told him earlier. He figured he would tell her after they ate dinner. They walked to their car and he held the door open for Sharon as she got inside. He then made his way around the car, and got in the driver's side. Sharon placed her left hand on his right arm and looked at him. "Is everything okay?" she asked him in a concerned voice.
He looked at her and couldn't hold it back anymore. "I was hoping for a better time to tell this to you" he started off by saying. Sharon face showed complete concern when Andy said that. "What is it?" she said as she hoped it had nothing to do with his health. Andy looked down and sighed. "Provenza ran into Winnie Davis this morning and she had some concerns regarding us bringing Matthew to the office" Andy said as he looked at her. "That's it? That's the big secret?" Sharon said to him, annoyed. "What do you mean?" Andy said to her. "I thought you were going to tell me that you had another health crisis!" Sharon said to him as she shook her head. Sharon looked at him. "I'm not concerned about Winnie Davis and her parenting 101 skills" Sharon told him as she smiled at him. She leaned over the center consol. "You may be punished later for scaring me for a second" she whispered to him as she kissed him on his cheek. He watched her settle back in to her seat and he started the car. "Provenza" he muttered his name as he pulled out of the parking garage and headed over to pick up Matthew from school.
By the time they got home with everyone, Matthew was anxious to get out of the car. As soon as Andy pulled the car into the garage, Matthew opened his door and he jumped out with Moxie, grabbing his backpack and running to the back door of the house. "Hey! Slow down!" Andy called out to him. Sharon looked over at him. "He wants to finish his project. That's all he talked about when I went inside to pick him up. He was talking about some of the kids that brought their solar system in and how different they were from his" Sharon said to Andy as they both got out of the car. Sharon waited for Andy and then she held his hand as they both walked to the back door. He smiled as he was glad that Matthew was excited about the project. He kissed Sharon on her cheek and then unlocked the back door, having Matthew and Moxie both run inside the house. Andy was about to say something but Sharon stopped him and kissed him instead. "I'll get dinner ready and you can go help him" Sharon said to him as she walked off into the kitchen. Andy stood there for a minute and then realized that he should bring the base of the project in from the garage.
Andy walked back in to the house carrying the base and brought it through the kitchen and in to the dining room where he sat it on the table. "Is that all ready?" Matthew asked him as he was painting the planet Earth. "Yes, but first finish painting all of the planets, and neatness counts buddy" Andy said to Matthew as he sat down, rolled up his sleeves, and joined him at the table. By the time Sharon came in to the dining room to check on them, they had already painted through to Neptune. "How's it going in here?" she asked them. Andy looked up from placing Neptune on a toothpick to dry. "Things are going really well" Andy said to her and smiled. "Good" she said as she looked at Matthew who was busy painting the tiny small planet of Pluto. "Dinner's almost ready, maybe in ten minutes or so" she said to them and then turned around and headed back in to the kitchen.
Matthew handed Andy the planet Pluto and Andy placed it on a toothpick to dry. "What about the asteroids?" Matthew said to Andy as he looked over everything. "Well, you could always draw them on the board between Mars and Jupiter" Andy suggested to him. "Hmm, okay" Matthew said as he shrugged his shoulders and started to pick up another brush. "But, first, we are going to eat dinner" Andy said to him. "Awe" Matthew whined but placed his paint brush down and stood up from the table. "Go wash up!" Andy said as he called out to him. Matthew was already in the kitchen and then he saw him walk over to the bathroom.
Andy walked in to the kitchen and saw Sharon preparing a salad for them. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle. "Something smells good in here" he said as he whispered in her ear. She smiled as she was cutting up a cucumber for the salad. "Since you cooked dinner, how about later tonight, you get to relax in a specially prepared bath by yours truly" he said to her as he kissed her neck. Sharon chuckled as he tickled her with his lips and then moved to the side out of his embrace. She turned around and smiled at him. "That sounds wonderful" she said to him as she placed the cucumbers in the salad and handed the salad bowl to him. Andy then placed the salad bowl on the kitchen table.
Matthew came out of the bathroom, with freshly washed hands and sat down at the kitchen table. He took some cucumbers and tomatoes out of the bowl and placed them on his plate. He then took some salad dressing and poured it on them. Sharon then brought over the baked chicken that she prepared with rosemary and olive oil and placed it on the table. She then brought over the potatoes and sat down to join her two boys for dinner. "This is really good, Sharon" Andy said as he took a bite of the chicken. "I'm glad you like it" she said to him as they ate dinner.
After dinner, Matthew helped clear the table and then he went back to his project. Andy brought all of the main dishes back to the counter and started to put them away. Sharon carried the salad bowl back to the counter. "No, no" Andy shook his head. "You made dinner, Sharon, you don't clean up, those are the rules" Andy said to her. "I've got this, and when I'm done, I'll go fix you your bath, my love" he said to her and she smiled, caressing his face. "Have I told you lately how much I love you?" she said to him. "Hmm, if I say yes, will you still let me know?" he said to her and she leaned in to kiss him. "I'm going to go see how Matthew is doing" she said as she broke apart from him and headed towards the dining room.
Matthew was looking at his science book when Sharon walked in. "What are you looking at?" she asked him as she sat down at the table. "I want to see how the asteroids are. Dad said I can paint them on the board" Matthew said to her. "Hmm, that's a good idea" Sharon said to him as he dipped his paint brush in the brown paint cup and started to paint the asteroids on the board. Andy walked in and saw Sharon sitting with Matthew, watching him work on his project. "Matthew, I'm going to steal Mommy away for a little bit, but I will be right back down to help you finish, okay" Andy said to Matthew as he held out his hand for Sharon to take which she did and the two of them went upstairs.
Andy was in the bathroom, fixing Sharon's bath as he added lavender bubble bath, making sure the water wasn't too hot. Sharon sat on their bed waiting for Andy to tell her that he was ready. She thought back over everything that had happened in their lives, from them secretly seeing each other when she was in charge of IA and FID to her taking over the Major Crimes division, through all of their cases and trials with Rusty, to the health scares that Andy had and their wedding day, to finding Matthew and taking him in, eventually adopting him and Moxie together. She shook her head as she fought tears forming in her eyes. They had certainly come a long way, the two of them. She looked up and saw Andy standing in the door way and smiled at him.
She walked over to him and he welcomed her in his embrace. "Your bath awaits you, my dear" he whispered to her in her ear as she entered the bathroom and saw the candles were lit around the room and the bubbles were covering the tub. "Thank you" she said to him. He kissed her. "You're welcome" he said to her as he closed the door behind him, allowing Sharon to undress and enter her bath to relax. Andy had to fight the urge he had to join her in the tub. He wanted her to relax and enjoy it. He then made his way back downstairs to help Matthew with the rest of his project.
Sharon sat in the tub, relaxing in the warmness of the water and the lavender that Andy had used to prepare her bath. She closed her eyes and sat back, as her muscles released the tension she had just from coming back to work one day. All this business with Chief Davis and who was going to be the new Assistant Chief was bogging her down. Being away in Arizona helped a little, but now Sharon was really enjoying her bath and would have to thank Andy for that later, even though she told him she would punish him for scaring her before they left to pick up Matthew from school.
Andy came down and walked in to the dining room to see that Matthew was done painting the asteroids on the board. He had also added little white spec dots for the stars in the galaxy. "Wow, that looks really good!" Andy said to Matthew as he checked the planets to make sure they were dry. "I think we are ready to assemble now" Andy said to him as they placed the sun on the board, followed by the planets in order until all of the planets were attached to the board by metal clothes hangers that Andy had cut to different sizes. "Wow! This is great!" Matthew said as he looked at his solar system and smiled a huge smile. They moved the board off the table so that they could clean up the mess with the paints, brushes, water cup, and other items that they used.
Sharon's bath water started to cool off and Sharon then decided that it might be time to step out of the bath. She then walked over to the shower to rinse her body off and then wrapped a towel around her as she drained the bath tub. She then blew out the candles that were lit and began to get dressed in an old Dodgers shirt that belonged to Andy and some yoga pants. After she was dressed, she made her way back downstairs. When she walked in to the dining room, she was surprised to see the solar system project was already finished. She saw Matthew and Andy looking at it on the table again as she came up to the table. "Wow! Matthew you did a great job with this project" Sharon said to him. "Thank you" he said to her. "I'm glad we finished it tonight" he said to Andy. "Me too, buddy" Andy said to him as he glanced at his watch. "But now, I think it's time for bed" Andy said to Matthew. "Uh, do I have to go to bed?" Matthew asked them. "Yes, you had an early morning this morning, so you should be tired" Sharon said to Matthew. "But I'm not really tired, Mommy" Matthew said as he yawned. Sharon shook her head. "Come on, let's go upstairs before you're really too tired" Sharon said to him and the two of them headed upstairs.
Andy took Moxie out so the dog could do its business before they all went to bed. He saw Rusty pulling into the driveway as he was out in the backyard. As Rusty got out of the car, Andy walked over to him. "Late night with the DA's office?" Andy asked him. "Yeah, sort of. Andrea had a big case in court today and afterwards we sat in her office to prep for tomorrow's court" Rusty said as he made his way over to the stairs for his apartment above the garage. "Did you eat?" Andy asked him. "Yes, we ordered something from this new place called Chris and Tom's, it's a pizza place nearby her office and I went out to pick it up" Rusty said to him. "How are you enjoying your internship?" Andy asked as he watched Rusty climb the stairs. Rusty stopped. "Um, it's really interesting" Rusty said to Andy and then he continued up the stairs. "Have a good night!" Andy said to him as Rusty stepped inside his place. Andy then turned around and started to walk towards the house with Moxie. He locked the back door for the night and then proceeded up to the second floor.
He saw Sharon in Matthew's room sitting on the chair waiting for Matthew to get his pajamas on and come back to his room. Matthew then ran back into his room, scooting by Andy who was standing at the door. Matthew jumped in bed and settled down, pulling the covers over him. Moxie then jumped on the bed and laid down by Matthew's feet. Sharon stood up and walked over to the side of the bed and kissed him good night. "Good night sweetie" she said to him and smiled. "Good night Mommy" he said to her as he held his wolf close to him. "Night buddy" Andy said as he waved to him and then closed the door as they stepped out into the hallway.
"How was your bath?" Andy said as he and Sharon walked into their room. "It was wonderful, thank you" Sharon said as they stepped inside their room and Andy shut their door. She went to go sit as she waited for Andy to get ready for bed. When he came out of the bathroom, wearing his pajama pants only, she looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back at her and joined her in bed. She settled into his side as he placed his arms around her, holding her close to him. "Where do you think this Travis guy has gone to?" she said to him as he held her in their bed. "I don't know, but no shop talk tonight, you need your rest" Andy sighed as he ran his hands on her arm. She laid there thinking about the case. "Please Sharon" Andy said to her as he maneuvered her body so that he was now on top of her. He looked into her deep green eyes and kissed her. She moaned in response as he made his way down her neck. "Don't think about this case, until it's morning" he whispered to her. "Hmm, well then I'm going to need something else to distract me" she said flirtatiously to him and smiled. "Oh, I'll give you something to keep your mind off of that" he said to her and then kissed her passionately.
Hours later, they both laid in bed, sleeping as Andy held Sharon close to him. The next time Sharon woke up was to her alarm going off, indicating that it was morning already. She groaned as she moved off of their bed and noticed Andy was also waking up. She turned and looked over her shoulder at him. "Good morning" she said to him. He crawled over to her side of the bed and kissed her shoulder. "Good morning" he said to her. She then got up and walked into their closet to pick out her clothes for the day. She decided to go with a pant suit instead of a skirt today, as she had a feeling they would be going out into the field today whenever they would find Travis Martin. She then made her way into their bathroom to get dressed, looking at Andy as she passed him. He was heading for their closet to pick out his clothes for the day.
The two of them got dressed and ready for work. Andy went to go get Matthew up for school and walked into his room, turning the overhead light on and saw Matthew roll over in bed. "Time to get up" Andy said to him. He moaned. "Do I have to?" Matthew said. "I'm afraid so buddy" Andy said to him as Matthew stood up from his bed. "Here, go get dressed. I'll wait for you" Andy said to him and Matthew went to his bathroom and got ready for school. Sharon walked out in to the hallway and saw Andy was waiting for Matthew to get ready. "I'm going to go downstairs. I can let the dog out" she said to him and Moxie followed her down.
Matthew came back in his room, ready for school as he put his pajamas in his hamper. Matthew looked at Andy and then sat on his bed. "Can I ask you a question?" Matthew said to Andy. Andy knelt down in front of him. "Sure buddy" Andy said to him. "If the bad guys went after Mommy, would you protect her?" Matthew asked him innocently. Andy wasn't sure what had brought this question up but he answered Matthew. "Yes, I would do anything to protect her" Andy said to him. Matthew then stood up from his bed and they went downstairs to have breakfast and get ready for the day.
Matthew carried his solar system project out to the car and Andy opened the lift gate for him to place it in the back, where it could lie flat. He then went back inside to get his backpack and Moxie, as Sharon was waiting for him. Sharon and Matthew then walked back to the car with Moxie and Moxie jumped in the backseat. "Do you have everything?" Andy asked both Sharon and Matthew. "Yes" Matthew said to him as he put his seatbelt on. Sharon got in her side and sat down. "Yes, I have everything" she said to him and he then sat in the driver's seat and started the car. He drove them to Matthew's school and pulled into the parking lot and found a spot. "Do you need help with that?" Andy asked Matthew as he opened the lift gate and helped Matthew take it out of the car. "No, I got it. Thanks Dad!" Matthew said to Andy as he closed the lift gate. "Be careful" Matthew told him. "I will buddy" Andy said back to him as he watched him say good bye to Sharon and then walk over to the school entrance where he proceeded to walk inside with his project, talking with some boys on the way in.
They went back inside the car. "What's with the be careful?" Sharon asked Andy as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed over to drop Moxie off. "I don't know, he asked me this morning if I would protect you and I told him that I would do anything to protect you" Andy said as he drove. Sharon looked at him and then looked out her window. They dropped Moxie off at the doggie day care place and headed into work.
As they entered the Murder Room, everyone was already there. "Captain! I think I finally found out where that money was going to every couple of weeks" Mike said from his desk to Sharon. Sharon walked over to where he was sitting and Mike showed her what he had found out. "The deposits were to a general fund for this group" Mike said as he pointed to the name of the group on his screen. Sharon read it and then looked at the rest of her team. "What? What is it?" Andy asked her as he moved closer to her. "He's been making deposits into the Hell's Angels general fund" Sharon said to them as she stood up from looking at Mike's computer. "Great" Andy muttered. "Well, is he a full-fledged member?" Provenza asked. "You don't have to be, sir" Julio said as Amy hung up her phone. "Captain, sorry to interrupt but SIS just spotted Travis Martin going into his house. It looked like he was carrying a black bag of some sort" Amy said to Sharon. Sharon nodded and then turned around to Mike. "How were you able to find this out?" Sharon asked him. "I asked my buddy down in financial crimes to see what he could do" Mike said as he stood up from his desk.
"Alright, I want everyone to wear their vests, we don't know what this guy is capable of or where he's been for the last couple of days" Sharon said as she placed her things on her desk and headed back out in to the room. "Buzz, you'll ride with Amy and Julio, please be careful" Sharon told Buzz. "I will Captain" he said as he put his vest on and grabbed his camera. "Here's the address we are going to. Let's go people" Provenza said to the team as they headed out to the elevators and eventually, they got into their cars and started to head over to Travis Martin's house.
Andy drove through the streets following Provenza and Mike. Sharon was on the radio informing the teams of what they would do once they arrived at the house. She then called Lieutenant Cooper to let him know they were on their way to the house to arrest Travis Martin as Mike had secured the arrest warrant this morning before they got there. "Promise me you'll stick behind me when we get there" Andy said to Sharon as they continued to drive. Sharon looked at him and he looked very serious about what he had said to her. "I will" she said to him as they pulled down the street the house was located on.
As the cars pulled up, the team got out of them and started to walk behind the cars. Andy stepped out of the car and walked around the front of it to meet Sharon. As she stepped out of the car, Andy closed her door and that's when bullets started to fly passed them. Andy turned around and saw someone standing on the porch of the house firing at them and he turned around to grab Sharon and pushed her to the ground behind their car. He landed on top of her and she hit the ground hard. Return fire was coming from Julio, Mike, Amy, and Provenza. Sharon looked up at Andy and saw the look of pain flash across his face. Travis Martin then retreated inside his house and the bullets stopped. "Andy" she said to him as panic started to set in as he laid on top of her in the street.
