Thanks for the reviews everyone. Rated T may change depending on where the story goes :)
I do not own Rookie Blue
The ringing of a cell phone made him roll over and smack the nightstand, it was to loud and he almost knocked it off on to the floor. He grabs the phone, opens it, "Swarek" he mumbles out.
It is Best, "Sammy I need you to come down and help, we have a multiple homicide at club Tryst and it just got complicated." Sam could hear the tension in his voice. "Yeah, boss, give me 15 and I will head in. Anything I need to know before I get to the barn?" Best just respond with "Get here quick."
Sam rolled out of bed, threw on jeans, T-shirt, a coat, grabbed his keys and headed out the door. As he stepped out he noticed it had started to snow lightly. How calm and peaceful it seemed. Snow always made the city look clean and fresh. He then stepped it up and headed into the barn.
Sam arrived at the same time Traci did. They both noticed all shifts were streaming in. It was all hands on deck for this one Traci thought.
Walking into the barn was like walking into a hornet's nest. People everywhere gearing up for what it seemed like a small invasion. Sam and Traci stepped into the parade room. Luke was at the front on his phone and motion for Traci and Sam to come up to him.
Luke hung up the phone and took a deep breath. "What I am about to tell you, I need both of you to remain calm, professional and ask no questions. Is this understood?" Luke said as he looked at both of them waiting for acknowledgement. Frustrated Sam glares at him and spits "Cut the crap Callaghan, just give us the skinny so we can get this over with."
Luke shifted and took a deep breath "A shooting happened at club Tryst three hours ago. From what we have gathered from the staff, the owner Mike Walker and his girlfriend Tara Spoke were running drugs out of the office. Both were shot and killed in the offices in the club. One bodyguard of theirs was killed and another who was a UC posing as a bodyguard, was seriously injured. " Luke ignored Sam and Traci's glares, he just continued, "We have a body guard from the Galloway boys gang dead and two patrons who we have connected to the Galloway boys dead on the dance floor. " Luke lowers his voice and says "We also have another UC in the wind, according to patrons in the club, our UC is injured but we don't know how bad or where she went."
All Sam could think was SHE! Traci's face said it all, a panic and eyes filled with rage. Traci just wanted to reach up and smack Luke hard but realized doing so in a room full of people was really not the thing to do for career advancement. Two UCs, one seriously injured, one in the wind, Luke didn't give any names but they both knew who they were just by Luke's face and request for no questions.
All Traci could say was "What do you want us to do?"
Luke turned to her with a puzzled look on his face, he expected them to come unglued, yell at him, scream but they really did what he asked. He thought for a moment and said " Traci can you please go to Mercy and sit with Gail, she is there waiting for Nick to get out of surgery. We will need his statement as soon as possible." With a pat on Sam's back, Traci spun on her heels and left for the hospital.
Sam lost all control at that point; he turned to Luke and snapped "What the hell happened and where is Andy?"
Luke just scoffed at him and said, "I need you to help me find her. She is in the wind, you're her partner and you trained her. I realize you threw her away but I need what is in your head to find her and get her home safe. If you are not willing to help you can just go home."
Sam grabs him by the arm and slams Luke into the wall, seething with anger and growls out "It is not my fault she is in the wind, its your op, your op went south and its not my fault she is now out there hurt, so you can take your accusations and shove it."
Luke huffed at him and turned to take another phone call.
Sam then marched into Frank's office and proceeded to tap his foot while waiting for him to get off the phone. Frank motioned him to sit down and he continued to listen on the phone. Frank kept saying yes and I understand. Finally Frank hung up and looked at Sam, took a deep break and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Sam clenched his fists and asked, "How much do you know?"
Frank looked at him for a second and decided to go for it, "I received a text from Noelle, Oliver and her saw Andy exiting the club, they noticed blood on her shirt and running down her arm, and then she was gone." Frank gauged his reaction and continued " Some of the witnesses say she dragged Collins to the storage room. We have no idea how much of the blood that was on her was his or hers. We just need to find her and get her safely back home. Are you going to help or stand here and complain how Luke didn't keep a handle on his op?"
Sam just nodded and walked out of the office back to the parade room to talk to Luke. He walked right up to Luke and said, "Alright what do we know?"
Luke acknowledge and started with the run down "We know Nick and Andy's cover apartment has been tossed, we have checked all hospitals, all other UCs on the task force have been pulled and accounted for. Every safe house has been searched and we can't find her. Her burn phone was found on Nick, so we can't track her by that, so any ideas?"
All Sam could think was where the hell is she hiding?
