Thank you for the reviews, I have to work all next week so bare with me with the updates.

I still own nothing!

"Hey Sara, any news on Danny? Will need to fix the leak near the club before seeing you. But I am not far. Just need to sit with a bear claw in water before seeing you. Hope to text soon, am."

Traci still didn't get it. Even when she read it out loud, she didn't get it. She turned to Sam. "I don't get it."

Marlo looked around the room and decided to be the calm one. "Ok, lets break down the first message. Traci read the first message you got?"

Traci scrolled through her messages and found the first one. "Hey Sis in law, I am fine. Everything under control! Please send word on Danny. I have to finish something before I see you Sarah, promise. Will text later, am

Marlo turned to Sam, grabbed his hand, "You trained her, she is good. Does she follow your rule of stick close to the truth as possible?"

The light bulb went on, Sam almost smacked his forehead because he felt so stupid. "I tell her all the time, stick as close to the truth as possible, makes it easier to remember. "

Sam looked at Traci, "Her first clue to what she is trying to say is Sister in law, then calls her by name with Sara. She then tells us she is in control of the situation. Not under threat. She is asking now Nick is but showing the OP is still on by calling him Danny. And if anyone was to get her phone saying will text later, am, she means her real name but anyone who got the phone would think she will text in am. She was setting up to give us clues to where she was in the next message."

Sam started to get excited. "The next message said Hey Sara, any news on Danny? She is still looking for an update and still referring to him as Danny to show OP is still going. Will need to fix the leak near the club before seeing you. Now that we know their might be a leak in the department, she is telling us where, just not who. She may not know whom though. But I am not far. Just need to sit with a bear claw in water before seeing you. Not sure what this means by this, and she answers with hope to text soon, am, showing us that she is sending the message and that she will text soon. "

Sam looked around the room, "What does she mean, but I am not far, just need to sit with a bear claw in water. She is trying to tell us something."

Luke and Marlo asked as the same time, "Why would she pick your sister?"

Chris, Gail and Dov walk into the D's office. Traci hands over her phone and shows the three of them Andy's message.

Dov looks at Traci, "Bear claw in water? Why is she calling you Sarah?"

It was Chris that asked Sam, "Where does your sister live and how far away is she?"

"She lives in St. Catharines, about two hours from here," Sams wheels are turning.

Gail and Traci spoke up at the same time. "Oh my god, she is in St. Catharines. That is why she keeps calling you Sara, she is giving you a clue to where she is."

Luke then looks at them funny, "Then what does have to sit with a bear claw in water?"

Sam jumped up, he got all excited and went over to his computer, "I think I know."

Sam pulled up Google and typed in places to stay in St. Catharines. Traci looked at him funny, Sam smiled, "What does Andy do when she is stressed out and tired. She takes a long bubble bath. So she has to be staying at a place with bear claw tubs in St. Catharines."

"That seems a little far fetched Swarek," Luke mumbled.

Sam and Marlo shot him a look, "It makes sense. She is trying to tell us where she is."

The Google page loaded up and Sam started searching for bear claw bathtubs.

Traci and Marlo started searching to on their computers. Luke left the room after telling them they were crazy.

It was an hour later when they narrowed it down to two different Bed and Breakfasts in the area. Sam picked up the phone to call St. Catharines PD. They couldn't just storm up there in this weather and tread on their jurisdiction.

After talking to them for a good hour on the details, the Sgt on duty said he would call them back when they had a definite that she was on site.

So now they wait.


Andy stepped out of the tub feeling much better. The warm water had taken the chill off, soothed her sore muscles and washed off all the dirt. She wrapped her hair up in a towel and then slipped on the sweats and shirt. She came out of the bathroom to see Josh had not returned. She sat down on the sofa and looked at today's paper that was sitting on the coffee table. She started to read the article in the paper about the shooting when Josh walked in with food.

"Oh, Josh that smells heavenly."

Josh grinned ear-to-ear, "Emma is an amazing cook. I hope you like it."

Josh handed her a plate and silverware, then put her drink next to her on the table. He then grabbed his plate and sat next to her.

He watched her as she ate with such passion. No telling when the last time she ate a real meal, he never saw her eat at the club ever. It has been 18 hours since the shooting and he knew she had to be hungry. It was nice to see her eat, he thought.

Andy finished her plate and sat back. "That was awesome Josh. I really needed that."

Josh smiled, "Why don't you go lie down in the bed and catch some sleep. I am going to take these down to Emma and hang out with her. That way you get some uninterrupted sleep."

"Thanks I will do that."

Andy crawled into the bed and covered up. She was so tired, she just couldn't help herself, she wanted to stay awake, but right now she couldn't think, she was just to tired.

Josh left the room with the plates and noticed she was already a sleep.

All Josh could think of was how much better everything would be in the morning.


St. Catharines PD called back and said we have located the car they were in, in front of a bed and breakfast. When the weather lightened up, they would raid place. Right now they had two cars watching the place.

Sam thanked the Sgt for his help and told him he looked forward to word that they had both Josh and Andy. The Sgt also promised to keep Andy's cover in tact.

Sam went over and covered Traci and Gail up with a blanket. They were laying on the sofa in the D's office. When he walked out he bumped into Marlo.

"Hey, she is going to be ok. You trained her, just like me. She will get through this." Marlo said, smiling at him.

"Yeah, but at what cost does she survive this? We still have a leak to deal with and the Galloway Boys are ruthless."

"Sam, look at me, she can do this and she will come back. The question is are you still going to fight for her or let it go." Marlo then walked away.

Sam went to the locker room and stretched out on the bench. He just needed to think.


Andy woke up to noise downstairs; she was not sure what was going on. She sat up in bed just in time to see SRU coming into the room.

"SRU, put your hands up."

Andy just sat there, putting her hands behind her head lacing her fingers together.

One of the SRU guys handcuffed her, threw a jacked over her shoulders and led her downstairs. The she saw Josh, handcuffed and being lead out the door. She was then put in the back of the police car while Josh was put in another.

The officer in the front seat looked in the mirror and said, "I am Officer Mitchell, I will be taking you to our station to be processed and then you will be transferred down to Toronto PD 15 division. Do you understand?"

"Yes" Andy answered quietly.


Dov walked into the locker room and found Sam. Sam sat up as soon as he heard Dov walk in. "What?"

"St. Catharines PD called they have Josh and Andy in custody, they will be transferred down to us in six hours."

Sam sighed finally she is safe he thought.

Dov answered Sam's next questions with out him asking. "She seems no worse for the wear. I am going to go tell the girls."

Sam sat up, six hours and he had to decide what he was going to do.


Andy and Josh were processed at St. Catharines PD and put into separate cells. Andy sat in the corner and leaned against the wall, she as tired and started to dose since she was the only one in the cell. Josh on the other hand had company and he was worried.

Officer Mitchell walked up to Andy's cell. "Heather, the ride for you and Josh back to Toronto will be ready in an hour. "

Andy just nodded.

True to his word, Officer Mitchell came and got her an hour later and put her in a transport vehicle. Josh was already in the vehicle and looking more nervous as ever.

Andy looked at Josh, smiled and leaned her head up against the window. She was fast a sleep before they were even on the highway.

Josh just watched her sleep, worried why she was sleeping so much.

She didn't wake up until they had arrived at the 15 station and the doors opened. Josh was pulled out of the car first by Chris.

Then Andy saw Noelle, Noelle reached in to remove Andy from the car. Noelle started to grab Andy by the left arm but saw her flinch, so instead grabbed her by the shoulder and lead her into booking.

Noelle, walked into booking with Andy, motioned to the officer behind the desk, "can you buzz me in, the detectives want to talk to her first and now."

Josh turned and started shouting, "Leave her alone, she didn't do anything, it was all me. Leave her alone." Josh started fighting Chris. Chris pushed Josh up against the wall and proceeded to shove him into a cell. Chris shouted over Josh, "Shut up!"

Josh kept screaming, "Heather, its going to be ok. Heather."

The door out of booking shut. Andy couldn't hear anything else from Josh.

Noelle quietly asked "Are you OK? You seem warm to the touch."

"Just tired." Andy shrugged.

Noelle led her to an interview room. Noelle opened the door, took Andy in, sat her down, and took the cuffs off. "I will go get you some water OK."

"Thanks"

Andy put her head down on the table and before she knew it, she was a sleep again.

Noelle came back into the room to discover her asleep again. She set the water down and quietly left the room.

Marlo and Traci came up just as Noelle shut the door. Noelle stopped them, "She just put her head down and fell asleep. Let her be for a few. Work over Josh and use Andy for a bargaining chip, he seems to really worry about her and her being safe."

Marlo and Traci readily agreed, just as Sam walked up. Noelle stood outside the door and stopped him to. "She just put her head down and is sleeping. Leave her be."

Marlo grabbed Sam's arm and lead him away, "Lets go get Josh and find out what is going on with him."

"No, I think I am going to stay here with Noelle for a little while." Sam said, as he broke free from Marlo.

Traci went to go have Josh transferred into another interview room.

Chris came out of booking with Josh and headed to interview room 2. Traci and Marlo watched as Chris sat Josh down and handcuffed him to the table. Chris shut the door and turned to Traci, "He seems really worried about how everyone is treating Heather. He also asked if Officer Walker was posted here."

Traci and Marlo perked up. Was this the officer on Galloway Boys payroll?

Traci and Marlo walked into the room. Hoping this was going to bring some good info.

Sam turned back to Noelle who was on the phone, "Thanks Ben, if you and Jill could stop by and check on her for me that would be great. Thanks again." She snapped her phone shut. "Sam don't give me that look, I just want my EMT friend and his partner to check her out. She seemed warm and I just want someone who is not a druggy to look at her."

Sam pinched his nose and leaned up against the wall next to Noelle. Noelle took a look at him and sighed, "forgiveness is not a natural human emotion. You have to work at it. If you are going to fight for her, you are going to have to forgive her and she forgive you."

Sam took a deep breath, "I know."
