Rated T
I do not own Rookie Blue
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."
Sam turned to Noelle, "I take it your not going to let anyone in that door are you."
"Nope"
"Fine I am going to sit in the observation room and I want to be alone."
"Long as you don't bother Andy, I won't have a problem with it. Bother her and I will retrain your ass. Got it."
"I know better than to mess with Mama Noelle."
Sam turned and went into the observation room. At least then he could think and watch her. She looked so peaceful just sitting there with her head down on the table, her hair flowing all over the desk. He wanted to just walk in and hold her, help her sleep soundly and drive away any nightmares she had.
The door to the observation opened and Frank walked in.
Sam chuckled, "I take it Noelle wouldn't let you in there either?"
"No, she seems to think she is the boss right now, " Frank said while he shook his head.
The door opens again, all Sam could think was so much for me being alone.
Noelle nods to Frank and said, "My friend is here to check on her, I am going to wake her up and tell her what is going to happen. After they clear her I will come get you guys so she can be debriefed. Ok?"
Sam and Frank answer at the same time, "Deal"
They watch as Noelle goes into the room and kneels in front of Andy, "She speaks softly and calls Andy's name while touching her arm."
No one was expecting the reaction that happened, Andy was up fist flying and backed up into a corner. Noelle just stood up and stopped moving. With a calm, soothing voice proceeded to talk to her "Andy, its ok. Remember you at the station, its me, Noelle, see, I just want a friend of mine to check you out. Ok?"
All of them could see Andy just shaking violently and confusion was written all over her face. Sam quickly darted out of the observation room and went to go into the interview room, Frank hot on his heals.
Sam walked in and stood next to Noelle, Noelle is still trying to talk her through it, so she can calm down. Sam walks towards her with a bottle of water, "Andy, why don't you drink something and sit down ok?"
Andy shook her head and slides down the wall to the floor. Everything was so confusing for her, she couldn't get her mind to concentrate and now she was feeling sick to her stomach. Noelle calmly starts talking again, "Andy, my friend, who is an EMT is going to take a look at you ok? "
"I need a ..." Andy clamps her hand over her mouth.
Sam knew what that meant; he quickly exits and gets a trashcan and rushes it back in and puts it in front of her. Andy starts heaving. Everyone gives her minute to recover, watched her lean against the wall, trying to gain her bearings and just continued to shake. Sam tried to hand her water and she just leaned against the wall, eyes glazed over.
Noelle motions for Ben and Jill to come into the room. Sam and Noelle step back, Jill pushes the trashcan away while Ben started to do vitals on her.
Ben looks over at Jill concerned, "BP is 200/100, temp is 112. " Ben starts scanning Andy looking for a cause for such high temp and blood pressure. The turns to Noelle, "Did she get injured somewhere?"
Andy eyes keep fluttering from open to close. She can't concentrate and the room seems to keep spinning. She wonders why the keep talking about her like she is not there.
"She is favoring her left arm when I brought her in, we know she was patched up by a druggy a few days ago," said Noelle shacking her head.
Ben rolls up her left sleeve and sees the wound and notices red streaks running from it up and down her arm. Jill sees it and bolts out of the room. Ben grabs an IV bag and starts fluids while he starts to calmly talking to Andy, "Andy I need to start and IV on you, we want to make you feel better ok. Do you understand?"
They all thought Andy shook her head, but her whole body was shaking, so they were not sure. Sam was starting to get impatient, "What is wrong with her?"
Ben held up one finger and continued doing the IV and Jill rushed in with the stretcher. Ben looks over at Sam "Can you help me get her on the stretcher please, we have to take her to the Hospital now. Noelle, we are going to take her to Mercy, I think she is septic. That would explain the confusion, high temp and high blood pressure."
Ben grabbed Andy's legs while Sam grabbed her from under her arms. They got her up on the stretcher and buckled in. They started to wheel her out when Noelle speaks up "Sam are you going with her or am I."
Ben turns and looks at both of them, "make a decision quick, we have got to go, we are taking her to Mercy."
"I am going with her, Noelle meet me at Mercy, tell Frank and Traci please," Sam answered as he followed Ben out the door.
They were at the hospital in no time, Sam was told to wait in the lobby while they worked on Andy.
Sam went into the lobby to see that Gail was already sitting there.
Gail turned to look at him, "Noelle called me to say you were coming. I was upstairs with Nick."
Sam sat down in the chair and put his head in his hands. Gail started rubbing his back. Gail quietly whispered, "She is going to be ok. She is strong."
An hour later, Traci showed up. Sam looked up at her, "How did it go with Josh?"
"We got the name of the leak in the department, we got all kinds of information on what the club owner Mike was doing, a bunch of new information on the Galloway boys and all we had to do is tell him that Heather would take the fall for the shooting unless he talked. He spewed all kinds of information and is still spewing to Marlo. "
Sam shook his head, "At least the OP is now over and we can move forward."
Traci cleared her throat, "Here comes the doctor."
They all stood up, the Doctor looks around "You are all here for Officer McNally, correct?"
Sam answered first, "Yes"
"Ok, it looks like she was shot and was treated, but she ended up getting an infection. It went septic, so we are giving her a broad spectrum of antibiotics. I have to ask, has she been through an accident of some kind in the past couple of months?"
Traci and Sam shook their heads no but unsure.
"Well, it looks like she has been through some trauma, we found several healed fractures on her ribs, a partially healed spiral facture on her left wrist, we have that in a splint for now, she has hair line fractures that look like they are healing on her cheek bone and the back of her head. Her back has several bruises that are in varying different degrees of healing. None of them new, most have a yellowish tint to it so we know they are not new. She is malnourished and dehydrated. So we are going to keep her for a few days, a nurse will come and get you when she is settled in her room. Any questions?"
Traci looked at Sam's face and answered, "Thank you doctor, we look forward to seeing her."
Traci grabbed Sam's hand, "Sam look at me, we knew that some guy named Tony roughed her up. We knew this. Sam, look at me, please!"
"How could Nick and Luke turn the other way on this?"
"I don't know but we will figure it out. Ok."
Noelle, Frank and Oliver walked in the door. Traci walked over to them and gave them the brief. Frank walked over to Sam, "UC operations can be rough you know this, Sam. I don't need you beating the crap out of Nick or Luke, do you understand me?"
"Yeah, I got it."
"Do you?"
"Crystal clear," with that Sam walked out of the hospital.
Frank turned to Gail, "How is Nick doing?"
"He still in and out of it but seems to be healing fine. I am going back up to his room."
Frank turned to Noelle and Oliver, "Which one of you is going to brief the rookies and which one is going to stay with Andy?"
Oliver spoke first, "I will go back to the station and brief the rest of the rookies, try again to get a hold of Tommy and try to calm Sam down."
With that, Oliver walked away, leaving Frank and Noelle to talk.
After about an hour, the nurse came out and gave Frank and Noelle her room number. She informed her that she as not situated in her room and they could go up in about 30 minutes. Frank thanked the nurse. Noelle called the sitter to check on how things were going and confirmed with Frank he would get the baby, then Noelle arranged for Traci to break her for dinner and asked her to make arrangements for someone to come in and sit with Andy until she woke up.
Frank held Noelle for a brief second and then told her to head on up to Andy's room.
Noelle found the room and was about to walk into the room when she saw Gail walk up.
"Noelle, Nick is missing from his room, the guard posted outside his door has no idea what happened."
All Noelle could do was stand there with her mouth open, wondering what is with these two.
