Authors Note 1: I wasn't totally happy with last chapter, but I'm starting to tire from writing every day for about 2-3 hours not including proof reading so updates might slow to every other day. Who knows I might finally get a good night's sleep. This story is keeping me up at night. This chapter is going to split in 2/3rds with the point of views.
Chapter Dedications: I have one from a chapter 3 and 2 from chapter 4:
Chapter3: Have-A-Break, Chapter 4: dcj and kmart92
Calling Out For Help:Forever and maybe?
Luke:
Pulling my car into the parking lot of an abandoned apartment complex I am met by the sound of police sirens blaring still and an ambulance loading the injured getting ready to take them to the hospital for treatment.
I look around and see multiple yellow bags holding the medium sized masses, knowing atomically that those were my murder victims. Weaving through all of the patrol cars, and uniformed cops I was heading to where Jerry and Best were standing.
"Ok Jerry what's so important that you called me at 2:30 in the morning after I just finished wrapping up the Nixon case?"
Jerry and Frank sheared a knowing look and what was said next made my heart heavy with dread.
"When we arrived here it looked like a normal drug deal gone wrong, really wrong this time. However things got a little crazy once we started to ID the 6 murder victims and the 3 injured." I nodded in understand, there were a lot of victims involved that caused more havoc while trying to ID and get statements. As Jerry starts his next phrase he points to one body that is maybe 10 feet from where we were standing.
"That one over there turned out to be an undercover cop out of the 10th division. We're trying to get a hold of the 10th to see who they have undercover and were also in contact with Guns and Gang, more important than all that, the shots that were fired were shot with an amazing accuracy. All the murder victims received one shot start to the heart."
"So were looking for a cop killer that has an unbelievable ability to shoot a gun. Jerry come on you could have handled this one yourself, why did you call me in?"
Frank looked at me before leading me to my car telling me to wait back at the station until he got there and he would finish filling me in on the details. I knew right away that we weren't just looking for a cop killer anymore. We were looking for someone who knew the legal system inside and was a danger to everyone involved with the case.

Sam:
Waking up this morning, I knew something was different for two reasons.
Reason number one: I woke up more rested that ever before and it was ten o'clock in the morning meaning I only got about four hours of sleep probably a little less. Four hours was normally barely enough to get me to functioning fully if I was lucky.
Reason number two: I felt a weight resting on my chest and arms wrapped around my waist. With softest hair I ever felt tickling my skin.
Looking down at reason number two I can't help but allow my face to break out into a huge smile, stretching so wide I'm sure my face muscles will hurt for the rest of the day. She looked peaceful sleeping on me, so much so that I didn't have the heart to move at all and wake her up. Instead I lay back thinking about all that was to come with McNally and I, what I believed was going to be the best part of my life. It was going to be all I ever dreamed it would be. Yea, I'm turning into a sap I know, but I can't help it I'm in love.
Laying back for a few moments I can't help but start running my fingers through her brown locks. They were so soft and felt so good running in between my fingers, something I had imagined doing since, well longer than I would like to admit. I guess I was doing something right, I heard Andy moan and saw her trying to snuggle deeper into my lower chest and upper stomach.
If I thought my smile couldn't get any bigger I was wrong, it grew so much from that little bit of movement that I couldn't help but wonder if my skin was splitting open to allow the amount of stretching I was sure was happening.
Before I knew it my phone's alarm went off signaling me it was 10:30 AM. As much as I hated to do it I had to wake Andy if we were going to arrive on time to work.
Sitting up enough to lean my head down and lay a soft skin on the top of her head I start the process of waking her up.
"Andy you have to get up, we've got to get ready for work sweetie." Saying this softly into her ear got a response, though not the one I thought she would give.
"Mhmmmm no! I don't want to wake up yet! 5 more minutes please?"
Laughing at her little kid voice, that sounded like she was asking for more sleep before getting ready for school I can't help but give in.
"How about this, you sleep while I take a shower and once I'm out I will wake you up. While you're in the shower I'll make you the famous Sam Swarek breakfast. Sound good?"
"That sounds great Sam!"
I start trying to remove myself from the warm bed, but Andy quickly locks her arms around me tighter. I didn't have the heart to break the hold, but I knew I needed to.
"Sweetheart, in order for me to take a shower and get your breakfast started I have to get up now. "
Andy groaned at the mention of letting me move and leave her, and I couldn't help but rub my hand over her arm relishing in the feeling of her soft skin under my rough hands.
"New plan" I hear her mumble as her grip once again tightened on my waist, her nails digging into my skin stretching around my back, but I felt no pain from it; "you call Best, tell him you're not coming into work. I'll do the same and we just stay home today, preferably in this comfortable bed and in this position all day. Now that sounds like a good plan."
"Hmmm" I hum into her hair, breathing in her scent wondering if I would ever get enough of it. "That does sound like a good plan. I'm almost convinced. What else you got?"
Andy laughs, "Well we never did really talk about where our relationship stands last night before I fell asleep. Like what are boyfriend girlfriend, just friends for awhile until I get my own place? We could talk about that and get those things ironed out before going back."
"Done, ill call Be…." As I was trying to finish saying Best's name my phone started to ring.
Incoming call: Frank Best
"Speak of the devil "I say before answering the call, lying back down with Andy for a few minutes.
"Swarek"
"Sam, I know you got off late last night but I need you to get to the station now. On your way do you think you could find McNally as well?"
While Best was talking Andy crawled up to sit her back against the headboard of the bed, laying a kiss to my cheek as she did, which was distracting me as I trying to focus on what Best said.
"Yea, I'll track McNally down and well be there within the hour."
"Thanks, just head to the parade room when you get here I have to brief everyone on a case."
"Will do."
After hanging up the phone with Best I look over at Andy, who I can't tell is slightly disappointed after catching blips of Frank's end of the phone call.
"Sorry Andy, rain check?" I hated saying that to her, I knew we both were dying to define this relationship and talk about where we think it's headed. She nods before allowing her disappointment to seep in her voice as she says "Rain check, but Sam we really do need to figure out what we're doing here."
"I know, how about after shift. I'll make us dinner and well sort all this out then."
"Ok, after shift it is."

After lying in bed for a few more moments together, we just couldn't motivate ourselves to untangle our bodies, we split up and take our showers, me in the master shower after Andy insisted she would use the guest shower. Getting out shortly after entering I throw on some clean clothing pack my work bag full of a clean uniform and head to my kitchen. I pull out some pop tarts for the ride to the station; we were running out of time to get to the division within the hour.
"SAM! Have you seen my bag! I need it! It has my uniform in it and we're going to be late if we don't leave like….ten minutes ago!"
Chuckling I yell back to her, "It's by the front door."
"Ohhh. Thanks!" I hear her call back as I see her back retreat from the guest room where she changed clothes walking towards the bathroom.
"Andy you have 5 minutes before I come to the bathroom and carry you out to the truck!" I jokingly yell back at her, the banter was second nature to us by now.
"Well hold your horses geezz! I'm ready, let's roll partner!"
Shaking my head I grab both our bags along with our breakfast. I hand Andy two to-go cups of coffee as she comes to the kitchen.
"Then let's get going slow poke!"
Turning around so I could see her tongue poke out I start thinking how easy this morning was. I was expecting some awkwardness but we just fell into a routine. One I hoped to continue for the rest of our lives.
Walking out of the house I lock the door and we get into the truck. I was ready to start and end today's shift so I could come home and figure out my relationship with the beauty sitting next to me. Her soft voice drags me back to reality and away from my own world shortly after I started my day dreaming.
"What are you staring at?"
Not realizing I was staring at her I smile and just say "the most beautiful woman in the world."
Watching Andy blush I smile put the truck in gear and drive to the station as Andy reaches over and grabs my hand, where it fit perfectly. She was my missing puzzle piece.
Did I really just say that? I really am turning into a horribly sappy guy. Oh well, she's worth it.

Arriving to the station I look over and see Andy peering out the window. I look out as well and see the blond detective that broke her heart walking with Jerry. They were talking about something intensely.
Sighing I knew she was over Luke, but he was still a part of her past, even if I did hate that fact it was never going to go away; even if I was jealous at him for having Andy first he was always going to be there.
Andy broke the silence a short moment later, "We should head in and find out why we got called in early and had to postpone our wonderful morning we had planned out. Meet you in parade?"
Smiling at her and brushing my thumb across her cheek I respond to her question before my frustration got the better of me.
"Sure, hopefully it's nothing major, but for Frank to call us in early it has to be big."
I jump out of the truck slamming the door a little harder than I meant to, but I was a little frustrated at myself. Walking around the back end of the truck I see Andy waiting for me with both of our bags in her hand. Quickly taking those out of her hand like the gentlemen my mother taught me to be I motion for her to lead the way, watching her walk ahead before following after her.

Walking into the men's locker room I see Oliver buttoning up this uniform shirt.
"Hey Ollie."
"Ahhh there's the man of the hour! I saw you and Andy arrive together. "
Rolling my eyes I respond in my slightly irritated voice, but mostly jokingly. "Don't start man! I got enough teasing from both you and Jerry to last a life time the other night."
"So are you going to spill or am I going to have to pester you and Andy until I get some information?"
"Just let me get changed and I'll fill you in."
I open my locker and starting to take off my civilian clothing, Oliver starts to talk again. "Well hurry up, this has been a year and half in the making and I don't know if my wife can wait one more moment to find out the ending to soap opera ah la 15th division!"
Shaking my head, this was typical Oliver. While pulling on my uniform pants and shirt I start talking, "Nice, blame the wife. Why don't you just admit that you and Jerry are worse about gossip than Nash, Peck and McNally?"
Oliver chuckles before sitting down to tie his shoes, waiting for me to finish dressing and to start spilling what happened last night to him.
Finishing up a couple minutes later I close my locker after placing my bag in it, and sit on the cold wooden bench that divided the row of lockers in two as I start talking to Oliver.
"Basically the short version was once I got home Andy called and said she needed me. I picked her up from Nash's place and took her to mine. We both told one another our feelings and then we went to sleep."
Placing his hand on my shoulder Oliver smiles while asking me a million questions.
"So are you and her together now? Is she going to stay with you at your house? Did you tell her you loved her?"
See, worse than a girl sometimes, I imagine Andy is going through the same thing in her locker room with Nash and maybe Peck. Overwhelmed I quickly interrupt Ollie before he can ask any more questions.
"Hold on Ollie! Slow down there bucko, one question at a time please I'm running on only four hours of sleep." Seeing Oliver's eyes widen at that comment I am quick to shut that question down. "No Oliver nothing like that happened, we haven't even actually kissed yet. Now back to your original questions. We didn't get to "define" the relationship yet, such as what we are. No I didn't tell her I loved her, well maybe I did I'm pretty sure I may have mumbled it during my sleep but that doesn't count because we were both asleep."
After I finished answering the rest of Oliver's millions questions we both head to the parade room to wait for the briefing on why we were all calling in early.

A few minutes of waiting I watch Andy and Taci run into the parade room just as Best walks in, looking over at the two girls sitting down I notice they both have huge smiles plastered on their faces. They were totally up to something, and those smiles gave it away. Shaking my head I see Andy looking at me. Turning my head towards her I wink and watch her blush as Frank starts today's parade.
"Good morning officers. I know most of you are running on less than 5 hours of sleep but something came up in the middle of the night and I need all available officers. Last night, or I guess early this morning we got called to the shooting." As Best was talking I see Jerry roll over the bulletin board, which was full of papers, more so than I had ever seen.
"Around 1:45 am there was a murder and attempted murder. We have a total of nine victims. Six were murdered, and three were wounded. One of the murdered was an undercover cop out of the 10th division. There was a gun left at the scene. We are in process of requiring the owner's name. As we were looking at the gun, we noticed it was a police issued gun. We found the serial number, and checked to see if it was reported missing, it wasn't."
Adding all the fact together, I knew we were now not only looking for a cop killer, we were looking for one of our own who has ended up on the wrong side of the law. Sighing I rub my forehead already feeling a headache coming on. It was going to be a long sift. Tuning back into Best I come back to realty catching him say,
"We are now looking at person working in the law enforcement profession. This will make the investigation and catching this suspect that much harder because the person will think like we do. On that note, Serve Protect and don't let your guard down today, anything could happen."
Hearing the parade room door open I look over and see detective Jo walk back in.
I thought she left.
Apparently I wasn't the only one feeling this way I see Jerry roll his eyes, and Oliver groan.
"Oh and one more thing, because this is such a huge case Detective Jo will be sticking around a little while longer. I expect personal business to stay just that…personal. "Best said the last sentence while glancing between Luke, Andy, Jo and myself. Looking over at Andy I see her eyes looked like brown steel bars, her guard had gone back up, and her smile left her face, probably to never return today, at least while we were inside the division building. Sighing I knew something was about to happen, I could feel it in my gut. I just hoped whatever it was it would leave Andy and me alone.
