Authors Note 1: This is spilt into multiple points of view again, I think almost every chapter from here on out will be. Makes it easier to tell the story faster, and I think it makes the story a little more full, but please let me know if you don't like the multiple points of view in one chapter because that's an easy fix and I wouldn't mind doing it at all!
Calling Out For Help: Our Song?
Andy:
Hearing the alarm go off in the morning I try to snuggle deeper into Sam not wanting him to get up. Sam finally shuts the loud blaring noise off and starts running his hand up and down my back, sending me into a state of utter sleepiness again.
"I have to get up Andy."
I mumble something into his warm skin and he just chuckles before asking to clarify what I said. Sighing I move my face, to uncover my mouth so I could talk.
"I said ok, but that breakfast really could wait until we are off these crazy shifts, laying here with you is enough for now."
"Oh for now Hun? When will it become not enough? I need a time frame to make sure I can up the ante and keep you satisfied. "
Laughing I roll over and place my head on his pillow just a few centimeters from his and look into his eyes.
"You know you have become such as sap here lately. Anyway you will always be enough for me Sam."
"Yea well when I have a beautiful woman sleeping in my bed and kissing me saying she needs me I tend to become a little soft around my hard edges. But of course that's only for a woman named Andréa McNally. Do you happen to know her by chance? She's a great cop."
Laughing I push Sam away a little bit and roll over on my back looking up at the white ceiling.
"Sam what are we going to do about work? I mean are we going to tell anyone? "
Sam sighs and leans up to rest his forearm on his pillow and leans his hand to his head and uses it to hold his head up forming a triangle between the body parts.
" I don't know Andy. Maybe we should keep it on the down low. As I told you the other day, the ones who really care for you are going to find out. They will know just by looking at our faces because neither one of us can keep a smile off for longer than a few seconds."
"Yea, let's keep it on the down low and just tell our close friends. I don't want to be spilt from you while on patrol. I would worry too much about you to focus."
Sam smiles before relaying the same thoughts to me in his own unique way, "Same here Andy, I would feel the exact same as you. Now I really do need to get in the shower, because I'm making you a good breakfast."
"Ok, wake me when you get out? I'm going to sleep for a few more minutes."
"Will do baby."
Sam quickly moves out of the bed after giving me a sweet simple kiss. I could help but internally groan and him walking around the room only covered by a pair of form fitting boxer briefs.
"Sam unless you want me to join you in the shower you better get your handsome butt in there."
Turning around Sam is smirking as he comes over to me leaning down to whisper something in my ear. "Who said I didn't want you in the shower with me?"
I had to push Sam away and dig myself deep into the warm white sheets covering his bed before pulling him down and making us late for work. Hearing the bathroom door shut I smile and close my eyes falling asleep for the last remaining minutes before starting another crazy day with my boyfriend beside me.

Sam stayed true to his word and woke me up after he got out of the shower and was dressed. I looked over at the clock and saw it was 8:20, perfect timing.
Kissing Sam before pulling off his jersey and stepping into the shower I hurry through my shower routine so I could taste "Sam Swarek's famous breakfast."
After taking a warm shower I get dresses in some jeans and a long sleeved green t-shirt. The news I heard playing in the living room said something about a high being around 55 degrees today. Walking out of the bedroom I place my overnight bag by the dresser in the room and start walking down the hallway to the stairs leading to the lower level.
The cold hardwood floors running throughout the house made my feet cold so I turn around going back to the bedroom and grab a pair of socks before going downstairs.
As I make it down the stairs I start smelling all of the wonderful breakfast smells I missed a child after my mom left. My dad was never one to cook at all. I walk up behind Sam and wrap my long forest green sleeved covered arms around his stomach.
"Good morning." I say to him just before I plant my lips against his neck, I feel his abs tighten as I kiss him and I can't help but feel happy about making him feel that way.
"Morning, coffee is over there" he points with the spatula towards a cup, " I already made it the way you like it about a minute ago so it might still be scalding."
"Thank you, breakfast smells wonderful! What all are you making?"
Sam puts the dirty pan he finished using in the sink and kissed me quickly before moving to grab something out of the oven.
"Well I made eggs, bacon, pancakes and biscuits. I think that should be enough right? Oh and the pancakes are either regular, or chocolate chip and we have some fresh fruit as well."
Taking in a breath through my noise I can smell the wonderful smells of this amazing looking breakfast. It made my mouth water.
"It smells so good. Thank you for making this Sam." Sam leans over and kisses me, and pulls away before it can get out of hand.
"You're welcome Andy. Let's eat its 9 and we need to leave in about 20 minutes, so that we have enough time to change and get grilled by our friends about our relationship status."
I help Sam take everything into the dining room again and go back to bring both our coffees after refilling them. Sitting down I feel Sam's hand make contact with my leg. His thumb rubs smooth circles over my jeans as we eat. I can't remember a time I have ever been this comfortable with a man before.

Breakfast was finished fast, we were both starving and it was too wonderful to stop eating. Sam took our plates into the kitchen putting them in the skin to rinse off and leave to clean later. I follow and bring our empty coffee mugs. After rinsing those off I see Sam grabbing the to-go mugs from yesterday and filling them. I smile heading out of the kitchen to get my boots and jacket on.
A few seconds later Sam comes into the room and hands me the to-go mugs then pulls on his shoes and jacket and grabs both of our bags so we can head to the division to start what is sure to be another long day.
Walking out to the truck once he locked the front door of his house, he opens the passenger door for me. When I thought he was going to shut the door he actually steps up on the rail to help people get up into the cab and kisses me deeply. He pulls away a few moments later to catch his breath.
"That's because I won't be able to do that all day, and I know it's going to drive me crazy."
"Mhhmm... It might just kill me. I'm becoming addicted to your kisses Sam Swarek."
He smiles before getting off the rail and shutting my door. Opening the back passenger door he throws our bags in and runs around the truck trying to get out of the cold morning.
"It's freezing out there!"
"I know, which is going to make it a crazy patrol day. I swear when it rains or is cold people drive like an alien abducted their brain cells!"
Sam laughs at my little rant as he pulls the truck out of the short driveway. Reaching over he turns the heat up and also turns the radio on. The song playing automatically think of my relationship with the gorgeous broody man sitting next to me with his hand inter woven with mine.
Somethin' in the way you throw your hair back over your shoulder
Somethin' in the way you smile when you lookin my way
Well I got no concerns;
The days are long and the nights are gettin colder,
Because of this I've got to try to honor you hunny
Please its gunna be alright
Baby I never wished for a change in my condition,
I'm not rich but I know that the sun will shine for me
Listening to the song as it finished playing a few moments, I hear the radio show host tell the listeners the song was change in my condition by keegan. I look over at Sam as we stopped at light and we both say at the same time,
"Our song?"
We both laugh and nod to one another our agreement even though it was pretty obvious we already agreed with one another.
A few moments later we pull into the division parking lot. I glance at the clock and see its 9:35 we had about five minutes before we really had to go inside. I turn my head and look out at the leaves blowing against the parking lot. They were so beautiful. Fall was my favorite time, well minus the cold weather I could probably do without that.
"We should head in." Sam says as I turn to look at him. I lean over and kiss him, for what might the last time for well over 12 hours.
"Yea, let's go."
Sam gets out and I open my door before he is able to get around to it and I feel his arm wrap around my waist.
"I thought we were going to keep this on the DL Sam?"
"Oh we are, but yesterday I did this a lot so I think we will be ok if we allow some touching. "
I nod as he unwraps himself from me to get our bags. We walk into the division, unknowing of what a crazy day it was going to turn into.

Sam:
Walking towards the men's locker room after watching my girlfriend, it feels so good to finally be able to classify Andy as that, go into her own locker room I see Oliver following me, a knowing look written over his face.
"Hold it Ollie; I'll answer your questions once we getting the locker room."
I glance back and see him nod and just continue to walk behind me. As soon as the door shut and we saw we were the only ones in the room I hear Ollie whoop with happiness.
"WOOHOO! Yes I win I win I win!"
I catch what he was saying and quickly looked over at him doing his old man dance while questions were running ramped through my mind about what he won.
"Yea old man dancing, chain that thing down and get over here and tell me exactly what you won why don't you?"
"Who are you calling old man old buddy? If I remember correctly someone is only a few days younger than me. That classifies you as old to."
"Thanks for the update there Oliver, I really don't need a reminder of how old I am." While saying this I open the dark blue locker and start getting my uniform ready to put on. I look over at Oliver and see him smirking. I wasn't expecting his next comment.
"What is the younger misses already wearing you out?"
"Hahaha, really funny Ollie, and no she's not, in case you forgot we've all been working crazy hours lately."
"Yea sure whatever you say. Anyway, so what are you and McNally now?"
"Were finally together", I tell Oliver with a smile on my face and stress the word finally. Buttoning up my shirt and tucking it into my pants I put my bag in my locker and shut it.
"Good for you man good for you."
We both sit in silence while lacing up our shoes, and start heading towards the parade room.
"Don't think I've forgotten about your little "I win" chant Ollie. I will find out what you won."
Oliver snapped his fingers, as we walked out and he saw Andy. He hugged her and I heard him whisper his congratulations to her. I smile and follow the two into the parade room. Andy sits next to Traci who is texting someone, Jerry I bet with the way he's looking at his phone as if trying to make it ding alerting him to a text message, and I stand in the back as I normally do.
Best walks in a few moments later with Noelle behind him. Both with crazy smiles on their faces and their lips looked a little swollen.
Woohh! Williams and Best are together! About dang time!
I look at Andy and see her eyebrow quark and I know she's thinking the same thing as me.
"Good morning officers of 15th division. We don't have any new leads currently on the cop killer. We still have forensics lab working on particles found at the scene so I keep everyone updated when we get more. Other than that keep eyes and ears open today please. The weather is getting colder and people start driving crazy around this time because of holidays coming up."
Frank continued on for an undetermined amount of time but I kept moving my eyes to Andy who was doing the same thing. She was sitting at the corner of a desk so she was half turned towards Frank and half towards me. I smile and look down but what was said next shocked both of.
"I hear congratulations are in order for two fellow officers. It's about dang time McNally and Swarek! It took you long enough to finally get together!"
"WHAT?" Andy and I both shout at the same time.
"Oh please, you two are so obvious!" Williams and Jerry both say within a few seconds of one another.
Frank smiles and puts his two cents in as well, "I mean come on Sammy, you're smiling, so that means something is up. McNally over here can't keep her eyes off of you. You're both facing one another. It's so obvious."
Looking over at McNally I see her blushing and trying to hide her face in her hands. I can't help but chuckle and look down at my shoes, slightly embarrassed that we were both so obvious.
Oliver breaks me out of my embarrassment when this lame comments.
"Ooooo! Busted buddy! So much for a low profile old man! I thought you were good at this under cover thing!"
The whole room busts out laughing at Oliver's comment and I can't help but laugh to. Leave it to Oliver to break the tension building in the room.
"Well if you're all done goofing off now, I would like to hear the rest of Best's notes on today. So shut up!"
Everyone recognized that voice as soon as it came out of her mouth.
"Jo shut up" a bunch of officers spout off, and I can't help but laugh even more. Jo was so unwelcomed it was comical.
"OK people back to my briefing. Diaz you and Epstein together, Peck I want you riding with Nash and Williams you're on desk with Shaw in booking. McNally and Swarek I can't believe I'm saying this but you make great partners so I won't break you up for now, but please don't make me regret it! Serve Protect, and embarrass McNally and Swarek some more!"
Everyone starts heading towards there assigned partners and start rolling out of the division.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
The beginning of shift started out normal, a couple of car wrecks, a shoplifter, nothing exciting. I felt like it was going to be a boring day. I kept thinking back to the murders. Something wasn't right, I couldn't place it though. It kept bugging me all shift.
A few hours into our shift Andy and I were stopped on the highway conducting a speed trap with Diaz and Epstein Nash and Peck and a few other officers. Andy and I were radar checking the speeds of the passing cars while the other partners would go after the speeders that Andy and I determined were too fast and needed a ticket.
During a slow moment, I finally get a chance to talk to Andy.
"So much for keep this relationship on the down low."
Andy chuckles and just responds with "Oh well, I didn't think we were that obvious but I guess now we don't have to worry and have this hanging over our heads we can just be."
"True, I never really thought of it in that way. I just wanted to make you happy. I'm ok with people knowing about us. They need to get use to it, because this is a forever thing for me."
Looking over at Andy I see her eyes watering, "Don't cry!"
"They are happy tears I swear! This is a forever thing for me to Sam."
Smiling we kiss lightly, and go back to the radar gun catching a blue older Honda right away. Andy quickly radios the information to the other officers.
"Blue Honda accord, older model, plate number NBH 4565, 85 in a 70."
"Copy that Diaz and Epstein on it."
Turning my head I see Diaz pull his patrol car onto the ramp he was waiting on and flicks his lights on, no doubt with Epstein grinning like a school boy the whole way.
"Blue Honda accord stopped."
The radio goes silent for awhile and I keep checking speeds of the cars, when the radio clicked back to life.
"Requesting back up, driver may have a gun. I repeat requesting back up driver may have a gun in car."
Andy quickly responds and flips on the lights as I put the radar gun in her lap and throw the car into gear quickly speeding to help out.
"Copy that 1504, McNally and Swarek responding."
Arriving at the scene a few short seconds later, I quickly get out of the car and draw my gun with my door protecting me. I glance and see Andy doing the same thing so I go ahead and start my commands.
"SIR! PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM."
The man puts his hands in the air and I give him the next command.
"OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH YOUR LEFT HAND WHILE KEEPING THE RIGHT IN THE AIR."
Once again the man does as told.
"STEP OUT OF THE CAR SIR."
The man steps out of the car, and I quickly move to handcuff him, but not without recognizing him.
"Officer Smith?"
"Hey Officer Swarek!"
I hand him off to Andy after I check to make sure he doesn't have anything on him.
"Officer McNally, take the suspect to the squad car will you and get us some gloves. We need to check his car."
Andy nods and takes Smith to the squad car. She comes back with gloves for herself, me, and Diaz. Epstein was waiting in the car with Officer Smith to make sure he didn't try to escape.
After a full car search we did find four guns, all of which he had permits for, so we couldn't take him to jail. I go back to the squad car and write up the ticket for Officer Smith's speeding.
As Andy and I were getting back in the car, we watch the blue Honda pull away and I hear my cell phone dig alerting me that I had a text message.
Frank wants all available units in parade room in 20. Something about the cop case has come up. –Noelle
I show Andy the text as I pull the car out on to the highway, I hear Andy radioing the information to the other officers that were doing the speed trap with us and shortly we are all heading back to the barn.
Walking into the parade room Frank starts his briefing.
"We have found the surveillance tapes of the gun room at the 10th division. We know who the officer that stole his gun is. Officer Caleb Smith is our suspect. He drives a bull Honda accord older model, with the license plate NBH 4565.
I look over at Andy who is standing next to me, I felt her tense up, and I know we may have just allowed the suspect to get away without even knowing it.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
Officer Caleb Smith, aka "killer":
I pull off the side of the highway pulling my blue Honda back into the road way watching my review mirror as the patrol cars slip farther and farther away from me. That was a close call. The boss wouldn't have been happy if I had been brought in.
I hear my phone ring a while later and see it's the boss, it was about 2 hours after my receiving my ticket.
"So you got caught speeding. You could have just caused us both to go down. You can't do that Smith, I'm a detective. I will keep the heat off but you can't be making stupid mistakes like that, or I will be forced to deal with you as well, but they know it's you that got Officer Mathews gun and killed those people, oh and only 6 were killed 3 were just injured."
"I understand."
"Good."
The line went dead I throw my phone into the passenger seat and pull of the highway at the exit that leads to a fast flowing river. It was the perfect place to throw my guns.

Author's Note 2: Well there is the 8th chapter! I know I left it as a cliff hanger but I think it needed one. Plus this chapter was getting way to big. I had to cut it somewhere!
Author's Note 3: Next chapter will have the murders plot totally unravel, and the real hunt begins. It will hit closer to home than anyone would expect.
Author's Note 4: Reviews are back to where I think they need to be in order for me to feel like people enjoy this story enough to continue putting worth an effort and my time. I hope traceyswarek like the preview! The song I am using as Sam and Andy's is change in my condition by keegan, here is the link for anyone who might want to listen to it .com/watch?v=QlXAttkXc7o.
