Calling Out For Help: Not No But Hell No
Andy:
Waking up in the morning, I feel totally un-rested. I could not get to sleep last night, for one very specific reason, I wasn't in Sam's arms. I didn't know where he was and that was eating at me. Getting out of bed, I take a shower in the bathroom joined to the guest room and pull on my clothing from yesterday. I didn't have another change of clothes and at this point I could really care less.
Breakfast was really good, Zoe could cook a mean omelet, but I was eager to get to the station and start looking for the love of my life. I always knew I needed him, but this reassured me that I needed him more than I even thought. I can't breathe without him, I can't sleep, I just need him near me, and I need him back.
Thanking Zoe for putting me up for the night, I walk out the door to wait by Oliver's car as he says goodbye to his beautiful family. I see him walk out the door, and turn around as Zoe throws him his keys. Oliver yells thank you, and walks towards me. I send up a prayer to whoever is listening in the sky to allow Sam and I to have the same life and happiness the Shaw family had.
"Come on McNally, I'm sure you're ready to get to the station by now."
I just nod, my voice still lost to my inner thoughts.
"Thank you Oliver for everything."
"You're welcome McNally. We're family, it's what we do. Plus, Sam is my best friend, and you make him happier than I've ever seen him. He would want you safe and we don't know if this person could come after you as well. "
Looking out the window I take in Oliver's comments. I had never thought about someone wanting to get me as well. I now had the priority of keeping myself safe, and healthy for when Sam came back.
I knew that when he came back to me, I would tell him everything. I would tell him he's it for me that I love him that I can't live without him. Even if it took every bit of strength I had, I would take down whoever took Sam from me. I didn't care what I had to sacrifice to bring him back.
The rest of the ride to the station was spent with me contemplating what I could do to bring Sam back to me, to our family at the 15th.

Arriving at the station I see that it is really early for our shift. I look over at Oliver and he just shrugs and smiles. I roll my eyes at him but smile a little as I get out of the parked car.
I see Traci walking in as well, and go towards her.
"What are you doing here so early Traci?"
Startled, apparently she didn't see me approach her, she looks at me before answering.
"Oliver's wife called me and told me that you could use a change of clothes. So I stopped by Luke's house and grabbed you some. Plus, I figured we could work out a little before shift."
I hug her as I say, "Thank you for going to get me new clothes Traci, working out sounds wonderful. What kind of work out do you have in mind?"
"I was thinking maybe a little kick boxing?" Traci replies, and I would have sworn she could read my mind, that was exactly the work out I wanted to tackle today.
"It's like you can read my mind!"
Traci laughs and I link my arm with hers and we walk into the locker room to change into workout clothes before heading to the boxing room.
As we change we chit chat a little bit, mostly about Leo and Jerry. I could tell she was trying to keep my mind off the Sam situation. I loved her for trying but I didn't want to stop thinking about him, it was what kept me going, thoughts of him gave me fuel to find him.
Sam always did tell me I had a "lion heart", I guess I was finally showing it to the full extent now.
Traci and I quickly finish our changing routines and start the short walk to the boxing room.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
Opening the door to the boxing room, I can't help but be assaulted my images of the last time I was in this room. Sam was here with me, trying to help me get over the whole Jo and Luke thing.
I remember him making me so frustrated because I didn't want to fight but he just kept lightly hitting me. Always remembering I was a woman, and keeping most of his strength out of the punches. Sam always was gentle with me, even when I infuriated him as a rookie.
Traci's voice breaks into my haze bringing me plummeting back to earth, back to my world without Sam right now.
"Andy, are you ok?"
I nod and start getting my gloves on. Traci does the same, sensing that I didn't want to talk about what had consumed my thoughts.
Traci holds up her hands and I start hitting them with as much force as I could, without hurting her of course.
"Damn Andy, hit any harder and I will be bruised!"
"Sorry Traci." I say sheepishly.
Traci just laughs at me and says, "It's ok; let's just move to bags so you can get this anger out that you apparently have."
"Sounds good" I tell my best friend as I nod to her.
As we continue our intense work out, I start to feel some of my anger reside, and I start feeling like I could control my hurt, and my pain in order to find Sam.
The door busting open breaks me out of my zone and I see Traci turn around and we find Best at the door.
"McNally my office now!"
That is all Best says before turning around and shutting the door. I look over at Traci who shrugs at me, and starts taking off her gloves. I follow her lead and do the same. Looking at my watch, I see it is 30 minutes before shift starts. We had been working out for over an hour.
Walking into Best's office I feel my muscles screaming out in pain from the impromptu work out I had just finished. Knocking on the door I hear Best's voice calling out tell me to enter.
"McNally, come in."
I open the cold metal door separating me from the office, and quickly sit down, not knowing what was about to happen.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
"WHAT?" I scream out and stand up, I start pacing the length of Best's office.
"Andy, Jo is the one who kidnapped Sam. I need you to sit down. "
I nod and sit down, but I was unable to keep from fidgeting.
"Jo's badge was found at the sight and she crumbled under pressure, telling us everything we needed to know. We have the address that Sam is at."
"Then let's go!" I jump up and start heading towards the door.
"McNally, I'm not telling you again! Sit your ass down in that chair."
Once again, I sit down as Frank orders. I feel tears coming to my eyes. Tears of joy that we knew where Sam was, tears of pain that we were even in this situation to start with, and tear of hatred towards Jo that she really was the one that has taken Sam from me leaving me alone and broken again, hadn't she already done that enough to me?
"Sir, please, I need him can we go now?"
Frank sighs and runs his large hands down his face.
"McNally, you can't come with. It is too dangerous, and your mind would not be focused on the task at hand. "
"Sir you can't ask me to stay here waiting on any news!"
"Yes I do, McNally. Let us do our job. We're trained for this type of situation, we have a lot of other division coming to help we won't need you there."
"I'm trained just the same sir! I can do my job, please Best. "
"No."
"Just let me sit in a car then! I promise I won't help or anything. I just need to be there sir."
Frank sighs and looks out his glass wall, before standing up and standing by the wall. It takes him what feels like hours, but really is only about five minutes before answering. He turns around and looks at me. I knew I looked horrible. I had yet to change out of my work out clothes and I knew I had tear tracks staining my face.
"If I let you sit in my SUV outside the location, you have to stay put and not move an inch until I clear you to do so."
"Thank you sir, and I promise I won't move an inch!"
"If you do McNally, I'm sticking you in desk duty until I feel like you've learned your lesson."
I nod and jump up out of seat and without thinking I hug Best.
"Thank you Sir."
"You're welcome McNally now go get changed and I want you in civilian clothing please."
Before I get to the door Best's voice calls me again, " McNally wait, I have one more thing to tell you. Luke is helping Jo, so please, I can't have you getting angry and trying to kill Luke."
I nod and run back to the locker room changing into the clothing Traci brought with her from Luke's house. I made and mental note to ask how she got in.
Just as I am about to walk out of the locker room, Traci runs in looking flushed and smiling like a little school girl. I raise my eyebrow and she tells me, "Later."
I walk by her and I remember I need to ask her about Luke's house.
"Hey Traci, how did you get into Luke's house?"
She chuckles and shakes her head, "Those windows are far too easy to pry open, be glad you don't live in that place anymore."
I just nod and head to the parade room, ready to bring Sam back, even if I couldn't help bring down Jo and Luke. I had yet to allow myself to process that fact that Luke was involved with Sam's kidnapping. I planned on barring it deep in my mind, to deal with later, if at all. I was good at barring things. My feeling for Sam is a prime example of those abilities.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
Walking into the parade room, I feel the tension of the events from yesterday following freely between the officers decked out in blue. News coverage had been extensive and I'm assuming most of them didn't know about what Frank had told me. I kept to myself, and waited for Frank to come in and hurry everything up. I was ready to be back in Sam's arms. I longed for the moment when he walked free of his captors and into my waiting arms, or I guess more like SUV.
I breathe a sigh of relief when Best walks in and shouts for everyone to quite down.
"Ok Officers we have confirmed it was Jo who captured Sam. She also informed us that Luke was a part of the plan, and the role that Officer Smith had this horrible turn of events. We do have a location address for where Swarek is being held, so I want everyone suited up and ready to roll in 5!"
Voices started to shout out there cheer and some came by to pat me on the shoulder, telling me that everything was going to be ok, and Sam was coming home. I take in a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm down my nerves. I wanted so badly to go and beat Jo within an inch of her life, but she wasn't worth it. She wasn't worth me missing out on seeing Sam again, or losing my job. Jo had taken enough away from me, I wasn't about to let her have anything else of mine.
I stand up once the parade room is cleaned out of officers, and start the walk towards Best's SUV. I lean again the passenger door and see Best walk out a few minutes later. He clicks the unlock button on the key and I quickly open the door and get settled unsure of how far away this place was.
Frank gets in and tells me the address to program it into the GPS, 1048 Beaver drive, I knew that number, it was Jo's house just outside the city. It would take ten minutes maybe less if we used the sirens. However, I knew we would want to show up as quiet as we could so we started the drive without sirens.
I keep my eyes trained on the clock, counting down the minutes until that I would see that handsome broody face again. Until I could kiss and hug the man I would for the rest of my life. A strong voice breaks me out of my clock induced coma.
"We're bringing him back McNally, I told you I would."
I smile and nod, I was ready to have Sam back. It might have only been a day, but it had felt like weeks to me.
Pulling up to the house, I hear Best once again telling me the rules I had reluctantly agreed to before he got out of the car, locking me in and disabling the passenger controls. I sigh and just look out the window taking in my surroundings. I see Luke's car sitting in the drive way and shake my head.
How it has come to this between Luke and me?
I really didn't know the answer to that question. I didn't know if I ever would. Looking towards the house, I see the curtains move and Luke looking out of the upper window. His eyes go big once he realizes who all is here. We have well over four different divisions helping us out on this "raid". Shaking my head, I see the teams start moving in on the house.
3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333(~~~~~~)3333
What felt like hours later the teams finally made entry into the house to save Sam. Before anyone entered fully into the house I hear Luke shout out to get out or he would shoot. The teams back off a little and throw in a flash bang grenade to disorient anyone in the house.
I can't imagine what is going on with Sam right now and just the thought of him possibly being hurt bring tears rolling down my face again. I wipe my face on my long sleeved shirt and pull my boot covered feet up to the seat hugging my knees to my chest. Waiting with my breath held for something to happen, to just see Sam again.
The teams try to make entry again and this time they are successful. Quickly clearing the bottom floor of the house the team starts running up the entry stairs and that all I see as my vision is blocked by the ceiling taking away my view of the stairs.
Hearing the officers shout for Luke to put the gun down I take in a huge breathe, if he had a gun he could have shot Sam already. I start feeling a coldness taking over my heart again, Sam could be gone, and he could have already been taken from me.
What I heard next made my body freeze before I let out a blood curdling scream containing one man's name. The sound I heard was a shot, and then dead silence.
"SAM!"

Author's Note 2: Once again I am so sorry for the long wait between updates. Life has been crazy with classes starting up again. This chapter is shorter than most of the others, but it just felt right to end right here. I am going to try and write the next chapter tomorrow. I am starting to have trouble writing these chapters. I guess I'm loosing steam with this story, which is why it will be coming to an end soon. But don't worry, I have a lot of other ideas floating around in my crazy head for this couple!
Author's Note 3: Up next, who was shot? There are about 2 full chapters left, and then an epilogue.
