Sorry about the delay. Between being a full time University student, working 2 jobs and general life, I haven't gotten too much time to write. But here it is!

Oliver went in search for Luke Callaghan. He wasn't the guy's biggest cheerleader but he didn't hate Callaghan like some of the coppers at 15 did. He was a solid Detective and had worked his way up the ranks. The only real complaint Oliver had about Callaghan was he was a workaholic and seriously married to his work.

He found Luke in his office and Oliver knocked on the door before poking his head inside to see if anyone else was in there. Finding nobody, he entered. "Callaghan."

Luke sat up and crossed his arms. He was pretty confused on why Oliver was there. He had played poker a couple times with the boys, pre Andy, and had a couple drinks with Oliver over the years, but he wouldn't call them friends. "What are you doing here? Normally you get your minions to get me involved in cases that don't require my presence."

"Tommy McNally," Oliver stated.

Luke was even more confused now. "What about Tommy?"

"His daughter pulled him over for a DUI with Collins. Just got a text from Diaz that he blew almost twice the legal limit."

"Son of a bitch," Luke muttered. "Where's Andy?"

Oliver shrugged. "Locker room. Peck is with her right now."

"Any idea what caused Tommy to fall off the boat?"

The training officer shook his head. "Why don't you ask him when you drive him home?" Oliver left Luke in his thoughts. Shaw wasn't close with Tommy, he knew who he was, what his reputation was within 15 and that he was Andy McNally's father. He also knew Tommy was almost considered a suspect in the Koliciak murder when Andy was still a rookie.

Oliver went cell blocks where he passed Sam, who had been riding with Becca Nicholson that day. Sam stopped him. "You look like hell."

"Uh, yeah. I got something on my mind," Oliver told Andy's ex.

"Zoe?"

Oliver shook his head. "Nope. I got to go."

Sam just stood there. "Where are you going?"

"Does it matter?" Oliver asked, pushing the door open. Unfortunately for him, Sam followed him in and saw what was on Oliver's mind.

When Tommy McNally saw Oliver Shaw walk in with Sam Swarek, he knew bad shit was going down. Tommy liked Oliver. As a rookie, he kept his nose clean, stayed out of trouble and was generally good to be around. He knew Ollie would make a fine TO, and he had. Swarek on the other hand… always pissing somebody off, an annoyance to the TO's and somebody who was much better suited to undercover work. However he was a damn good cop. So when Andy told him that her TO was Swarek, Tommy wasn't the most happiest. Sam had the tendency to push the rules (like a gun in plain view, or Sammy plain view), even as a rookie. However, Swarek had done a good job teaching Andy the ropes and Tommy appreciated him for that. And Sam did exhaust all other options when Tommy was almost considered a suspect in the Koliciak murder. When his daughter's relationship with Callaghan fell apart, he wasn't too thrilled when she started seeing Sam. However, his daughter was a grown woman and Tommy was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Until now.

"Before you say anything, Swarek, let me start. If you hurt my daughter again, in any way shape or form, or if you do something stupid again, I will have your ass reassigned to the 34th division and doing donut patrol."

"Sir," Sam started to say.

"I may be retired now, but I know a couple people within this police force who owe me a couple favours," Tommy told Sam, straight up. Really, he wouldn't go that far, but the threat towards Sam was what he was going to give him. He was just a father giving his daughter's ex a piece of my mind.

Sam nodded. "Sir, if I may. Why are you here?"

"Because I did something stupid. Now where's my daughter so she can give me a ride home?"

Oliver looked at Sam. "Uh, I'll get Callaghan to do that." Before Oliver had a chance to finish his sentence, Sam was out the door, looking for Callaghan.

Sam found Callaghan in his office, just as Callaghan was packing up to take Tommy to his apartment and discuss what the hell had happened. Fortunately for Callaghan, he was expecting this conversation with Swarek, so he was prepared. "What the hell do you think you're doing," Sam demanded.

"Uh, I'm getting ready to drive Tommy McNally home. Why?"

"Why are you doing this? That isn't your job, Callaghan," Sam almost shouted at him. He was furious. Beyond mad. At himself, at Andy and the whole fucking situation. He had heard the rumors and the water cooler talk that McNally was back with Callaghan. He wasn't sure if he was more mad at the fact that she went back to the douche bag or the fact that she ended up in another guy's bed right after Sam had broken up with her.

Luke laughed. "Sammy, you lost all that right to be her knight in shining armour when you broke up with her in a parking lot," he almost spat out the last two words as he walked out the door, leaving Sam in his office, fuming. He turned around and stuck his head inside his office. "And don't even think about talking to McNally. She wants nothing to do with you and you'll have to go through Peck anyways." Personally, he hoped Gail's caustic wit was back and she would choose Swarek as her new chew toy. He deserved it. And Luke knew all too well what it felt to be like on Gail Peck's bad side.

Callaghan left to go get Tommy out of the holding cell. They walked to the car and half of the way to the apartment in silence before Tommy broke it. "What's going to happen?"

"You know procedure. Arraignment tomorrow, possibly. However, despite the fact that Chris Diaz plays by the rule book, I am going to assume him and Collins made a 'mistake' on the paperwork," Callaghan explained. He had shared a knowing look with Collins and although purposely making a mistake was a little bit against the rules, most people would turn their heads and pretend they didn't see or hear anything. Cops took care of their own. Even retired ones.

Tommy nodded. "Oh."

"Why'd you fall off the wagon, Tommy?" Callaghan asked the inevitable question.

Tommy just shrugged so Luke prodded more. "18 months sober," he said. Luke was having a hard time not questioning like a suspect and had to remind himself that this was almost his future father in law. "Why'd you throw it away?"

"You wouldn't understand," Tommy replied.

Luke kept his eye on the road. "You going to tell your daughter that?"

The retired Homicide Detective sighed. "Janet and I ended things."

Luke took a deep breath. He knew he probably wouldn't turn out like Tommy, single dad who was a workaholic who turned to the bottle for support, but there were some similarities and Luke did not want to end up like Andy's father. He didn't want to spend all his time at work, and not know how to take off the uniform (or in his case, suit) at the end of the day. It was something they warned all rookies at the Academy and something all rookies forgot about, until they were living it. "Does Andy know about Janet?"

"No. Just the one night her and Swarek came over for my birthday. She didn't ask the next day," Tommy replied.

"Why didn't you turn to your sponsor?" Luke asked.

Tommy shrugged and looked out the window. "His wife died last week."

Luke told himself to breathe as he pulled up to Tommy's apartment. "Andy is going to want answers, and you owe her that at the very least."

"I know," Tommy muttered.

"Come by her apartment at 6:30. I'll be out for a run," Luke replied as Tommy nodded as he got out of the vehicle. Watching Tommy go to his apartment, Luke really hoped Andy's father would come over to talk to her. He didn't know what it was like for Andy, with the only family being his older sister and younger brother, but he knew she would be a wreck.

:::::

When Luke told Andy that he was taking her to his apartment, she was slightly confused but went along with it. With everything fucking with her emotions today, she just trusted Luke. For some odd reason. She hadn't seen her father since she pulled him over, but Oliver told her that Callaghan had driven him home. She was slightly comforted that Oliver and Callaghan took care of everything for her, so she didn't have to see or face her dad.

She wasn't sure if she should open the door or not when she saw her dad at the other side of the door, but against her better judgement, she opened the door. "What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk," Tommy said as he stepped in the apartment.

Andy just looked at him. "Yeah, we do. Why'd you do it? Why'd you pick up the bottle, Dad?"

"I don't know," Tommy lied.

Andy laughed. "Right. You don't know why. 18 months sober, Dad. 18 months. Last time you went on a bender, Sam and I almost had to cover up a murder. Now I pull you over for drunk driving. I can't keep covering up for you or asking my friends to cover up something every time you decide to go on a bender!"

"I know."

"If you know that, why?! I can't wrap my head around it. You were happy, you were doing good. What changed?"

Tommy sighed. "Janet and I decided to take a break."

Andy's voice dropped. "Who's Janet?"

"I don't know if you would consider it dating at our age, but, we were seeing each other. She was afraid things were moving too fast and… I picked up the bottle."

She sat on the couch and put her head in her hands. "Great."

"I had a chat with Swarek today," Tommy changed the suspect.

Andy stood up and began pacing. "You don't get to just start talking about Sam. You had no right to talk to him."

Tommy laughed a little. "I think it is my God given right as your father to talk to him. I told him that if he did anything stupid again, I'd get him reassigned to donut patrol."

"Dad, that's not going to happen because that ship has sailed with Sam. You don't have to worry about that."

"But you're my little girl; of course I worry about that. I don't get why Callaghan dropped me off? I heard he was back at 27," Tommy said.

Andy groaned. This was not the conversation she wanted to be having with her Dad. The only reason he knew Sam and her were broken up was because the three of them were supposed to go out for dinner this week. Andy had cancelled and told him that Jerry was killed in the line of duty and things were rocky between Sam and her. "We are not talking about my love life. We're talking about yours. Why didn't you tell me about Janet?" In all her teenage years, she couldn't really remember her Dad ever having a girlfriend. Or taking to Andy about her boyfriends or what have you. That was something they just… didn't talk about.

"I didn't know what you'd think," Tommy tried to explain.

"I want you to be happy. Why wouldn't I?" Andy dramatically tried to say with her hands what she was feeling. She had no words to really explain it. The front door opened and Luke walked in again. "Hi," she said a little bitterly, and automatically regretted the tone she said it in.

"Callaghan," Tommy said to Luke.

Luke, feeling the tension in the room, started speaking. "Tommy, why don't I drive you home?"

Andy's father looked up a little sheepishly. "Actually, there's an AA meeting at the church down the road. Mind driving me there?"

"Absolutely," Luke said.

"Can I talk to you, Luke?" Andy said. Luke looked confused but followed her into the bedroom and closed the door. "Why are you doing this? You don't have to clean up my messes," she said in a not so nice tone.

He knew she was angry, frustrated, emotional and taking out her anger on him. He didn't blame her though. "Andy, I'm just trying to help. You're mad, I get that. Let me take your dad to the AA meeting."

"I'm just mad at him for thinking that me or somebody is going to come save him again," Andy said, sitting down on the bed.

Luke sat beside her and rubbed her back. "I know. Let's get your dad sober again and then we can talk, okay? I know you're angry and frustrated at him and you have every right to be. But you also need to help your dad get back on the right track."

"I guess," Andy said. "Can you take him? I don't really want to see him right now," she said.

Luke placed a kiss on the top of her head. "Absolutely."

Andy just sat on the edge of the bed, trying to sort out her frustrations. Sometimes she was a little mad at Sam and Luke trying to clean up her messes. She was a big girl; she could figure things out herself and sort them out. However, today, she was a little glad Callaghan took over because she didn't think she could have faced her dad right after pulling him over.

She didn't think too long because there was a knock at the door. She was a little confused because she wasn't expecting company. When she opened it up, she saw Traci, Gail, Dov, Chris and Nick on the other side. "Surprise!" Dov said.

Andy smiled at the thoughtfulness of her friends. "Since it's your first night back here, we thought we'd be here as well," Chris explained. She looked at what everyone brought. Gail had a bottle of Tequila in one hand; Traci had a 24 pack of beer. Dov had the movies, Chris the couple of pizzas and Nick had a couple bags of chips and pop.

"I'm just a little surprised," Andy said, getting over the shock as everybody started moving. Traci and Nick got out plates and Dov grabbed glasses and shot glasses and Chris opened the pizza. Gail looked like she was playing bartender tonight.

"Well we've all had some bad couple days, so I think we all need a night with friends and tequila," Dov explained.

Andy's phone buzzed and she checked the text message from Luke. Have a good night with the rookies. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. She smiled and replied thanks. She guessed that Luke had probably told them she'd be here, one of the reasons he suggested staying here tonight. She looked at the rest of her friends. "Okay. I need some tequila. Who's in!?"

Fini. I might be back with some more Andy/Luke stories. We shall see! :) Thanks for reading and reviewing!
