Andy
Andy woke with a sharp stabbing pain in her side. Her head was pounding and her vision blurry as she tried to take in her surroundings. She felt the cold
hard pavement against her cheek as she realized she was lying on the floor in a basement. She struggled to get up her ankles and wrists were bound
tightly cutting at her skin. She felt really dizzy and couldn't think straight. She was so afraid; she had no idea of where she was and what had happened.
Who had taken her, and why? Andy tried to stay calm and replay what had happened in her mind. She was with Sam driving home when there was an
accident. Sam's head was bleeding, she was so worried and then someone pulled her out where she was shoved in another car. Who was he? He looked
familiar but she just couldn't place his face. Andy thought hard trying to remember and put the pieces together, find some motive, she didn't have any
enemies. She was part of undercover operations that put dangerous criminals behind bars but couldn't think of anyone. Andy tried to breathe and
remember her training as she forms a plan. She propped herself up on her elbow ignoring the pain in her side. She guessed that she might have a bruised
rib. Other than a painful headache and a nasty bump on her head she figured she was alright. She tried to look for clues on where she might be but
couldn't find any; it was pitching dark where she was. Unsure on if it was daytime or night time she was left without much knowledge to go on. She wasn't
even sure how long she had been out. She tried to keep back tears as she sat desperately thinking of Sam and wishing he was there. What would Swarek
do, she thought. Andy strained against the ropes that bound her wrists and ankle trying to loosen them with no success.
She sat in the darkness waiting patiently trying to remember that familiar face and worrying about Sam. She wished nothing more than to feel his arms
around her once more and to know that he was alright.
Sam
Sam sat impatiently in the conference room of the station as Nash and Callaghan filled in all the officers on the situation. Frank had told Sam to go home
and rest and that they would call him as soon as they heard anything but he just couldn't wait around. He never felt so trapped and helpless. All he wanted
was Andy! Sam tired of sitting around got the keys and decided to get some air. Oliver caught him on his way out and asked him if he wanted some
company. Sam shrugged him off and said he was ok and just needed some space. Oliver was so concerned of all the things Sam Swarek was right now he
was most definitely not ok.
After a while Sam found himself at Andy's apartment. Nash and Epstein had already been there and found nothing of suspicion but Sam still found himself
staring at Andy's couch. Memories of her curled up against him, passionate kisses there shared here, swam into his mind making his heart pound. He
needed to find her.
He rummaged through old mail and junk lying around trying to find something out of the ordinary. He had searched endlessly unsuccessfully not getting
any closer to finding her. He made his to her bedroom and stop in the doorway. Her clothes and things were cluttered in a slightly Andy way like usual. A
slight smile came to his lips as he thought of her and was quickly replaced by a burning anger towards whoever had stripped her away from him.
Going through her nightstand he chuckled as he picked a book that read "how to ditch that jerk and keep on going". How could he ever have doubted
them? Yes he was in a dark place, he had lost his best friend but it was no excuse, he realized that now he needed her and should have told her how he felt
long before now, he just hoped it wasn't too late. Sam noticed his sweater lying on a chair in the corner of the room and walked over to it. He remembered
looking for it a while back but didn't recall leaving it here. Picking it up a slip of paper and an envelope fell out of it and fluttered down onto the floor.
He bent to pick it up and realized it was a picture of him and Andy getting into his truck leaving the Penny. He hadn't realized someone had taken a picture
them and the angle was a little off. The picture was taken from across the parking lot from another vehicle. He was unsure of what it meant and felt uneasy
about it. It could be nothing he said to himself reassuringly as he grabbed the envelope. On the front of the envelope he found his name making his heart
race a millions miles a minute. Opening it he was terrified of what he would find. His phone rang before he could read it to find Oliver calling him back to
the station. They had recovered camera footage of Andy being shoved into the back of a car and said I needed to be there right away. Sam grabbed the
picture, the envelope and his sweater and ran to jump in his truck.
He raced back to the station hoping this meant they would find Andy soon. He rushed into the room to find a picture of the dangerous criminal 'Jamie
Brennan' who had nearly killed Sam when his undercover operation was blown because of Andy (episode 12, season 2) was up on the board. His mind
swam and he was petrified thinking of Andy alone with that creep. He watched the footage without saying a word and winced as he watched him shove her
violently into the car. How was let out he asked himself thinking of how he was nearly strangled by the man undercover. They recovered the licence plate
of the car and a team had already made its way to his present residence. Sam knew he wouldn't be dumb enough to bring her to his house so thought of
where he could be holding her. He asked Epstein to pull up his file and find any other property he owned. Why would he take her? He asked himself
confused. That's when he realized it was never about her but him, Brennan was doing this to get back at him. Sam remembered the envelope and the letter
and ran out to his truck. How could he have been so stupid he thought to himself?
The letter read;
Officer Swarek, or should I say J.D,
I've been watching you for some time now and I think you deserve to know what it feels like to lose everything you ever cared about, you've ruined my life and you're going to pay for it, If you ever want to see your precious 'Candace' ever again you're going to play my game, my way, I fell for your lies and your little game and now it's my turn. I'll be keeping you informed and you'll be keeping this to yourself.
Sam stared at the letter and read it over twice fuming with anger. Andy had nothing to do with this guy and was at a loss of what to do. He remembered
when this guy had been torturing him for information, had he gone completely insane? Sam couldn't risk telling the others afraid of what would happen to
Andy. He reached into the envelope to find a stack of more pictures. Some were of Andy and some of him. There were pictures of him leaving work, at the
Penny and in uniform on the job. It made his stomach churned as he came across pictures of Andy going for a run alone, getting coffee even a picture of
Andy's room. It made him sick to imagine this creep in Andy's house watching her. Sam had been so angry and hurt at the same time. He made a promise
to himself that if he hurt Andy he would kill Brennan. He promised that when he saw Andy again he would no longer hold back his feelings for her.
