Andy

Andy woke to the sound of a door swinging violently open bouncing off of the concrete wall behind it. She flinched heart racing as she watched the man walk right up to where she was tide-up in the corner and gaze down at her. She noticed immediately his stalky familiar build and caught sight of his battered and bruised face from a ray of light coming from beyond the open door. She remembered then suddenly and the hiss of his name slipped through her lips. "…Brennan…"

"That's right sunshine I'm back, and I'm pissed, you and your little boyfriend ruined my life and took all that I had left of it. I lost my wife, my little girl and now my men who won't take me back!" he roared. "They say I'm working with the cops now!" he spit through clenched teeth. "They said this was my warning that I wasn't welcome anymore" he said gesturing to his black eye and slit lip. She sat there quietly not saying a word processing the situation, thinking on how to react. She decided to be brave like Swarek would and stand her ground.

"How did you get out?" demanded McNally with a little too much authority.

Jamie just laughed in her face and said "What you think there's only one crooked cop on the force? If a man can kill my family and get away with it, that I wouldn't be able to play the system and get out early?! I've got my finger wrapped so tightly around them that I've got no longer anything to fear!" he said confidently "In fact there isn't much stopping me from doing this he said trying to grab her. And y struggled and brought up her bound wrists and swung with all her force. She caught the side of his face making him recoil in shock. Brennan furiously slapped her hard with a lot of force bringing tears to her eyes and a painful sting. She cowered protecting herself from another blow that never came. Brenna was fuming but instead reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone snapping a picture of the terrified Andy and her newly battered face. He walked out of the room saying this would be continued when Swarek was by her side to watch her scream. In the doorway he turned to face her and laughed whispering that he would kill them both afterwards.

Andy alone again in the darkness whipped a tear from her face and tried to keep it together. She ran her hand across her cheek and already the swelling had started accompanied by a nasty bruise. She tried to think positive and smiled to herself thinking about how Brennan was wrong. Sam wasn't going to be part of his game; he was coming to save her. Thinking of him brought yet again a lump to her throat; she couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt. She missed him so much it hurt. She was suddenly very cold and tired; who was she kidding she wasn't brave like Swarek, she was downright terrified and she finally admitted it to herself.
