Three weeks later
San and Andy had been back at work and back in their normal routine for a month now throwing banter back and forth like they always did while navigating the streets. The day had been very busy and it was not even a full moon. They stopped for lunch at their favorite place. While they were waiting for their food joking and laughing Sam suddenly turned serious
I'm ready
What?
I'm ready
Ready for what ?
To talk
Baby are you sure there is no rush
Yeah I'm sure
Promise
Yeah
Ok
So after you left I turned the cameras back on and I cleaned up a little but there was a knock at the door I thought it was you coming back because you had left something … but
It was him
Yeah
And he told me that I looked familiar he had seen me somewhere before but he didn't know where
Then he thought about it for a few minutes .. Then he got this creepy look on his face and his eyes got dark with anger
Oh God SamAndy eyes were filling with tears but she urged him to keep going
Sweetie don't cry
He wiped the tears that were now slowly streaming down her face away with his thumbs
that's all that I remember before he knocked me out
But when I woke up it was dark so I assumed that I had a pillow case over my head or something then Jamie pulled off the pillowcase or whatever it was I noticed that I was tied to a chair and had a blindfold over my mouth after he took it off
I asked him where the hell you were using your alias "Candice" and he told me that he had dropped you off downtown then I asked him what he was doing
And ?
And he said he was looking for answers
Answers to what?
that's what I said
And what did say?
To questions that he had
And what did you say?
What makes you think I have answers
And ?
He said "God's Good Grace"
And I asked him if he was referring to my boat of the same name
And was he?
Nope
What was he referring to ?
A guy who had been doing hard time 15 years to be exact in Dorchester for moving heroin up and down the coast and how everything he owned was now property of the police even his boat Gods good grace then he said that he guessed it still was…. Then
Sigh
Babe?
Then he made me as a cop
OH My God! what did you do?
I asked him what I was doing there
What did he say ?
That he wanted to no what happened to his family and why their accident report was
What did you tell him ?
That I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about ?
And
He didn't believe me
Then what happened
I told him again that I didn't know what he was talking about
What next?
Then he kicked me over and said " someone killed my family and the police covered it up and you're gonna tell me who"
Then what happened ?
Honey are you sure you want to know all this it gets … pretty bad
Yes Sam all of it
San was about to start talking again when the waitress brought their food
I will tell you the rest after we eat
Ok
While they ate they continued their usual banter, telling jokes and stealing kisses every so often
15 minutes later
they had finished their food and Sam was continued telling And what happened
Ok you ready for the rest ?
Yeah
Andy babe
Yes Sam
Ok ok ( holing his hands up in defeat)
He forced my mouth open and wash boarded me
Wash boarded you ?
Yeah ( Sam shivered as he thought back on it )
He poured water down my throat until I talked
Sam!
Then he told me his daughter's 1st and 2nd words Zelda and bottle then came the worst part came
What…..wha …..what was it
Babe (Sam looked at her with tear filed eyes pleading with her not to make him continue because he knew that what he had to tell her was going to make her feel like it was all her fault)
Come on Sam please!
Ok
He broke my right hand with a crowbar
Ohhhhhhhh mmmmmmmy goddddddd sammmmmm immmmmmmm soooooooooooo sorrryyyy thissssss isss allll myyyy faulttt (Andy crying heavily )
( Sam got out of his seat and walked around to face her and crouched down to be at her eye level)
Sssshhhh baby come here (he pulled her down out of her chair so that she was on the floor with him and he wrapped his arms around her
What happened to me was not your fault do you hear me? …. It was his and nobody else's ok ?
Yes
Good

Ok
Sam paid their bill and they headed out the door back to the cruiser
