Instinct
Chapter four
A: N Disclaimer: I do not own Rookie Blue. I only own the story I am writing.
Once Sam heard that door of the van open, he knew it was Andy. He turned around to face her. He saw the blood on her face still and sighed. "It's not her blood, she's okay", he had to remind himself.
As Andy walked towards him, he took her hand and started walking her towards the van. How are you feeling? He had to ask her. 'I'm okay', she said to him. 'That hurt so much Sam', she continued saying. Sam shook as she said those words to him. He took her to the back of the van. 'I'm alright, I'm alright Sam, it's just I already have this bruise that's forming', she said as she lifted her shirt to show him the bruise.
Sam didn't want to see the bruise though. He didn't want to see anything on her body that had made her hurt. Sam lifted her head up. He had to make sure she was really okay. He looked straight into her eyes and sighed. What? Andy asked. Sam sighed heavily again. They were both going to say something to each other. They both needed to say something to each other, but no words would come out. So they just stood there looking at each other deeply. Andy noticed a guy with a gun. 'Sam', she said looking at him. Sam turned around and saw the guy.
It was finally the end of the shift, and they finally had worked out who Kate's killer was. It should have made Andy feel a bit better but it didn't. She still felt guilty.
When Dov came in to make sure she was okay, it had made her feel a bit better. When she realised that Luke and Jo knew each other, the thought of that made her uneasy. Sure she trusted Luke, but he hadn't told her anything about his past relationships.
Both Luke and Andy went to the penny that night.
Sam sat at the normal place at the penny drinking his scotch. Today was tough for him. He sighed when he remembered Andy getting shot and her going down on the floor.
He sighed again when he took another drink and remembered that Boyd wanted him on that Guns and Gangs task force and Boyd wanted to know his answer soon.
Sam thought about the pros and cons to it all. He did want this job in Guns and Gangs for a long time. But now somehow, his priorities had changed and he hadn't even realized that until now.
Just as he finally started drinking his drink, Jo Rostai came and sat next to him.
Sam put out his hand to Jo. 'Nice working with you detective', Sam said shaking Jo's hands. 'You too, hopefully we will work together again', Jo said to Sam.
Oh you're staying at 15th? Sam asked Jo. 'It's no big deal if a position comes up ill apply', Jo said to Sam. Sam nodded his head in understanding.
What about you? Jo asked him. Sam looked over at Jo. Heard you were headed to Guns and Gangs? Jo asked Sam.
Sam just shrugged his shoulders. 'I haven't decided yet', he said to Jo as he looked over at Andy at the table with her friends. Jo nodded her head to him.
Nope Sam couldn't do it. Sam couldn't transfer to another area of the Toronto police department. He might have wanted that last year, but this was a new year now. And for him, everything had changed now.
And everything had changed for him because of one person. Andy McNally.
Even though he couldn't be with her because she was with Luke, Sam still needed her in his life. No matter what kind of friendship it was, Sam needed to be friends with Andy. Even if it would break his heart, what he feared most was Andy not being in his life.
So that was his decision. He was staying at 15th. Even if no one understood why he was doing it, he knew why he was. And that is what mattered to him.
Andy mattered to him. Sam sighed as he thought of how he was going to tell Boyd his decision. He finished his drink and went home to call Boyd up to let him know what his decision was.
