Day Four Part One:

Andy woke suddenly, soaked in a pool of sweat. She breathed slowly, concentrating only on breathing in and out as she tried to calm her heart. Her dream had been vivid and both Sam and Jessica had died.

When her heart-rate returned to normal, she jumped into the shower. She stood under the hot spray for a long time – trying to rid her body of the fear from her dream.

Once dressed, she made the tape for the Drug Squad. Most of her day from the day before was on the tape, for the first time ever.

Task completed she cleared her recorder on her phone and dressed for the day. When she finished, she grabbed the tapes she needed and wrapped them in newspaper as a 'present' for her uncle. As she wrapped them, she was drawn into a memory.

Flashback

Sam was working with her on the technological aspect of her undercover. When he told her they were using cassette tapes, she looked at him like he was crazy. "Seriously Sam? Who uses those anymore?"

To her surprise, Sam grinned. "Exactly. It is the easiest way to pass information."

She of course found a big flaw in it. "What if someone actually has a tape recorder?"

Sam grinned. "All of the tapes are being labeled. When you record, it will be recording over the music. Jim is 'old school', still loves good ole cassette tapes. The excuse is that you brought a bunch with you from Vancouver and like to give him at least one every week when you go for lunch together to show him your appreciation for all that he has done for you."

End Flashback

She was glad for the precautions; Jessica had actually asked when Andy first moved in. To keep up appearances, Drug Squad actually made up two sets of tapes and when Jim handed over the tapes, they handed him the ones with the real music on it. The reason for their precautions was that Jessica visited Jim periodically.

'Gift' wrapped, Andy texted Jim again asking him for a time and headed to work.

The morning passed quickly and before Andy knew it, Jessica reminded her that she needed to get going. She thanked Jessica and promised to return before heading to the little 'Mom and Pop' restaurant that Jim owned.

When she entered the shop, she called out "hey Beka" to Rebeka, the chef.

"Hey Andy! He's in his office."

Andy nodded and headed to the back room. "Hey Uncle Jim" she said after tapping on the door and stepping into the room.

Jim stood. "Hey sweetie." He hugged her and whispered "nothing significant in the store. We're being watched." He pulled away. "It's a nice day. I had Beka fill a picnic basket – if that's okay with you?"

Andy nodded and handed over the tapes. Jim locked them up and then locked his office.

Jim led Andy to the front. As he grabbed the basket, Beka yelled "enjoy" and they both waved at her.

When they reached the destination Jim had 'chosen', he pulled out a red checkered blanket and spread it out.

As Andy helped Jim unload the food she whispered "how do you know they won't overhear?"

"Cop hangout, they wouldn't dare." He kept his voice low.

Andy saw a few cops lounging around. While she believed that this park was an ideal spot for cops to take their lunch break and relax for a few minutes – it was the type of place like where she and Traci had met Sam and Jerry on numerous occasions for lunch, she had a feeling that it was more than the normal amount of cops milling about.

While they ate, she told Jim everything she remembered. He asked a few pointed questions but mostly stayed silent. She also told him about her other fear, the one for Jessica's life. That was when he became more animated and the questions became more real.

"What do you mean you think her life is in danger?"

"I made a mistake. Jack asked me if I could wield a gun and I said yes. I backtracked to say that my stepfather bought a gun after my sister was attacked and I convinced him to teach me how to use it. Jack took me to the shooting range and I did badly on purpose." She took a drink of water.

"What does that have to do with Jessica?"

"After the meeting yesterday, he went over the plans with me and asked my opinions. I think he is tired of Jessica because she is his equal. He wants to branch out – let all of his people know about his dirty dealings, not just his henchmen. She is the reason he is not. I think he wants to eliminate her and make me, his girlfriend, the person right under him."

Jim nodded. "Could be. Don't worry about her. Daniel will protect her."

Andy's eyes widened. "You have someone else with me and I didn't know?"

Jim shook his head. "We don't know but we do know Daniel will protect Jessica. Daniel is a mystery. He was in the army and then left. We can't access his files. It could be he was disgraced or it could be that they want the drug ring stopped because some of their boys are getting involved."

Andy nodded. The conversation was over; she knew Jessica would be safe.

It was only when Jim pulled out Beka's famous M&M chocolate chip cookies that she asked the question she had been wanting to ask since she arrived at his restaurant. "How is he?"

Jim sighed. "Next time you visit him, don't move the chair."

Andy paled. "How?"

"Noelle called me. She and Frank went down to the hospital and she recognized the scent of your perfume."

Andy nodded, properly rebuked. She had forgotten that she moved the chair in the first place. "How is he?"

Jim sighed again. "Not awake and they don't know why." He had spoken to Noelle the night before, knowing that Andy was going to ask when they met. He took her hand when he saw tears forming in her eyes. "You gonna go tonight?" Sam held a place in his heart and had helped him on many occasions.

Andy nodded. Swallowing she admitted "I'm scared about tomorrow night. I need to see him."

Jim nodded in understanding. "Listen, a lot can change in a few hours. When you call tomorrow with the times, if he is not awake by the time you go tonight, I'll give you a sign. 'Why did you wake me?' or something with the word 'wake' or 'awake' means he is awake. 'I was sleeping' or something with the word 'sleep' or 'asleep' means no change." Andy would call him to inform him of the exact time the meeting would take place. Drugs were going to be exchanged and they would get two dealers for the price of one.

Andy nodded. They both stood, cleaned up, and headed back to the restaurant.

Beka gave Andy a bag of cookies to bring back to Jessica and then Andy returned to work.

When she arrived, Andy senses that something was off. Jessica gave a silent nod of thanks for the cookies but didn't ask her how her visit had gone. Normally, after Andy's visits to her uncle, the two talked about it for a few minutes.

A.N. I needed to stop somewhere but I wanted to give a glimpse at what is to come...and Andy goes to visit Sam next!

Reviews make my day so let me know what you think!
