A.N. Thanks for all the reviews/favorites/alerts.
I hope everyone enjoyed the final two episodes of season 2 - not bad, the only mess up I had was Boyd - but my point was that Sam goes undercover for Guns and Gangs while Andy goes under for Drug Squad (although it did really mess up the other multi-chapter that I am working on).
Really sorry about the delay for this one...trying to work out day five and things are not going the way I planned and I wasn't sure if it was going to affect this chapter but I'm just going to take the plunge and let the story lead me.
Enjoy!
Now where was I...
Day Four Part Two:
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.
Her confusion cleared up five minutes later when Jack stormed into the room.
Jack demanded to know why Andy was speaking to Jim.
To Andy's embarrassment, his yelling pushed her over the edge. She managed to squeak out "he's my uncle" before she burst into tears. The tears she had been holding back since finding out that Sam was not awake and the doctors didn't know why flowed down her cheeks. Her body shook as sobs tore through her body.
She barely heard Jessica hiss "I warned you not to do that" and her "get out". Jack listened to his sister for once and hastily exited the room.
Jessica walked over to Andy and pulled her up. Jessica led her over to a love-seat in the corner of the room for when their friends visited them to chat while they were working. Jessica sat her down and then sat down next to her and placed an arm around Andy's shoulder and pulled Andy's head to rest on her shoulder. "Let it all out" she said softly, running a soothing hand up and down Andy's back.
As she forced herself to calm down, Andy pushed thoughts of Sam (the reason she really started to cry, Jack was just the final push) aside. She analyzed the situation she was in and realized that she agreed with Jim. Jessica was another one of Jack's guinea pigs. Jessica was a sweet girl and Jack had probably threatened her. She felt terrible that no one had ever believed Jim. Andy knew that as soon as the undercover op was over she was going to back Jim and fight for Jessica's freedom. Sam would back her, he trusted her and he trusted Jim.
When she finally calmed down, the two women returned to work. As the club opened, Daniel appeared. Knowing that Daniel would protect Jessica, she did not protest when Jessica informed him that they were going to be having a girls' night at her apartment and he insisted on walking them.
They talked for a while but Andy made sure not to say too much and she was careful about her alcohol consumption.
Around nine-fifteen, she told Jessica that she wanted to head home because she knew the next night was going to be a long night.
Jessica agreed with her and the two said their good nights. Andy walked home, even though she wanted to sprint home. She needed to keep up the appearances in case someone was watching her. Working undercover taught her to always assume someone was watching her until she could totally confirm no one was tailing her.
When she got home, she threw on her jogging pants and a sweatshirt and then headed out. Worst was, she would say that running helped her sleep the last time so she wanted to get all of the nervous energy out.
She took a different route from the first time she had gone but she still arrived at the hospital after visiting hours.
Luck was with her. She had half an hour with Sam before his doctor would come again.
She approached his bed, careful not to make the same mistake with the chair. Instead, she stood next to him and took his hand in her own. She bent and kissed his cool lips before straightening. She kissed his hand and whispered "oh Sammy."
Tears fell, not that she was surprised. She couldn't remember the last time she had cried so much, when Luke was shot, after twenty-four hours he spoke to her. Sam had been out for much longer and it really scared her. She didn't understand why he wasn't awake yet - and from what Jim had told her, nor did the doctors. That scared her more than anything.
Eventually she calmed down somewhat. She had something to tell him but she had always envisioned this scene differently. She took a deep breath. "Sam, you need to wake up. Everything ends tomorrow and the only thing I want is for you to wrap your arms around me when I'm done and tell me you're proud of me but I'm never doing undercover work again because the separation is too much. I love you and you have to wake up." She sobbed at the last line and then froze as his monitors began beeping incessantly. Scared for him and afraid she would be caught, Andy fled, in the nick of time as doctors and nurses ran into Sam's room.
She was so disoriented that she used the same exit as she had used for her entrance.
She ran all the way to her apartment and then collapsed on her couch, asleep as soon as her head hit the cushion.
Oooooooooooooooh, that's mean...next up, Sam's POV and you'll find out what happened to him.
Reviews make my day so let me know what you think.
