Andy went to Frank Best to tell about how she felt after the shocking things that have happened.
''Sir, I'm not sure if I can handle this job'' Andy said to Mr. Best.
''What do you mean McNally?'' he asked her.
''What I mean to say is, I'm terrified, every time I start a shift I feel like I might screw up so badly that people might die, I always thought it was because I'm a rookie, new, not used to any of this, but after what happened tonight I know that I can't be a cop. I didn't have my partners back, he could have died down there.'' Andy said while she was thinking like she was a nobody, a bad cop.
''But he didn't!'' Best practically yelled. ''You acted in a good way, an experienced cop would have done exactly the same as what you did.'' Best said to her.
''But I can't do this anymore, I'll fill in the forms and by the end of the week I'll hand in my badge and gun.''
''McNally you're one of our finest rookies of the 15th division, I believe that you would make a hell of a cop, are you sure that this is what you want?'' He asked her, while he was hoping that she would change her mind.
''Yes sir, I'm very sure about the decisions I made.'' She told him, while she was trying to sound confident.
''You're dismissed McNally.''
As McNally walked out of the door officer Swarek walked by, he saw the look on McNally's face. He followed her into the woman's locker room.
''What's wrong McNally?'' He asked her in such of an concerned way.
''Nothing'' she snitched back at him.
''Andy, tell me what's wrong'' he asked her in a very gentle way, it was almost like you could see a side of him no one knew about.
''I've told you there's nothing wrong.''
As she was standing there, looking at him while he was so concerned about her, she thought about her relationship with Luke. Thinking about how everything between them was so nice, but she new better. She didn't choose him because he's any better than Sam, she chose him because she needed something, someone, safe. A relationship in which it couldn't go wrong.
She knew she had blown her chances whit Sam, when she literally rejected him during the blackout. She knew she was in love with Sam Swarek and there was not a single chance she could be with him. But she knew that she had two tasks waiting for her.
Task one was to break things up with Luke before it is too late, her second task was to say goodbye to Traci, Chris, Dov and Gail and in the meanwhile trying to avoid Sam.
Andy was about to put of her shirt, but actually was waiting for Sam to leave.
''You really like the woman's locker room, don't you?'' She said to him while she was hoping he would leave.
''You started it, and besides I think there's something you're not telling me, and I'm here to help you, so just tell me what's wrong.'' He said to her, and she could realize that he really cared and that he's worried. But she couldn't do it, she couldn't tell him what was wrong because she knew she's end up in tears.
''There's nothing wrong, so would you mind leaving now?'' she said to him with a kind of annoyed voice.
''McNally you know where to find me if something is wrong.''
''You don't need to worry, I'll be fine.'' She told him, while she knew it was a huge lie.
After Sam had left she changed into her casual clothes and went to see Luke.
''Hi there'' Luke said with a very big smile.
''Luke we really need to talk'' She said to him.
She told him that they couldn't be together, and that it wasn't his fault. He acted really surprised and shocked but deep in his mind he knew why she broke up with him.
He knew that McNally didn't truly loved him. Because the way she was when she was around Sam, it was like they knew each other since they were fifteen and had been best friends since.
He knew that there was nothing more he could do.
''I guess this is it, right?'' He said to her with a very sad tone.
''We can still be friends.'' She told him while everyone with a bit of a mind knew that it would only be awkward between them.
''I guess I'll see you later, pal.'' He said to her while he was trying to show his true feelings.
''Bye.'' Was the only thing she could have said to him at that moment.
Frank called Sam into his office as soon as he saw him back at the barn.
''Sir, you wanted to talk to me?'' he said to Best while he was wondering what he had done wrong.
''Yes, it's about your rookie.'' He said to Swarek.
''What's wrong with McNally?'' he asked him.
''She wants to quit.''
''What!'' Sam almost yelled, but then he realized he was in an office with Best.
He knew that Andy didn't want to do anything rather than change the world for the better of course, and being a cop was her way of doing that. The only thing she might like more than being a cop is to talk.
''Sir, did she tell you why?'' he asked Best in such of a curious tone.
''She said to me she wasn't ready and felt terrified, but I think she's just scared, scared of making mistakes, scared of letting you down'' He said to Swarek.
''Sir, I really need to find McNally.'' He said to Best and you could just hear how fast he wanted to be out of there.
''You're dismissed Swarek'' Thank you sir he answered to him.
Sam knew McNally like no one in this whole building, and he knew that McNally was in the woman's locker room.
''McNally are you in here? He asked while he was standing in front of the door.
She didn't answer his question, she was just sitting there, crying.
''McNally, I'm coming in.'' he said to her.
He opened the door and saw her sitting on the bench with tears in her eyes. What's wrong McNally? He asked her again. She knew that this time she couldn't lie to him.
''Nothing was the first thing she said to him, I mean everything, I don't know it's just this job. It's so exhausting and now I've split up with Luke it's just…. It just isn't easy.
''That's no reason to quit.'' Sam said to her.
''Wait, how did you know?'' she asked him in a very curious way.
''I'm your TO, I'm supposed to know stuff like this, but something more important is that you can't quit, you acted like a real cop today, you trusted your gut and saved my ass by doing that, you don't need to think you did anything wrong.'' He said to her.
''Why do you even care? '' she said to him while she wiped away the tears on her cheek.
''Because I think that you'll be a hell of a cop some day and I don't want to loose you as my partner.
As they were sitting next to each other on the bench she felt the chemistry between them, and the only thing she could look at was his sexy brown eyes.
''So…. You and Luke broke up?'' He asked her trying not to sound curious.
''Yeah.'' Andy said while she was trying to avoid the subject.
''Why?'' he asked her.
Why are you caring anyway? She said to him.
Uhmmm…. He stood there with no words in his mouth.
I guess I care because you're my partner.
''Why didn't you stop me during the blackout?'' she asked him.
''Because, you're mind blowing, and sweet and you're the one that makes my heart go spinning.'' Sam said while he was hoping she felt the same way.
''But why didn't you say anything?''
''The only thing I wanted was to see you happy, if that meant you being with Callaghan I guess I'd just deal with it.'' He said to her.
''Sam I love you, I thought you were a jerk but in the past 6 months I found out you were sweet and caring an gentle and you are pretty awesome.'' He interrupted her and said: ''I love you too Andy McNally.''
He placed his hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer to himself. Her lips met his, it was so passionate, it was like fireworks were flying through both their body's.
So McNally you still planning on leaving?
As long as you're with me I am not going anywhere. Which solved her second task.
''So… are we going to your place or mine?'' Andy asked him.
''You've got two things to do first'' he said to her.
''What's that?'' she asked him a bit confused.
''You've got to talk to Best and the second thing is kiss me once more, and then we're going wherever you want to go.''
