Andy walked into 15 the next day still floating on a cloud of happiness. She couldn't believe that she and Sam had finally got it together at last. The first thing she noticed was the silence, the second thing she noticed was that all eyes appeared to be on her. She nervously pulled at her t-shirt wondering if she had spilt something on it. Shaking her head she went to get changed into her uniform. That was where she got her first clue as to what was going on.

The whisper was loud enough for her to hear. "You know they are not even hiding it, she was all over him this morning practically sitting in his lap. I thought that he was living with Andy, God that type of behaviour is disgusting and totally humiliating for Andy. He is horrible and so is she flaunting their affair!" Andy rounded the corner to their extreme and obvious discomfort. She put them at ease immediately letting them know that it was all over between them and she couldn't be happier about it. They looked sympathetically at her suspecting that she was merely putting a brave face on it but she knew before long the whole story would travel around the station and she wouldn't have to explain it over and over.

She quickly changed into her uniform and walked into the parade. Sam smiled encouragingly at her and she ignored all of the other stares as Traci patted the seat next to her for Andy to sit down. The door opened and Luke and Jo came stumbling in together giggling loudly and bringing everyone's attention to them. Traci looked anxiously at Andy who just smiled and shrugged her shoulders complacently. Sam watched, his eyes narrowing and lips tightening in concern at this very obvious display with these two.

Best cleared his throat expectantly and waited for Luke and Jo to notice. They suddenly seemed aware of the silence surrounding them and shifted uncomfortably as they waited for Best to begin.

As usual Andy was paired with Sam and she couldn't have been happier. As soon as they reached the car Sam reached out and gently ran his thumb over Andy's cheek.

"Are you okay with them being so blatantly obvious with each other?"

"Sam, I really couldn't care if they shouted it from the rooftops, do I wish that they could be discreet a little while longer? Sure I do, but it is what it is." She smiled teasingly throwing his words back at him from a long time ago.

"Well what are waiting for? Let's go catch some bad guys" Sam smiled at her.

They received a call to investigate a disturbance in an alley outside a local nightclub. They approached the alley with great care. Sam made a quick sweep of the alley with his eyes he told Andy to proceed with caution. Andy walked over to investigate an old rolled up carpet and jumped when she noticed a human arm poking out of it.

"Sam!" she shouted in obvious distress. He was over beside her in a flash. He took in the scene and quickly radioed in their find. He efficiently taped off the scene as they waited for the crime scene unit to arrive.

The coroner was on hand and determined that the woman was between the ages of 16-18, a drug user and it looked likely that a drug overdose had been the cause of death.

Andy looked up and groaned as she watched Jo and Luke approach the scene. She kept things professional as she answered their questions as succinctly as possible.

They returned to the barn to fill out the dreaded paperwork. Just as they were finishing they heard Boyd shout out. "Swarek, McNally get in here!"

Andy looked at Sam who shrugged his shoulders not knowing what was going on. They got into the office and noticed that Boyd was there as well as Best.

Best began "This is the 6th overdose in this city this week, it looks as though there are bad shipments of drugs hitting the streets.

Boyd took over "Sam we are looking for someone to go undercover to work alongside the narcotics division as well as Guns as it looks like major shipments of drugs have been coming in at the same time as shipments of guns. We suspect that Tommy O'Rourke is running this out of 'The Shamrock Club'.

"Okay." Nodded Sam thoughtfully "What are you looking for?"

"Well we are looking for you to take up an open place on O'Rourke's team as your usual wide boy drug dealer. We are also looking to place a waitress in that club for you to pass information on to Sam." He motioned to Andy as he said this.

"No, I will do it but you have to find someone else to be the waitress."

Andy objected immediately "Sam I could do this, no problem, I waited tables at college and worked in bars to support myself!"

"Andy, O'Rourke is bad news, he has no scruples, you cross him or even look at him the wrong way you end up dead."

"Sam, this is my job, I want to do this." Andy looked at him expectantly.

He ran his hands through his hear in frustration but reluctantly agreed. "Andy I know that you could do this and I trust in your professionalism, it's just a lot to handle."

"Yes, but I'd have you watching my back Sam."

"Okay then, but I want constant surveillance on this club and I want her pulled if this looks as if it's going south!" Sam demanded.

"Sure" Boyd agreed readily "anything you want Sam"

"Now the back story is that you just got out of jail doing a 7 year stretch and are looking to get back in action. You see Andy at the club and you make a play for her. This gives us a reason for you to be close together. We will proceed with caution but will you two be convincing as lovers?"

Sam cleared his throat and smugly said "I don't think that will be a problem Boyd."

Best butted in with a request to be kept totally in the loop and that if Boyd did not protect his people he would personally answer to him.

They went back to the locker rooms and Sam immediately pulled Andy into his embrace and was rubbing his hands over her back.

He asked her "Are you sure, you want to be part of this Andy, these are real bad guys and I will be worried sick about you, but if you really want to do it then I will back you 100%."

"Yes, I am sure and I want to do this Sam." If you are involved then I will be perfectly safe.

"Okay then let's get into character." Sam stated.

Best had given them the rest of the day off to tie up any loose ends and to go over their back stories thoroughly.

They walked into Andy's apartment hand in hand and Sam pulled Andy in to a tight embrace. He kissed her searchingly and she answered in kind. He pulled her towards the couch and they kissed some more. Sam finally pulled away and leaned his head against hers.

"Well Andy, this is not exactly how I pictured our next date going and this is not exactly slow either."

"Sam, we have to take whatever life throws at us and run with it. After this is all over we can go back to where we were again."

They both sat hand in hand in silence for a while and contemplated on their lives over the next few days. Tomorrow was going to be difficult for both of them.
