Chapter 9: The Takedown

Even though it was suppose to be her day off, Andy got a call just after noon telling her she had to get down the station immediately. Her stomach was all twisted in knots as she changed and entered the parade room. Partially because she was still upset and shocked from last night but the other part because now she wondered if they knew she had been seeing him. She saw Luke, Noelle, Oliver and Best standing at the front with all the rest of the coppers sitting down. Noelle was pointing to a spot on the map behind, drawing a big red circle over a large abandoned school in Johnson. On the side of the map had individual photos of each man, some with names and mug shots underneath. She read the names; Alex Keegan, Mark Durbard, Gerard Heckstead, Jerry Hudson, Liam Smith, Graham Redmond and finally she saw Sam's picture with no information underneath. While the others had many previous felonies, Sam had nothing. He had been telling her the truth.

"Okay people listen up!" Best called for attention after Noelle finished the briefing. "We have receive information that leads us to believe that Alex Keegan's group is going to meet Richard Naylor at six o'clock tonight to exchange the printing press and money plates for firearms and cash. I want to have a cruiser undercover on every block within a ten-kilometre radius at least two hours beforehand. These men are dangerous and armed. And after tonight they are going to get locked up for what they did." He turned to Andy at this point and gave her a look. "I want both gangs, Naylor's and Keegan's, alive. Hopefully it won't resort to violence. Serve, Protect and let's get these sons of bitches." Everyone moved out of the room. Tracy, Diaz and the other former rookies walked over to Andy, giving her hugs and their support. Dov fist pumped the air.

"Oh man! This is going to be awesome! It's going to be a real takedown! And we get to be involved this time. They aren't even going to know what hit them!" Typical Dov. Andy chuckled to herself as they strolled to the locker rooms to grab their bags before being put into their surveillance groups. It wasn't until four that all the vans rolled out of the parking lot. Most of them were service vans but the odd cruiser or two that would discreetly drive around the neighbourhood.

Andy was placed in a very beat-up rusted van along with Noelle, Diaz, and Jerry and drove it to the school where the basketball court was littered with old cars cover in graffiti. They blended in perfectly. Across the road there was a cable company van that Andy knew contained Dov, Tracy, Best, Boyd and two other cops. They waited out the remaining time in silence, only receiving an update Gail and Luke who were doing drive-bys in dressed as civilians in an old green Honda Civic. It was fifteen to six when a black SUV pulled up to the school.

"Alright people this is it. Look alive." Best spoke into his radio and everyone looked at the surveillance screens. The car stopped outside the gymnasium doors and a five people filed out. Andy's breath caught in her throat when she saw the familiar dark hair of Sam.

"We have a visual." Gail's voice cracked through the radio. They watched as the men unloaded large bulky item and shuffled it into the gymnasium. Keegan pulled on the metal garage door closed after they had moved the counterfeiting machine inside.

"And now we wait." Noelle sighed, settling back into her small chair. Everyone watched from blocks around, cruising or hiding in civilian cars. It wasn't until two past six o'clock that two black Escalades and a van pulled up. "How original." Noelle scoffed and picked up her radio. "Alright people this is it. Look alive. Two black Escalades and one black GMC van have pulled up. All units start to make your way slowly towards the target area." Men filed out, with weapons on their waists and carrying large black duffels. "Be aware targets are armed." Keegan's crew emerged from the building, also with weapons. Keegan went to the front and Naylor mirrored his actions. They shook hands and Keegan gestured them inside. Hesitantly they all walked in and out of sight. Noelle grabbed her radio and spoke quickly. "Go! Go! Go!"

It was like a firework display of red and blue. Sirens were going off everywhere and suddenly the entire building was completely surrounded by cruisers and undercover cars. Police opening their doors and drawing their weapons. Andy and the others raced to a car for cover. Frank grabbed the microphone and his voice echoed through the lot.

"This is the police. Lower your weapons and get down on the ground now." Both crews were completely baffled, looking like deer in the headlights. Slowly they raised their hands and turned around. Andy saw Sam standing next to Keegan, who looked fuming mad. His hands weren't up and he was just seething. Frank spoke again. "Alex Keegan; lower yourself to the ground immediately." He didn't move. "Now!" He spoke more firmly and he finally raised. Andy saw his mouth move and Sam shook his head. Keegan didn't look like he believed what he was saying. He was getting angrier, his mouth moving faster at Sam who was still shaking his head. Frank motioned and the police moved forward, cuffing each man who was on their knees. Andy moved forward to cuff Keegan only to hear him yelling at Sam. Andy's blood went cold as he heard Alex's words.

"You're behind this. I know you are! You and your little cop girlfriend. You think I didn't know you were working with them?" Sam shook his head again.

"I swear I had no idea they knew. She didn't even know, could she? I didn't tell her a thing."

"You were supposed to be our ears and eyes! You literally fuck up the one thing I tell you to do!" Sam had his arms up in surrender.

"She didn't know I swear! I didn't tell her anything!" Keegan laughed

"I suppose you think I'm going to believe that? That's all you want isn't it? Andy McNally; the future Mrs. Swarek." Diaz and Noelle who were cuffing two other men gasped as they heard her name. She couldn't believe this was happening now, out of all the times. "Where is she Sam? Is she here?" He looked around and his eyes landed on her a few feet away, she had her cuffs out ready to lock him. "There she is!" He pointed at her and held out his hands for her. "Here you go. Clearly you're boyfriend did a wonderful job putting us away. Tell me how is it going to work? Conjugal visits?" She moved towards him, not saying a word. Then suddenly he was behind her, twisting her arm behind her back. She gasped in pain and she heard guns being pulled. "Ah, ah ah." He singsonged and she felt cool metal on her cheek. Why does this always happen to me? She thought as he tightened his hold. She looked up to see Sam not four feet away from her; his hands were out in a stop sign kind of way.

"Keegan, stop it. Okay let's just talk about it alright?" He laughed

"You know what Sammy, I'm tired of talking to you. Because I never seem to get anywhere when I do. So here's a little bargaining chip for you." He gave an Andy a shake. Out of the corner of her eye she could see three uniformed officers pointing their guns at him. "Now, tell me the truth. What did you tell her?"

"I didn't tell her anything. She found out last night I was part of the group that kidnapped her then she kicked me out. She didn't say anything about this deal. Even if I had wanted to tell her about it she didn't give me the chance to." He looked over at her, his eyes tightening. "That's all I swear. Just let her go Keegan." He pleaded, begging for him to listen. "This isn't going to help you. Go willingly and it'll help."

"I refuse to go back." Keegan drawled, his voice strained. "I already spent too long in that hell hole, I'm not going."

"You don't have to, just let her go and they can give you options." Sam, moved a little closer, keeping his eyes on him. Then a pull of a hammer had everyone frozen.

"No, you don't get to tell me what to do. Nobody bosses me around."

"Nobody's telling you what to do. Just put down the gun. We're all in this together." Sam was trying hard to keep calm. Andy was frightened and despite her best to stay strong a tear leaked from her eye. He looked at Sam, pleading for anything to make it stop. Then when Keegan spoke it struck a cord in Andy that make her skin crawl; like he had just had a revelation.

"You're right. We are in this together." Keegan looked down at Andy then back up at Sam. "Time to say goodbye." And then he pulled the trigger.
