As soon as Sam heard Luke's slurred speech he texted Oliver knowing he was on shift to drive by Mcnally's. Rushing as quick as he could he put on a shirt & jeans & ran to the truck. Luke started pounding on the door & he became angry that she was ignoring him. "Sam he is freaking me out now. He sounds really mad." Sam could hear the fear in her voice "I'm on my way & so is Oliver just hang tight& don't open the door." Hearing the pounding through the phone made Sam's heart rate increase at just the thought of her being in danger. He always tried to pass it off as being protective of his rookie but he knew it was much more than that. "I'm here so is Oliver. I'll be right up" Sam hung up the phone & jumped out of the truck needing to lay eyes on her to see for himself that she was ok.
Sam saw Oliver's squad car outside Andy's apartment & made his up to her floor. He could hear Oliver trying to talk some sense into Luke, "hey pal Mcnallys had a long day & is probably sleeping. Why don't we give you a ride home & you can talk to her at work tomorrow?" Sam hesitated on the floor below to see if Oliver had managed to talk him down. "I just wanted to talk to her." " I know & you will tomorrow after everybody has gotten some sleep. Now Epstein here is gonna help you down the stairs & we are gonna give you a ride home." Dov shot a concerned look at his TO, "sir don't you think one of us should stay & make sure Andy's ok?" "Got it covered Epstein. I will meet you down at the squad in a minute." As soon as Dov & Luke passed the floor Sam was waiting on he made his way up to the next floor to Andy's apartment. Oliver was standing outside her door with an all to knowing grin. "So Sammy how did you know Callahan was here?" "I was just lookin after my rookie." "oh is that what were calling it these days. You know Sam rookies & TO's...it's a big no no." Sam just wanted to get inside & see Andy "Oliver you have three daughters, would you be ok with some ex outside their apartment terrifying one of them." Oliver could see how badly Sam wanted it the apartment & couldn't help but toy with him a little since he had never seen Sam so hung up on a girl."Oh I see, so you think of McNally like a daughter & you were just trying to keep her safe. How touching."Oliver could hardly keep the grin off his face. Sam just glared at Oliver and retorted with "shut up ass. Don't you have drunk detective to drive home?" Oliver started to step away from the door & make his way down the hallway "you kiss McNally with that mouth?" laughing as he made his way down the stairs. Sam looked up at he ceiling rolling his eyes as he lifted his hand to knock. He knew he would have a lot of explaining to do in the morning.
Knocking softly he added "McNally it's me" to try & keep from scaring her anymore." She opened the door immediately & he could see the fear in her eyes. He was really pissed at Callahan now for getting her so worked up. Sam push his way inside and wrapped his arms around her leaning his back against the door to shut it. They stood like that for a minute as he waited for her to stop shaking. "It's ok. He's gone. Your safe." Sam crooned in her ear. He could feel her start to relax as she buried her head in his chest taking in deep breaths & getting lost in his scent. "Thanks for coming." "Anytime McNally. Come on lets get your stuff & go." "Go where?" she said finally looking up at him. Sam looked at her like she had three heads " you really think you are staying here tonight after that." She couldn't help but smile at his over protectiveness "right your lookin after your rookie I forgot." Realizing she must have heard Oliver teasing him in the hallway he gave her his best TO face and said "go pack a bag wise ass." She couldn't stop herself from poking fun at him "Do you kiss your rookie with that mouth?" "not when she back talks me." "Yes sir." she gives his a saucy grin as she steps away toward her bedroom. Sam can't help but think this girl. She gonna be the death of me but can't stop grinning like he was won the lottery.
