Sorry for taking so long to put this up. I'm fighting a nasty cold and just finished the last part. Not as much Andy/Luke stuff, but more setting some stuff up for future chapter!

THANK YOU for the reviews! It means so much to me! :)

"You know what, I think I am going to stay here for a little while. Make sure these guys are okay," Andy said. "Actually why don't you guys just go without me."

"Oh no. I am not going without you. I barely want to go with you,."

Andy smiled. "Okay, well I will drive up tomorrow then."

Traci looked at her. "You sure this doesn't have anything to do with Luke Callaghan? Because this screams Callaghan."

Gail groaned. "Don't tell me you're dumping us over Callaghan."

"I'm not. I'll come up tomorrow. I promise. Just need a good night sleep after today, I guess," Andy replied.

"Okay," Traci said, not convinced as her and Gail tried to leave.

"Who are you calling?" Gail asked, after Dov told them of their little plan. Traci and Gail were walking to Traci's car, trying to figure out what to do.

Traci looked at Gail and mouthed "Callaghan." She just got his voicemail so she left a message and hoped he got in time. "Hey Callaghan, this is Traci. I'm sure Andy has probably already called you but you need to tell her that you are working tonight. I can explain later. Thanks, bye."

"Should we just go to McNally's then?" Gail asked.

Trace held up her keychain as she got into her car. "That's what spare keys are for. I doubt that she'll be long."

Callaghan called Traci back a couple minutes later. "Detective Nash, what's up?" he asked as she said hello.

"Did you get my message?"

"No. I just saw that you called."

"Remember the Rookie's annual camping trip we always go on?" Traci asked.

Luke hesitated. "Yes. Andy said she was going on it. It was the 6 of you going, wasn't it?"

"Plans changed. And McNally decided that she didn't want to come up tonight and I'm assuming she already called you and told you she's coming over tonight?"

"Uh, she did."

"You need to tell her you are working. We're not going camping anymore, per say, but having a rooftop party at Dov and Chris'."

"I can do that. Anything else, Nash?"

Traci laughed. "Make an appearance later Callaghan. It will be good to see you."

Gail shot a look at Traci after she hung up the phone. "I still can't believe they are back together again." Honestly, she was surprised. It didn't take much to surprise Gail Peck. Either Andy was really broken over Sam or she never really got over Callaghan. Gail knew Callaghan had never gotten over Andy, even thought it had been his fault.

"Well I wouldn't say they are together," Traci replied.

Gail gave another "Gail look." "I still want to know what Sam thinks about all of this."

"Whatever he's thinking, he's not sharing. Sam is Sam and the best friend inside of me hopes he heard all of that conversation," Traci said.

"Even if he didn't hear, Callaghan's dropped McNally off a couple times. Her funeral if she lets Frank catch her though," Gail muttered.

Andy was a good four or so drinks in when Callaghan showed up on Dov's rooftop patio. She had been talking with Collins for a good hour or so, just laughing and reminiscing. And she could also see the looks Gail was giving her. She was super confused at first and then she saw the sideward glance and smile Traci gave Luke and she put it all together. Her friend was sneaky. Seeing him come out of the doorway, made her heart flutter inside a little.

He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned into him a little. "Six days McNally. I haven't seen you in six days."

"I thought we were trying to keep this on the down low," Andy said quietly.

"They are your friends. Considering Nash and Peck called me, you and Collins tell each other everything, and Epstein saw you get out of my car one morning, it's okay to be seen out in public."

Andy sighed a little. "Just a little paranoid I guess."

"And that would be why you need another drink," Chloe said. She turned to Luke after handing Andy the drink. "Hi, I'm Chloe Price. I don't think I've ever met you before."

Luke smiled at her. "Detective Luke Callaghan. I'm over at 27. So you're Frank's god-daughter?"

"How did you know?" Chloe asked.

Luke shrugged. "Frank and I go way back. I knew your old man. He was actually one of my TO's."

Chloe smiled a little. "No way. You'll have to tell me a little bit more about him."

"Sometime," Luke said. After Chloe left, he whispered in Andy's ear. "Ten bucks says Price has already slept with Epstein."

"You're not that good."

Traci came up to them at that moment. "Who's not that good."

"Luke said ten bucks that Chloe has already slept with Dov."

Traci narrowed her eyes. "Callaghan. Spill."

Luke shrugged. "Frank already knows. He knew from day one. I never asked him his thoughts on Epstein and Price but oh, he knows."

"Do we tell Dov?" Andy asked.

Traci shook her head. "No. No way."

Luke shrugged and took a step back and walked away to go talk to Nick for a little bit, leaving Traci and Andy to talk. "You called him."

"So?"

"I can't believe you."

Traci laughed. "It worked."

"I'm glad he came," Andy said, smiling at the Detective. He was chatting with Nick and laughing a little bit and it just made him even more attractive. He had gotten a haircut since she had last seen him and wow. Maybe she was finally getting over Sam. She'd never fully get over him, she knew that deep down inside but she needed someone to help her get over the heartbreak and Luke Callaghan was a willing participant.

If you would have told her last year that she would be back together with her ex, Andy McNally would have told you to go to hell. She wasn't sure if she was fully ready to commit again to Luke because she was still majorly gunshy over the whole Jo incident. She had forgiven him and had moved on to an extent. It still hurt beyond bad but she also knew that Jo was largely the one to blame for what happened.

Luke wanted to make this right and so far he was trying. For Callaghan to turn down cases and turn down homicides, it meant that he was ready. And for Callaghan to show up at her friend's party to pick her up, it meant that he really was ready to go the extra mile to get her back. Andy knew that if she started another relationship with Luke Callaghan, they'd be looking at an uphill battle.

It had been her childhood best friend's brother that had told her a quote and it still stuck in her mind: "getting back together with your ex is as effective as retaking a test you failed and still not studying for it again." And her dad had been the one to say "every couple gets one big breakup. After that, you're done. Move on." McNally had that tucked in the back of her mind and every time she thought about taking the next step with Luke, her mind went back there.

Andy was tired and she could see Luke was exhausted so she went over to him. "Are you ready to go?'

Luke finished the last of his beer and nodded at Collins. "I am now."

"I'll let you two get home. I think Gail probably wants to go home soon too," Collins said.

It took the two of them about twenty minutes before they actually got down to Luke's car. "My place or yours?" Luke asked.

"My place," she replied. The main reason she never had Luke over yet was because she hadn't had a guy sleep in her bed or even be there (the exceptions being Collins, Epstein, Chris and Oliver) since Sam. It brought back some memories.

Luke smiled at her as he got into the car. "Sounds good."

As they got into bed, their routine just seemed so natural, already. Andy turned out the light and snuggled under the covers. He hadn't even kissed her yet, since they had "been back together" let alone slept together. Sure, they were sleeping in the same bed but if this was going anywhere, Andy was going to take it slow. Really slow. "How much do you know about Price?"

"Her IQ is stupidly high. She has an older sister, Cassandra and a younger brother, Devon. Her youngest brother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 12 and Chloe was 19. Her father was a decorated cop."

"Was?" Andy recognized the past tense.

"Eight years ago, her dad was gunned down in broad daylight by a wannabe gangbanger in Detroit. He had been retired by then, and Price had arrested the gang leader before and basically cut the head off the snake. Think Jamison Boys except 10 times worse."

Andy stayed silent. "How do you know this?"

Luke reached for Andy's hand under the covers. "Pat Price was mine and Frank's TO when we were younger. I was the liaison between Toronto PD and Detroit PD. How's Traci doing?" He said, changing the subject abruptly.

"Traci is Traci. She's strong because she has to be strong."

"I'm glad she called me tonight."

"Me too," Andy replied.

As she rolled over and snuggled into Luke, she was surprised at her thoughts and actions towards her ex. She honestly never thought that he would ever be back in her life, let alone in her bed. If there was one thing, Luke always did have her back, no matter what. And every time she was with Luke, she never once thought about Sam and Marlo. Never once. It was awesome, that way. Maybe Luke really was what she needed to heal her broken heart.

The next morning Andy woke up to a text message from Nick on her cell phone. All it read was: Do I tell Gail the truth?

*drum roll. I honestly had no intentions of even putting Chloe in this chapter but I have an idea to get her into this story. I am not even sure I really like her character, because I do find her whiny and annoying but I do think Dov and her do go good together and I think it would be rather (this might be the wrong word) ironic if she had a darker side to her past.

As far as the truth is concerned... the million dollar question is, what happened during the six months? What did Nick and Andy leave out? (a simple they crossed the black and white line isn't going to be it)

Next chapter- Sam and Luke...
