10:30 PM

As Andy sat down in the food coffee room of the 15th, she was getting more and more excited about seeing Sam. She had got some paper and made a list of everything that they were going to do. She knew it was insane but she needed someway to collect her thoughts into some kind of order. She heard some noise and saw people start to move. Noticing Jessica rushing pass she stood up wondering what was happening. Peaking around the door she saw Jessica and Fisher talking, but no Sam. She suddenly started to panic. Where was Sam? Jessica did say Fisher and Sam where coming back to the 15th. At something happened to him. Jessica looked back noticing Andy's panic face but turned back to Fisher. Andy rushed over to Fisher who was also speaking to Best.

Best: ' so thats it ?'

Fisher: ' Yeah, you have a problem with that ?'

Beast, looking down : ' no' and with that he walked back to his office.

Jessica: ' are you sure sir ?'

Fisher: ' its his choice, beside you know what happened to day, he brought this one home'

Sarah: ' what about Andy?'

Fisher: ' He needs this more, trust me'

Andy went to Fisher and Jessica

' wheres Sam ?' she said in a panic voice

Jessica said with a sad smile 'he's not coming back, he's resigned as a copper'

' what ?, where is he ?'

Fisher sensing that Andy was panic and she had been though enough today

' I dropped him off at his place about 40 minutes ago ...'

Before Fisher could finish Andy had rushed outside. She got her car and started driving as fast as she could to Sam's. She could feel the tears forming but she had to focus on getting to Sam.

15 minutes later she arrived at Sam's, parking up she ran up the stairs and rang his bell. No answer. She banged on the door

'Sam its me Andy, please if your here let me in'

Still no answer. She knew he kept a spare key in a stone near the 3rd step. She got the key and opened his door unsure what to expect. Walking though his apartment she noticed the 3 bags in the living room. She had gone though the apartment and he was nowhere. She had checked the bed room last, and stood there remembering the night of the blackout feeling horrible. Horrible that she had not gone all the way and hating herself for all the time she had lost. All her energy was suddenly gone and she could feel her legs giving way. She lay down on the bed, breathing in his scent off the pillow. She was alone, all alone again. She broke out in tears. She was tired and sad, sad that she had lost him. All she could feel was pain in her heart. She cried into the pillow while slipping off her shoes and curling up under the blanket realizing this was as close to him as she was ever going to get. Eventually sleep took her.
