Nick: No

Andy: I need to see him. He is being held there until his trial.

Nick: Again, no.

Andy: Nick, I have to do this.

Nick: Why isn't Sam taking you.

Andy: I do not want Sam to know that I am going.

Nick; Why?

Andy: I just lectured him on staying away from Matt, I can't tell him I want to go see the guy.

Nick: Why can't Sam see him?

Andy: Because Sam is ready to kill him. He will lose his cool if he is alone with Matty.

Nick: And you won't? Come on Andy, the guy almost killed you. Not to mention he knocked you around quite a bit, not to mention I want to kill him.

Andy: Nick please, It takes hours to get there I really need to get on the road.

Nick: OK, I don't like this but I will make you a deal. You can use my car to go to Sudbury, but I am going with you.

Andy: Fine, I don't have time to argue. But I am going to see him alone. Deal?

Nick: Deal.

Sam walks into 15 looking a little lighter and more relaxed than he has been in a long time. He hated leaving Andy but went into work knowing that he got to end his day with her, that made it more bearable.

Noellle: Well look at you, detective. You look awfully happy.

Sam: Life is good Noelle, life is good.

Noelle: Look's like things are good with McNally. Hey, Oliver...check out Sammy.

Oliver: I have been trying to call you for days,brother.

Sam: I've been busy.

Oliver: Oh yeah, busy, busy. So how is McNally?

Noelle: Look at him, he can't stop smiling...I feel like I am seeing a unicorn. Sam Swarek, in love.

Sam: Alright, alright, get to work.

In the Truck...

Nick: Why are we doing this exactly?

Andy: I just need to see him.

Nick: Why?

Andy: I just don't get it, he was a good kid.

Nick: Yeah he was, but then he kidnapped and beat you. So I am going to go ahead and say that maybe he was not that great to begin with.

Andy: Can we just talk about something else? What is going on with Gail?

Nick: Oh, that. Well, that is not going so well. Though she has not thrown anything at me at work in a few days so I think I am making progress.

Andy: She will come around. Gail just needs a little time.

Nick: I am assuming things are back on track with Swarek?

Andy cannot hide her smile: Things are good, things are real good.

Nick: Does that mean you don't need a break up buddy anymore?

Andy: Nope but I thanks you for your services.

Nick: You're welcome...though just so we are clear, if Gail doesn't thaw out soon I may need a break-up buddy.

Andy: Anytime

Sam walks into the D's office, he is hoping to get done early so he can get home to Andy but the pile of work sitting in front of him has different plans.

Traci: Well hello there.

Sam: Hey, sorry I bailed on the last few days. I am sure you have been swamped.

Traci: Nope, I am good actually. Callahan was here for a couple of days so he helped out.

Sam: Callahan huh? He still around?

Traci: No, but he may be back. Not sure yet.

Sam: Great.

Traci: Sooo...how are things?

Sam: Things are good, really good.

Traci: Are you back together?

Sam: Andy didn't tell you? That is surprising.

Traci: I called her about 10 times since she got out of the hospital but she never called me back. I thought you might have been keeping her busy.

Sam looks confused: You did not talk to Andy this morning?

Traci: No, why?

Sam: No reason. I need to make a quick phone call I will be back in a minute.

Sam steps outside and calls Andy, her phone is off and goes straight to voicemail: Hey, it's me. Can you please call me as soon as you get this? It's important...ok, I'll talk to you soon

Andy and Nick arrive in Sudbury.

Andy: I want to go in alone.

Nick: I really don't like this not to mention when Sam finds out about this he is going to kill me.

Andy: Oh no, when he finds out he is going to kill me.

Andy sits down in a visitors room waiting for the guard to bring in Matty. Usually the private rooms at Sudbury are for visits with attorney's or official questioning. Andy flashed her badge and told them she was there on official police business. All that time Sam was her TO had really rubbed of on Andy. She knew he was going to be upset that she went on this little road trip but she hoped he might be a little proud of her for breaking a rule or 2 along the way. Suddenly the door opened and in walked Matty. He looked like he had been knocked around himself a little bit. He hung his head low, like he didn't want to make eye contact with anyone. The guard sat him down and in the seat across from Andy, cuffed him to the table and walked out of the room.

Matty: What do you want?

Andy: Seriously? I want to know why the hell you did this to me. You drugged and kidnapped me, beat the hell out of me and were going to kill me. What I want to know is why.

Matty: I told you why. You set up my brother. With the amount that was on that boat, he will be in jail for God knows how long. And for what? So you could advance your little career as a cop. Give me a break.

Andy: That is what you think it is about? Getting some gold star? Your brother is supplying kids with drugs all over the city and you are going to blame this whole thing on my ego? Are you kidding me? I know you are smarter than that.

Matty: Look, you screwed my brother, I wanted payback so I did what I did to you. Deal with it. I am the one rotting away in here.

Andy: You never did anything without some one telling you too, and you and I both know that. So why is it that now, after doing everything your brother told you, your entire life, are you now making all your own decisions? He told you he was not going to let you in the business, you backed off. he told you to go to school, where to go to school, hell he probably told you what to study and you did it. So I am not buying this garbage about you acting alone. You were always nice to me so I am not buying this whole act you have going. I think some one told you to do it, and I think it was your brother.

Matty: No!

Andy: There is no other explanation.

Matty: It wasn't suppose to be like this.

Andy: What?

Matty: I was just suppose to scare you, I took it too far.

Andy: So Mike told you to kidnap me and scare me...for what purpose?

Matty: It wasn't like that. I was suppose to teach you a lesson. But you made me so mad. I just lost it. No one ever believed I could do it, but I proved everyone wrong.

Andy: What are you talking about? Matty...Look at me. You are not making any sense...

Matty: You and your boyfriend keep sticking your noses where they don't belong. First with Emily and now with my brother.

Andy: Emily? Who is Emily? What are you talking about?

Matty sat there silent. Andy didn't know what he was trying to say to her, but she knew that he had just told her something he wasn't suppose to. She sat there silently watching Matty trying to recall if she had ever met anyone named Emily when she was undercover. She was sure she hadn't and almost as positive that Nick hadn't. Matty had always been a little jealous of Nick, even though nothing every happened with them, Matty didn't know that, he thought they were a couple and they let him believe it. They let everyone believe it.

After that Matty would not say a word. Andy decided to cut her losses and head home. She didn't get what she came for but she did get confirmation that there was more to the story than any of them knew.

She walked out of the jail and hopped into the passenger seat.

Nick: That was fast.

Andy: yeah, he was not all that helpful. He did say something that made me think there is more going on though.

Nick: What's that?

Andy: He said that my boyfriend and I keep sticking out noses where they don't belong. First with Emily then with Mike.

Nick: Emily?

Andy: That is what I said. I don't remember anyone named Emily, unless she used a nickname. Look, do me a favor...another one. When you go into work tomorrow can you go over the files for all of the people involved in the bust. Maybe we missed something. I just cannot imagine what he is talking about. I would do it myself but Sam and Frank won't let me walk through the front door until I am cleared.

Nick: Yeah, no problem. Honestly though Andy, I think he is just screwing with you. But I will look into it.

Andy: Alright, let's get going.

Sam tried calling Andy a million times. Every time it went straight to voice mail. He decided to go to her apartment and look for her but she was no where to be paced back and forth trying to figure out what to do. Something wasn't right. She lied to him this morning about talking to Nash and now she is gone. He kept telling himself that she was OK, but after everything that had happened it was hard to rationalize it. He grabbed his keys and was about to head out and look for her when she walked in the door.

Sam: Jesus...where have you been?

Andy: Nice to see you too, honey.

Sam: I am serious.

Andy: I did not realize you needed to police my every move. What is wrong?

Sam: What is wrong is that I went to work today and found out you lied to me. You did not talk to Nash this morning like you said. Then I called you and left multiple messages, all going straight to voice mail.

Andy looks at her phone: Oops, my phone must have died.

Sam: "Ooops"? Seriously?

Andy: Sam, I went out for the day, I thought you were going to be at work I did not mean to freak you out.

Sam: McNally, less than a week ago you were kidnapped and almost murdered! Before that you just took off for 6 months without so much as a word. So excuse me if I was a little worried when you went missing today.

Andy: I didn't go missing, I was with Nick. She didn't mean to say it but it just slipped out, not exactly how she wanted to tell him what she had done with her day.

Sam: So let me get this straight. You told me that it was Traci calling you this morning when really it was Collins?

Andy: Yes, I lied. I am sorry, really. It is not what you think though I promise.

Sam: You know what Andy, I think I am going to stay at my place tonight. You call me when you get your story straight.

Andy: Sam! Please, talk to me.

Sam: I am not playing games anymore, Andy. I thought we discussed that, I thought that has been what the last 3 days have been about. But now you are lying to me and taking off with Collins for the day. What the Hell is that about?

Andy: Please, sit. I will explain.

Sam gives her the death stare for what feels like forever, then he walks to the couch and sits down. She follows him.

Andy: Ok, first of all I am truly sorry I lied to you. I don't know why I did it really. I guess I knew if I told you what I was doing you would stop me.

Sam: And what exactly were you doing?

Andy: I called Nick because I needed to borrow his truck.

Sam: Why did you just use mine.

Andy: Because you would have asked me where I was going.

Sam: Where was that?

Andy: Sudbury.

Sam tenses up: Why?

Andy: I had to go see Matty.

Sam: You spent a good amount of time telling me to stay away from this guy and now you are telling me that you went to Sudbury by yourself to talk to the man that beat and nearly killed you. And I am suppose to be OK with this?

Andy: I know, I'm sorry. Good news! I did't go alone...Nick came.

Sam: Ohh yeah, that is fantastic news, really just great.

Andy: Look, I was wrong to lie, and I should have told you what I was doing. Something was just bothering me about the whole situation. I had to see him. But I am sorry I scared you.

Sam: It has been a long day. I am going to go home. I will call you in the morning.

Andy: Just stay with me, we need to talk about this.

Sam: Honestly, I am too pissed off right now. Call you tomorrow.

Andy stands there after Sam shut the door. She knows she had every right to go see her attacker, but she has never lied to Sam and she didn't want to start now. She did exactly what she told him not to do, so she could see why he might be pissed.

Andy can't seem to sit still, she hated how they left things and she knew he did too. She was about to go to his house but she stopped herself, He needed time and space, something she was admittedly never good at. She decided to try to put it out of her mind if she could. She had some dinner and then decided to go to bed early. She tossed and turned for what felt like hours but when she looked at the clock it was only 10:30. She laid there silent until she suddenly heard a noise. She got up grabbed her gun from the sight stand and stood there for a second with the gun pointed at the door. She heard foot steps and they were getting closer bedroom door. All the sudden the door opened.

Andy: Move one more step and I will shoot you.

Sam: It's me Sam! Put that thing down.

Andy: What the hell are you doing?! I almost shot you!

Sam: Sorry, I was knocking on the door because I didn't want to just walk in and scare you.

Andy: Yeah, well good job! What are you doing here?

Sam: I should not have left like that. I was angry.

Andy: And you are not anymore.

Sam: I just wish you trusted me, to tell me.

Andy: I know, I do trust you. I just figured you would not want me to go.

Sam: You are right. I don't want you to be in a room with that guy ever again. But you had the right to go. I just don't really know why you went.

Andy: I wanted to confront him, to scream at him. But when I got there I just felt sorry for the guy. He just looked so pathetic. I don't know, it just didn't feel right so I asked him why he did it.

Sam: And?

Andy: I don't know, revenge I guess. But I got the feeling that he was told to do it.

Sam. What, why?

Andy: He said some things that made me think that. I don't know. I really don't want to talk about him anymore tonight.

Sam: Ok

They climb into bed and lay there in silence for a bit.

Andy: I really am sorry.

Sam: I know. Me too.

Andy: I am glad you came back.

Sam: Me too.

Andy starts laughing.

Sam: What?

Andy: I don't know know. I was just thinking...the 1st time I met you i tackled you in an ally...you hated me! We have come a long way.

Sam: I never never hated you!

Andy: Please...you were so mad at me. I mean you were about to close a huge case and...

Sam: What?

Andy sit up: Oh my god.

Sam: What? What's wrong?

Andy: I know who Emily is.

Sam: Huh?

Andy: Matty told me today that my boyfriend and I need to keep out noses out of other people's business. He said 1st it was Emily and now Mike. I didn't know what he meant. I thought he was talking about Nick and I busting Mike and his crew.

Sam: OK, but you don't now?

Andy: He was talking about Emily...Anton Hill's old bookkeeper. Sam, Matty has been working for Anton!
