Luke walks out of the interrogation room and into the the viewing area.
Luke: Andy, Collins I need you to go to Frank's office and get him up to speed on everything that just happened.
Andy: Ok, what are you going to do?
Luke: I need to talk to Sam about the best way to proceed with Hill since he clearly knows him the best. I want to get this done quickly so if you guys could just fill Frank in it will speed up the process. Sam and I will be right behind you.
Andy and Nick take their orders and head out of the room
Luke: This is a problem.
Sam: I know, dammit. I wanted to get Hill, I was just hoping this was not personal.
Luke: Well clearly it is which means Andy is in danger. The fact that nothing has happened since she got out of the hospital is a little surprising.
Sam: Not exactly.
Luke: Meaning?
Sam: Meaning that I have been concerned about this. I have been paying some retired cops to do surveillance outside her apartment at night and stick with her when I am not around.
Luke: Uhhh...does Andy know this?
Sam: Not exactly.
Luke: Good luck telling her that one. Why didn't you tell her?
Sam: She has been looking over her shoulder for so long. I wanted her to have a break, to feel safe again.
Luke: Well, you have to tell her. Not only do you have to tell her that but we also have to move her into a safe house until Anton is in custody.
Sam: She is not going to like this.
Luke: No she isn't but I think you should go with her.
Sam: Me?
Luke: Right now, we do not know if him trying to kill her is about her UC or or yours but in any event neither of you is safe right now. We are also going to have to put some uniforms on Tommy and Clair McNally. We can't take any chances, he could try to go through them to get to Andy.
Sam:Tommy is going to love that one.
Luke: Tommy? Andy is the one I would be worried about.
Sam and Luke walk into Frank's office.
Frank: Hey boss, I need to borrow McNally. Callaghan and Collins with tell you everything you need to know.
Sam pulls Andy into an empty office and shuts the door.
Andy: What is going on? Are we going after Hill now? I will get changed.
Sam: Andy, we are not going after Anton.
Andy: What do you mean?
Sam: You understand what Matty said right? This is very personal and directed at you.
Andy: I know, I heard him.
Sam: Andy, that mean you need to be moved to a safe house.
Andy: What? No.
Sam: Andy it is the only way. I am going too. We can't be sure who Anton is after so we both have to leave.
Andy: For how long?
Sam: Not sure, hopefully it won't be long but I cannot give you a definite answer. There is something else I should probably tell you.
Andy: What?
Sam: Since you got out of the hospital I have had some people do surveillance outside your house.
Andy: Excuse me?
Sam: Look, I know I should have told you...
Andy: what about when I was alone? Were they there then.
Sam: They were always there. They have been tailing you.
Andy is furious: Who the hell do you think you are?!
Sam: Andy...
Andy: No seriously Sam, just the other day you were pissed at me for lying...meanwhile you have a lie of your own. Now here we are moving in together and it is starting on a lie!
Sam: Ok, you are mad. i get it. But I was doing it to protect you. We don't have time to go back and forth about this right now, we have to leave here in 2 hours.
Andy: Where are we going?
Sam: A safe house, I am not sure where. The only people that will know where we are are Frank and Luke. There will also be cops guarding us at the house.
Andy: Can we go home and pack?
Sam: No, they will get us clothes and anything we may need.
Andy: Excellent...you know, this day had started out so well. What the hell happened? That was rhetorical.
Sam: Andy I
Andy: Save it.
Andy walks out of the room and slams the door. So much for a night of celebrating, he would probably be sleeping on the couch of wherever they end up tonight.
Andy walks down the hall storming past Luke.
Luke: Andy
Andy: WHAT?!
Luke: Calm down.
Andy: Why should I? I just found out my boyfriend went beind my back.. you won't even believe what he did.
Like: I know, he told me.
Andy: Ohhh I see, looks like I am last to know. Fantastic. So glad you two are getting along.
Luke: Andy, cut the guy some slack. He is trying to protect you. He did not necessarily go about it the right way but he was looking out for you.
Andy: I am not some little girl that needs protecting and you should both know that by now.
Luke: I am not going to argue about this. You need to be ready to go in 1 hour. Do not tell anyone where you are going or what you are doing.
Andy: That is easy since I have no clue where I am going.
Andy storms off leaving Luke standing there a little stunned.
An hour later they are standing in the garage waiting for the unmarked car. The ride to the safe house is a long one and Andy would not even look at Sam the entire ride. Sam was too worried about making sure no one was tailing them to even pay to much attention. He knew she was pissed, and maybe with good reason but he was not sorry for protecting her, she could be as mad as she wanted to but she was safe, and that is all he cared about.
They arrived at the house 6 hours after leaving the station. They were both tired, it had been a long day and didn't exactly go as planned. Andy walked into the house first it was a lot nicer than Andy had expected. it was small but had a fire place, 2 bedrooms and a fully stocked kitchen. If she was not so angry with Sam she would have thought it was a romantic place. But right now she was just angry. She went into the master bedroom and shut the door. A few minutes later she heard Sam come int the house. He walked into the bedroom without knocking.
Andy: There is another bedroom.
Sam: I know.
Andy: Well, if I were you I would unpack in there.
Sam: I don't think so.
Andy: Fine, then I will.
Sam: Andy, come on...
Andy: I am going to unpack and take a nap
Sam: Fine, I will go in the other room. You stay here. Have a nice nap.
Andy has been in the bedroom for over an hour, Sam decided to start a fire and make some dinner, she is going to have to eat sometime. He figured he would need all the help he could get so he lit some candles and threw on some music.
Andy was in the bedroom. She had not gotten any sleep though she was not going to let him know that. She was starving and had to pee. She just didn't want to deal with him right now but whatever he was cooking smelled delicious. She tried to quietly walk out of the bedroom but the place was small enough that Sam saw her right away.
Sam: How was your nap?
Andy: Great.
Andy looked around and saw the candles lit and the fire. He is trying to pull the romantic card, as if she was going to just forget that he lied.
Sam: Dinner?
Andy:Sure
They ate in silence, Sam was happy that she was sitting with him, he figured maybe she would warm up after a couple glasses of wine.
After dinner she went and sat on the couch in front of the fire. Sam poured some wine and brought her a glass, she accepted it and he sat next to her on the couch.
Sam: Are you ready to talk about this?
Andy: What is there to talk about?
Sam: Will you please hear me out?
Andy: Fine
Sam: I am sorry I did not tell you that I hired those guys. The simplest way to say it is that I was terrified that something else was going to happen to you. I thought if I told you, you would be angry and tell me that you could take care of yourself. But you don't know what these people are capable of. What Matty did to you, it is nothing compared to what Anton would do to you if he found you.
Andy: You didn't even know Anton was behind it until today.
Sam: No, that is correct but i knew that you had been kidnapped and almost killed. i am sorry I lied but not sorry that I protected you. I would do it a thousand times over if it meant keeping you safe.
Andy: After everything you said to me the other day when I lied to you about talking to Traci, I just don't get how you were lying to me all along.
Sam: You are right, I am sorry. I was wrong. I promise, it will NEVER happen again. I am so sorry I wasn't upfront with you.
Andy: Is this why you decided to move in with me?
Sam: God, no. I want to live with you because I love you, and because you look really sexy in my t-shirts.
She tries not to smile but she can't fight it.
Sam: Andy, I don't care how mad you are or how long it takes you to forgive me, I know you will because despite how you feel in this moment, you do love me. And you know that every decision I have ever made, be it when we were partners on the job or now, is and was to protect you. So I will wait you out Andy McNally, I have nothing but time.
Andy: I know you want to protect me, and you always do. I just need you to trust me.
Sam: There is no one I trust more.
Andy: Same. Ok, from here on out, no more secrets. Anything else I should know?
Sam: Mmmmm, there is one more thing and it is kind of big.
Andy looks nervous...what?
Sam: The sauce we had with dinner...it came from a jar.
Andy slaps Sam on the arm and he laughs
Andy: Don't scare me like that you jerk
Sam laughs and throws his arm around Andy and she snuggles close.
Sam: What a day, you know we are suppose to be celebrating tonight...that is, if you still want to live with me.
Andy: You know I do. And look, we even got a new house! How long do you think we will be here anyway?
Sam: Hopefully just a few days, the sooner the better.
Andy: What? You don't like being stranded in the woods with me?
Sam: I would like being stranded anywhere with you, but once Anton and his top guys are in custody you will be safe.
Andy: What do you think he is after anyway?
Sam: I don't know, I mean on the one hand he was awfully angry that I got so close to his organization but that was over 3 years ago. You and I barely knew each other then. Just seems odd that he would pick now to come for payback.
Andy: Maybe it has something to do with me going undercover.
Sam: Could be. It just feels awfully personal, Anton likes to make people pay but this is not really his style, he doesn't sit and wait, he strikes right away. You know what? Let's not talk about that anymore, tonight is about us.
Andy: Mmmmm you are right, I think we should be making the most of this.
Sam: You did always want us to come to a cabin.
Andy: That I did.
Andy grabs his wine glass and puts it on the table and then straddles him as he sits on the couch and kisses him.
Sam: Does this mean I can sleep in your room tonight?
Andy: Who said anything about sleep?
Sam Stands up, Andy wraps her legs around his waist and he carries her to the bedroom. What they didn't know, what they could not have known was that at that moment some one was watching and it wasn't Anton Hill.
The next morning Frank and Luke brief everyone at 15 about the Hill case. There are a lot of questions about where Andy and Sam are but they all go unanswered. It doesn't take a detective to figure out they have to go into hiding until this is all over.
Luke tells them that the bust will take place that Evening. He got Matty to cough up any details that he knew about Anton's whereabouts over the next week. A shipment of heroine was set to arrive that night. It would be transferred to a warehouse where Anton would be waiting. That is when they would get him and hopefully put an end to this whole thing.
That night everything went as planned. Actually, it could not have gone any better. The shipment came in at 11pm by 12:45 it had arrived at the ware house and 20 minutes later the police stormed the building arresting Anton and his entire crew. Luke did not want to wait, he had Anton in Interrogation as soon as they made it back to the station.
Luke: Well, well Anton Hill
Anton: I am not speaking to you with out my attorney.
Luke: That is fine, we can wait. But in the meantime, I am curious. Why exactly did you hire Matty Shea.
Anton: That moron? Isn't it obvious? I hired him because his brother was pissing me off.
Luke: Yeah, I figured. But let me ask you something else, something that has been bothering me. Why exactly did you pay " that moron" as you call him, to kidnapp and kill one of our officers?
Anton laughs: I don't know what you are talking about.
Luke: Really? You are telling me that you have no idea why Matty kidnapped her, that he did it on his own?
Anton: Matty doesn't do anything on his own. I am surprised that idiot remembers to wipe his own ass in the morning. So yeah some one told him, but it wasn't me.
Luke: Then who?
Anton: Where is my lawyer?
Luke: WHO ordered the murder Anton? It it wasn't you then who the hell was it.
Anton laughs at him: You are really stupid aren't you. The answer is right under your nose and you cannot see it.
Luke: What exactly is it that I am not seeing?
Anton: The person who hired the hit, it's one of your own... former detective...Donovan Boyd.
Luke stands there looking shocked for a minute and rushes out of the room leaving Anton sitting there. Frank was in the viewing room and meets Luke in the hall.
Luke: We need to get people out to the safe house NOW!
Frank is on the phone : I need a helicopter on the roof immediately! we have 2 officers in danger. No, not in 20 minutes...NOW!
Traci sees all the chaos: What is going on?!
Frank: go back to your office, get Peck and Diaz to help you. I want everything you can find on Donovan Boyd, where he has been, who he has been talking too, everything he has done since he was removed from the force. And keep it to yourselves, I have no idea who Boyd still talks to here. Call me when you come up with anything.
Traci: Boyd? Why are we looking for him?
Frank: Because, he is trying to kill Andy.
