Andy follows the stretcher to the helicopter. Frank and Luke stay behind waiting for a second helicopter to come pick up Boyd.

Frank chases after Andy: Andy, we will be right behind you, we just can't leave him...

Andy: I know

Frank: Andy...It is going to he okay.

Andy nods and gets into the helicopter, She sits up by Sam's head and tries to calm herself down " He is going to be okay, he will make it. This is not like Jerry, he will be fine". She can say it as many times as she wants but it doesn't calm or comfort her. She has never seen him like this, helpless and hurt. He is always the one calms her down in a crisis. She realizes that it is her turn now, she has to believe in him the way he had done for her so many times. She takes a deep breath and leans into his hear

" You listen to me Sam Swarek, I need you to really listen to me. You need to fight. I know you are tired, but you cannot give up. You promised me you wouldn't leave me and I am going to hold you to that..."

Paramedic: Officer McNally, you need to sit back, we are about to land.

2 minutes later they are on the helipad of the hospital and before she can say goodbye they have rushed Sam into surgery. Andy walks into the waiting room with tears in her eyes. She opens the door to find Traci, Gail, Nick, Chris, Dov, Noelle, and Oliver.. They all go over to her and hug her telling her it is all going to be ok.

Noelle: Frank just called they should land in 3 minutes.

Andy: Great.

Traci: What the hell happened out there? I mean we know he was working for Anton and we assume he wanted revenge but did he say why?

Andy: He is insane. He blames me for loosing his job, for being black balled from every department in the city. He came to kill me but decided it would be more of a punishment if he killed Sam. He was right.

Oliver shakes his head: That sone of a...I just can't believe this, it was Boyd...he was one of us.

Noelle: Not anymore, and clearly he was never one of us. Just a dirty cop.

Tracy gets up and walks out of the room. Andy sees and follows her.

Andy: Trac

Traci: Oh hey, I just came out to uh, get some coffee.

Andy: Traci, you do not have to be here right now.

Traci: Where else would I be?

Andy: You don't have to be here for me to know that you care. I know this cannot be easy for you.

Traci: You are right, it is not easy. But I would just rather be here with you guys then being home worrying about you and Sam and thinking about Jerry. So I NEED to be here right now.

Andy: Okay, thank you.

Traci: Andy...I really feel like he is going to get through this. How could he not... he has Jerry looking out for him.

Andy forces a smile and hugs Traci. She sees the doctor walking towards takes a step back and Traci holds onto her hand. Everyone else sees the doctor coming and they join Andy and Traci in the hallway. At the same time Luke and Frank walk in. For better or worse they are all together.

Doctor: Good evening officers

Oliver: Doc...how is he? Is he alright?

Andy stands there frozen

Doctor: He made it through surgery. The next 24 hours are critical but we are hopeful.

Andy: Can I see him?

The Doctor hesitates

Frank: She s family, she needs to see him.

The doctor nods and Andy follows. She walks in the room and looks at Sam laying there, he looks so peaceful. She walks over to him and hives him a kiss on his forehead. She sits next to him an hold his hand.

Andy: Hey. The doctor said you did great in the surgery and that you are going to be just fine. I just really need you to wake up, because you know, I could really use your help packing your place so you can move in with me.

She tries to laugh at her lame attempt at humor but can't, all she can do is cry. The doctor walks in and asks Andy to step out of the room for a few minutes. She kisses Sam's hand " I am going to step outside for a minute but I will be right back. I love you".

She walks into the hall tears streaming down her face, she makes her way to the waiting room and finds Luke.

Andy: Where is everyone?

Luke: Boyd is conscious, Frank sent Chris and Dov to read him his rights and guard him until he gets some more uniforms down here. Noelle and Frank went home to the baby and Gail and Peck went to go get you some clothes.

Andy: Where did Nick and Oliver go?

Luke: Cafeteria

Andy laughs: Figures. What are you doing here still?

Luke: I wanted to make sure you are alright.

Andy: Never better.

Luke: I am sorry, I really am. Mostly that you have to go through this all over again.

Andy: Yeah, it was not too fun the 1st time either.

Luke: You are telling me...but I recovered. He will too.

Andy: I know. I just want him to wake up. You know, when you were shot. I just sat by your bed trying to will you to wake up. Praying to God and anyone who would listen.

Luke: He will wake up.

Andy: Yeah? How can you be sure?

Luke: He will do it for the same reason I did...he knows you are waiting for him.

Andy tears up and Luke places an arm around her.

Andy: I am going to see if the doctor is done.

Luke: Call me if you need anything.

Andy: I will. Hey Luke, thank you.

Luke: Anytime. He will wake up soon, you will see.

Andy walks back to into the room and sits down. Oliver walks in awhile later.

Oliver: Hey, I brought you a sandwich.

Andy: I am not hungry.

Oliver: Andy, you have to eat.

Andy: I can't.

Oliver: Ok, well why don't you go get some rest. I will sit with him.

Andy: Oliver, go home. Seriously, he would want you to be with Zoe and the girls.

Oliver: He is my brother, I can't leave.

Andy smiles at him: Pull up a chair.

2 hours later they have both fallen asleep. Oliver in a chair in the corner and Andy sitting next to Sam with her head laying on the bed, still holding onto his hand. She wakes up suddenly not really sure why until she feels it. Sam's hand is squeezing hers. She looks up to find him staring at her.

Sam: I thought you would never wake up.

Andy: Sam! Thank God. Sam i am so sorry...

Sam: Andy, stop. Boyd is the one who did this.

Andy: I know, it was just scary. I thought I lost you.

Sam: How many times to I have to tell you...I am not going anywhere.

Andy: I need you to remind me from time to time.

Sam: Happily. Now you need to get some sleep.

Andy: I am not leaving.

Sam: I don't want you to leave. Get in bed with me.

Andy: Sam, you were shot. I cannot climb into bed with you.

Sam: I don't know if you remember but I was shot and almost died tonight...the least you could do is get into bed with me.

Andy glares at him but she can't mast her smile. She climbs into the bed and lays her head next to his trying not to hurt him. She holds his hand and lays there staring at him.

Sam : Uhhhh Andy?

Andy: hmmm?

Sam; Why is Oliver sleeping in the corner?

Andy: Because, you are his brother.

Sam smiles: Good do me a favor, close your eyes and get some sleep.

Andy: Bossy.

Sam: I get to be bossy...I almost died.

Andy: Sam, It's not funny.

Sam: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're right. But seriously you need to get some sleep, so do I for that matter.

Andy: I love you, I hope you know that.

Sam: I love you, Andy more than you could ever know.

1 week later...

Andy: Alright, just take it easy ok?

Sam: Andy...I am recovering from surgery, I am not an invalid.

Andy: You kind of are...

Andy Opens the door to their place and Sam walks in.

Andy: Welcome home.

Sam: Ahhh...good to be home. Now I jut need to get my stuff over here.

Andy: Yeah about that...I kind of had some help. Oliver and Frank helped me. We moved most of your stuff in. The rest we can get when you are feeling batter.

Sam: Have I told you lately that I love you?

Andy: Yes, but feel free to tell me as often as you like. Now lie down please.

Sam: Wow you get right to the point.

Andy: Sam!

Sam: I was shot...I am not dead.

Andy: Sorry, no funny business until you are fully healed.

Sam: WHAT?!

Andy: Sorry...Doctors orders.

Sam: I do not recall the doctor saying that.

Andy: He didn't. Those are my orders. If you recall, you had the same rules after Matty kidnapped me.

Sam: Yeah, and we didn't exactly wait until you were recovered.

Andy: You had life threatening injuries. Now lay down. I will get you something to eat.

Andy walks out of the room

Sam:This conversation is not over!

Sam Waits until she is gone and takes his phone out of his pocket.

Sam: Frank, it's Sam.

Frank: Sammy...how are you doing pal.

Sam: I am good, man. Hey thanks so much for helping Andy pack up my place.

Frank: Happy to do it. Now what's going on?

Sam: I need a favor.

Frank: Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Sam: I want to sit down with Boyd.

Frank: Sam...

Sam: He shot me, he tried to kill Andy. I want a meeting and I want it before his trial.

Frank: I will see what I can do.

Sam: Frank, I need you to keep this between us for now. I am going to tell Andy, but I want to give it a couple days. She has been so worried.

Frank: I know, alright let me see what I can do and we will go from there.

Sam: Thanks. Oh and Frank...one more favor.

Frank: What?

Sam: I also want to sit down with Anton. We have some catching up to do.

Sam hangs up the phone before Frank can protest the request. Donovan Boyd and Anton Hill...Sam will get his meeting. Now, how to tell Andy...
