3 days later Collins and Shaw are on patrol
Oliver: We need to make a stop. Take a left at the end of the street. Now the next left and into the 1st parking lot on the right.
Nick: We are stopping at Andy's?
Oliver: Actually, it is Sam and Andy's now. We are stopping into see Sam.
Nick: How has he been doing?
Oliver: Well, you will know when we go ask him. Come on Collins, keep up.
Oliver knocks at the door and Sam slowly answers.
Sam: Hey, what are you guys doing here.
Oliver: Uhh just checking in on you. How are you feeling.
Sam: Good, a little better every day.
Oliver: Good, that's good. McNally home?
Sam: No, she went to get us dinner. What is wrong with you? You look a little cagey.
Sam looks at Nick but he just shrugs his shoulders not sure why they are even there.
Oliver: No not cagey, I just have a wife and I know how wives...and girlfriends get when you do something they do not like.
Sam: Ok...what the hell are you talking about?
Oliver: Anton Hill...oh and Boyd...are you serious why do you need to meet with them?
Sam: Isn't it obvious.
Nick: Wait...you are meeting with Hill and Boyd?
Sam rolls his eyes: I am hoping to. It really isn't a big deal.
Oliver: Really? So Andy knows about it then? No? Yeah I didn't think so.
Sam: I am going to tell her as soon as I find out if Frank can arrange it.
Oliver: Yeah, well that is why we are here. Frank got you clearance to meet with them tomorrow at 10am.
Sam: Why didn't he call me?
Oliver: Because I wanted to come here and try to stop you. Look man, you have the woman of your dreams, you are living together. In less than a month you managed to arrest the Shea brothers, Hill, and Boyd. You and Andy make a great team, you have made your point now can you please just be happy and let the rest of this go.
Sam: Oliver. Relax. Andy and I are going to be fine. I am going to tell her and she will be fine with it so don't worry about it.
Andy: What is Andy going to be fine with?
Sam: Heeeey...your home. Shaw and Collins just stopped by to check on me.
Oliver: Oh would you look at the time! Nice seeing you McNally. Sam.
Andy: Bye guys. She waits until the door closes. What was that?
Sam: What?
Andy: That...Oliver being all weird. Nick too for that matter.
Sam: I don't know...they are weird. What did you get for dinner?
Andy: You said " Andy will be fine with it" What does that mean?
Sam: It's nothing.
Andy: Sam!
Sam: Uuugh. I am going into the station tomorrow.
Andy: No, you have not been cleared for work.
Sam: I am not going to work. I am just going to the station.
Andy: Why?
Sam pauses and clears his throat: To meet with Hill and Boyd. Did you get any ice cream?
Andy: Did you just say what I think you said?
Sam: Yes...did you get any ice cream.
Andy: Sam...Hill and Boyd.
Sam: Oh yeah, that. I am just going to meet with them tomorrow.
Andy: Really? Did you think about maybe running that one by me?
Sam: I was..I swear, I was planning to tell you. Oliver just told me it was happening.
Andy: So you are telling me that you did not request to meet with them? That Oliver just showed up here and tell you to come to the station to meet with them tomorrow?
Sam: Alright, I called Frank the other day and asked him to set it up. I was waiting to tell you until I knew for sure it was a go. If you think about it, you have no reason to be mad about this...you went to meet Matty without telling me.
Andy just stares at him and grabs her jacket. She goes into the bedroom and shuts the door, leaving Sam standing there not really sure what the right move is. He gives her a minute and walks into the bedroom.
Sam: Andy, I swear I was going to tell you about this tonight. I don't know why you so upset.
Andy: Sam...I stood there useless and watched you get shot. I was with you on the way to the hospital and I sat in the waiting room praying that you would survive. In my heart I believed you would be alright. But standing there...seeing you like that...I have never been so scared in my life. So for you to just sit there and say I have no reason to be upset about this, about you going to see the person who tried to murder you...it is a little insulting.
Sam: I'm sorry. I know how terrified I was when Matty hurt you and you were in the hospital, I should have thought about that. And I should have talked to you about this before Frank. Truthfully I didn't know if they would even be willing to talk to me, I want to worry you until I knew for sure.
Andy: Why do you want to see them?
Sam: I don't know. They tried to hurt you. Boyd tried to kill you, and then me. It is just something I have to do.
Andy: Ok, I get it. but you have to promise me something.
Sam: What's that?
Andy: Don't let them get to you. They will try, but you can't let them. Promise me that.
Sam: I promise. Plus I need you to take me anyway. You and Frank will be in the viewing area the whole time...everything will be fine I promise.
Andy:Ugggh...fine. But after this we have the trials, then we put all of this behind us. I never want to hear the name Donovan Boyd again.
Sam: Agreed.
The following morning they head to the station. Both quiet on the way. Sam stares out the window as Andy drives. Andy knows that the hardest part is behind them but she can't help but worry. She knows Sam would do anything for her, she just doesn't want him to lose it on Boyd, not that he doesn't deserve it...
Andy: Sam, I have a condition for your meeting with Boyd.
Sam: Anything...I think.
Andy: I want to be in the room when you meet with Boyd.
Sam: No way.
Andy: Why not?
Sam: I don't want him anywhere near you ever again.
Andy: He tried to kill the both of us. I have a few things to say to him. We go in there, say our peace and we move on with our lives. Anton Hill is your business but I think I have every right to talk to Boyd.
Sam: Okay, we have been in this together since the beginning. We might as well end it together...
