Disclaimer: Don't own Rookie Blue - or the DVD would already be out to give people something to do during the looooooooong wait until June.

Enjoy!

All of the available units were gathered, waiting for Sam and the men that he brought with him. Sam did a quick count. "What is discussed in here stays amongst us until we find Andy." He glanced around the room and everyone nodded. The two rookies that had been assigned to the booking room were not present and he did not want the other rookies to know what was happening. He turned to them. "Rooks, take over the front desk for Peck and Nash."

The rookies looked at Noelle. She nodded and they left as everyone else rolled their eyes. Only rookies would question Sam's orders.

Once the door swung shut behind them, Sam spoke. "Everyone switch from channel three to channel four. I don't want anyone getting wind of this until it is over." He didn't add that if Readago had Andy, there was a chance that he could hear everything if they stayed on channel three. He needed the element of surprise and the last thing they needed for something like this was the media on their tails.

Sam looked at Andy's friends. "Nash, you are going to ride with Epstein when we get to the warehouse. Get the spare keys before we leave. Diaz, Peck, you are going to be riding together. Diaz, stay on channel three and Peck will radio in if there is a major problem on that channel. You four are going to be doing surveillance. If Readago slipped through the radar once, he might try it again. It takes six minutes to circle the building. Pace yourselves so that you are three minutes apart." Oliver and Noelle exchanged approving glances as Sam spoke. He was keeping her friends at the location but they would not actually be on site when Andy was found. They would not feel that Sam pushed them away but, Sam was actually protecting them.

Sam turned to face everyone else. "I'm dividing the rest of you into two groups." He made an imaginary line with his hand down the middle of the group. "You" he pointed to the group on the right "are going to be taking the first floor while you" he pointed to the group on the left "are going to be taking the second floor." He looked at Noelle and Oliver for a second. "Williams and Shaw are in command of the first floor while Detective Islough and I will be in command of the second floor." His planning made sense. Although there was a mix of officers in each group, most of the officers Sam brought with him from Guns and Gangs ended up in his group.

Detective Islough nodded. "Let's go. And no sirens. We don't need to alert the man of our presence."

Everyone began to head to the cars.

Sam saw Traci grab the spare set of keys and head to Noelle's car. He therefore made a beeline to 1519. Oliver was in the driver's seat waiting for him.

As Oliver pulled away from the station, he glanced at his friend. Beneath the calm Sam was exuding, he could sense the fear. Of all of Sam's friends, he knew Sam best. Sam had completely hidden his emotions so he could think rationally. If he had to venture a guess, Sam was pretending that it wasn't Andy.

"Sammy" he said softly. He knew his tone had an edge of caring in it that would force Sam to express his fear.

"What if she's not okay?" Sam's face changed from calm to that of a man in great emotional pain.

"She's going to be fine. Andy's strong." He hesitated. "I'm more worried about that college girl."

Sam's head shot up. He had forgotten about the college girl even though Detective Islough had mentioned her earlier. He schooled his emotions. "Is Callaghan coming also?"

Oliver nodded. "He said he would be a few minutes. He has some people who owe him favors at Memorial. He was going to call and ask if they could send an ambulance with a doctor just in case."

Sam nodded. As much as he hoped Andy was okay, he knew that having an ambulance along with a doctor was important. Time was not on their side today and a doctor on site could mean the difference of life or death. "Okay." He leaned his head against the window, trying to steady his nerves.

Oliver sensed that Sam was warring with himself but knew there was nothing more to be said so he drove in silence.

As soon as they got to the warehouse, before Oliver even shifted to park, Sam was out of the car. Sam headed straight into the warehouse and made a beeline for the staircase that would take him up to the second floor. He had been on the team that had been called to the warehouse when Tommy McNally was Detective McNally from homicide.

Flashback

As they combed through the building, Sam had discovered a small crawl space on the second level. When he emerged on the other side, he was overlooking a small room that locked from the inside. Sam heard men from his unit trying to open the door and he had radioed in that they should not blast the door. He slid down a pole that ran from floor to ceiling and was easy to climb onto from his position. He had opened the door for the other men and although they had not found anything, he had a bad feeling about that room

End Flashback

He had a feeling that if Readago had Andy, they were in that room.

And a preview for the beginning of next chapter: Sam looked down at the scene before him and bit back a curse.
