Chapter 17!

Rookie Blue and its original concepts do not belong to me.

Enjoy!

She leaned in to bring her lips so close to my ear that I could feel them.

"Because I—"

She didn't get to finish because another voice interrupted us.

"Sam?"

I turned around with Jennifer still on me.

Shit. Nash.

The look on Nash's face said a whole lot.

She looked surprised and disgusted at the same time.

Funny, that's exactly how I was feeling just now as well.

"Um, I thought you were... I mean... I um..." she began to stutter, not managing to get out a full sentence.

I was sure that my mouth was hanging open, and I forced myself to snap it shut.

"Hey Traci, did you tell Sam—" Jerry was saying as he came up behind Nash, but he stopped once he came across the spectacle before him.

He didn't say anything, but he did raise an eyebrow at me with an unspoken question.

I realized that we all looked pretty comical right now.

What with Callaghan standing there with his face still pink, Traci staring at me like I had grown two heads, Jerry looking pointedly at me, and of course, myself standing pressed up against a wall with Jennifer right up against me.

Having everyone staring at me was not what I wanted right now, so I attempted to cause some sort of a distraction.

"Um... I was just... uh... making a phone call?" I finished lamely, the sentence sounding more like a question than a statement.

That seemed to have snapped Nash out of her momentarily stunned faze, because the expression that took over her face now was one of pure disgust.

"Yea, of course you were," she sneered clearly not believing my explanation.

"Well Dr. Reinfrew was just with us," she began.

What? How did I not notice him walk by?

"And he just came by to tell us that Andy is in her room now."

She was? I wanted to go see her as soon as possible, but apparently Nash wasn't finished talking because she kept going in a voice of pure venom.

"Not that you would care," she snarled while shooting a withering glare at Jennifer who had all the gall to grin right back at her.

"You seem to have found a way to occupy yourself," she finished while looking pointedly at Jennifer who seem to press herself to me even more.

With that said, Nash turned on her heel and stalked back into the waiting room before I had a chance to even come up with something to say.

I turned pleading eyes to Jerry, his expression looked questioning, but he got the message none the less.

"Uh... Sam can I talk to you for a second?" he asked and I almost wept with joy at the escape he just gave me.

"Uh, yea sure," I said hurriedly and began to pull my arms from Jennifer's grip.

For a small person, she had a solid grip and it took me an effort to peel her hands off of me without hurting her.

Once I did get her hands off of me however, she pressed her body up to me and turned her big blue eye up to mine with a pout on her lips.

"But Sammy," she crooned, "I got out of work to come see you." She finished, her pout becoming more prominent on her small face.

I looked over her head and locked eyes with Jerry to see that he was fake gagging and I worked to keep the grin that threatened to break out in check.

"Well, I gotta talk to Jerry about something important," I said trying not to show the smugness I was feeling in my voice while I kept my eyes on Jerry's.

He however didn't have to hide the grin that was breaking out on his face.

I turned my eyes back down to Jennifer when she slid her hands down my chest to right over the top of my jeans.

Holy crap!

I had to get away from her and fast. I was harbouring fears that if I didn't, she would be shameless enough to go even further.

I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her firmly away, not being too gentle about it.

Once she wasn't touching me anymore, I made my quick escape to Jerry's side and released an audible sigh.

"Come back to me quick," her voice called from behind, and that was all I needed to start speed walking hoping to god that Jerry was following.

A quick look over my shoulder told me that he was indeed following, looking at the ground and shaking his head, the grin still in place on his face.

The look also showed me that Jennifer was now advancing on a very smug looking Callaghan. I turned my head in disgust.

Without knowing it, I realized that I had brought us to the elevators.

I turned around to see Jerry looking at me with a very amused look on his face.

"Do you wanna explain to me how you got in that very interesting position with the very person you were so set on avoiding?"

I grimaced at his comment.

"Man, what can I say, she wants me." At that, Jerry broke out into fits of laughter.

The elevator also happened to open and we walked in with Jerry still laughing.

I fixed him with a scathing stare.

"I'm serious. I'm half afraid that she's going to jump me in the hallways." That seemed to only make Jerry laugh even harder as he leaned on the side of the elevator to hold himself up.

Neither of us pressed a number so the elevator stayed idly on the second floor.

Finally Jerry stood up and wiped the corner of his eye and leaned over to press the button to the 5th floor.

"Are you done now?" I asked in a dry tone.

He cracked a smile. "God Swarek, you crack me up."

"Ha ha ha," I commented not amused. "I bet."

Jerry took a deep breath.

"But seriously," he started.

"What happened back there?"

I sighed.

"I went out in the hall to call Boyko and before I could, Callaghan showed up."

Jerry nodded his head knowingly as if that explained everything.

"Yea, well then he started talking about how he had a right to know what happened and how I was jealous of him and Andy and all this other shit."

Jerry looked sympathetically at me, and that's what made this next part make me feel better.

"So I shoved him up against a wall and choked him until his face turned purple," I said, a grin spreading on my face.

A mirroring grin spread on Jerry's face and he clapped my back as we exited the elevator.

"Alright, Sammy boy!" he commented.

"Yea, I figured it was my civic duty to put him in his place." I said then after a pause I added, "Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you to Andy's room," he said and began to walk off.

"Um ok," I said then followed after him.

We eventually came to a door that said 22C on the front. The name slot beside it said 'Andy McNally'.

Jerry stopped at the door.

"Go ahead," he told me.

I looked at him again and then turned the door knob and walked into the room.

And there on the single bed in the room was Andy.

I walked up to the head of the bed and looked down at her face.

She looked so peaceful, like she was sleeping.

After a seconds' hesitation, I leaned over and rested my forehead on hers, and my eyes closed.

"Oh Andy," I whispered. "Come back soon."

Hope you liked it!
