Ugh, what a crappy episode… It was good, but depressing. I bet my best friend, who like invented happiness, would be so depressed if she saw this…

I'm not going to do the most obvious one, 'cause that's too depressing. I don't really like Luke with Andy, but I bet none of us want him to die.

So this is the next one: What if Sam and Jo would talk.

Btw, did that guy also remind you of the one from the Grey's Anatomy season 6 finale? "Are you a surgeon?" "Yes, can I help you?" 'BAM! shoot…'

Anyway, read, enjoy, review.

'What and if, two words as nonthreatening as words come. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if..?'

- Letters to Juliet –

Sam didn't like hospitals. All those weird bleeping machines and those just-on-the-edge-of-autistic doctors. And not to mention all the sick people. No, hospitals weren't his thing. Waiting rooms were even less his thing. He knew how this would go. They would spend the next few hours sitting and waiting for the doctors who would only tell them what they already knew, his condition was critical. For Gods sake, the guy was shut in his stomach twice, there was blood coming out of his mouth, yeah his condition was critical. He didn't like Luke Callaghan, but he certainly didn't want him to die because some stupid kid was off his meds.

He thought about what'd happened a few hours ago. Had he been there for Andy? He knew he'd done everything he could do. Andy needed him to be strong. For her fiancé. Ugh, he hated that thought. When he heard this morning he tried to keep it cool, and congratulate Andy, but in fact, he could actually jump off a cliff. Not that he would ever do that. He would go to Guns 'n Gangs. Undercover. Away from Andy. Away from his pain.

He needed coffee. So bad.

"You want some coffee?" he asked detective Rosati. She nodded. Her eyes were still filled with tears. He tried to imagine how it would be for her, but he couldn't. The only way he would feel like she was feeling right now was if Andy would be in there. He couldn't imagine that. If Andy would have been home… he couldn't even finish that sentence, not even in his mind.

He went to get coffee. He didn't know how Jo wanted her coffee, so he just went for a cappuccino and grabbed some milk and sugar. He sat next to her again and gave her the coffee.

"I didn't know what you liked, so it's just a cappuccino." He said.

"It's okay, I like it that way." She answered. She took a sip and immediately shouted "Ouch! It's hot."

"Yeah, it appears coffee is hot." Sam said. She laughed.

"Thank you." Jo said.

"You're welcome. For what exactly?"

"Making me laugh. I needed that."

"Sure. You were the one who burned her tongue." Sam took a sip of his coffee and looked in the direction Andy had gone about half an hour ago.

"You love her, don't you?" Jo asked. Sam would never admit it, but this wasn't the right time and place to deny things.

"Yeah. And you still love him." It wasn't a question, more a conclusion. She nodded.

"She's wearing my ring." Jo said, hesitating to open herself up to this guy she didn't even know this long, but as far as she knew, he was in the same boat. "She found it."

"Really? Wait, you aren't… you can't do that to Andy!"

"No, I mean. It used to be my ring. No actually not, it should have been my ring. I said no."

"But you regret it."

"The most I've ever regretted something. I wanted other things. I wanted to build on my carrier first. I wanted to be free. I know it sounds stupid."

"No, it doesn't. You weren't ready. But now you are. And she's engaged." Sam was talking about himself now. His eyes went unreadable as he spoke.

"You never thought you would ever feel this way about someone," Jo filled in, "but there he is and he makes you do things you never thought you would ever do. He gets the worst out of you." Sam looked at Jo. This woman was somehow reading his mind. Jo blinked a few times, and it was like she came back to herself again. So did Sam.

"So, are you going to Guns 'n Gangs?" she asked him.

"Still undecided. Depends."

"Depends on?"

"Andy." She nodded.

"If there's any chance they're going to break up you want to be there."

Sam nodded. "Join the club." Rosati said.

"Does it have staff drinks?" Sam asked.

"Not now… I want to be there… when he…" she sighed, "if he… you know."

Sam nodded. He just wanted to go take a nap when his phone rang. He looked at the display; work. Yeah, he couldn't really get a way out of this.

"Swarek."

"Hey buddy." It was Jerry. That made it a bit better. "How's Luke?"

"I don't really know. We don't get a lot of information. They got the bullets out, but his condition is critical. Andy's with him."

"Oh my God. I still don't get how this could happen."

"No one does, Jerry."

"Yeah… Well, I called because that Guns 'n Gangs guy's here. I told him where you are and why, but he wants an answer now. Dude has no respect at all!"

"What?" Sam had to choose now? He couldn't be serious. He looked at the door Andy had gone into. He just wanted to be away from all this, but he couldn't leave her like this. He couldn't leave. He sighed, looked at Jo this time and said.

"Tell him I'm not doing it, Jerry. I can't."

"Sam, are you sure? You've always wanted this."

He looked at the door again. "Yes, I'm sure. I want other things now."

"Okay, so I just tell him you don't want it anymore?"

"I still want it, it's just not my number one priority anymore."

He heard Jerry sigh on the other side. "Okay, if that's what you want I'll tell him. He's not going to like it…"

"Thanks."

"Sure, see ya."

"Bye."

"Did you just reject the offer to go to Guns 'n Gangs?" Jo asked.

"Yeah," he looked her in the eyes, "as much as I want to, I can't leave right now."

So, I hope you liked it. This was the best I could come up with, since I didn't want to do: What if no one would have found Luke... Ugh :(
So please review, 'cause reviews give me the power to write more ;)
Love you ^_^

Oh, and btw, I'm very sorry to tell you, but I'm going on vacation Friday, for two weeks, so there won't be any updates for the next two episodes until I'm back. I feel so bad, it feels like I'm abandoning you guys... Maybe I'll start with season 1 before I leave, I know it's a weird order, first episode 2 and three of season 2 and then season 1, but I need to write something...
