Here is another chapter. I hope you guys like it.
Thank you again to Jelly Bean Jenna.
"Nat, I'm free!" Ann said in excitement. "Now I'm going to get you free and we can get out of here."
"No, I'm too weak right now. You need to run and get away." Andy said in a very weak voice. She was tired. She pretty sure she might have a concussion.
Besides the headache, she was queasy, so that was probably a sign.
"I'm not leaving you here."
"You're going to run. And go to division Fifteen. Ask for Detective Sam Swarek. He will help you to get me out of here okay?"
"I don't want to leave you. Dakota will get mad."
"Then let him because as soon as you get Sam back her, Dakota will be dead. Now go before he comes back."
Andy was pleading, she was too weak to make a run for it, and Ann was her only hope of Sam finding her.
"Okay I'll be back." With that Ann ran.
Once she was outside she saw that she was downtown Toronto not far from where Nat had explained Fifteen was. So she ran, a silent prayer for Nat's safety as she fled, leaving her behind.
"Sam, what was I supposed to do? He took my girl." Boyd told Sam flatly.
"Ask for help. You used to be a cop, so you should know to ask for help with something like this."
Sam yelled back.
"Help? What would they do? No one trusts me anymore."
Boyd let the words out on a dry laugh.
"And whose fault is that?"
"I'm sorry it was a long time ago. I just didn't think that anyone would help me. Or even listen".
"So you help a criminal. Not only did you give him information about Andy but you told him that 'Crystal' was a UC cop."
Sam's voice held a dangerous tone, Boyd cringing in response to the accusation.
"I thought I could get Ann back, okay. I was only thinking about her!"
Sam really couldn't hate him for trying to get Ann back. He would do whatever it takes to get Andy back.
"Okay so you're going to tell me everything you told him so we can find them."
Boyd was fixing to answer, his mouth opening to reply, but there was a knock on the door then it opened. "Detective Swarek?"
"I'm busy." He told the rookie.
"I'm sorry Sir. There is a woman at the front desk asking for you. She won't talk to anyone but you."
"Tell her…"
"Sir I think you should really come, she won't leave until she talks to you."
Sam sighed heavily looking at Boyd "I'll be back." He got up to go see who wanted so desperately to talk to him.
He walked to the front and could see a woman pacing like she was worried about something. "Hi I'm Detective Swarek. How can I help you?"
Ann stopped pacing and looked at him. "Sam…Sam Swarek?"
Sam looked at her confused, "Yeah that's me. How can I help you today? I'm kind of busy."
"I'm Ann." She simply said not knowing really what to say.
Sam had to think for a minute of who Ann was. When he figured it out his eyes went wide. "You're free? Whe..Where's An… Natalie?"
"Still there... but she sent me to you. So you can find her."
"Come on." Sam led her back to the interrogation room that Boyd was still waiting in.
They could both help him find Andy.
Nick had just finished telling Gail about his eventful day. She was pissed for a moment but it was for Andy's sake. His phone rang and he was pretty sure it was Dakota.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"So Ann escaped and Nat here is going to pay the price. You have less than two hours or she will die." And the phone went dead.
"Damn it!" Nick yelled.
"Nick!" Gail looked at him in shock.
"I'm sorry babe but I got to go." Nick left the room quickly.
He pulled out his phone again and called Sam.
Sam answered the phone. "Sam, Dakota just called me."
"What'd he say?"
"Ann escaped. Now Andy is going to pay the price we have less than two hours."
"Get to the barn now."
"On the way."
"Please I..I don't know wh…where she is." Andy said between sobs.
" I don't believe you." Dakota said putting a hot iron on her thigh, the smell of burning flesh making her stomach churn.
She screamed again. "I…I…I haven't s…seen her…her since t..th..the bust."
"Well I guess you better hope your Officer hurries or you're dead."
"We know where she is why can't we just save her?" Boyd asked.
Sam, Luke, Marlo, Nick, Ann and Boyd are all now in the parade room, their brains mashing together to find a solution to get Andy out safely.
"Because he will be expecting that." Ann told him.
"Have we figured out anything on Crystal's whereabouts yet?" Nick asked.
"She was shot and killed a year ago on duty." Marlo said.
"That's not going to help." Sam said. The final hopes of giving Dakota what he wanted floating away on a death certificate.
"I know but it's the truth." Luke said looking at the map on the board.
Sam went to say something but his phone rang. He didn't know the number, but he had a gut feeling it had to be Dakota.
"Swarek," He answered the phone.
"This is her last wish…" Dakota said. He put the phone up to Andy's ear. "Sam?"
Sam gasped at the weak voice that used to be filled with happiness.
"I'm close to saving you."
"It's too late Sam."
"No don't you dare give up on me."
"I love you and…and we would have made amazing parents."
Just as she said that, Sam's heart broke.
Into a million pieces.
"Andy just hold on a little longer okay. For me. For us."
"Sam,"
Frank just walked into the room and handed everything he could get his hands on about 'Crystal' to Luke. Luke motioned for Sam to come look.
It was everything they needed.
"Andy I need to talk to Dakota."
Andy pulled her face away from the phone unwillingly, telling Dakota the call was for him.
"You're running out of time." He said when he put the phone back to his ear.
"Just tell me where to meet you and I'll come. Tell me what to bring to show you we've played your game."
"Crystal and the leak."
"Where?"
"Ask Ann where it is." And he hung up.
Every eye in the room was on him.
"He wants me the bring the leak," he said looking at Boyd. "And Crystal."
"I'll do it man. It's the least I can do for you." Boyd said locking eyes with him.
"But what do we do about Crystal? I mean she dead there is no way we can bring her. Except for the photos."
""It will have to work. Hopefully we can take him down before he hurts Andy."
"Ann where did you come from. That's where we are going."
Ann told them. Boyd and Sam grabbed the photos from the file, and headed that way along with Nick.
Hopefully they could take Dakota down before Andy could get more hurt than what she already was.
Tell me what you think. Any ideas? Let me know!
BTW don't worry only one person is going to die but some will be injured (with what I have planned)
