ANDY

He was back at work. Fortunately and unfortunately at the same time he remembered their current case well. A group of robbers was preying on elderly people having already killed 4 people in the process including his partners parents-in-law. He wished he would have been sent back earlier to prevent it from happening all together but all he could do now was help move the investigation forward a bit quicker by some well placed occasional hints. Andy was happy to see his old partner again, they´d always worked well together until Spence transferred to Arizona where his wife had gotten a lucrative job. His Captain had congratulated him on solving the case so quickly but Andy couldn`t really get much joy out of it. Technically he knew exactly who would commit which crime in the future but what was he supposed to do? He couldn`t just arrest people for reasons of precaution, because he had a hunch but could he live with knowingly letting people die? He was in desperate need of a drink. He was in desperate need of a meeting but where? It´s not like he could get out his phone and check on the internet. He had not needed a one in quite a while now, not since things had progressed with Sharon. Sharon, that was it, he needed to find her, she would know what to do, what to say. In his desperate urge to see her, he momentarily neglected the fact that she probably had no clue who he was! He vaguely remembered her telling him that she had started working in FID in 83 when Emily was 2! He wondered briefly why he hadn`t come across her until 5 years later… In fact he had to look up the Force Investigation Division on the building directory for from what he could remember the "rat squad" had always come to see him in his department since he refused to set foot on their territory. They would surely mock the crap out of him but right now that was the least of his concerns. He decided to walk up the three floors hoping to think of a plausible story to tell her but nothing would come to mind. Andy looked at his watch, it was already 5:30 pm and suddenly he wasn`t very hopeful that she would still be there. The corridors were pretty much deserted and only two or three offices were still lit. He wandered around a little until he heard a familiar voice through the half open door of one of them. "Well, I´m sorry that we pose such an inconvenience to you Jack….don´t you dare tell me to calm down, it´s your daughters birthday for God´s sake and I´m tired of coming up with excuses for you, tell me, how much of you is the new baby going to see? ….Never mind, I´ll manage cause I don`t have a choice!" The phone was slammed down and he heard quiet sobbing. He clenched his fists and practically burst into the room causing Sharon to jump to her feet. "Who are you?" Her voice sounded slightly panicked . Andy was left speechless for a moment, overwhelmed by the sight of her: her hair was darker and she wasn`t wearing glasses, her face was fuller and despite the upsetting phone call she seemed to be glowing from the inside which probably had something to do with her very obvious baby belly. "Sergeant Flynn?" His name pulled him out of his reverie. "Uhm, you know who I am?" Her expression softened and she let out a tiny snort: "I don`t think there is a single person in this division who hasn`t heard of you! As matter of fact we use your file to train our rookies! What a pleasure to finally meet the man behind that file! Sergeant Sharon Raydor!" She held out her hand for him to shake. He took it, still staring at her blatantly. "Whatever brings you up here?" There we go, Andy thought. "Your file lists you as rather outspoken. It obviously needs updating!" She smirked. "I , uhm, I was just, uhm, you know…." Her emerald eyes were glistening with amusement and she raised her eyebrows. " It uhm was a stupid bet really! My partner is convinced that I can`t manage to get in and out of here without being sent to an anger management or sensitivity training!" He was confident that it sounded silly enough to be believable! "Mhhh, what makes you think that I won`t prove him right?" "I´ll buy you coffee!" He gave her his most charming smile. "I don´t even know you!" "You´ve read my file, you probably know me better than I know myself!" Now she was all smiles. "That had better be amazing coffee!"
