A/N: Mini chapter. Couldnt sleep, woke up early and decided to surprise you guys!

~ Shamelessly stole Andys line from the show. I'm sure you will all spot it.

It was a long day out at North Park interviewing potential witnesses. They canvassed the businesses in the area, walked the park a thousand times. Andy went for sandwiches but Sam remained in the park. When she brought lunch back he barely ate any of it before tossing it into the trash. He didn't talk between interviews and Andy used all her will power to keep form asking him questions. She took notes during the interviews, kept her hands busy to stop herself from reaching out to him. His voice was cold and hard and she could see himself trying to switch everything off so he could cope.

By the time they made it back to the barn he was walking slowly, his eyes were dark and red and a frown was rooted on his brow. He walked up to the coffee station and started to prepare two cups. Andy leaned back on the desk beside him and crossed her arms over her chest. Wordlessly he handed her a cup and she took it with a small smile.

"So that was a day." He took the seat by the desk she was leaning on and let out a long breath.

"Yeah," was all she trusted herself to say. She wanted to take his hand, show him she was here but he had been keeping her at a careful distance all day and she wanted him to be the one to break it.

"I should go talk to Jerry," he said after a moments silence and slowly he got out of the chair.

"I'm going to go shower and change."

"Do you, eh, do you wanna grab some food after?"

"Oh…I can't, I made plans." She said and he half smiled. "But I can change them, I was just meeting some friends for dinner. You could come."

"No, thanks. That's ok. You don't need to change your plans." He started to back away.

"Sam wait, its just dinner…how about we meet for a drink after?"

"Okay, sounds good. Call me when you are done."

He turned and walked off to talk to Jerry leaving Andy cursing her plans. She was still watching him walk away when Traci came up behind her.

"So…how was your day?"

"Exhausting." She sank into the chair that Sam just vacated. "We talked to about a hundred people, nobody saw or heard anything."

"How is Sam?"

"Quiet."

"How are you?"

"I dunno." Andy rubbed her face with her hands. "I'm just…"

"Look Andy I know you guys have a back and forth thing going on-"

"We hooked up." She looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was nearby to overhear. Traci stared at her with her mouth agape.

"What? When? No wait…" then Traci took her hand and pulled her with her into the ladies locker room. "Now…tell me everything!"

"Last night. After the penny. We went back to mine."

"You slept with him?"

"Well, we didn't sleep…"

"Oh my god, what was it like?"

"Heavenly." She sighed the word more than spoke it and Traci smiled. "But wait after wards I tried to get him to talk to me."

"Oh Andy!" Traci covered her mouth to hide a laugh. "What were you thinking!"

"I just…I'm worried about him Trace."

"I know." She rubbed her friends arm. "So what now?"

"Oh this is the part where you hit me…"

"What did you do?"

"You know how I made dinner plan for tonight with Neil?"

"Yeah."

"When we made it back to the barn this evening Sam asked me to join him for dinner."

"Andy, you have this uncanny ability to continuously shoot yourself in the foot."

"I know, I'm an idiot!" She covered her face with her hands.

"Break the plans with neil! Go to Sam!"

"I offered, he told me to go."

"Of course he did!"

"I'm going to call him later though. Meet him for a drink."

Traci shook her head at her friend. "Good luck with that Andy." She patted her friend on the back and went back out to the bullpen. Andy let out a sigh and started to undress.

"God dammit." She said to no one as she went into the showers.

Sam sat on the corner of Jerry's desk. Jerry talked about the case. How the BOLO had brought in a few leads, he and interviewed two potential witnesses as well as the girl who was attacked. CCTV footage had brought in a few more leads but it was all taking time. Jerry's hair, that was normally so tidy was tousled, his shirt was wrinkled the sleeves folded up to his elbows. Sam listened to his interview stories and felt tension building up his back and across his shoulders. He rolled his head round on his neck and tried not to let it get to him.

"Sammy…" Jerry looked up to his friend. "We'll get them."

"I know." Sam nodded. Then he spotted Andy stepping out of the locker room. She was wearing a tight pair of black jeans and knee high boots. She had on a blue top with spaghetti straps and low cut line that showed the top curve of her breasts. Her hair was mostly down, but she had the sides clipped up to keep it out of her face. She had her coat and phone in her hands and was reading something on the screen as she walked towards the door.

Jerry watched Sam watching her and smiled. "You're going to let her go out to dinner with another man dressed like that?"

"What? No, well no it's nothing to do with me."

"Yeah right." Jerry stood and shoved Sam off his desk then went over to the coffee station where Traci was making him a drink. Sam used the propulsion from Jerry's shove to move him across the room. He caught her leaving through the back door and called out to her. She turned and smiled when she saw him half jogging towards her.

"Hey." She said.

"So your dinner…" he let his eyes fall slowly over her curves and he remembered instantly the sight of her leaning back on the counter, her breasts bouncing before his eyes, then against his lips.

"Yeah, I'm just going to meet Neil now."

"Oh it's your high school buddy."

"Yeah, but it's just dinner. Catching up ya know."

"Yeah, yeah, of course." Sam struggled to think of what it was he was going to say.

"Everything ok Sam?"

"Ah dammit, McNally." He took her shoulders and pushed her against the wall and kissed her, mimicking the kiss from the previous night, his body holding hers in place, one hand buried into her hair the other squeezing her waist, two fingers sliding under her top to touch her hot burning skin. When her mouth opened he slipped in his tongue and caressed the inside of her mouth in slow wet circles. When he released her lips he didn't pull his body away. Instead he stayed leaning against her, panting slowly and kept her pinned to the wall for a moment more. Finally he pulled away she stepped away from the wall and dusted down the front of her top. He smiled as her tongue came out to lick her lips. "Sorry…couldn't help it."

She laughed and reached out a hand to place on his chest. He covered it with his own.

"I don't have to go to dinner Sam."

"Go." He said. "Have dinner, catch up. I'm so tired anyway. I'm going home to crash."

"Okay." She was reluctant to leave. He was reluctant to let her go. She trailed her hand down his chest as she started to walk off. He held onto her hand for as long as he could reach then smiled as she let her hand drop behind her and smack her own butt. He let a laugh out when she winked and walked away with more swagger than usual.
