HI ALL I AM HAVING REAL TROUBLE WRITING THE LAST CHAPTER OF I'M ALWAYS HERE MCNALLY SO JUST TO GIVE MYSELF A BREAK I CAME UP WITH THIS I PROMISE I WILL HAVE THE LAST CHAPTER OUT BY END OF WEEK FINGERS CROSSED. OH AND ANDY IS NOT WITH LUKE OR SAM IN THIS BUT WHO KNOWS BY THE END OF IT .?

Andy rushed into the station with her head down running head on into the last person she wanted to see. "Whoa McNally, hold up what's the rush you're not late yet" Sam said while steadying her by her shoulders. Andy sighed and looked up, Sam gasped. "Andy what the hell happened to you?" he asked placing his hands on her face examining the deep gash on the side of her forehead.

"Nothing Sam, I'm fine. I slipped getting out of the shower" she lied. "I forgot to put the mat back down and fell" Andy tried to cover it with her hair.

Sam didn't buy it at all. "So what did you fall on? coz the floor wouldn't do that." he looked at her with his you better tell me the truth look.

Andy began to panic 'shit I can't think of anything', she said nothing for a moment then "side of the unit under the sink" she blurted out.

Sam was getting annoyed now. "Did someone do this to you?" he clenched his fists. The thoughts of someone hurting her made him want to rip their heads off.

"No no Sam, I swear I fell okay. Can we leave it I have to change". Andy began to walk when Sam pulled her back.

"We can leave it for now McNally, but you know I wont forget about it, we will talk again." Sam stepped aside to let her head onto the locker rooms.

Andy relaxed a little once she got away from him, Sam was the one person she knew would react the worst if he knew what had happened the night before. She sunk into the bench in front of her locker 'what am I going to do?' she said to herself. Jumping at the sound of her name being called. Andy turned she hadn't notice Gail come in.

"Oh hey Gail sorry I was miles away."

"You looked it, are you ok? What happened to your head? You look tired" Gail replied pulling on her uniform.

"Yeah fine I slipped in the shower its fine, I didn't get much sleep last night, one of them days yesterday" Andy sighed.

Gail came and sat beside her "Andy, there was nothing else you could of done. That girl wouldn't have made it even if the paramedics had of gotten there sooner you did the best you could." Gail tried to reassure her.

"I know, but I can't help think if I had of did more or something different she might have survived."

"Andy you can't blame yourself for this. She was in there at her own will, she went into rob that old man. She was just unlucky that the guy had a gun .She attacked him so he had no choice." Gail stood "we have to get to parade, you better finish changing I'll see you out there."

Andy watched Gail go and got herself ready. She headed to parade and couldn't help but take her usual glance at Sam but today he was watching her . Andy gave him a weak smile and took a seat beside Traci just as Best entered the room. Assignments handed out, she wasn't surprised to be with Sam but that's when the questions would start.

After a couple hours of driving around in silence Sam couldn't take it anymore. He had to get some answers. "Andy are you going to tell me what really happened?" He glanced at her before looking back to the road he had noticed her tense up, something was definitely not right.

"I already told you Sam I fell." Andy replied calmly though her mind was yelling at her to tell him the truth.

Sam slammed on the brakes causing the car behind to jam on and beep. He waited until the driver passed and turned to her. "Andy you did not fall I know you're lying. why can't you just tell me?"

Andy was getting mad now "look Sam!" she yelled "I told you I fell now leave it at that." Andy turned to face out the window ending the conversation.

Sam sighed "okay fine but Andy you know you can tell me anything. I am here for you no matter what, anytime day or night."

Andy's heart sank, she really wanted to tell him. She needed him but was afraid of him getting hurt if he found out. Andy smiled at him. "Thanks Sam I know you are" she faced the window again.

Sam was beginning to worry he needed to get to the bottom of this his feelings ran very deep for her he knew her inside out, she was keeping something from him. 'I'll drive her home later and try again' he said to himself.

Lunch had approached Sam had let Andy choose where to eat. Seated in a booth they began small talk while waiting on the waiter to come over few minutes later orders given they went back to chatting eating their food.

"You going the Penny tonight?" Sam asked her.

"I think I'm going for one with Traci, are you? Andy replied hoping he said yes.

"Yeah Jerry ask me earlier I can give you a ride home if you want."

"I know they will leave together, yeah thanks Sam that would be great." Andy smiled and looked away, she paled and her eyes widened as she looked at the man sitting at the counter watching her grinning. She jumped up startling Sam "I.. I need the rest room back in a tick" she practically ran from the table and into the cubical. "Shit shit he's following me now" Andy was beginning to panic she herd the door open and she flushed the toilet even though she hadn't used it and headed out to the sink.

Andy hadn't even notice the man come beside her "So" he started causing her to jump and spin around "keeping your word that is good, that guy out there is he your boyfriend?" Andy shook her head she couldn't speak. "Good so you will be alone tonight I might drop in for another visit" he reached out to stroke her face but pulled her head back instead. "You took something away from me were are far from even" he growled at her.

"I.. I don't know what you mean" Andy stuttered she was terrified.

"You know what you did, you let her die. I loved her and you let her die you deserve to join her" he yelled and stormed out adding "I'll see you at home later officer McNally."

Andy stood in shock for a moment composed herself and headed back to Sam. Sam took one look at her "Andy what's wrong?" he asked placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Nothing I am fine just a headache" she lied "can we go?"

"Sure, you need anything? I have stuff in the car" Sam asked her a worried look on his face.

"I'll be fine its passing" Andy said as he held the door open for her. She took one last look at the man who mouthed see you later her blood ran cold and she hurried to the car.

End of shift had finally come Andy went to meet Traci to find a note on her locker I finished early so meet you there went home first, Traci . Andy got showered and changed headed outside of the locker room to see Sam leaning against the wall he pushed himself up when he seen her come out.

"You been dumped too?" He smiled.

"What?" Andy asked.

"I had a note from Jerry in my locker. He had to go off he'll meet me there." Sam held up the piece of paper.

Andy laughed and held up hers "yeah I got dumped too. Two guesses what they're doing. You wanna be my date then?" Andy realized what she just said before she said anything else Sam replied sure and led her out to his truck. A small grin on his face.

The Penny was crowded for a Thursday night, Sam pulled Andy by the hand to a table in the corner instead of the normal seats at the bar or the rookie table which occupied Chris Dov and Gail. Oliver and Noelle were at the bar. Sam told Andy he'd get the drinks, just as he headed to the bar he herd Andy gasp and say no. He looked back to see her eyes were set on someone near the end of the bar this guy was sitting staring at her. Sam was angry now but tried to push it back she was not his to act like that but still. He ordered drinks and headed back to Andy she was looking at the floor lost In thought. Sam looked back at the man he was still watching her so Sam pulled his chair closer to Andy's and placed himself in front of her so the man could no longer look at her.

"Andy, you want to join the rooks or are you okay here with me?" Sam could sense she was uncomfortable he wasn't sure if it was being on her own with him or if that guy was making her uneasy.

"No Sam I'm good why did you want to go sit with Oliver and Noelle? coz I will if you wanted to." Andy tried to smile. He would be driving her home soon she hated to think what was going to happen when she got there.

"No I'm fine where I am you just don't seem to be enjoying yourself Jerry and Nash don't look like they're gunna make it.

"It's not that Sam I'm enjoying being here with you that guy is just freaking me out." Andy mentally kicked herself 'why did you say that Andy?' She said to herself.

Sam leaned into her "just go with me okay" she frowned but nodded her head anyway. Sam pulled her to him and wrapped an arm over her shoulder kissing her on the forehead. "You want me to go have a word with him?." He really wanted to punch the guy in the face.

Andy wasn't listening she melted as soon as he touched her. she had jus caught the end of it. She rested her head on his shoulder "nah he'll get the hint. I hope" she added under her breath so Sam wouldn't hear or so she thought anyway.

An hour later Andy yawned they were still seated in the same position Sam finished the last of his drink "you want to go now?" He asked her.

"Yeah sure" Andy pulled herself away from him and missed the feel of him against her.

Andy stood as did Sam he pulled her to him and led her back out to his truck away from the man. Once outside Andy expected Sam to let her go she smiled to herself when he didn't until they got to his truck. Sam helped her in and climbed in beside her Andy paled as the man waved and got into his car Sam hadn't noticed.

Ten minutes later they were outside Andy's apartment block Sam went to take off his seatbelt "I'm fine Sam I can run up on my own" Andy said taking off her own belt.

"Are you sure McNally?" I don't mind I'd rather know you're safe inside. Sam replied.

Andy leaned in and kissed him on the cheek although she wanted to do more. "Thank you Sam for a great night. I will be fine, you can wait until I turn my light on if it makes you feel better."

"Okay I'll wait here then until you're inside. Goodnight McNally" Sam said smiling at her he so wanted to lean over and kiss her.

"Night Sam, see you in the morning." Andy said climbing out. She closed the door smiled and waved turning and hurrying up to the entrance taking a quick look to see if the man or car were anywhere insight. Andy climbed the stairs two at a time she opened the door, flipped on the lights and her mouth fell open.

Sam had just pulled away he seen her lights go on and smiled she was safe inside he was about three doors from Andy's when his phone rang he pulled it out and smiled it was Andy "you forge…." He was cut off by a hysterical Andy.

"S.. Sam can you come back" she sobbed into the phone.

Sam slammed on his brakes and did a rough u turn "Andy what's the matter? I'm here"

"My apartment is ransacked someone has been in here" Andy sniffed down the phone.

"Andy I am coming to the entrance just stay on the phone to me okay." Sam jumped out of his truck and ran up to the Entrance got the code from Andy and ran up the stairs she was standing at her door shaking and quietly crying "Andy" Sam said softly .

Andy relaxed as she herd his voice she turned and automatically went into his arms burying her head in his chest. "I haven't went inside yet Sam the place is a mess."

"You want me to check it out first?" Sam asked her she nodded into him he gently released her and told her to wait outside as he entered her apartment. Andy's belongings were everywhere, furniture turned over and some even broken. Sam went further in and stopped dead in his tracks, on the mirror was a note which read. you took something I love so I will take something you love officer McNally You're life Nicole Dooley remember her name . "Andy!" Sam yelled running back to the door and into the hallway. He sighed in relief when he seen her . Sam walked the few steps to her and pulled her into a hug. "oh thank god Andy, why didn't you tell me about this?" Sam asked holding out the note.

"I don't know Sam" Andy said while pulling him closer I was so scared, I thought of you first last night. I went to call you so many times but I was afraid of what you'd say so I kept it to myself.

"Andy, you knew I would of come, you should of called me the second it happened. I'm only five minutes away. We need to call it in."

"No Sam no please! just between us I don't want a fuss plus I have to stay here tonight." Andy mumbled.

"You really think I am letting you stay here tonight, not a chance Andy. We're calling it in, it is a threat against your life. You're staying with me until this is all over. We need to get people out here to lift finger prints get a name. Sam pulled out his phone and was in the middle of dialling the station number when Andy called him.

"Sam" Andy said slowly he looked at her "I.. I know his name and what he looks like."

Something dawned on Sam. "was it that guy in the Penny and the diner ?"

"How did you know about the diner?" Andy asked shocked he had noticed and not said a word.

"Andy, you nearly flipped the table. I seen you look at him and he was looking at you I didn't like it. I watched him follow you into the toilet, I was just coming to check on you when he came out and back to his table" Sam said holding the phone up to his ear while on the phone not once did he take his eyes off her.
