Set after episode 7 season 2 'The One That Got Away'

Andy watched as Sam stormed away, feeling like she had just been slapped. She couldn't tell if he was angry at her, like really angry over what Andy had said, or if it was smoke from another fire entirely. She figured the ladder, knowing it wasn't her place to involve herself in whatever was going on inside Sam's head. In a way though, Andy thought it was only fair, as he invaded hers constantly. But Andy pushed the thought out of her mind. She was on the job, and right now she needed to find her partner.

'This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have left her. Why the heck did I leave her? Yeah, real good job, Sammy. She's probably calling up Callaghan right now. Forgiving him. I can't believe that idiot. He had her. No, not had. Has. He has her. He'll likely just defend himself with the night of the blackout. God, the night of the blackout…..' The thoughts filled Sam's head, only stopping when he heard sirens.

"Sam Swarek I am ordering you to stop! Turn around, and get into this car!" Andy yelled from the window, conveying no emotion whatsoever.
"Seriously, Andy? I told you, space." Sam retaliated.
"Yeah, and I told you that I'm not any good at giving space. Remember?" she finished, pulling up beside him.

"Yeah, I remember." Sam responded quietly.

"Good. Now get in, Sam. Please." Said Andy, swallowing her pride.

"Look, if I get in and you're still spewing crap about Callaghan's ideas for the case I'm getting right back out. "

"It's…it's not crap, Sam. Look, I know that you know that he and I are fighting right now, but it doesn't affect what he knows about the case. I'm not pursuing his idea because I think he's better than you, because being totally honest, I do not think he's better than you. I'm going with my gut here, Sam. Just trust me on this, please."

"I'm only doing this because I feel bad for you after Jo made you do a pizza run. " Sam grumbled.

"Sam, I don't care about the reason, just get in."

"Whatever." That word brought him back to when Oliver told him to talk to Andy about 'whatever'. That was the only moment when Sam had realized the only person he was fooling about his was Andy. The one person he cared most about hiding from. It made Sam wonder if Andy really meant that she would lie for him today, when she was talking to Nixon's living alibi. Would she lie for him….or would she lie to him? Was she doing the exact same thing he was? He knew that she would try to hide it, go with Golden Boy… in that moment; Sam realized what an idiot he'd been. He needed to talk to Andy. Really try to talkto her.

And he needed to do it now.
