Welcome Home Pt 1

Parade room

Frank: We need all hands on deck for this, all available personnel will report to the warehouse at 9pm tonight. We cannot afford any screw ups, 6 months of hard work has been put into this operation and everything has to go perfectly understood? Good. Dismissed

Sam is waiting outside the parade room.

Sam: Boss, I want in on this.

Frank: Sam, I know you do but you have plenty of work to do in the D's office. We've got this covered.

Sam: Frank, I need to do this, I need to be there. 6 Months ago I went to you and asked you to tell me where she was. When you wouldn't tell me I talked to every contact I have. Everyone shut me out. I know you were behind it,and as pissed off as I was I backed off, I ONLY did that because I did not want to put Andy's in any more danger than it already was, but I am not backing off this time, Frank. You owe me this one.

Frank: The truth is I could use your experience but only if you remember that the orders come from me. I don't want to see any of that rogue Swarek crap you love so much. Understood?

Sam: Understood.

Frank: Fine. You will ride with Oliver. See you at 9.

Cover apartment:

Nick: You ready for this?

Andy: Ready as I'll ever be. You?

Nick: This, I am ready for. It is what happens after this that I am nervous about.

Andy: Meaning?

Nick: We have spent the last 6 months together. I like to think I know you a little better than that. You have not been able to get Swarek out of your mind this whole time. And I have not stopped thinking about Gail. I just hope they understand when we get back. Hopefully, Gail is having too much fun in Paris to notice.

Andy: I am sure Gail will understand, but Sam and I are over. It didn't work out for us, I have moved on.

Nick: You have?

Andy: Well, I am thinking about moving on. I mean, I will as soon as we get back. I have been kind of busy if you haven't noticed.

Nick: So you are telling me, that you, are not at all concerned about coming face to face with Swarek at all? Remember, you are talking to your break up buddy.

Andy: He ended it with me. He left.

Nick: Then you left.

Andy: How's Gail?

Nick: Point taken.

Andy: It's time, we have to go.

Squad Car

Oliver: How are you doing brother, you ready for this?

Sam: Yeah, of course.

Oliver: Uh huh so when this is all done what are you going to say to her?

Sam: Oliver, I know where you are going with this but right now all I am thinking about it is arresting these guys w/o anyone getting hurt.

Oliver: Yeah, me too brother, me too. All I am saying is, when this is all done you need to talk to her.

Sam: Oliver, worry about your wife please, and let's get to work.

Warehouse

Andy and Nick are waiting for a meeting with Mike Shea. Mike is currently running a drug trafficking ring in Toronto and Andy and Nick have been working for him for the past 6 months gathering information to arrest him and his entire organization. He has a massive heroine shipment coming in at 10pm and 15 division will be ready and waiting to make the arrests with 27 division is on standby incase they need back up. This is what they have worked for, lived for for the past 6 months. Leaving her friends and her everyday life, it would all be worth it. But Sam? That is a different story. No matter what she says to Nick, she has never stopped thinking about him. One minute she is pissed at him and the next all she can think about is how much she misses him. But now it is time, within hours they will be face to face. How will she react? How will he? She decides to put it out of her mind, she has a job to do and will deal with the rest of it later.

Warehouse door open and in walks Mike

Nick: Mikey! What's going on, man?

Mike: Ahhh it is a beautiful night my friend! We are going to be very rich, very soon. Well I will be, you two might see a nice bonus.

Andy: I just radioed with the boat captain he should dock in 20 minutes.

Mike: Great, go out back make sure all the drivers are in place, I want this boat unloaded, the contents inspected and then moved off the premises as quickly as possible.

After checking in with the drivers Andy makes her way to the dock, a moment of peace before the chaos begins. She stands there in silence looking over the water.

She feels a sudden chill in the air, almost like some one is watching her but she looks around and sees nothing.

Sam is standing 300 yards away from her, he wants to tell her he is there, let her know that despite everything, he still has her back like he always has. But he can't, he does not want to distract her, this is where it gets dangerous, this is where it could go sideways so everyone has to be on their game. They cannot afford any distractions. As hard he tried he can't separate the job from how he feels. 6 months later he is still hurt, and confused. One second he wants to scream at her, the next he want hold onto her and never let go. Tonight though he just has to protect her. Lost in thought, he is snapped back into reality by the sound of Andy's voice.

Andy on her cell phone: Mike, boat is pulling up to the dock. She hangs up.

Mike and Nick come out as one of the guys working on the boat is throwing Andy a line. They get the boat tied up. Mike calls for his crew to come out an unload the boat as soon as possible. 5 minutes later their is a crew of 15 people moving the crates from the boat to the dock.

Frank and Oliver are standing 15 feet to either side of Sam. Frank knows he should not be here, he has Noelle and his daughter at home but this would be a huge win for 15, maybe even enough to erase everything that happened the year before. He can't miss this one especially with Callahan out on special assignment. Frank gives Sam the nod.

Sam: Police everyone freeze! You are surrounded, there is nowhere to go so put your hands in the air.

Mike is frozen, this was not part of the plan, this was suppose to be his big score and would put him on top in the Toronto drug scene, not to mention make him enough money to retire. No this was not in his plans and it was not going to go down this way. Suddenly he grabs Andy and draws his gun to her head.

Sam: You don't want to do this, you think you are going to take her and run but it is not going to happen. I am not letting you leave with her Mike, so you better drop your weapon!

Andy stands frozen staring at Sam, she had a lot of scenarios that ran through her head about this night but this, this was not one of them. It all happened so fast she didn't have time to draw her gun. She looks at Sam and then looks to her right to Nick.

Nick: Mike, come on man, you don't want to do this.

Mike: This was not how tonight was suppose to go!

Nick: I know, but you cannot shoot her.

Andy's eyes are glued to Sam's she knows whatever happens next is going to happen fast

Mike: I will do what I have to do, I am not going to jail, I am leaving and she is coming with me!

Nick: I don't think so

Mike: Why is that?

Nick: Because she and I are cops.

Momentarily distracted by what Nick had just said Mike loosens his grip. In an instant Andy drops to the ground and Sam takes the shot. He gets him right where he wanted, in the shoulder so he drops his weapon. Just like that, 6 months of hard work is done.

15s finest make the arrests and load up the vans with the prisoners. Nick and Andy stand to the side waiting for their debrief. They can finally breathe again.

Nick: Well Andy McNally, we did ti.

Andy: Ha, feels weird hearing my one name, been awhile Collins.

Nick: Tell me about it!

Frank approaches them

Frank: Collins, McNally! Welcome back!

Andy: Thank you Sir

Frank: You guys did a fantastic job, this is a big win for the both of you, not to mention 15. You have made us proud. Glad to have you back.

Nick: Thank you, it's good to be back.

Frank: all you need to do is a quick debrief and then you can go home. Swarek will Debrief you in the warehouse.

Andy: Swarek?

Frank: He is a detective now. A lot changes in 6 months. Enjoy the weekend, you have earned it. See you in uniform on Monday. Oh and Peck's squad is in the front she she will take you both home.

Andy: Thank you, Sir

Nick: Did he just say Peck? I thought she was suspended and heading to Europe.

Andy: Well he also just said that Sam is a detective so I am just as confused as you are.

They walk inside the warehouse and there he is. Face to face, no gun to her head, no one running away.

Sam: McNally, your up. Collins Nash will debrief you.

Tracy: Welcome back! She gives Andy a big hug and a wink and takes off with Nick.

It is just Andy and Sam

Andy: Hi

Sam: Welcome Back
