Her eyes blinked with unshed tears, how could things have gone so wrong. How could she not know, how could no one tell her.

Her mind wandered back to the early morning when she was nervous and hopeful. The thought of seeing him again made her smile and cringe. Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt a strong hand on her knee, she looked over at Nick giving him a weak smile as they drifted steadily towards the limits of the Toronto city line.

They entered the barn together hands clasped together, each one in an almost death grip. Their fear seemed equal but also their anticipation. Andy looked around and sighed, the more things change she thought. As she began to look around she was suddenly blindsided by a whirlwind she would soon realize was none other than Traci herself.

Omg Andy your back I can't believe it she screamed drawing a crowd of officer's attention. Yeah we just got here literally she said matter of factly. Traci turned and hugged Nick, "you look good she said." Nick looked around and then back, she not here Traci said. Oh was all he replied. Omg Andy you don't know do you? Traci shrieked. What was all Andy could say? Sam you don't know what happened to him do you?

It was then that Andy's face began to pale and heart began to race as Traci began to recount the night 5 months ago that Sam had been injured.

He had been at the penny that night, waiting for her she thought to herself. He had left just after last call and was headed somewhere not really even sure where but it wasn't his house, that's the opposite direction. Traci recounted how they had received the call that an off duty officer had been involved in a head on collision with another vehicle one which had crossed into his lane. The other driver had been drunk, over the limit by 3 times the legal limit. Unfortunately the other driver died on impact and Sam well he's been the same ever since that night. The same, Andy broke in? Yeah the same. Where is he now, home, work where she repeated as Traci just looked at her? Nick took this moment to grab her hand again which had fallen to his side somewhere in the middle of the story, Traci quirked an eyebrow and looked down. He's at the hospital you should go see him, Traci stated. What's wrong with him Andy whispered almost so quietly Traci had to strain to hear her, go this is his room number. "You need a ride Traci added casually," Nick took this moment to speak "no we're good!" With that he turned in his heels and headed for the door tugging Andy behind him.
