Sam Swarek grabbed his former trainee's right arm and gently pulled her out into the sunlight.
To safety.
The sunlight showed clearly the scratches appearing through the soot on Andy's face.
She looked good in the sunshine.

Sam tried to protect her from the darkness of the job.
Tried and failed.
Sam loved her bravery and yet it terrified him. Waiting and wondering
if Andy would ever see sunlight again was torture.
Torture he endured because Sam knew he'd make sure she saw sunlight again.
There was no other option.
Andy was his partner and he'd keep her safe.
No matter the odds.
It was what they did for each other.
