Jamie sat in the interrogation room with Traci and Sam opposite him, it didn't feel good being on the other side. "What do you want me to say?" he finally asked.

"We want you to ring Hill and say you did what he asked and you want to see Esther." Sam replied.

"What if he doesn't buy it?" Jamie asked nervously.

"You won't know until you try he's too occupied with me coming later. I just need you to find out if he has them together or where Andy is, leave the rest to me."

Jamie nodded and picked up the phone "uh it's Jamie look I kept to our end of the deal where's Esther? Alright good And Andy?" He asked closing his eyes "you better not hurt her that wasn't part of it alright I'll be there." He put the phone down and sighed "he said I can find her at his restaurant. And Andy is staying where she is until you show up."

Sam sighed "and where the hell would that be."

"If it helps there was an echo, like he was in a warehouse or something." Jamie said.

"Makes sense, that's where I have to meet him. " Sam said standing up "alright, you are going in with a wire I don't want to risk Andy or Esther getting hurt so you'll be going alone, I'll have back up nearby."

"I can't wear a wire, that's the first thing he'll check," Jamie said jumping from his seat.

"He's right Sam" Traci agreed.

"Yeah, alright you'll take the phone with the recording device in it, press record before you walk in the door."

Jamie nodded "for what it's worth I really had no choice I love Andy with all my heart I'd do anything to protect her it was never meant to go this way," he muttered.

"Somehow I don't think Andy will see it that way," Traci snapped.

"No really my plan was to get Esther out and warn Andy before they got to her I thought I'd have more time," he muttered again.

"Right we're wasting time here- Andy will deal with you herself," Sam said and stood up.

"What now? Jamie asked standing up too.

"You'll go see Jerry now he'll talk you through what's gonna happen eyes will be on you but you will be going in alone," Traci said and stood up.

"Hopefully you're in and out in with Esther if anything goes wrong don't worry people will be on standby nearby," Sam said and left the room.

"You know he wants to kill you right?" Traci asked.

"Yeah kinda got that impression," Jamie sighed.

"Yeah well I do too but Sam seems to think we can trust you… I bet Andy thought that too," she spat and stormed out of the room she didn't care what Sam said she didn't trust him anymore.

Over where Andy was she and Esther still lay on the bed they both gripped each other when they heard the bolts on the door being undone "stay calm," Andy whispered as they sat up.

"Andy please please I'm begging don't let them kill me!" she cried and gripped her tighter.

"I won't let anything happen to you I promise," Andy replied and shoved her behind her.

"Having fun are we?" Wayne chuckled from the doorway "well say goodbye now- you," he said pointing to Esther "over here now."

"No!" Andy said loudly "she's not going anywhere."

Wayne smirked and walked over to her "and who's gonna stop me you?" he laughed.

"If I have to yes," Andy said trying to sound confident she still had sore ribs and wouldn't have that much strength.

He laughed again "honey Charlie did you good the other night I know you can't fight," he said and poked her in the ribs causing her to yelp in pain and grab her side "see," he said smiling smugly and shoved her out of the way.

"No! no! Andy! Please!" Esther screamed as he dragged her to the door.

Andy pushed her pain aside and stumbled to the door "leave her alone she's not in this she's done nothing!" she yelled and repeatedly smacked him.

He turned around and shoved her hard causing her to land on the ground "you'll stay down if you know what's good for you!" Wayne barked and dragged Esther out the door.

Andy jumped up and ran to the door she was too late it shut just as she got to it "no! No!" she screamed and banged on "let her go! Let her go! Esther!" She cried. She let the tears fall as she listened to Esther crying and screaming for her, going back to the bed she sat down and cried harder.

Back at the station Jerry was just finishing up with Jamie he too wasn't impressed with him if it were up to him he'd send him in with nothing and let him fend for himself. "Right so we've run through it if you run into any trouble we'll be right in now go get the recorder off Nash and she'll drop you a block away before the others leave," he said and stood up.

Jamie nodded and stood up too "so what happens if I can just walk in get Esther and go?"

"We'll see you come out- just keep walking back here, we'll follow you back here to make sure no one jumps you two."

"Right and then what we go after Andy?"

"We do nothing my team and I which are her friends people that care about her will find her and bring her back," Jerry said and walked out of his office.

Jamie sat looking at him and sighed one by one they were turning against him. He walked out the door and walked to find Traci at her desk "hey uh Detective Barber said I could get the recorder from you," he said trying to get her attention.

She took it from her drawer and placed it on the desk "I'll meet you out front in a minute," she said without looking up. He sighed and picked it up before walking away without saying anything.

Sam was pacing Frank's office he was counting down the hours until he had to go himself but his gut was telling him Jamie's deal was too easy. He watched him get something from Traci and walk outside he thought for a second before following him. He found him leaning against the wall with a cigarette "didn't know you smoked," he said leaning on the wall beside him.

"I don't anymore gave up six years ago but I have a sly one from time to time mostly when I'm worrying about something…someone," he sighed "look Sam I know you all blame me and I'll take it I don't care what happens to me as long as Andy's okay but promise me if something goes down you have to get Esther away and forget about me."

"You still love her?" Sam questioned.

Jamie smiled "yeah I never met anyone like her I'll always love her but she's made up her mind she doesn't want me."

Sam nodded and thought for a moment "don't give up mate keep trying I reckon she's just scared."

Jamie laughed "Esther doesn't get scared not of commitment anyway, she asked me would we ever get married and I was the one that said probably not- that was the end for us," he smiled sadly "at least we're working on being friends."

"If you really love her you'll show her that you've changed we all gotta settle down sometime in life," Sam said looking at the ground

"So you reckon Andy's it for you?"

"Nah don't reckon- Andy is it for me has been since I met her, trust me when I say this don't hold back tell her how you feel -I spent nearly two years watching Andy trying to be happy with Callaghan and looked what happened there."

"What happened she never did tell me," Jamie asked curiously.

Sam sighed "he cheated on her but they're all good now."

"I'm glad he did- not glad he did but that she ended up with you even I knew she had feelings for you she always went on about you anytime we talked."

"Let's go dummy," Traci said walking by them.

"Well Sam guess this is it," he held out his hand "you look after Andy yeah? And tell her I'm sorry."

Sam shook his hand "you can tell her yourself- you will be back," he said. Jamie nodded and smiled weakly before jogging to catch up with Traci.

Sam stood and waited for them to pull out before he went back inside "all set Buddy?" Ollie asked clapping his shoulders.

"Yeah," Sam sighed "just have to wait now," he said and sat at his desk.

"She's fine you know," Ollie said and sat beside him.

"What?" Sam asking making a face.

"McNally she's fine and you wanna know how I know that, one- she's Andy McNally unbreakable Rookie, two- she can handle herself and three- she knows what a mopey fucker you'd be if she didn't come home she wouldn't do that to us," he chuckled.

Sam chuckled and then turned serious again "I wouldn't be moping," he said and stood up "no Andy no me," he said and walked away.

"That's deep love right there brother!" Ollie yelled after him.

Jamie took a deep breath as Traci pulled off he looked around and tried to gather himself before he started walking the rest of the way. When he got outside the restaurant he saw two guys standing on the door, walking up to them he stopped a bit away from them

"Hold your hands out one," of them said and walked over to him. Jamie did as he was told and the guy frisked him and pulled out the phone and looked at it before shoving it back in "clean," he said to the other and stepped back. The other guy nodded and opened the door.

Jamie took a few steps in and the door closed behind him he stood there for a moment before he took a few steps in "Esther?" He said and took a few more steps. When he didn't hear anything he walked further into the open space "Esther?" he said again.

"J-Jamie," she whimpered from the other side.

"Esther where are you?" he said trying to look around in the dark.

"Why she right here," Anton chuckled and turned on the light. He held Esther against him pointing a gun at her back.

"We had a deal I did what you asked let her go," Jamie said taking another step.

Anton smiled "we did have a deal and you did keep your end I suppose it's only fair… I just have one more question… what's Swarek's partners name?"

Shit Jamie thought he knew he couldn't say Andy "Andrea Baker, he said quickly.

Anton nodded "and where can I find her?" he said digging the gun further into Esther's back.

"2163 Jameson street," he said again quickly.

Anton nodded again and smiled he shoved Esther hard at Jamie "good boy you're no longer needed," he said and turned his back on him.

"Jamie," Esther whimpered and gripped him for life.

"I gotcha I gotcha," he said and hurried her back to the door, looking behind him every few seconds until they were outside. "Just keep walking don't look back," he whispered as they walked by the two men on the door.

"Oh and McNally?" He stopped and turned around to face Anton again "if she's not at that address you and your pretty girlfriend will be back here quicker than you can blink," he laughed and walked back inside.

"Andy you gotta go back and help Andy she's hurt," Esther said as they walked.

"I know we're working on it what do you mean hurt did they hurt her?" he said as he crossed the street and hurried her around a corner.

"No another attack he said he knew she was hurt and poked her in the side, she yelled in pain and he laughed and shoved her to the ground. She tried to stop him from taking me we thought he was gonna hurt me- Jamie you gotta go help her you need to go back for her!" she cried.

Jamie sighed he was torn he didn't know what to do Jerry had given him strict orders to return right away "are you okay?" he asked once they stopped "did they do anything to you?" something dawn on him "hang on what do you mean back for her?"

Back in the station Jerry pulled his earpiece out of his ear "he got her they're on the way back!" he called to everyone in the task room. He stood up as his phone rang "detective Barber," he said.

"It's Jamie I need to talk to Sam right now!" he yelled down the phone as he dragged Esther along.

"Slow it down you done your bit now just get back here," Jerry said and hung he felt he didn't need to be nice to him now since it was over.

"What was that all about?" Sam asked handing him a coffee.

"Ah Jamie looking to talk to you," Jerry said and took the cup from him.

Sam nodded wondering why he wanted to talked to him he didn't have his phone on him the task force had it hooked up to a tracker.

"Shit!" Jamie cursed and pressed redial "shit!" he screamed again when Jerry cancelled his call.

"Try someone else!" Esther panted as they were now running.

"I don't have anyone else's- wait!" he said stopping Esther slamming into him "I have Dov's number!" he said and scrolled through his phone "DOV!" He yelled as soon as he answered "don't talk and don't hang up just listen! Tell Sam it's a set up not to go to the warehouse alright Andy's not there she's not there!" He yelled.

"I don't understand," Dov replied "I didn't catch a word of that."

Jamie sighed and repeated what he said slower "tell Sam not to go to the warehouse it's a set up Andy is not there!" He yelled and hung up.

"Asshole," Dov muttered and walked to Jerry's office "Sam about?" He asked sticking his head in the door.

"He's in the task force room getting set up so unless it's important don't interrupt," Jerry replied.

"Well I don't know," Dov frowned "Jamie rang me ranting and raving saying it was set up that Andy wasn't there… where's there?" He asked.

"A set up how- what were his exact words?" Jerry asked.

Dov thought for a moment "he said tell Sam it's a set up not to go to the warehouse Andy isn't there… what's he talking about Jerry?"

Jerry sat back in his chair and sighed "Sam is to meet Anton Hill in his warehouse at ten we were under the impression Andy was there with him because he put her on the phone," he looked to the task force room to see Sam missing. "Stay here," he said to Dov and walked to the room "where's Sammy?" he yelled.

"He left about five minutes ago it's twenty to ten," Oliver said "we're about to follow."

"Call him back!" Jerry yelled and ran back to his office for his phone.

"What's going on Jer?" Noelle said and followed him.

"Jamie called Epstein apparently it's as set up Andy's not at the warehouse," he said pulling up Sam's number.

"Can we trust him Jerry?" Chris asked.

"Guess we'll find out," Jerry said and threw his phone down "Sammy's not answering," he grabbed the walkie "right team one me, Shaw, Williams- team two Nash, Diaz, Epstein- team three Peck, Jenkins, Peters again everyone on channel three, move," he yelled hurrying out the door worrying about his best friend. Everyone scattered and ran to their cars.

Sam pulled over when his phone would not stop ringing he shouldn't even have it on him not recognizing the number he answered in cop mode "Swarek."

"Sam!" Andy cried.

"Andy? Andy, baby where are you?" he said quickly.

"I don't have much time I don't know where I am Sam don't go to the warehouse alright don't go," she pleaded.

"Andy no way I'm coming for you."

"No no Sam please I'm not there I'm not there don't go they're waiting for you it's a set up I love you I love you I gotta go!" she yelled and hung up.

"Andy!" He yelled "baby answer me!" he punched the wheel and pressed redial "fuck sake!" He screamed when it went to mail. Turning back towards the station he called Jerry.

"Sammy I've been trying to reach you!" he said relieved.

"Yeah look I'm on my way back call everyone back in this isn't happening Andy called," he said quickly.

"What did she say how was she on a phone?" Jerry asked.

"I don't know she begged me not to go to the warehouse saying it was a set up."

Jerry sighed "yeah we heard that too that's what I was calling for I'll call everyone back and meet you at the station," Jerry said and hung up.

Jamie and Esther had arrived at fifteen and were sitting in Jerry's office under Frank's orders, Esther had run through everything with Jamie all they had to do now was wait for Jerry to get back hoping he caught Sam in time.

Over where Andy was she ran along a hallway Wayne had come to get her ready to move when she tackled him and pinned him down grabbing his phone she ran out of the room and closed the door locking him in. She ran as fast as she could and called Sam, after she'd done that she ran straight into Anton himself "now that's not playing nice," he chuckled and grabbed the phone from her "I told you not to give me a reason to hurt you," he snapped and slapped her hard across the face.

She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of crying out so she bit her tongue to hold back her cry "I think I have an even better idea for you than I had originally planned" he smiled and dragged her to another room and threw her into a chair. "Now Ms McNally don't worry you'll soon have more company," he said walking back and forth behind her "once my boys come back with Andrea Baker that is," he said annoyed,

Andy's head shot up at the name and Anton noticed this "ah didn't think I'd find out the partners name?" he chuckled.

Andy had to play along she was dying to smile only one person ever used that name- now she knew he was okay "she's done nothing wrong!" she hissed.

Anton chuckled "she interrupted me I could have had Swarek there and ended him but she had to spoil it!" He hissed back.

"You're going to kill her for doing her job?" Andy yelled forgetting momentarily that he was in fact talking about her.

He laughed "I have killed for less but this one she gets under my skin she's always by his side makes me sick," he grunted and sat down.

"Why do you hate him so much- I get he played you but surely you don't hate him that much over that?" Andy asked curiously.

Anton again laughed "you see I don't know what kind of pillow talk he's shared with you but in his time with me he's been the only guy- the one guy that I never suspected as a cop and I dig dip Ms McNally. Nothing came up on him so he passed the first test and the second and the third and every other one to follow. He moved quickly up in my ranks it wasn't long before he was my go to guy- you know the guy used to do all the dirty jobs so I could keep my hands clean. Has he ever told you about the woman and her baby I sent him to kill Hm?"

Andy's eyes went wide she was beyond shocked he heart dropped at the thought "no," she shook her head "Sam wouldn't do that he couldn't he has a heart!" she yelled.

Anton laughed "he didn't tell you? Okay" he clapped his hands he was enjoying this "how about the old nosy cow down the street he tell you about her too? Or the teenager that owed us money? Or the young couple in the car?"

"No I don't believe any of it," Andy said.

Anton nodded "okay I'll prove to you one way or another before you leave here you'll look at him differently… he's not the man you think he is."

"I doubt that," Andy scoffed "nothing you'll ever say will change anything."

"You really think he loves you?" he asked sitting across from her "that he's gonna burst in here and save the day?"

"I know he loves me he doesn't need to prove it!"

Anton laughed "tell that to Monica you know what he told her when she told him she loved him? Nothing, he dumped her there and then saying he wasn't ready for that kinda stuff it's only a matter of time before he does it to you too."

"No he's actually told me he loves me- and how do you know about Monica?" Andy asked she'd only met Monica twice she seemed nice.

"Ah me and her dad are… buddies if you like anyway I have to get going to see the man himself you play nice until I get back," he said and left her alone.

Andy sat in the room lost in thought he wouldn't do that he couldn't Sam couldn't hurt anyone, could he? No Andy no he's trying to get into your head don't give in.

Back in the station Jerry and Sam walked swiftly towards his office "start talking," Sam said letting the door bounce off the wall.

Esther stood up "she's in the place I was, go up the stairs take a left there's a hole in the wall covered with a file cabinet go through and it's the fourth door on the right the one with all the bolts on it."

"Weapons?" Jerry asked.

"Two guys had guns but the others could have too," Esther replied.

"Alright we're moving out! Back into teams!" Jerry yelled and they walked back out "McNally is in the restaurant take down anyone that gets in the way!"

"Wow I love it when you're pissed," Ollie chuckled as he caught up with him and Sam.

"Let's go get our girl!" Jerry yelled as they all scattered out the door and tore out of the station lot.
