-Let the Sun Shine A Little-

Hey everyone!

Well, this is not my first story. I had an account earlier, but I forgot the password and the password to my email... so yeah. So I just decided to start a clean slate. But I will say that on my previous account, I had two stories, both unfinished, never went beyond one chapter, and they were not Rookie Blue stories. I just wrote the one chapter and hoped that inspiration would come to me about the rest of the story, which it never did.

Anyways, this is a tester chapter to see how you guys will like this kind of idea. And if you do like it, I already have the next five chapters planned out. So, if I do continue, I already know what the upcoming chapters will involve.

Disclaimer: I don't own Rookie Blue.

"Mommy! You're home!"

The four-year-old girl had squirmed out of the babysitters arms and ran towards her mother, Andrea McNally, who had just returned home from work. In response to the little girl, Andy quickly set down her bag and shut the front door before picking up the four-year-old, who was running right towards her. She spun around with her baby girl in her arms and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Andy smiled at the little girl's enthusiasm every time she came home. "Hey, baby, how was your day today with Mrs. Barber?"

Before the little girl could respond, the babysitter chimed in, "It's not Mrs. Barber yet, Andy. We still have about two months until the wedding."

"I know Trace, but-" Andy switched the little girl so she rest on her hip. "-you're getting married! In about two months!" The little girl nuzzled her head into the crook of Andy's neck, signaling she was tired.

"I know, I know. And to answer your earlier question, yes we had an amazing time. Isn't that right, Zoe?" Traci asked the little girl whose eyes were slowly closing. So, in response, all she got was a 'mhmm'. Traci and Andy both smiled at Zoe's sleeping face. It was a few seconds later that Zoe started to snore and she was completely asleep.

Andy sighed, "Well, I guess it's time to put this little girl into her bed." Traci nodded and smiled as Andy started to walk towards the little girls bedroom before turning around, "Oh, and don't leave yet. Since I don't have to go to work until Saturday and you don't work tomorrow, let's talk."

"Okay." Traci smiled. And with Traci's answer, Andy turned back around and continued to walk towards Zoe's room. She quietly opened up the door that had pink letters spelling out Zoe on the front and walked towards the small bed filled with stuffed animals. Andy pulled some of the animals and laid her daughter onto the bed. Zoe fidgeted a little as Andy set her down, but she didn't wake. But after seeing Zoe move around a little, Andy decided to grab the blanket at the end of her bed instead moving her more by trying to get her princess comforter from underneath her. She light put the blanket over her daughter and gave a kiss on her forehead before standing up straight and walking out the door.

As soon as she closed Zoe's door, her cell phone started to ring. Andy moved away from her daughters room into the room next to hers, which was Andy's bedroom. "Hello?" Andy answered when she didn't recognize the phone number.

"Hello, I am Sargent Frank Best from the 15th division. I am calling for Andrea McNally."

Andy smiled as he mentioned he was from the 15th division. "Yes, this is her. And I prefer to be called Andy, sir."

"Okay, well, Officer McNally, I do apologize for calling you kind of late."

"No, sir, it's okay. I have a daughter and she always stays up a little later than her bedtime to wait for me to come home and it's only 9 o'clock."

Best laughed at Andy's little ramble. "Alright. Anyways, I was calling to let you know we have accepted your transfer to the 15th division and we are excited for you to come help us serve and protect our community."

"Thank you, sir!" Andy's smile got even bigger. "I am delighted that to switch to your division and help you serve and protect."

"Well, Officer McNally, if it's okay with you, we would like to give you your day off that you originally planned for tomorrow and have you come into work on Saturday."

Andy nodded, even though she knew Best couldn't see her. "Yes, sir, that is perfectly fine with me."

"Alright then, see you Saturday. And I hope you have a wonderful night and day off."

"Thank you , sir. I hope you have a wonderful night too."

With those final words, Andy hit the end call button on her iPhone. She couldn't stop smiling. This is what she had wanted for that past few months when she first put in for the transfer. She just needed a change and most of her friends, especially the ones she went to the academy with, were at 15th division. So she decided that if there was anything she was going to switch divisions. And Traci was the one who finally got her to agree to put in the transfer.

That's when Andy remembered that Traci was waiting out in her living room. Andy walked out to Traci with a huge smile on her face and because of the smile, Traci asked, "What's going on?"

"I just got a call from Sargent Frank Best." Andy simply said.

Traci realized what Andy was saying, "Oh my god. You got the transfer!"

Andy nodded. Traci came over and hugged Andy. "Oh, Andy, I am so happy for you! Now you can work with Dov, Chris, Gail, Jerry and I."

"Yeah, I guess. But I wish I knew Jerry a little better; if I had gotten the transfer earlier, than I would've gotten to know him."

Traci pulled away from Andy, "Andy, you know him well enough. We have gone out to dinner with him like 10 times."

"I know, but I just feel like I don't know him because other than going out to dinner with him, the only other times I have seen him is if I brought Zoe over to play with Leo." Andy shrugged.

"I know, but Jerry is good with Leo. Like he is watching him now cause you needed someone to watch Zoe."

"I know, I know. Okay, enough about that. So, who else is at the division that I should know about?" Andy asked, changing the subject.

Traci smiled, happy that Andy changed the subject. "Well, there is Oliver Shaw. He is like the father of the station in a way. No matter if you are a rookie or not, if you are driving with him, he will keep his eye on you." Andy nodded, showing she was paying attention. "If you get partnered with him on the first day, even though you aren't a rookie, he will most likely give you 'the talk'"

"The talk?" Andy asked.

"Yep," Traci nodded. "It's just mostly about how he will make sure you're safe while you are his partner."

Andy nodded as she moved towards the kitchen, grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of wine. "Anyways, there really isn't much about Oliver. He is one of Jerry's best buds and he is married with three children. He is not a pushover, so don't think he is. He seems like it, but he is not." Andy handed Traci a glass of wine as she spoke. Once received, she took a quick drink before continuing. "Next, there is Noelle Williams. She is a sweet person if you get to know her and she is also Frank Best's girlfriend."

"What?" Andy asked after talking a sip of wine.

Traci nodded. "Yes, she is his girlfriend. Anyways, she is kind of pissed all the time because she is pregnant with Frank's child." Andy almost spit the wine in her mouth when she heard the news. "I know. But, she really is a nice person if you get to know her. She plays by the book for the most part. There were some times that she would break the rules because she knew if she did something opposite, it would work out better."

"Then there is Officer Sam Swarek. He used to be in guns and gangs, so he pretty much does whatever he feels right. He does follow protocol, but he just does things his way. If that makes any sense. If you get partnered with him, well, good luck."

Andy laughed. "Why do you say that?"

"Because you are a talker and he doesn't like to talk. He will yell at you. He could care less about feelings or anything. If he hates you, he will tell you. But none the less, he is a good guy. He always has your back."

"Wow." Andy rolled her eyes. "Sounds like he is a blast."

Traci smiled and laughed. "I know, it seems like he is a bore, which he kind of is, but he really is a good guy."

"Alright, well is there anyone else?"

Traci nodded. "There is Officer Nick Collins. He is the newest rookie and Gail's ex-fiancé!"

Andy's eyes widened in surprise, "Whoa, what?"

"Yeah, but don't tell her I told you. She doesn't even know I know. I accidentally overheard them once when I was walking past." Traci said.

"I won't, but Gail was engaged?"

"I know, I can't believe it either!"

"Okay, so what's his story?"

Traci shrugged and moved over to sit on the bar stool opposite of Andy. "I don't really know. He isn't married. As far as I know, he doesn't have any kids. I guess the most personal thing I know about him is that he was engaged to Gail. He is still a mystery to me. To everyone, actually."

"Well, did he come straight out of the academy?"

"Actually, no. He was in the military."

Andy nodded as she moved over to sit next to Traci. "Well, is there anyone else?"

Traci shook her head. "Not really. You know pretty much everyone else."

Andy smiled and set her wine glass on her granite counter top. "Okay, well you need to get home, Mrs. Barber. Your husband and son need you."

"I guess I have to get used to people saying that, huh?"

Andy nodded and smiled. Traci got up from the stool and walked over the coat rack to grab her jacket and purse. "Well, I guess I will see you on.."

"Saturday. I start Saturday." Andy supplied for her.

Traci quickly hugged her. "I will see you on Saturday. Good night Andy."

"Good night, Traci."

The shrill sound of her alarm clock caused Andy to wake up. She groaned and slammed her hand against the dismiss button. She moved the comforter from on top of herself and threw her legs over the side of the bed. Her feet dangled just above the floor to feel the coldness radiating off of the wooden floor. Andy slowly put her bare feet on the cold floor and walked over to her bathroom. She took a hair-tie and quickly tied her hair back. Andy felt reawakened as she splashed some cold water on her face. At the sense of being refreshed, she quickly brushed her teeth and jumped into the shower.

Andy couldn't help but think about how today might go as she got into the shower. She was curious on who she would be partnered with, or if she would just be put on desk duty for today. Andy also wondered if Chris, Dov or Gail knew about her transfer. She knew that they knew that she put in for the transfer, but she didn't call them yesterday and she wasn't sure if Traci called them and told them.

After washing off the last of her body wash, Andy turned off the water and reached behind the shower curtain to grab her towel. She wrapped the white cotton towel around herself tightly as she walked towards her closet. She rummaged through her underwear and bra drawer until she found a match. She quickly put them on and just grabbed a pair of jeans and a loose t-shirt. Once finished putting on her clothes, she walked out of her bedroom and towards Zoe's. She opened up the door and switched on the light. Andy waited a minute to wake up her daughter so she could soak up how innocent and cute Zoe looked while she was sleeping.

Once she was done, she walked over to the little girl, put her hand on her arm and gently shook her awake. "Zoe, sweetie, it's time to get up."

Zoe groaned and shook her head without opening her eyes. "No, mommy. I'm tired."

"I know, sweetie," Andy smiled at her cuteness. "But mommy has to go to work and I am going to drop you off at Aunt Lily's house. I know you love hanging out with Aunt Lily!"

"Aunt Lily?" The little girl slowly opened up her eyes.

"Mhmm, the faster you get up, the faster you can go hang out with Aunt Lily." Andy watched as Zoe climbed out of bed faster than Andy had expected. "Come on' Zo, we are going to go brush your teeth and get you dressed."

Andy grabbed Zoe's small hand and led her into the second bathroom in the apartment. As Zoe slowly trailed behind Andy; Andy got her toothbrush and squeezed a little bit of toothpaste on it. "Alright, come here." Andy watched as Zoe slowly open up her mouth to have her mother help brush her teeth. As soon as Andy was done with the back of her teeth, she moved to the front, but Zoe stopped her. "Mommy, I want to do it."

Andy was a little surprised. "Uhm, okay. Here you go." Andy let go of the toothbrush and put it in Zoe's hand. She watched as her little girl moved the toothbrush around her front teeth for about thirty second before stepping on her stool to spit in the sink. She also grabbed a cup, that was lying next to the sink, turned on the water, filled up the cup and took a little sip and maneuvered the water around the inside of her move before spitting it into the sink. She then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and the back of her hand with her shirt.

"Wow, sweetie, you did a good job!" Andy exclaimed.

"Thanks mommy." Zoe smiled before asking, "Can I wear my Hello Kitty t-shirt today?"

"Yes, sweetie, you can." Andy laughed. The two made their way back to the little girl's bedroom and towards her dresser. Andy quickly poked through it to find the pink Hello Kitty shirt and its pink matching pants to go with. She then picked out a pair of underwear for her daughter. "Here, put the underwear and pants on first and I'll help you with your shirt."

Zoe nodded and did what she was told. Andy then helped her slide on the shirt. After getting Zoe fully clothed, Andy grabbed a pair of slide on shoes for Zoe to quickly put on. "Come on' sweetie. Mommy has to go to work."

"But I am hungry mommy." Zoe pouted, sticking out her bottom lip.

Andy gave her a disapproving look. "Zoe, put the lip away. And I know you are. I will bring some Cheerios out in the car but Aunt Lily is going to feed you when you get to her house."

Zoe nodded as Andy walked towards the kitchen to pour a small bag of Cheerios and grabbed a cup of milk for her daughter. "Here you go." Andy handed the Cheerios and the milk to Zoe then grabbed her work bag. "It's time to get in the car, sweetie. Let's go." Andy led Zoe out the front door of the apartment building then into the car and quickly strapped her into her car seat. Andy then went around and got into the driver's seat.

Andy took a second and stared at the wheel. "Okay. It's time to go." She muttered to herself. But Zoe saw the look on her face. "Mommy, are you okay?"

"Yeah," She nodded. "Mommy's fine; I'm just starting to work with Aunt Traci, Uncle Chris, Uncle Dov and Aunt Gail."

Zoe's eyes widened with happiness. "I get to see Aunt Traci!"

"No," Andy laughed. "Not today, but you will get to see more of her."

Zoe pouted for a split second before going back to eating her Cheerios and drinking her milk. Andy started to pull out of her parking spot in front of the apartment building and drove off. The car ride was mainly quiet with the exception of music and Zoe occasionally muttering things to herself. A couple of minutes later, Andy pulled into Lily's driveway. "Let's go, mommy is late for work."

Andy quickly unbuckled Zoe and picked her up. She carried her over to the front door and knocked. A few seconds later, a tall blond woman opened up the door. "Hey Andy, hey Zoe." She greeted both of them.

"Hey Lily, thank you so much for babysitting her again. I will pay you for doing this." Andy said, handing Zoe over to the babysitter.

Lily just waved it off. "Nonsense. I love watching this little girl and what are friends for?"

Andy smiled. "Thank you. Listen I'm already late for work, so I have to go." She quickly said goodbye to her daughter gave a quick kiss on her forehead and waved goodbye as she walked towards the car. Andy quickly got in and drove to 15th division. As soon as she parked her car, she quickly ran inside and found the girls locker room and changed into uniform in record time.

Andy then spotted a room filled with men and women in uniforms and figured it was parade. She didn't want to go in and risk being noticed that she was late so she just laid against the door frame and faced the inside of the room. The only guy who noticed her presence was a tall guy with dark hair that stood next to her. She gave a weak smile, but he just returned his attention to the front of the room. Andy just rolled are eyes and turned her attention back to the front of the room as well. For a minute she thought she had gone unnoticed by everyone, except for the tall dark haired guy, but she was wrong because Best started to introduce her. "And everyone, I would like to introduce you to a new officer at the 15th division, Officer Andy McNally." Best then pointed towards her and everyone turned their head to look at her. "She transferred her from the 27th division and we are happy to have you join us."

Andy smiled and nodded. "Thank you, sir. I am happy to be here."

With that, mostly everyone's attention went back to the front as Best started speaking again. "And for the next few weeks, just to learn the ropes of how we do things here at our division, she will be partnered with Officer Sam Swarek." Best pointed towards the tall guy with dark hair, who is now known to her as Sam Swarek.

Andy kept her eyes on him, but he never once looked at her again. He just kept his eyes towards the front. Best went on to finish off with, "Alight people, assignments are on the board. Lets get out there and serve and protect."

With those final words, everyone got up and shuffled their way to the board for their assignment. As they did so, Best yelled out for Andy before she left. Andy walked over to Best. "Yes, sir?"

"Why were you late today?" He got straight to the point.

Andy's smile faltered a little bit. "I'm sorry sir, I have a daughter and she was taking a little longer to get ready this morning."

"It's alright, McNally." Best nodded. "Just try to make sure it doesn't happen again."

"I promise."

"Okay, then get to your assignment."

Andy nodded and walked towards Sam. "Hello, Officer Swarek."

Sam just nodded at her and walked out of the parade room, gesturing for her to follow him.

As they walked out of parade, Oliver and Traci were talking next the assignment board. "How long do you think it'll take before Sam asks for a new partner?" Oliver asked.

"Twenty bucks says he asks for one by tomorrow." Traci said.

"Really?" Oliver said, surprised. "I say he asks for a new one tonight."

Traci shrugged. "Andy is a talker but she knows when to stop. So, I say he asks for a new one by tomorrow or in the next couple of days."

"You know Andy, but I know Sam. He will definitely ask for a new partner by tonight."

"Oh, I'll take twenty for he asks for a new partner by tonight." Gail said walking towards them with Dov trailing right behind her.

"Eh, I say he asks for one in the next few days." Dov said.

A few seconds later, Chris walked in and asked, "What's going on in here?"

"Oh, we are just making a bet about how long it is going to take for Swarek to ask for a new partner. Sam Swarek and Andy McNally together is actually kind of scary because they are polar opposites." Gail said. "Traci says he will ask for a new partner in the next few days and Shaw says that he will ask for a new one by tonight. So, which side of the bet will you take?"

"I say they are going to fall in love and get together."

Everyone looked at Chris like he was crazy. "Okay, either you have been watching too many romantic movies with Denise or your mind is really messed up." Dov said.

"Denise doesn't really want me to gamble or place bets so I am going to take the side where I will most likely lose and that is the side where I said that they will fall in love and get together."

Oliver nodded starting to understand his point. "Okay, it's a bet."

Sam and Andy were walking outside towards the police car they would be driving for today. "So, who will be driving?" Andy asked.

Sam looked at her like it was a stupid question. "I will be driving. Just sit there and don't talk. I will answer whatever calls come through the radio, got it?" Without even waiting for her answer, he opened up the trunk dropped his bag in and went to start the car. Andy groaned. "This is going to be a long day." She muttered to herself. And with that, she also put her back in the trunk, shut it, and got into the passenger seat.

Once Andy shut the passenger door, Sam pulled out of the parking lot and on to the main road. Not even two minutes later, Andy spoke. "So, how long have you been at the 15th division?"

Sam took one glance at her before turning his attention back to the road. "I thought I said no talking."

"You did," Andy nodded. "But, you see, I find the peace and quiet boring, so I prefer to talk or listen to music or something."

"Well, I prefer the peace and quiet and I am the superior officer, so I say peace and quiet."

And rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you maybe the superior officer, but I am also not a rookie so you can't treat me like one. This is my third year on the force and I know what to do and what not to do. I may be new at 15th, but I am not new at being a police officer. So treat me like and other officer not a rookie." She spat.

Sam sat there and contemplated as he drove. He wanted his way, but he was also impressed by her little speech, so he let her have this one. "Alright, it's your first day and your little speech was inspiring McNally, so to answer your question, I have been at 15th for a while. End of talking."

"Okay, You can stop talking, but the least you can do is listen." Sam groaned. "This is obviously my first day at 15th, but I have been at 27th for two years and I am about to start my third year here at 15th. Let's see here, I went to the academy with Gail, Traci, Chris and Dov. Uhm, should we start talking about families?"

"No." Sam said. "Just stop it. There are no calls coming in through the radio so I am going to pull over at the coffee shop and get some more coffee, do you want anything?"

Andy shook her head. "No."

Sam pulled the car over and put it into park. "I'll be back."

Andy pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."

As Sam got out of the car, Andy took her phone out and scrolled throw some of her pictures. She looked at some of pictures of her daughter and some of herself with her friends. Andy glanced up, out of habit, just to see if anyone strange was poking around, when she saw a couple holding hands and running away from something. With Andy's curiosity, and her job is too help people, she got out of the car and walked the opposite way of where the couple was running. She took looks inside each store she passed to make sure everything was okay. It wasn't until she passed a bank, she had to take a second look. Inside were two, maybe three people wearing all black and black ski masks, with the exception of one guy wearing a navy blue ski mask, and holding guns. Andy took her gun out of her holster and, with her other hand, reached for her radio. "1505, I have a bank robbery on the corner of Georgia and Villa." She waited to hear dispatch repeat her report. "Swarek, I'm going in." Andy said into her radio. She heard Sam's immediate protests but she ignored them and went in.

Andy had her gun out in front of her and yelled out to the robbers, who were stuffing money into a bag. "Police! Put the guns and the bag down." All three of them looked up at Andy, but in a split second, the one who had his gun on the hostages and was wearing the navy blue ski mask, he raised it towards Andy and she trained her gun on him. They both fired at the same time. She didn't know what happened. She thought she hit him, but it wasn't until she could see her feet that she realized that she was being knocked to the ground. Seconds later the pain hit her and her breathing became harder and more distant for her to hear. All that filled her ears were the screams of the people around her. Andy shifted her head up to see the robbers running towards the back exit. But she needed to put her head down because of the pain. She knew the bullet didn't hit any part of her body; it was stuck in her vest, but the pain was still horrible. As she looked around, she saw the hostages running out through the front screaming. She could also see Sam pushing through the hostages and running towards Andy.

"McNally! McNally? Breathe, it'll be fine, just breathe." Sam instructed.

And slowly shook her head. "No..Swarek... They went...Out... The back." Andy heaved out.

"Okay," Sam nodded. "But, McNally, promise that you will breathe. Just breathe."

Andy nodded and brought her hand up to gesture him to go. As he got up, Andy heard him yell into his radio, "1505, we have an officer down at Wellness Bank on the corner of Georgia and Villa. Repeat, officer down, send an ambulance immediately. Suspects are also headed out the back exit."

It was three minutes later, but for Andy it felt like a lifetime, when the ambulance finally came. Two paramedics came rushing in and kneeled down next to Andy. "Okay, the bullet got stuck in your vest." One paramedic said, with the name tag of Johnson. While the other paramedic, Smith, put an oxygen mask on Andy to help her even out her breathing. As he did so, police cars pulled up to the scene and started to block off the area. A group of cops, that included Oliver, Traci and Gail came running in, taking a quick glance at Andy, and went towards the back exit where Sam reported the suspects were headed.

"Breathe, just breathe. You will be fine.." Smith looked down at her name tag. "You will be fine McNally. It will leave a nasty bruise and you will be sore for a while, but it will get better within a few weeks." Andy nodded, feeling a little better now that her breathing was evened out.

Seconds later, Sam, Oliver, Traci and Gail came back in through the back exit. "They're gone." Sam said, with a big huff.

"How is she?" Traci asked the paramedics.

"She'll be fine. It'll leave a huge bruise, but once her breathing is evened out without the mask, she will be fine. She should be able to go back to work. She will be sore and we will give her some painkillers, but otherwise, she is good." Johnson explained.

The group of cops nodded.

Traci started to walk outside. "I'm going to call Jerry. We need to find these guys."

As the group started to disperse, Sam and Oliver were the only ones who stayed. "McNally, why the hell would you go in without any backup?" Sam yelled.

"Buddy, calm down. She doesn't need to be yelled at right now." Oliver said, trying to push Sam away from Andy.

"No," Sam shook his head. "I need to know why she didn't wait for backup."

Johnson held up his hand. "No, your friend here is right. You need to calm down. She doesn't need to be frustrated right now."

But Sam didn't listen, he just kept asking over and over why she didn't wait for backup. When Andy finally had enough, she removed her oxygen mask and sat up a little, using her elbows to support herself. "Swarek, I have had enough of you treating me like I am a rookie."

Sam gave a chuckle. "Then don't act like this is your first day on the job if you aren't a rookie! You should've waited for backup or at least me to have your back."

"If I waited for backup, they would've been gone either way! I went in trying to stop them, seeing as that was my only option if I wanted to get them!" Andy yelled back.

"Enough!" Jerry said as he walked through the bank doors. He stopped in front of Sam. "Sam, McNally did the best that she could. Lay off." Then he turned to Andy. "McNally, you okay?"

She nodded. "Alright, then I am going to need you to run me through everything after we get your vest and everything, okay?" Jerry asked.

Andy nodded again. "Okay."

"Can I take her, or do you still need to check her out?" Jerry asked the paramedics.

"We still need to check her out, but once we are done, we will send her to you." Smith said.

With that, Jerry nodded as Johnson and Smith started to get Andy up. They slowly brought her to her feet and had her put her arms around the both of them to help her walk outside to the ambulance. As they made it outside, Andy looked around of the concerning eyes of officers and bystanders. She then focused her attention on the ambulance and making her way to it. Once she got there, she sat on the step that brings you into the ambulance and the paramedics started doing a usual routine by asking her some personal questions before starting to do some tests.

As they started taking Andy's blood pressure, Andy spotted Traci and yelled out for her. Once Traci reached Andy, she asked, "Can I use your phone?"

Traci gave a slight smile. "Are you going to call Lily?"

"Yeah," Andy nodded. "I just need to talk to Zoe."

Traci nodded, understanding her reasons and handed her phone over before walking back over to Jerry. As Traci walked away, Andy dialed in Lily's number and hit talk. It was about thirty seconds later when Lily answered. "Hello?"

"Hey Lily, it's Andy."

"Hey Andy. Whats up?" Lily asked.

"Listen," Andy's voice faltered. "I need to talk to Zoe."

"Andy? What's wrong?"

Andy sighed. "Something happened at work and I just need to talk to her."

"What happened?"

Andy didn't feel like getting into the details with Lily at the moment. "I promise I will tell you later, but I just need to talk to her."

"Okay," Lily said. Andy heard Lily call for Zoe through her phone. "Zoe, mommy's on the phone. She wants to talk to you." Andy felt her lips twitch upwards into a smile as she heard her little girl yell, "Mommy!" She could even hear her little feet pattering across the floor getting louder and louder as she got closer to the phone.

"Mommy!" Zoe said into the phone.

"Hey, baby," Andy laughed. "How is it going with Aunt Lily?"

"Fun! We played with dolls and we are going to have a tea party!" Zoe exclaimed.

"A tea party? That sounds fun."

"Can you come to the tea party, mommy?"

Before Andy could answer, the paramedics said that all of her vitals looked good and that she could get back you work. "Who was that?" Zoe asked.

"Just some people mommy works with. And I wish I could come to your tea party, but I have to work." Andy heard the little sigh Zoe gave through the phone. "But, how about we have our own tea party when we get home?"

That suggestion seemed to make Zoe feel better as Zoe yelled, "Yay!"

Andy laughed. "Okay, sweetie, mommy has to go back to work, but I will see you in a little bit when I pick you up from Aunt Lily's. I love you."

"I love you too, bye mommy." Zoe said.

As Andy shut Traci's phone to end the call, she saw ou of the corner of her eye, Sam leaning against the ambulance. She just kept staring forward, not wanting to deal with Sam yelling at her again. But two minutes went by and he still had not left, so Andy asked, "What do you want?"

"You have a daughter." Sam simply stated.

Andy nodded. "Yeah, I have a daughter. Is that all you wanted?"

"No," Sam shook his head. "I.. Uh.. wanted to say sorry for yelling at you in there. You were shot and I shouldn't have yelled."

Andy waved it off. "No, you were right I should've waited for backup."

"Why are you agreeing with me?"

Andy got off the little step of the ambulance, put Traci's phone in her pocket and started to walk towards Jerry with Sam following right behind her. "What? I'm agreeing because you were right."

"McNally," Sam grabbed her elbow and turned her so she was facing him. "You stood your ground. In the car and when I was yelling at you. Just because I'm pissed off and yelling at you, don't start agreeing with me. That's rule number one when you're with me, always stand your ground to me no matter how pissed I am. Okay?"

"Okay." Andy nodded.

Sam let go her arm and she retreated from him and walked over to Jerry to start giving her statement. As she walked over to Jerry, she handed Traci her phone back and started to give her statement. Andy was also stripped of her vest and radio and all the essentials that Jerry needed for his evidence. As they were taking everything and putting into evidence bags, she saw Best come over and ask how she was and she replied with the simple answer that she was telling everyone else, "Fine."

"Okay," Best nodded. "Can you walk me through everything that happened, McNally?"

"Yeah, uhm.. Swarek pulled over to get some coffee and as he was getting it, I was just glancing around when I saw a couple running this direction," Andy pointed in the opposite way of the bank. "So, I got out of the car and started to walk in the opposite direction that they were running and that is when I saw a guy wearing all black stuffing money into a bag, another guy was holding a gun to a man's head, which I think he was the manager, and that last guy, he was wearing a navy blue ski mask, had his gun on the hostages. I called it in and told Swarek that I was going in, which he protested and said to wait for backup, but I didn't listen. I went it and announced myself as police and that is when the guy with the navy blue mask shot me. And you know the rest." Andy finished

"Okay," Best said. "I want you and Swarek to go back to the precinct and because one of our officers was shot, we are launching an entire investigations into it."

Andy nodded her head and tuned around and walk towards Sam, who was leaning against their police car. As Andy got closer, Sam opened up her side of the door for her and let her slide in before shutting the door for her and walking towards the drivers side of the car. With that, they made their way back to the precinct. The car ride was silent, with no words being spoken by either of them, the only noise was the radio chatter. When they made it to the precinct and entered, Jerry, somehow, beat them there and informed him that there have been few bank robberies that were exactly like this, but they were being handled by the 12th precinct. The 12th precinct happily handed over their files of the past bank robberies, but they barely had anything on them. Andy's lead with the two black ski masks and one navy blue ski masks, was the best lead that they got on them since the first bank robbery.

With no other lead, they couldn't do much about the investigation. They went over the security video, Andy's statement and all the hostages statements about a hundred times. But the hostages statements were pretty close to Andy's except for the fact that said that the robbers came in with their guns, knocked out the security guards, found the manager immediately and started shoveling cash into a bag. Then two minutes later, that is when Andy came in and everything kind of went down hill from there. But all the hostages said they couldn't see their faces and the only thing that sort of separated them was the act that one of them was wearing a navy blue ski mask and the others were not, but other than that, no one could describe how they looked.

It took Sam about a few seconds to realize that the hostages were right about how they found the manager immediately, which suggested that they have been there before and probably knew him. In the past robberies, it took a minute for them to find the manager, which said that they didn't know who it was then, so another possible lead would be that they were regular customers at the bank. When Sam revealed is theory to Jerry, Jerry agreed with Sam that they could've been regulars at the bank before the robbery. "They are getting a little sloppy." Jerry remarked as her thought about how they could easily reveal themselves now that they knew they were regulars at the bank. Of course, it'll be hard to pink them out through the security camera, but they had to of started coming to this bank around two months ago because their last bank robbery was a little over two months ago in Vancouver. With that, it gave them a time line to see who exactly had appeared two months ago, being new at the bank. But that was a little harder cause two months ago, about 200 people had joined the bank. But with some specifications that Andy gave them; which were that they were all male, about six foot, six foot two inches tall, it crossed off all the females which lowered the list down to 90 and with the specifications of how tall they were, lowered it down to 40 people. But that was still to long of a list.

After slowly lowering the list, Gail came running in. "A bank alarm has been tripped and according to the security cameras, it is our same guys."

With Gail's information, almost everyone in the precinct started to run around and drive off to the bank. Andy quickly got geared up in her spare uniform that she had in her locker and met Sam outside. The two got in the car, turned the sirens on and drove to the bank. When they reached Braiding's Bank & Trust, police officers, who got to the bank before them, have already blocked off the area and S.W.A.T. was already in place. Sam and Andy got out of the car and followed Jerry, who just pulled up to the scene and got out of his car. The three walked over to the communication center and were briefed on the situation. Jerry was about a minute away from trying to call the inside the bank. Andy told Sam that she wanted to stay in the communication center instead of getting a weapon and pointing it at the bank. Jerry said it was fine if she wanted to stay, understanding why she wouldn't want to just sit and wait for everything to be cleared up. So, Sam left which left Andy with Jerry and Best who had just arrived a minute earlier.

Jerry dialed in the banks number and waited for some one to answer. When no one answered, he tried again. By the second ring, a guy with a low voice answered. "Who is this?"

"This is Detective Jerry Barber, I would like to know how the hostages are."

The guy left out a gruffly laugh. "They're fine. Now, by the sound of your voice, you don't sound like the officer I shot earlier."

"No," Jerry grimaced. "I am not."

"Well, if she is there, I would like to talk to her."

Jerry shook his head. "Nope, absolutely not."

"Well, each minute that goes by, a hostage will get shot." A few seconds later a shot was fired.

"Hold your fire." Jerry yelled to everyone that was about to storm the bank.

"What was that?"

"A warning shot. Get her on the phone. You never denied that she was there, so I'm assuming she's there."

Andy chimed in. "Jerry, let me talk to him."

"No," Jerry shook his head again. "No, Andy. I am not going to put you in that position."

"You aren't putting me in that position. I am offering myself to be put in that position." Andy said.

"Jerry," Best started. "Let her talk to him. But that is the most he is going to get from her. All they are going to do is talk."

Jerry reluctantly handed the phone over Andy. "This is Officer Andy McNally, who am I speaking with?"

"Ah, well if it isn't the pretty cop woman. Andy McNally, huh? Nice name."

"Thanks. Well, since you have my name, can I get yours?"

The guy laughed, "Ha, nope. But I do have a proposition for you." At his words, Andy looked over at Best and Jerry who nodded their heads, just to see what his proposition was.

"Okay, what do you got?" Andy asked.

The guy was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I want to make a trade."

"What kind of trade?"

"I'll give you the hostages if you give me something in return."

Andy shrugged. "What do you want?"

"You."

At the one single word, Jerry pressed the mute button on the phone and immediately started to protest. Both him and Best protested this but Andy kept saying that she'll do it. "There is no way that they can get out of the building alive while they have me. I'll have my vest on and so if they do shoot me, it'll just be double pain and a second nasty bruise."

"What if they shoot you in the arm and hit an artery?" Jerry asked. "What about then? We don't know if we can get to you in time to save you."

"I don't care, as long as you get the guys."

"McNally," Best chimed in. "You have a daughter. Think about her. You can't leave her alone in this world. I have your file and I know that the father is deceased. She will not have a family anymore. You can't do that to her. We will find another way to get these guys."

Andy stood there, her eyes getting a little teary. "I know, sir. I think about it everyday I leave her to go to work, but I tell myself that I am doing this to make this world safer for her. It breaks my heart and I would never leave her on my choice but I can't stand here knowing that there is something I can do. If he is serious about his threat, hostages will die and I don't want that on my conscience."

A few seconds later, Best agreed. Andy got back on the phone and told the guy that they had a deal. Jerry yelled out to everyone to hold their fire that the hostages were coming out. Not a second later, people came running out of the bank with their hands raised and were directed, by a member of the S.W.A.T. team to a certain area to be checked out and give a statement. As they did, one of the guys demands were that Andy come in disarmed, so she was disarming herself. As she did, Sam saw her doing it from across the barricade. He let go of his weapon and walked over to her and asked what was happening. Jerry told Sam what was going on.

"McNally, you can't do this." Sam said.

Andy turned to Sam. "I can and I am."

"We can get someone else to do it."

"He asked for me."

Sam started to rub circles into his temples because Andy was frustrating him. "You were already shot once by these guys, don't give them a second chance to actually kill you."

"Swarek, I am going in." Andy started to walk away.

"No," Sam grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. "You are not. We will find another way. Think about your daughter."

Andy got angry at the mention of her daughter again. "I am thinking about her."

"By trying to get yourself killed?"

Andy smacked him in the arm. "I am not trying to get myself killed. I am trying to make this place a safer place for her to grow up in. And you aren't a parent so you know nothing about doing something like this. You think I am okay with this? I am not. The thought of leaving my daughter is the most painful thing that I have ever had to think of. This isn't easy for me. I am going in and there is nothing you can do about it." Andy angrily swung her arm out of his hold and walked forward to the entrance of the bank. As she did, she heard pleas from Traci, Dov, Chris, Sam and Gail to have her come back and that they would find another way to do things. But her mind was made up, she was going to do this. As she reached the bank doors, she hesitated for a second before swinging the door open and walking in with her hands up.

"I'm here." Andy said as she walked in. She saw only two guys with both black ski masks on. Curious, she looked around for the third on with the navy blue ski mask, but he was no where to be found. Seconds later, she heard the flush of a toilet and saw the guy with the blue ski mask come out of the family designated bathroom and walked over to Andy.

"Well hello, Andy McNally. How are you doing on this fine day?"

"Just dandy." Andy said through gritted teeth as he put a gun to the back of her head.

Though the mask, Andy could see his smile. "Good. I think we are going to go for a walk outside."

"Ha," Andy scoffed. "They have this place surrounded."

"Maybe, but they wont shoot if I have you with me and you don't have your vest on." He said. "So take off your vest."

Andy did what she was told and took it off. She threw it on the floor in front of her. Once it was on the ground, the guy move the gun to in front of her face and bent down to grab the vest. He then put it on him. "Alright, we are going to go through the back and go for a stroll."

He went behind Andy again and reposition the gun to the back of her head. He pushed her forward to get her to start walking and they started walking towards the back exit. As they opened the door they saw the sight of a cop and raised their guns and four shots were fired.

After Andy had given her statement, she went back to the locker room to wash off the blood that was on her face and arm. Once all the blood was washed off, she went and changed her clothes. She went out of the locker room and gave a quick goodbye to Traci, Dov, Chris and Gail. She was walking towards the exit when she heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw Sam slightly jogging to her.

"Hey." Andy said.

"Hi. How are you doing?" Sam asked.

Andy nodded. "I'm good. Just want to go pick up my daughter from the babysitters and spend the rest of the night with her."

"That's understandable."

"Thank you again." Andy said. "I probably would've been dead if you didn't shoot them when we came out."

"No problem." Sam kind of smiled. "You are just lucky that I shot him first, so when his finger hit the trigger, the bullet wasn't directed at you."

"Yeah, thank you."

Sam just simply nodded.

"Well, good night Swarek."

"Night McNally."

Andy walked out to her car and didn't hesitate starting it and driving to Lily's house. As she pulled in, she took the key out of the ignition and walked to the front door and knocked. Lily opened the door and greeted Andy. She walked in and not a second later she her daughter yell out, "Mommy!"

Andy slowly bent down as the little girl tackled her in a hug, which caused Andy to scream out, "Ow!"

Zoe immediately moved away from her mother. "Mommy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, are you okay?" Lily repeated.

Andy nodded and looked at Zoe. "I'm okay. It's just that mommy got a little hurt today, that's all."

"Oh!" Zoe's interest peaked. "Did you get save by a prince like all the princess do?"

Andy laughed and thought about it for a second. "Well, I wouldn't say he is a prince, but I would say he is mommy's hero."

"Your hero?"

Andy nodded.

"I want to meet your hero!" Zoe said.

"Maybe soon, sweetie."

"Okay!" Zoe then trotted off towards the living room to play with some toys.

"Hero." Andy muttered to herself.

Okay, so how do you like it?
