Saving Andy

Sam's POV

...............................................

Everything happened at once. Doctors and nurses rushed in as soon as Andy's heart monitor started going haywire.

"She's going septic! Get the paddles and prep the ER!" The doctor started shouting.

It happened so quickly, I was stunned. The nurses pushed me out of the room, into the hallway. I could only watch as they wheeled Andy away to ER. I walk to the wall, absolutely stunned, and slide down to the floor. I can't lose her. Not when I'm so close to finally getting her. I take a deep breath and stand up. It's time to call everyone and let them know what's happening.

..............................................

A few hours later the doctor comes out of the ER. By now half of the division is with me in the waiting room.

"Family of Andy McNally?"

We all stand up and wait for him to tell us her condition.

"Unfortunately, Ms. McNally went septic. We had to operate to remove the poison blood and flush it out of her body before it harmed any important organs. We gave her several blood transfusions to replace the blood that she lost. We expect her to make a full recovery."

"Can I see her?" I ask.

"She's still in recovery. A nurse will come and escort you to her room when she's settled in."

"Thank you doctor."

He walks away and I wipe my hands on my face. I'm not leaving her side until we catch this guy.

...................................................

It was another hour before they finally let me see Andy. I walked into her room and see her pale face against the crisp white pillows. She has three IVs in; one for blood, one for an antibiotic, and another for fluids. I sit down in the chair and wait. That's all I can do right now. Wait.

I start to doze off when I feel Andy squeezing my hand.

"Andy?"

Her eyes flutter open, and she finally focuses on me.

"Hey."

"Hey how are you feeling? Do you want me to go get the doctor?"

"No Sam I'm okay. I just want all this to be over. I want to go home and not worry about someone trying to kill me."

She's on the verge of breaking down. Her walls are falling. Her body is racked with sobs. I pull her to me. All I want is for her to be in my arms and to never leave. I think she feels that way too. I try to calm her down by saying words like it's okay or your going to be fine, but we both know that none of it is true.

She keeps crying until exhaustion puts her to sleep. I stand up and walk out into the hallway for some air. I get my phone from my pocket and call Frank. We need a gameplan.
