Souls that cross

Chapter 11

The next day when Andy arrived at work she was not in a good mood at all, so she went to her bunk so as not to influence the team with her bad mood.  Robert saw her enter and go into her bunk so he decided to follow her.
*knock Knock*
Andy: I ​​don't want to talk to anyone
Robert: Not even with me?
Andy: Come on
Robert: what happens?
Andy: My dad has cancer ... and seeing him in the hospital, Nathan in the hospital a few weeks ago and being called Mrs. Tanner by the nurses reminded me of all these flashbacks of Ryan's death and I ... I can't do it
While Andy was talking she started crying so Robert hugged her
Robert: I'm here, everything will be fine
Andy: Thanks.  Can I be on shift at the desk today?
Robert: If that's what you want, that's fine for me
Robert got out of Andy's bunk and went to his office, he knew there was one thing that would make Andy feel better and that thing was the picture of her and Ryan standing in the hallway at Andy's house, he couldn't go  at his house to pick it up then he remembered that one day Nathan had insisted on taking a selfie of him and Robert and that picture was clearly visible in the background so Robert zoomed in on that part there and printed it for Andy.  He went back to Andy's bunk and gave her the photo
Robert: it's a bit blurry but maybe it can help you
Andy: Thanks.  I love you
Robert: I love you too
Andy: Oh I know
Robert: how ... I always told you while you were sleeping
Andy: You thought I was sleeping, but I wasn't sleeping
Andy stayed in her bunk until the alarm went off and then she decided to go to the desk, Robert from his office could see the reception well and he could see Andy crying.  He walked out of his office and went to Andy's
Robert: come with me
Andy: I ​​can't leave the desk.  If a call comes in?
Robert: I made sure that all calls arrive on the phone in my office, I won't leave you alone right now
Andy: Thanks
Andy followed Robert into her office, he sat in the desk chair and she sat on him while he cuddled her.  She was so comfortable in her arms that she ended up falling asleep, when she woke up and she saw the hour she panicked
Andy: Damn!  I'm late to pick up Nathan, he's out of kindergarten in 10 minutes
Robert: hey calm down, I'm going to get it
Andy: Really?
Robert: Sure
Robert was leaving the station when he met Lucas
Ripley: Hey Sully, where are you going?
Robert: hey Luke, I have to go get Nathan because Andy after what happened to his father is not very well
Ripley: What happened to Pruitt?
Robert: Get Andy to tell you, she's in my office.  I really have to escape

Ripley walked into Robert's office and saw Andy sitting on the loveseat that was in the office
Andy: Good morning boss
She said as she got up
Ripley: Sit down.  Robert told me something happened to your father, may I know or not?
Andy: He has cancer... the doctors say he will recover but I'm afraid, I can't lose him too
Ripley: You won't lose him, he's strong.  I've seen him survive your mother's death, terrible fires and many other things
Andy: Thanks boss
Ripley: Call me Luke

They had just finished talking when Robert and Nathan entered the office
Nathan: Mom!
He ran to Andy and she picked him up
Andy: Hi honey, did you have fun at school?
Nathan: Yes, I made a drawing for you
Andy: Come on, let's go home and show me at home
Before leaving the office they greeted Robert and Ripley and Andy thanked Robert for picking up Nathan from school.
