Andy sighed and rolled her eyes at once again being paired with Marlo. She'd had enough of her tough girl act the last time they were partnered together that ended up with SIU being called and poor Wanda dead. Marlo had issues, Andy could tell, she had a chip on her shoulder and something to prove to the world. She's Sam's problem. Andy really didn't care about her issues as long as it didn't affect her, being partnered with her for the day does affect her.

"Let's go McNally. I don't have all day to wait for you" Marlo called.

"Oh joy." Andy muttered under her breath.

The two walked out to their car and headed to their routine traffic stop location on the hiway off ramp.
It was a busy long weekend and they were expecting a lot of incoming from up north, vacations, hikers, campers, bikers all traveling through he province.

They weren't even 2 hours into their shift when Marlo noticed 2 riders approaching and flagged them down to stop. When Andy looked up she saw him, she froze in her spot not believing what she was seeing. Jax, long blond hair, the black leather Sons of Anarchy vest over a SACRO white t-shirt. Next to him similarly dressed his best friend, her cousin who she'd adored Opie.

"California boys, you're far from home." Marlo interrogated Jax while Andy stood still frozen in her spot. Jax nor Opie had spotted her yet.

"Just passing through, Officer." Jax replied politely.

"Right, with what? Guns? Drugs?" Marlo responded rudely and out of line. That snapped Andy into action or she, the division and especially Marlo were going to be screwed with a harassment lawsuit.

"Detective Cruz, they haven't been drinking let them pass." Andy informed her.

The second Andy spoke Jax snapped his head in her direction. Both he and Opie stared at her but neither said a word. Andy knew she had to take the lead here in what direction to take this conversation and she thought the safest one would be to act like they were strangers. Running up into both their arms would be a definite no-no.

"These men are innocent and we can't just accuse them of crimes because they're on bikes."

"Well aren't you an advocate of biker gangs rights." Cruz snided before continuing. "I don't expect you to know anything, but these guys are top of the food chain gang members in California."

Marlo was facing Andy, so she couldn't see Jax and Opie both smirking at the comment about Andy not knowing anything about them.

"You're so right Marlo I know nothing about biker clubs." Andy smirked herself. "I do know that we can't arrest them for nothing and we can't accuse them for nothing, so let them go."

"Actually, I think we'll take you guys in and just double check there's no warrants out for you." Jax and Opie both rolled their eyes but said nothing. They both wanted to see and spend time with Andy now that they've found her.

"What?" Andy yelled? "Seriously? You're going to get you, me, and the Division in trouble and with a harassment suit all for what? Because you have a hatred for bikers?

"No, because I have a hatred for people who break the law."

"Let them go Marlo."

"No, McNally. I'm calling them in."

As Marlo went to radio in for backup, Andy just looked at Jax and mouthed 'sorry'.

One hour later, Marlo had dragged Jax and Opie into holding. Holding them for nothing but claiming to check their stickers and if there's any outstanding warrants.

Frank had demanded both Marlo and Andy in his office with Oliver and Sam wanting to know what the hell was going on with bringing them in over nothing. Andy said not a word, showing the fact she didn't approve.

"Nothing to say McNally, you don't back you your partner." Sam asked.

"No, I did not approve of bringing in people who have done nothing wrong other than be on bikes. I didn't approve on the scene and I don't approve now. We don't know if Guns and Gangs have an informant in their Club, we don't know if there's a case being worked on. She just dragged 2 people in for no reason at all when we know nothing at all, and for all we know she could have screw a case and gotten our entire division put on their radar and could get a harassment suit." Andy let out daring Sam to make another stupid comment.

"We dragged 2 people. You're my partner McNally." Cruz said.

"No, I'm not taking responsibility for your messes anymore. This was all you and they know it." Pointing down to holding where Jax and Opie sat. Before she walked out of the room without being dismissed.

Andy walked up to holding fuming still, standing at the bar. Jax and Opie just sat there. Opie didn't trust himself not to want to hug and show his love for his cousin so it was best to just sit and act like a stranger. Andy had a clip board of paper work pretending she was doing something official when Jax couldn't resist and approached.

"Officer McNally." He smirked.

"Shut up." She smiled.

"A cop, never thought I'd see the day. Your old man must have done a number on you when you came back here." Never saying home, because he thought of Andy's home as being in Charming with him.

"Hey! A cop can come in hand in your line of work remember." Knowing they had the Chief of Charming Police on their payroll. "Although not when you have a partner like mine, sorry."

"Don't worry about it. We put in a call to our lawyer and we'll be out soon enough. Should you be seen speaking to me." Jax said looking up and noticing that they had an audience on the upper level staring down at them.

"It's fine, they know nothing." Andy said looking up to Sam and Marlo's glare. Andy laughing a bit that they looked like they belonged together with the matching scowls.

"Nothing about your past at all, huh Drea. You're a closed book to your partners up there." Noticing the way the guy was staring at her, was not something he was liking. He glanced back at Opie and signaled for him to look up. Opie saw and got a darker look on his face as well. He agreed that the detective's glare at Andy was more than work related.

"I don't talk about it, nobody knows." Andy said looking down at her fake paperwork, not noticing the exchange between her cousin and Jax over Sam.

"Excuse me " A lawyer walks up to him and Andy went backed away to let them do their business. Within a matter of minutes the lawyer had gotten Jax and Opie's release. Frank, Sam, Marlo, and Oliver had all come down to the floor for the release. Frank offering Jax his apologies for the inconvenience. Which Andy rolled her eyes at while Jax slyly smiled.

"Chief, I'm sorry but I don't really accept your apology. Especially when it's that Officer over there. 'nodding to Marlo' who needs to be the one to apologize. We'll be thinking of filing harassment charges and we'll also be thinking that this division is a problem full of dirty cops based on that one. At least you have one good cop, Officer McNally over there is the only reason and the only reason at all why we're not suing your division." Jax said strongly before nodding at Andy and walking out of the division with Opie following behind.
