Speeding through the streets of Canley, PC Leon Taylor was in the passenger seat with Sergeant Callum Stone in the driving seat. Their sirens of their car were making their presence known to the traffic getting in their way. They finally pulled up at the street they had been called to. Callum and Leon got out the car.

'Sierra Oscar from 30, we've arrived at the disturbance at 40 Rector Street. The front door is wide open. Me and 437 will check the property out, over.' Callum called into CAD.

'Received.' CAD got back to him.

Callum led Leon up the path, both of them flicking their batons out. Callum pushed the door open, indicating Leon to check upstairs. Callum checked downstairs, but found nothing out of place.


Leon got upstairs and started checking the rooms. He opened the door to the bedroom and found a mid-twenties woman tied to the bed and gagged.

'Sarge!' Leon called.

Leon dashed to the woman's side and tried to untie the rope round her wrists. Callum dashed into the room and helped Leon to free the woman.

'Are you alright?' Callum checked with the woman.

The woman nodded, a little petrified.

'We'd like to take you to St Hugh's to get checked over. Can you tell us your name?' Callum tried to be gentle.

'Lucy…Lucy Roberts.' Lucy was nervous.

'Alright, Lucy. You're safe now.' Callum smiled weakly.

Callum helped her up and they led her out the house.

'Sierra Oscar from 30, can we have another unit to 40 Rector Street? We need to preserve the crime scene whilst we take the victim to St Hugh's, over.' Callum called in.

'30 from 876, we're on our way, ETA 5 minutes.' PC Nate Roberts called back.

'Thanks, Nate.' Callum replied.

Callum helped Lucy into the back of the car. The two officers got into their car and drove away towards St Hugh's.


Lucy was sat on a bed and checked over by a nurse.

'Your injuries seem fine, just a bit of bruising.' The nurse smiled weakly at Lucy.

'I can go?' Lucy hoped.

'Yeah. You can be discharged. The police wanted to talk to you once you'd been checked over.'

The nurse opened the curtains and left Lucy on her own. Lucy pulled her trainers back on and stood on her feet just as Callum and Leon walked over.

'Everything alright?' Callum saw she was edgy.

'I have to go. I need to know the house is alright. It's not even mine.' Lucy was nervous.

'Whose is it?' Callum asked.

'My Auntie's. She let me stay there whilst she was on holiday in Majorca.' Lucy shrugged.

'Just take a seat for a second.' Callum was stern.

Lucy sat on the bed. Callum sat next to her.

'Why are you so eager to get away?' Callum was curious.

'You won't believe me. No one does.' Lucy looked at the floor.

'You won't know that unless you tell me.' Callum softened up.

'I was attacked in that house because a family member crossed them. He doesn't even know I'm in London.' Lucy held her head in her hands.

'This was revenge for something?' Leon was concerned.

'Yeah, but I don't know for what. That's what the guy said. This was a revenge hit.' Lucy groaned a little.

'Did you see the guy's face?' Callum hoped.

'Yeah, I think so.' Lucy shrugged.

'Would you be up to coming to Sun Hill to identify him for us?' Callum almost pleaded with her.

'Whoa. Whoa. No, no, no. I can't do that.' Lucy stood up and stared walking away.

Callum and Leon followed, trying to catch up to her. They found her out the front of St Hugh's, panicking.

'Lucy, what is it?' Callum tried to calm her down.

'He said he'd go after my brother if I did anything! I can't identify him, no way.' Lucy was starting to get mad.

'Why don't we call your brother? We could talk to him, alert him to the danger. We can help both of you.' Callum didn't want to let her go.

'That's even worse!' Lucy nearly snapped at him.

'How is it worse? He could help you. We could help you.' Leon was on the same wavelength as Callum.

'Because he's one of you! He's a Met officer!' Lucy yelled.

Callum and Leon looked at each other. Callum helped Lucy sit on a bench.

'Then he knows the risks, right? We should talk to him. What's his name?' Callum spoke quietly yet sternly.

'Nate. His name is Nate Roberts, a PC at Sun Hill.' Lucy gave in.

'Your brother is Nate?' Leon was shocked.

'You know him?' Lucy was shocked.

'Lucy, we're from Sun Hill. Nate is one of our officers.' Callum informed her.

Lucy stared at them in shock, not quite processing how close Nate was.

'Leon, would you take Lucy to the car? I'll call Nate to meet us at the station.' Callum ordered.

Leon carefully guided Lucy to the car. Callum pulled out his phone and called Nate.

'Nate? You still at the house?' Callum checked.

'Yeah. Eddie's checking the place out.' Nate agreed.

'I need you to meet me and Leon at the station.'

'What for, Sarge?'

'Your sister, Lucy, was the woman attacked in the house. We're taking her to the nick. She said she could identify the guy, but as soon as I mentioned we wanted her to do that, she freaked and told us the guy threatened her brother would get hurt if she did anything.'

'I'll meet you at the nick. Are you gonna get her to the soft interview room?'

'Yeah. We'll meet you back at the nick.'

Callum hung up and headed to the car, his thoughts clouded by what could happen.
