Chapter One
"Smithy... hey wait up..." the small blonde called to the tall Inspector. He turned and flashed her a huge grin "You ok Moss?" he asked. "Yeah... the super needs to see us both ASAP... says its urgent". Smithy nodded "Ok... I'll be along in a few minutes" he grinned, watching the small blonde walk away, he had always had a soft spot for her. She was beautiful, smart, witty and the only woman in his dreams. He stepped into his office for a few minutes, he couldnt block her from his mind. He eyed the huge package resting on his desk and moved towards it but hearing his phone buzz in his pocket he pulled it out and seeing Jacks name flash on the screen he sighed before heading out of the office and towards the stairs. When he arrived outside the office Stevie was waiting for him "What have you done this time to get us in trouble Moss?". She laughed "Me... I think it would be you who is a bad influece Inspector Smith..." she gestured to the door "You ready to find out" he nodded and she banged loudly on the door and the two officers stood nervously waiting for a reply. When the door opened they both jumped slightly as Neil gestured inside. They both walked in and glanced from Jack to a tall man standing in the corner of the room. He had on a sharp black suit with short blonde hair, spiked in an unusual fashion for someone looking so smart. He was holding onto a huge folder which both officers looked at very nervously. "This is John Green... he is from witness protection..." Jack spoke and both officers turned to face him "Witness protection.. what has that got to do with us?" Smithy asked glancing at the man once again. "D'you remember Jason Devlin?" Neil asked from where he stood in the door way. The Inspector nodded "Of corse... what is going on?" he asked, he was getting aggitated. "Smithy he was being transferred to another prison and the van was attacted... he has escaped". Smithy looked shocked and he noticed Stevie smile at him slightly before turning her attention to the man all infront of her "So what? I mean he is most probably on his way to Spain or some where by now..." Neil interupted "Unfortuantly he was tracked to Sunhill and now he has gone to ground...". Smithy remained in silence listening to the officers talking. "He has some very disturbing things in his cell and we believe his main reason for escaping is revenge.. and that you Inspector Smith is his target" John began. Smithy shook his head "So you think he is coming after me?". Jack nodded before resting againt the desk infront of him "We believe he intends to kill you Smithy... we need to put you into protection...". Smithy stood up "No... Im not running.." Jack interupted "Smithy.. he is after you... he will not rest until he gets his revenge or we get him back behind bars...". Smithy headed to the door "No.. Im.." John cut in causing the Inspector to glare at him "With all due respect Inspector its not only you at risk... we have had officers go through his cell and talk to his cell mate.. he has completly lost the plot and if you stay here you and anyone you care about will be in imidiate danger... he is a dangerous man". Smithy nodded "Do you not think I know that... for Christ sake look what he did to Stevie..." he glanced at the small blonde who was sitting in silence, which was something very unusual for her. She was staring at him and he could read in her eyes something was wrong "Whats up Stevie?" he asked softly. "I.. er I recieved a letter... I thought it was nothing.." Jack interupted "Do you still have it?". She nodded pulling it from her pocket "It only came this morning... I thought it was nothing but now.." She passed it to Neil and he opened it and looked at the words "Bang... what the hell does that mean?" he asked. Stevie shook her head and Smithy sighed "I have a package in my office, it came this morning... I havent had a chance to open it". Neil made his way from the room, followed by John who was talking about making a call. "Stevie... have you recieved anything else?" Jack asked as he closed the door. "No.. thats it but..." she paused glancing at Smithy before back to Jack "It came to my home..." Smithy felt fear run through him as he moved to the small blonde, he rested down infront of where she sat "Its ok.. I wont let him hurt you again Moss". Jack smiled "Stevie.. I think you should be placed in protection with Smithy... we need you both safe and away from Sunhill". Smithy glared up at him "Are you placing us together?". Jack nodded "Yes.. we have a cottage set up for you". Smithy nodded "Fine.. we will have to go and pack". Stevie smiled "Smithy... you dont have to do this..". He nodded "I will protect you". He rose to his feet holding his hand out to her and Jack cut in "I dont think it is safe for you to return home... he could be waiting.. you need to go now... go and get your spare clothes from your lockers... and I will sort out the information for you".
Once outside the office the two colleagues smiled slightly as Neil headed for them "Your package is being sent to bomb squard Smithy... we need to be sure... we will let you know what is in it.." he gestured down the corridor "John is waiting in the canteen... you have no time for goodbyes.. get your things and go". Smithy turned to Stevie as Neil went into Jacks office and pulled the door shut "Do you get the feeling there is something they arent telling us?". Stevie gulped slightly "Smithy.. I am scared.. and I mean really scared..". He pulled her into a slight hug "Dont be.. I promise you... I will look after you Stevie.. he wont hurt you". She nodded slightly "Come on.. lets get our stuff". He had walked her to the female locker rooms before going into the room oppisite to his locker. Once inside he smiled to a few officers that were leaving before banging his fist against his locker "Easy mate... you will put a dent in it" Callums voice made him jump slightly and he turned to the muscular man behind him "Dont Stone.. I am having a bad day". Callum rested down onto a bench in the centre of the room "Whats going on... the amount of armed police here.. its unbelievable". Smithy shook his head "I dunno... I gotta go" he got his things from his locker before making his way out of the locker room, he knocked slightly on the female locker room door before pushing the door open "Who are you talking to?" he asked glaring at Stevie. "My Mum Smithy... I cant just disapear.." he interupted "You know how this works.. no contact.." she said goodbye before hanging her mobile up. "Are you ready?" he snapped, not meaning to sound so harsh towards her but she knew the rules as well as him. Stevie nodded "Yeah.." he watched as she slunk past him and he grabbed her wrist "Stevie..." he paused as she forced her eyes to meet his "I am really sorry... I didnt mean to snap". She shook her head "Its fine come on".
Arriving back outside Jacks office the two knocked and waited to be called inside. Once inside Jack gestured to the table "Keys... you will know where you are going when you get there...". Smithy smiled "Thank you Sir.." the two headed to the door and Jack smiled "Hang on.. Stevie.. why dont you go and wait in the canteen.. Smithy.." he gestured back inside and towards a seat before shuting the door. "Smithy nobody can know where you are going... we believe there is a bent officer working with Devlin". Smithy nodded slightly "I gathered something was up". Jack smiled "Just make sure you keep your wits about you because it could be anyone.." he gestured to the door and Smithy knew instantly what he was implying. "No.. there is no way on Gods earth she would set me up". Jack smiled "I know that you and Stevie are close... and I highly doubt she is involved but just be carefull" he held his hand out which Smithy shook it before stepping outside "Look after yourself... and her" he smiled as Smithy began down the corridor.
A few hours passed before Smithy and Stevie arrived at the small cottage, he was sure it wouldnt usually take this long to get from London to where ever it was they were but the man driving them had either got lost a lot or purpossly been driving round in circles. The journey had been very quiet and Stevie was a shadow of her normal self. As they climbed from the car they glanced down the empty track "We are in the middle of no where mate..." Smithy asked "Where do we go from here?". The driver shook his head "No idea... I was told to drop you here". Smithy sighed as he drove off leaving them standing alone "I will ring Jack.. find out what is going on". Stevie nodded and he stepped away from where she had rested down onto the ground taking a quick glance at the small blonde. "Jack..." he began but the Super interuped "Are you there?". Smithy laughed "We are in the middle of fucking no where Gov... where do we go now?". Jacks reply was short and to the point "About half a mile back down the road there is a dirt track on the left... your cottage is up there... Cherry Tree Cottage.. I will be in touch" and with that the phone line went dead. He turned back to Stevie as she sat tapping away on her phone "What you doing Moss?" he asked and she smiled "Playing a game.. where now?". He pointed down the road "For a hike".
Arriving at the cottage they both stared at it, it was truely a beautiful sight and for the first time that day he felt a genuine smile trace his lips. "Home sweet home" she grinned and he nodded slightly as he pushed the key Jack had given him into the lock. As they stepped inside they were greeted by a huge living room. He smiled at the small log fire "I will get that going in a minute". The cellings were low and the walls decorated in a light brown, with a few personal touches. The two made there way through into the kitchen which compared to the rest of the cottage was very modern and Stevie made her way straight to the kettle "I need a coffee" she flicked it on and began searching through the cupboards. He carried on his way through the cottage opening the final door "Stevie..." he called and she appeared behind him within a few seconds "There is only one bedroom". She glanced inside and gestured to a small door "Whats that?" she asked moving to it and pulling it open "Bathroom" she spoke turning back to him before looking at the tiny double bed "Well this could get a bit intimate". He shook his head "I will sleep on the sofa.." he headed back out into the hall heading for the kitchen "Dont be daft Smithy.. we are both adults.. and we have shared a bed before". He smiled "Its fine..." she interupted "Whats going on with you Smithy... you have been so quiet and off with me all day?". He rested down at the small kitchen table "Im just watching my back Stevie". She stared at him "What is that ment to mean... this is me Smithy..". He sighed "I know... but Devlin has someone working for him and I have to suspect everyone". Her face fell and he could see tears forming in her eyes "Oh Wow... I erm.. I cant believe after everything we have been through together... you dont trust me". He watched her disapear from the room and he sighed, now he felt awful and deep down he knew Stevie was the one person he could rely on, he couldnt doubt her, could he?
He knocked lightly on the bedroom door and smiled at her, she wiped her eyes and he sighed "I am so sorry... I didnt mean for you to think that I dont trust you Stevie" he moved over and rested down next to her "You are my best friend.. and probably the only person I can trust". She shook her head staring up into his eyes "Today has been a complete rollercoaster for me to Smithy... but I still know I can trust you with my life and that you would never hurt me". He sighed "I dont know what else I can say to make you forgive me". She glanced down "And I dont know how else to make you trust me Smithy". He smiled at her and she was staring at him, her eyes trying to read his, before he had a chance to react she was kissing him, passionatly, her hands pulling at his shirt, her tounge begging for entrance.
