'Its time to open your presents!'
Neil, Jake and Pippa were sitting around the living room table with a birthday with freshly blown out candles in front of them. Jake had just turned 5 and He an pippa were happy.
He turned off the television and took the home video out of the VCR. Those times were absolutely fantastic. But since then so much had happened in his life. The woman he loved had been crushed under the rubble of Sun hill station. This son had gone to live woth his mother in southern spain and his best friend has been killed, and neil had been almost charged with his murder. Neil remembered that time well. Mickey had come from MIT to investigate him, along with his then Fiance, Liz. Liz, as it happened had turned out to be a mole, leaking information to the press. Just like andrea had done, except andrea was an undercover journalist. Mickey's heart had been broken by the betrayal of the woman that he loved, but then again so had neil when andrea had died in 2005. Mickey had once admitted to neil that he thought he would never find love again after Kate. Mickey had once fallen in love with Kate Spears (no relation of britney or Jamie-lynn) before she had died in a fire at sun hill station, but not the one that Andrea had died in. It was one before that.She too, like andrea had worked at sun hill. She was a detective in CID and Neil had know her well, although he only worked with her for a short period of time, she was a friend of Pippa, his then wife. Neil and mickey were alike in many ways. They were both detectives, both had investigated each other for offences thought to be commited by the other, but had lost the women they loved, both had lost touch with their family. But one thing that Mickey didn't have was a son. Or did he?
