It had been 6 months since the rruth came out about Danny Latimer's murderer.

Ellies, and her two sons, Tom and Freddie had since moved back into the family home, planning on moving away.


Alec was still at the police station, although, due to his ill health he was on rubbish cases. His latest however, was a car theft.

He was working late one Tuesday evening.

"Alec are you even listening?!"

Alec looked up and stroked his chin. "Yuh" he replied ignorantly. Even though he wasnt, he was thinking about her again. Lately he couldnt get her out of his mind.

"Alec?!"

"What?!" He snapped.

"Rodrick case files...!?"

Alec sighed and pushed himself across his room on his chair and rattled through his filling cabinets. "here"

"Thanks"

"Does anyone know about Miller yet?! Is she being kept on?!" Alec asked as he slid back behind his desk.

"No idea, better get back" the man smiled politely and left Alec's office.

Alec started furiously typing away when his phone rang. He picked it up from his desk and saw who it was, instantly answering. "Ellie?!"

"Someones throwing bricks through our windows" she cried.

Alec could here the terrified cries of Tom and Freddie.

"Hide, i'll be there soon..." he stood up and ran out of his office, rounding up a team of officers.

When Alec got there he rushed into Ellies house the back way. The police officers trying to find the people.

"ELLIE?!" Alec yelled as he raced up stairs. He bounced around the rooms, to find the three of them huddled behind Ellie's bed. Alec dived over the bed, "its OK, your safe now" he said softly bending down in front of a terrified Tom.

As if on cue a bottle smashed through the bedroom window, the bottle was full of beer and was set slight.

"OUT!" Alec yelled grabbing hold of Tom and Ellie, (who was clutching Freddie) and dragging them out of the room. "OUT NOW" they all ran downstairs as the bedroom set alight and dived out of the back door.

"Anyone hurt?!" Alec asked worridley.

Tom carried on running. Terrified.

"TOM" Ellie screamed.

Alec shoved his keys at Ellie, "get to my car! GO" Alec than sprinted off after Tom.

"TOM!? TOM!?" Alec carried on running after him. Into the woods.

Tom was squatted behind a tree, crying his eyes out.

Alec slowed down and caught his breathe, "Tom" he said soflty crouching in front of him.

"Its all dads fault" he cried.

"We dont know that yet" Alec softly put his hands on Toms shoulder.

"i found this, on one of the bricks" tom cried handing a peace of paper to Alec.
