A/n: Well Crikey hasn't it been a while since I posted on here? I'm back with a new story for Scott and Bailey. So I was drunk when this idea happened and thanks to Pianoninja I am publishing and going to probably have three or four chapters. So yeah drunk midnight decisions I guess!

Peace out x

Rachel Bailey immediately regretted her decision to take a different route home. She'd taken it in broad daylight but never after after work drinks. However she was still fairly sober having drank heavily the night before so she felt it was safe enough to walk down the alleyway she usually took in daylight. She'd seen enough Criminal Minds with Taisie and Elise and enough dead bodies in real life to know that walking down a dark alley was a huge mistake but she was DC Rachel Bailey not just a typical everyday woman walking down dark allies and she knew how to save herself from anyone who thought they could outsmart a cop. After all in the words of DCI Gill Murray she knew how to commit murder and get away with it. Not that she'd again risk her detective career like she had when she used the PNC to find Nick Savage's address. So with that reassurance in mind the DC kept on making her journey home her heels clicking against the gravel.

Had only Rachel knew that walking down a dark alley was going to be the least of her problems, it was only when she reached the road to cross to home that in the dark of the night with only the full moon to give off light that she was about to face a man she thought she'd escaped, he pulled her back into the alleyway and shoved her against the wall. Rachel felt her head hit against the stone wall, which for a second altered her awareness of the situation she was in. For that moment Nick took advantage of her being unaware. As the realisation of the moment came back to her it was already happening. The detective managed to find inner strength to not let this man win and the feeling of adrenaline kicked in, "Get off me you bastard!" Rachel pulled his hair but he grabbed her wrists, "arghhh!" She bit his hand which automatically made Nick pull his hand back. The detective didn't look back to see if he was chasing after her. All she knew was she needed to be away from Nick Savage.

Meanwhile Mitch who had left the pub with a smile on his face was walking with his hands in his pockets and whistling to the tune of Karma Chameleon when he came across the silhouette of a body shaking. The closer he became he saw it was his colleague, "Rachel are you alright?" Mitch knelt down to her level and saw she had tear tracks running down her face, "what's happened?"

"Don't," Rachel pushed herself away from her male colleague and winced as the pain from her lower body overtook her ability to move.

"Come on we need to get you home," Mitch had a feeling he knew what had happened his police training told him to the call the police there and then but he also knew Rachel would want to be in the comfort of her own home.

...

Dom managed to drag himself away from the sofa as he heard a knock at the door. He waited until a second knock to answer. When he did he was greeted a man and his sister who didn't appear drunk but there was definitely something not right in his opinion.

"What's happened?" Dom asked as he approached his older sister and tried to touch her. However at his touch Rachel pulled away wrapping her arms around her to warm herself up.

"Dom I need you to be responsible now, in the kitchen get me a plastic bag and washing up gloves," Mitch ordered the youngest Bailey who had the same childlike sad eyes he shared with his sister, "Rachel I need you to change into some old clothes as you need to bag these up for evidence," Mitch pointed to her work clothes she had on.

"Rachel?" Dom tried to get a response out of his sister, the lack of emotion on her face started to freak him out, "Rachel?"

"I know it's tempting to take a shower but-"

"I know," Rachel finally spoke she still had tears rolling down her cheeks, "can one of you call my sister?" Rachel asked with that sound of childlike innocence. Never would she normally call her sister. In fact she avoided telling her sister stuff given Alison clucked around her but right now there was something about Alison that seemed to make her feel safe right now.

Half an hour passed and Mitch had phoned multiple times Alison and Janet. Janet was clearly asleep and so was Alison, "Alison it's Mitch from MIT I've...I don't really want to say it down the phone but I think it's a good idea you phone your sister...she's...I've phoned Janet as well but she's."

Dom came over and sat next to his shaking sister who was on the sofa in pyjama bottoms and a top. The back of her head was throbbing and her lower body was aching, "I made you a tea," he said as he sat forward and put the steaming hot mug on the table, "what's...what happened?"

"I really don't want to talk about it," Rachel replied as she breathed in heavily and shook her head. Mitch came back into the living room shaking his head, "where are they?" Rachel ran her hands down her face as the frustration of her sister and best friend not picking up came over her.

"Are all the clothes bagged up?" Mitchel asked Dom who was darting his head back and forth looking at his sister and at Mitch.

"Yeah," Dom replied but he kept his attention on his sister, "are we...who do we call? Aren't you guys...I don't know what to do...who do you call you're police yourself?"

"Police please," Mitch told the operator down the phone before being connected to a man who read out the number on the phone before talking, "I want to report a sexual assault...around ten pm, it's DC Ian Mitchell from MIT Syndicate 9. Her names Rachel Bailey...DC Rachel Bailey."

Mitch had taken Rachel down to the station Dom had come with them but he was confused. Most of the time it was Dom having an issue and Rachel would either sort it out or make it feel so much less traumatising. With roles reversed now he was having to be strong and he reverted back to a child.

Meanwhile Taisie had woken up to her mum's phone vibrating the violent rattle of the phone was rather annoying and she had school in the morning. So sneaking into her mum's room to answer the phone was the only she could stop the vibrating.

"Mum," Janet felt someone shaking her awake and Taisie's voice as she started to come round from her slumber, "mum it's Mitch he's phoning you," Taisie held her phone in her mum's face and the bright lights made Janet's eyes hurt.

"Hello?" Janet asked rather groggily but her eyes shot open when Mitch told her where he was and who he was with, "is Rachel ok?"

"I don't want to do this down the phone...I've been trying to get hold of Alison but she's not picking up...Rachel could do with some female support," Mitch looked over at his colleague who is looking rather terrified. The amount of times she deals with victims. Never did she think she'd become a victim.

Rachel went through the examinations alone with only the woman who she had came across once to talk to but that was to talk to her about a victim. Not that Rachel wanted to talk she was currently in such a state the she couldn't get her words out. Never did she expect Nick Savage to get his revenge in this way despite nearly killing her but to do this felt like she was never going to recover from this. There was one part of her that wanted to shut down and hide from the world and another part that she wanted to get home and go to bed and go on as normal, "Mitch," Rachel walked over to her brother and sat down next to her brother and looked up at the man who had saved her from making mistakes, "thank you."

"Janet's on her way," Mitch saw the relief on Rachel's face, "and she also said she's staying at yours...do you need anything for the pain?"

At that moment Janet arrived through the double doors and looked over at her best friend who looked like she could collapse in someone's arms, "is someone going to fill me in?"
