Sorry this has taken so long I couldn't decide where to go with it and for the slight repeat at the beginning.

Kerry opened her bag reaching inside for the diary. She caught hold of it but paused for a moment unsure whether this was still a good idea. She had kept this secret for so long now that it was second nature, well most of the time. Could she really break her months of silent's and to Inspector Gold the woman who had no problem in showing Kerry exactly what she really though of her? And what could she do about it? She might not even believe me. Kerry was then struck with fear, what if she doesn't? Then if she didn't could she really go on and face that person everyday knowing that Inspector Gold thought her capable of lying about something like that? She is going to compare this to what happened with Smithy. She couldn't think anymore it hurt too much so instead Kerry looked up expectantly at her Inspector studying her face trying to dissever what she was thinking. "Did she believe me?" Kerry thought to her self. Gina was now looking down to Kerry's bag. "Well it's now or never," she thought producing the diary and hesitating for just a second before handing it over.

Gina took the diary although she looked uncomfortable receiving it and held it gently in her hands. She looked like she didn't know what to do with it and she was just staring at the front cover as off in a daydream.

Kerry spoke bring Gina out of her thoughts and back into the room, "I started it the day after Gabriel raped me, and so even if I forgot it would be there if I ever needed to remember. Please read it, don't make me. That why I went back for it. So I wouldn't have to."

Gina slowly opened the front cover to reveal pages and pages of Kerry's writing. Her writing started a couple of pages in written in black biro. Gina wasn't sure if she wanted to read the secrets hidden in these pages but Kerry had come to her for help so she was going to do the best she could to give her some

"I wonder what they are talking about; they have been in there almost an hour now." PC Andrea Dunbar said nervously to PC Yvonne Hemmingway. Yvonne looked at Andrea puzzled by her tone. They had been stood around the corner from Inspector Gold's office for the best part of ten minuets sneaking glances in through the open blinds. But their efforts remained unrewarded only seeing the back of Kerry's head and Inspector Gold reading something. Although they seem serious neither PC had any ideas on what was being said or read for that matter.

"PC Dunbar and Hemmingway is there any particular reason why you are stood here chin wagging."

"No, sir." They replied in unison and quickly returned to where they where meant to be. Smithy smiled at the two PC's who were now heading of in different directions and wonder if they had been talking about Kerry. His thoughts then drifted off to Kerry sat worrying beside her father's bedside (or so he thought.) He was so deep in thought that he didn't glance into Gina's office like he normally did when he passed and missed what was taking place inside.

It was almost an hour later, Inspector Gold sat staring into the open book on her lap. She had moved back to her chair behind her desk. She had finished reading it over five minuets ago but still could not bring herself to look up. She just kept replaying a conversation she'd had with Smithy earlier that day.

"Smithy, word" Gina insisted whilst holding the door to her office open so he could step inside. Once he had taken a seat in front for her she took a deep breath he was not going to like what she was about to say to him and by the look on his face he knew it to. "Smithy," she said again sounding apologetic. "You can't carry on like this I know you have feelings for Kerry but you really can't,"

Smithy cut directly cross Gina. "Feelings, you think I just have feelings for Kerry," he paused for a moment and a smile appeared on his face, "I love her."

"What," Gina couldn't believe her ears. Love he couldn't, not her. Gina just sat dumb struck staring unbelievingly at him. Did he not know her at all?

In fact he was the only one who really did know her. He knew her as the old bubbly Kerry and refused to let her go. Gina saw now just how wrong she had been and felt amazingly guiltily that she had firstly judged Kerry as a bad egg and secondly she had remained oblivious to everything that had happened to her and she hadn't done anything to protect her. She couldn't believe the motherly feeling she was having towards Kerry. She'd never had feeling like this towards anyone, ever. All she wanted to do was to get up and give her a hug and some reassurance but she stayed glued to the chair just staring endlessly into the book thinking. After everything she put him though he still loved her. Gina had never understood this, until now. Gina had read the diary and she realised just how much control and fear Gabriel had been able to generate for himself. And Kerry, she had been left, terrified, in his mercilessly cruel grip.

Almost an hour after Smithy had caught Andrea and Yvonne Andrea past Inspector Gold's office again she looked into find Kerry and Inspector Gold in exactly the same positions they had been in an hour ago. Kerry's meeting with Inspector Gold had been on Andrea's mind for the passed hour she had been distracted and had barely made a dent in the mountain of paper work she had to complete. As she passed the Inspector's office she slowed down so that she would have longer to look in. She wanted to try and suss out what was being said without drawing attention to herself. But what she saw made her stop and just stare in. Nothing was being said. Kerry and Inspector Gold were sat in silent. This troubled Andrea. Why were they sat in silents? What if Kerry had told Inspector Gold about her being a journalist or of her affair with Neil? What would she do? This where the questions going through her mind as she made her way towards the front of the station.

Gabriel Kent had been watching the front of Sunhill police station gun poised he had watched heart racing and sweat was rolling down his forehead. He quickly wiped it away with the sleeve of his shirt not wanting to be distracted from the scene below. He had watched patiently as five taxes had pulled up and its passengers got out but not one of these people was Kerry. He looked down at his watch time was going extremely slowly for him but he was still surprised to see that he had been sat there waiting for the last two hours. She couldn't possibly take this long to get here from the hospital and started to pull his gun of the ledge when he saw her. She wasn't Kerry but she might as well have been. Maybe she was there for a reason maybe he was meant to shoot her instead. Gabriel wasn't normal one for acting on impulse normal he would calculate every move carefully and only act this rashly when he was backed into a corner but this was an opportunity not to be missed and it would also serve as the scare Kerry needed to save herself. So he took aim and fired.

BANG.

BANG.

The sound of a shot rang though the station. Gina looked up and was surprised to see just how far Kerry had jumped at the sound.

"Marm, a shot was fired into the front of the station." DC Rob Thatcher said before running of down the corridor towards the front of the building. Gina and Kerry followed quickly and halted just behind him and PC Andrea Dunbar.

"What's happening, is anybody hurt."

Andrea turned to her Inspector to answer her question, "June, Marm, Smithy is out front with her they are behind a car now. The super is on his was down."

Suddenly there was another shot and Kerry collapsed into DC Thatcher's arms.
