Leaning back in the passenger seat his thoughts going back to the conversation before Kerry arrived when asking when it was going to happen the raiding of the clubhouses hearing the reply "first thing tomorrow, we are raiding two of them in the morning, then another two in the afternoon, we don't want to give them much warning we know drugs, weapons are coming in, we presume through the waterfront, there is a huge crackdown there too, criminal checks for all employees" moving away from them "you are going to tie up Tactical Response for at least a week or more in the raids" seeing them nod at him, he wanted Kerry in on this when he mentioned that they needed Kerry on this the stern "no, conflict of interest, we can't do this without the tactical compartment but Inspector Vincent is not to know the comings and goings of this investigation at the moment, the information we have is she is heavily involved with an Insigma bikie who is living with her" trying not to show his surprise he knew she was in a relationship and thought they still were but living together why did those few words just then bother him. Wanting to protect Kerry "he is has left the group a while ago" why didn't they believe him did they know more than what Kerry did "whether he is an ex or with them, he still can have an association with them, Kerry will get the information that is required for her and nothing more, we will not have any tip offs" shaking his head "she isn't like that"
The looks given they didn't believe him then, "what clubhouses are you raiding tomorrow" seeing them look at each other "that information will be available in the morning" "the clubhouses raided tomorrow is to be kept confidential" it seemed maybe they didn't trust him either
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo
Pulling up his bike outside base, leaning against it, despite it being nearly a year since he and Kerry started going out he will never get used to picking her up from Tactical Response the police base where she worked, was he really still going out with a copper, watching the goings inside the base the cars not there, except Kerry's he would prefer to wait outside looking around a smile on his face he never thought he would fall in love with a copper or when he went to the pub that night, but here he was living with her and not able to get enough of her
Pulling into the base, glancing around turning to Lawson "Kerry still going out with her bikie boyfriend?" shrugging at Stella "why don't you ask her?" shaking her head a smile on her face "I don't need to ask her, unless he is stalking her or they are just screwing each other"
Watching Kerry walk out of base, walking over to her "Kerry" turning around her eyes slightly raising her eyes at him, what did he want this time, waiting for him "yeah" looking at Kerry despite what happened that morning he was worried about her "just be careful, this new crack down on bikie groups, could be taken personally to you" looking up into his caring face why couldn't he just leave it "it's a crack down on all bikie groups Lawson not just the Insigma's what does it matter to you anyway" watching Lawson's eyes move to outside "isn't that your boyfriend there, you still going out?" turning to smile at Mick before facing Lawson raising her eyes "isn't his dick the reason I'm off this case, thought that would answer your question", seeing him leaning closer moving away from him "don't Lawson" moving away from her shit she is stubborn "just be careful, you know what they are like and tried before I wouldn't be surprised if they took this crackdown hard" moving closer to him her voice firm "they tried to rape me once Lawson a fact you can't seem to forget, they failed then and they will fail again" shaking his head "you won't have someone around you all the time to protect you Kerry" rolling her eyes at him putting her hand on his arm "you volunteering? you worry too much, I'm not a copper for nothing and since I have nothing to do with this case what does it matter"
Watching Kerry 's retreating back as she walks up to Mick, turning away as he leans down kissing her, should he be worried.
Feeling Kerry's lips upon his, his eyes moving above her head watching Lawson walk away "what was that about" shaking her head she didn't want to worry him "just police stuff, it doesn't matter" his eyes meeting Lawson there was something in them seeing them glare at him "is he jealous?" shaking her head "no….. not in the way you think" wrapping his arms around her "hmm because I am, you two are obviously very close yeah should I be worried?" looking up at him touching his face would she call them close "you have nothing to worry about, he is very protective of me, of the whole squad and a smart arse" turning her face to glance at him, despite it all she was still mad at him turning back to Mick feeling his hands under her shirt "what are you doing here?" looking around seeing them all leave as his lips meet hers quickly "felt like going for a ride so picked you up, want to take you somewhere special". Leaning against his back her arms around his waist she was in love with him she had tried not to be but she was would the Insigma's take any of this out on him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo
Leaning back on the passenger seat her eyes closing despite her non involvement in it all the paperwork was still piling up, the running sheets which Lawson usually does having to be completed, work she normally bought home to do to fill in the lonely nights, no longer needed instead curling up
on the couch next to Mick, trying to do as much work as she could here without the distraction at home brought out of her thoughts by Lawson's voice "sleeping on the job again Kerry" not even opening her eyes "I'm not sleeping, you can't even tell with my sunnies on" a smile on his face "you were practically snoring" moving her sunnies up her eyes moving sideways towards him "I don't snore" raising her eyes at him "yes you do" rolling her eyes at him "you wouldn't even know"
A smirk on his face "oh I remember Kezza, you snore like a chainsaw" shaking here head slightly her eyes glancing at him "you could of left" raising his eyes at her "you were lying on my arm I couldn't move, amazing I still had feeling on it afterwards" her eyes moving straight ahead "you were meant to go home, no one asked you to stay" his eyes moving towards her "that's not entirely correct Ker, you wanted me that night" her eyes looking straight ahead " yeah we all make mistakes" a laugh coming out of his mouth "that's not what you thought at the time"
Turning to look at Lawson "what's this about Lawson wanting to do it again, reminiscing, its creepy" watching her lean back on the seat "close your eyes and I'll creep you out even more" seeing her eyebrows raise what was he hoping to do, why did he bring it up did he actually want to sleep with her again was he jealous shaking his head slightly, it has to be he wants her to wake up to the fact that Mick wasn't good for her.
Answering her phone a smile on her face "yeah should be home about 6ish, just driving back to base now" leaning back on the chair would anything happen to Mick she knew most of them knew who she was and that he left the gang for her "you too" before hanging up.
Seeing Lawson look at her a smile on his face "not that you too that always means the person on the other end said I love you" raising her eyes at him "you know that for a fact do you" nodding at Kerry "yeah you say you too as you know someone is listening" turning to face Lawson "like listening to other people's phone calls do you?" a small laugh escaping from him "nah, only yours" a smile "bit hard when we are in the same car"
Glancing at Kerry as they drive along "going to tell him about the crack down, not even looking at Lawson "why the interest in Mick and my love life, jealous hey?" his eyes moving to Kerry "huh, when love is involved people have been known to lie?' shaking her head at Lawson "oh please like you have never lied, suppose you need a girlfriend first" shaking his head glancing at Kerry his voice serious " is he at risk over this" her eyes moving sideways at Lawson before looking ahead shrugging "I dunno, I doubt they will take any of this lightly" his eyes moving to Kerry "what are you going to do" his eyes moving quickly to Kerry "you don't think he is involved with them"
Her eyes straight ahead not answering Lawson a pause before shaking her head "no" glancing at Kerry "you sure of that" not looking at him was she sure that he had nothing to do with them before her eyes moving sideways at him "just leave it Lawson, just get over this obsession or what ever you want to call it with him" his eyes straight ahead "I'm worried about it Kerry and you, he is going to bring you down, you have to admit even you're not sure if he still has some involvement with them" her eyes straight ahead her voice firm " I'd know" not even looking at her "like you knew in the first place"
Her voice firm controlling the anger she was feeling towards him "it's different now" his eyes moving looking at her before going back on the road "why because you're in love with him, or you know him or because you are screwing him and don't' want to believe it" her voice growing louder "I know him Lawson and I trust him, give me some credit here instead of acting like some jealous boyfriend, I am in a relationship with him so get over it and used to it as it isn't going to change anytime soon if you have a problem with that keep it to yourself as I don't want to hear it"
Shaking his head at Kerry why can't she see it "of course you don't, just be careful both of you"
Nearing the base moving her head towards Lawson "have you raided the Insigma's yet?" looking straight ahead "you know I can't tell you that" turning around in her seat "you really think I'm corrupt and would let them know" his eyes not moving from straight ahead "no…" interrupting him "but" shaking her head as Lawson continues "no I don't think you would, but Mick, do you really believe he has no contact with them, what if you slip up and say something to him, he could warn them" her mouth set in a straight line her eyes ahead "what's to say I haven't already said something to him about the crackdowns" his eyes moving to look at her "I trust you Kerry" shaking her head interrupting him "shit you do, you're enjoying every minute of this, being in charge of it all, you really think I'd jeopardise the investigation"
His eyes moving at Kerry as they pull into the street where the base is the pause there, did he think she would, would she accidentally do it, hearing the pause before saying "no" seeing the glare on her face as they nearly pull into the base "not intentionally" her eyes glaring at him "you are so far up your own arse"
Opening the door of the car her eyes moving around before seeing Lawson get out, her voice low and full of anger "the slack I have given you all, turned a blind eye to stuff you have done, not following protocol, as from now it stops all of it, one step out of line for any of you and I will come down on you so hard" slamming the door walking away
Watching Kerry storm away maybe he had pushed her too hard, maybe he should of given her some lea way, watching as she comes back to her car not even looking at him before tearing out of base.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
Pulling up at her house her hands on the wheel of the car, banging the wheel, why can't people realize he is out she had been a cop long enough to know despite it all she couldn't give him up she had worked hard to get where she is now looking up at his bike in the driveway could she say 100% that he wouldn't warn them, shaking her head the niggling there damn Lawson the doubts there no Lawson was wrong why couldn't he give Mick a chance he didn't even know him.
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hearing her phone ring, moving away from Mick's arms around her, hanging up the phone curiosity there quickly getting dressed seeing Mick stir before moving over to him leaning down to kiss him "see you tonight"
Driving into base seeing Lawson there his eyes meeting hers walking over to her as she gets out of the car "what's this about Lawson" his eyes moving around "I'm sorry Kerry" her eyes boring into his showing no emotion nothing as her eyes raise slightly " is that it, is that what you wanted me to come in so urgently for" his eyes moving around before turning to the team "Shan, Christian TR2, Josh and Stel and Michael in TR1" turning to Kerry "Get your gun and vest, I'll explain on the way, I'm driving" walking away "you always were such a control freak" a smile on his face maybe she was over being made at her "look who's talking"
Leaning back on the seat her eyes moving to Lawson she was still mad at him and hurt, she wasn't going to show her vulnerability "I'm sorry for yesterday Kerry Yeah I don't like Mick and stuff" her eyes moving away from him "you don't even know him" glancing at her "we deal with people like him all the time" biting her lip not even looking at him her mouth in a straight line "people like him, he's not a criminal Lawson, his only crime was being in a bikie gang"
Shaking his head slightly why without even trying was he pissing her off why couldn't he shut up about him "A gang that has a notorious reputation, bringing in illegal weapons, drugs and involved in shootings, I know he's affecting your career, I don't want another fight with you that's not what this is about" her eyes moving out the car window "really, what is it about then"
Wanting to stop the car "we haven't raided the Insigma's they have had surveillance on the houses and the phone tapped" her eyes moving towards him "that's what you're doing today, the surveillance and phone taps were for me and Mick" his eyes looking straight ahead as she continues her voice rising slightly "how long have you known" biting his lips his eyes moving towards her seeing her jaw clenched her voice full of anger "how long" unable to look at her was this the final straw between them "I only found out last night" her eyes moving sideways "that's shit Lawson" his eyes moving to look at her "you're here now, I thought you'd want to be involved in this"
Turning away from Lawson where was the Senior Sergeant that she was used to, what was happening to them "you don't even trust me even now, where does that leave the team Lawson" the little voice inside of her adding "and us" wanting to stop the car "I do Kerry, why do you think you're here now" shaking her head "that's not the point"
Nearing the location "we're raiding Tanker's house" raising his eyes in surprise "I didn't know you realized where he lived" rolling her eyes at him "Mick has mentioned it, I've never been here" nodding at her "Shan is doing one of the other houses, Josh is doing the club house, the other houses don't need tactical response", turning to Kerry "ready" nodding at Lawson taking a deep breath she would be as ready as she ever would be.
