An - thanks for reading.

"Here you go." Jake handed her a mug of coffee as she sat on the sofa in his living room watching TV.

"Cheers." She took it with a small smile as he sat down beside her. He held his arm out for her to snuggle into him which she did automatically.

"What we watching?" He asked.

"It was Friends but Henry's press conference is on in a second."

"Is he speaking about the re-trial?"

"Yeah."

Henry then appeared in the screen saying how the re-trail would go ahead and he had his two best lawyers on the job. He also said he believed Scarrow was still guilty. He reassured everyone justice would continue to be served.

"Do you think the jury will believe us?" Kate asked him leaning forward to put her mug on the coffee table before leaning back into him.

"It's our job to make them believe us..." He replied.

"True. We have a meeting with Ronnie in the morning to go over the case."

"Yay."

"You sound so excited."

"Not how I would want to spend my morning..."

"And how would you spend it?"

"With you. It's never just us..."

She looked up at him. "I know I know. But what can we do about it?"

"We could..."

"We can't tell them Jake. Not yet. I'm not ready..." she cut him off knowing where he was going.

"Katie, what are you scared of?" He spoke softly.

"I'm scared they won't understand..."

"Understand what?"

"That I am with you cos I love you not because I want promotion." She explained. "You know what it's like in our business Jake. I don't want people getting the wrong idea."

"Ok." He sighed. "I know. We won't tell them. But that doesn't mean I am happy about all our sneaking around..."

"Me neither. We will tell them...but not yet. Till then, we should get some sleep." She got to her feet taking his hand leading him up the stairs to bed.

It was early morning, Kate and Jake were asleep. They both woke suddenly as a brick came flying through the bedroom window.

"Shit." Jake cursed as glass shattered everywhere.

"The hell was that?" Kate struggled into a sitting up position.

Jake got out of bed, careful not to step on any glass. He found the brick on the floor with a piece of paper attached to it with an elastic band. "There's a note on it..." He said picking it up.

"What's it say?" Kate asked pulling the bed sheet around her more as the room was freezing because of the broken window.

"The CPS must put right the mistake. Adam Scarrow did not kill his brother..." He read. "The rest of it is in...whats that Welsh?" He showed her the piece if paper.

"How should I know?"

"We need to call Ronnie..." He saw her eyes widen. "We don't have a choice..."

"I know..." She nodded getting out of bed finding some clothes. "I just thought we'd be a secret a bit longer..."

"Careful." He quickly grabbed her arm as she stumbled nearly falling onto the broken glass. She looked up from the floor making eye contact. He touched her face before placing a kiss on her lips. "Come on..."

She smiled. "This should be interesting..."
