Mared didn't really think her dilapidated little car would get her into the station so she couldn't help but feel relieved when the little car chugged into the police station car park. She killed the engine before just sitting there, gathering her thoughts. She had been looking forward to seeing the others, to getting back to work but now she wasn't so sure.

"Mared Rhys, what are you doing?" She muttered under her breath as the wind howled around the small car. She checked her mobile once before shoving it back in her coat pocket. She had known there would be no text messages or missed calls from him. She knew he saw her as weak, not the copper he thought she was. She cursed under her breath as she checked her image in the small mirror in her handbag. The bruises on her face had faded but she was sure the make up wouldn't fool the others.

Tom retired to the caravan in a foul mood. His best friend was returning to work for the first time since she had been beaten up and left for dead and what was he doing? Sulking.

He unlocked the caravan knowing that he would have to go back to work but also unsure how he could face his DI and the rest of the team. Slumping on the small bench just inside the door he hung his head in shame. It wasn't the first time he had let her down, he just hoped it wasn't the last.

"Shwmae." Mared walked into the office, throwing her red coat over the hook on the wall. "What we got then?"

"Welcome back." She smiled as Lloyd looked up. "Drug dealer managed to piss off someone bad enough that they killed him."

"Who?"

"Dunno yet."

"Lloyd. I mean who was the victim?"

"Right. John Morgan. 40, several previous convictions for drug trafficking and violence. Scum. Not exactly a great loss to Wales."

"Diolch Sian."

"Well."

"This the body Delyth and Lee found on that raid?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, Lloyd. See if Delyth sorry, DI Samuel can give us any background on the poor sod. Sian take me through what we have already." She sat down as Sian handed her the file.

"Ok." Sian paused. "Can I ask?"

"Go on."

"DCI Matthias. Is he coming back?"

"I dunno Sian." She sighed sadly. "I hope so."
