Chapter Three
He stood staring around the office "Right your accomadation will be ready once the interview is finished.. if you meet Callum he can pass the keys on to you". Smithy nodded "I understand Sir". Jack smiled "Good.. you need to go home and get some of your things packed.. we dont know how long you will be undercover Smithy". He nodded once again "Sir". Jack stood up and held his hand out to the young Inspector "Good luck Smithy..." he watched as he made his way to the door "Oh and Smithy..." he turned back to face the older man "It goes without saying I expect you and Stevie to remain proffesional at all times... I dont want nothing to stop us convicting Greg Cross". Smithy nodded slightly "Yes Gov". Smithy made his way down to the male locker rooms and changed from his uniform, he turned as the door closed behind him "Well?" Callum asked. Smithy grinned "Im in". Callum nodded holding his hand out to him "You need anything mate... give me a call". Smithy nodded "You have gotta meet me later with the keys to my new place... once they have set the cameras up". Callum nodded "Ok.. I will go and see Meadows he is gunna need an Acting Inspector". Smithy smiled as Callum left the room, he knew there must me a reason behind Callums interests and he didnt care that the Sergeant was after his job all he cared about was protecting Stevie.
Arriving at the club Smithy glanced round before his eyes fell on Stevie behind the bar. "Hello gorgeous" he grinned as he rested down on a bar stool. She lent foward "What the hell are you doing here?" she whispeared. "Im here to see Greg... I have a job interview". Her mouth dropped open "You are joking... doing what?". He opened his mouth to reply but paused as the voice from accross the club called him "Smithy.. come through" he pushed off the bar stool and made his way accross the club, he shook Gregs hand and Greg turned his attention to Stevie "Some drinks when you are ready Stevie". She nodded slightly as the two men disapeared. She poured two shots of Whiskey into the glassess and placed them and the bottle to a tray before smiling to the young girl behind the bar "I will be back in a minute... can you get them bottles changed?" she asked pointing up to the bottles on the wall, the girl shook her head "How?". Stevie sighed as she placed the drinks back to the bar and began to show the new girl what to do. She knocked on the office door and stood waiting "Come in" Greg called. She pushed the door open and walked in and placed the drinks to the desk. "Stevie Cox.. Damian Smith you two are gunna be working together". Stevie sighed "I wasnt aware there was staff needed". Greg smiled "That is because I am the boss and your not... come here". She walked round the desk and Smithy had to force himself to remain in the chair as Greg grabbed her by the throat. "Now... Im only gunna say this once Stevie so I will make it clear.. Smithy is the new head of security... and what ever he wants and needs you make sure it is available for him". She nodded as best she could with his hand tightening round her throat. "Now get there bar cleaned Stevie". He pushed her towards the door and Smithy smiled at her slightly as she shut the door. "She knows her place.. what ever you need". Smithy nodded "Thanks.. so when do I start?". Greg glanced at the large clock hanging on the wall "In about an hour and a half... so I suggest you go and get yourself in a suit". Smithy nodded before rising to his feet, he shook Gregs hand and made his way to the door.
Once back out in the bar he walked over and smiled to Stevie "You ok?". She nodded slightly "I have a break in ten minutes..
meet me in the cafe on Brocker street". He nodded and made his way out the door. He walked for a couple of minutes before he arrived at the cafe, he walked in and rested down at a table in the far corner, he ordered a coffee and sat and waited. She appeared about twenty minutes later and rested down oppisite him "What are you doing Smithy?" she asked glaring at him. He lent accross the table "Cross offered me a job last night in the club and Specialist Crimes thought it was too good a chance to pass up". She shook her head "So nothing to do with you wanting to keep tabs on me". He smiled to the waitress as Stevie ordered a drink "No.. cause despite what you think Stevie... the whole world doesnt revolve around you". She glared at him "So what were you and Stone doing in the club in the first place?". Smithy smirked "Having a drink... someone said there were some fit girls working there". She glared at him as he ran his eyes down her cleavege. "You are unbelievale". He laughed "Im joking Stevie.. Im here to support you too... so if you could at least pretend to like me... it might help a bit". She took a final sip from her coffee and smiled at him "I have to go.. see you later".
He changed into his suit and smiled to Callum as he sat on the sofa of his new flat, it was nothing compared to his own place but a step up from where they had put him when he was undercover with the gunrunners a few years ago. "You sure you want to do this?" Callum asked. Smithy nodded "I have to mate" he gestured to the front door and the two men made there way from his new home and the cameras before he paused. "I think Greg has hit Stevie... he grabbed her by the throat while I was there". Callum shook his head "Then you need to pull her out... you are a senior officer.." Smithy interupted "You know as well as I do it will blow the case... and after working on it for three months Stevie will never forgive me". Callum sighed "You cant leave her in there if she is in danger". Smithy smiled "Im gunna protect her". Callum began following Smithy as he made his way down the road "Are you doing this for the case... or for Stevie?" Callum asked. Smithy smiled slightly "What do you think Callum... I have to go.. I will ring you tomorrow and update you".
He stood on the door of the club for a few hours checking ID's and breaking up the few fights that took place outside. Smithy decided to cheek the inside and leaving the two other bouncers on the door he began the stairs leading to the bar. He stood and glanced round at the men sitting at tables, a few women dancing on the dance floor, athough it was a strip club at the weekends it was open to anyone. He noticed a young lad making his way round the tables and clocked what he was doing within seconds, he made his way to where Greg stood behind the bar with Stevie. "You've got a dealer.." he began gesturing to the young lad. Greg nodded "He is one of mine... if he gets to visable let me know.. otherwise he carries on with his business". Smithy smiled slightly "Are there any others?". Greg nodded to Stevie "She can tell you which ones are ment to be in here... cant you Stevie?". She nodded slightly "Of corse". Greg smiled "I will be in the back office if Im needed otherwise you are in charge Smithy". Stevie glared at him as Greg left "You have stole my job". He shook his head "Im a door man Stevie not a bar man". She nodded "And I have spent the last three months gaining his trust so that he left me in charge". Smithy smirked "And it aint even took me three hours... that must of pissed you off a bit". She glared at him before walking down to the bar girls.
Smithy began walking round the club looking for anyone causing any problems, he couldnt help but look at the dancers as he passed them on the podiums "You dont hang about do you?" her voice startled him as she picked up glassess from the tables. He smiled leaning into her ear "I would much rather see you up there getting your kit off". She glared at him before moving to the next table, he smiled as he followed her "I bet if I asked Cross he wouldnt think twice about sticking you on one of them podiums". She turned and glared at him "You wouldnt dare...". He raised his eyebrows and she moved close to him "Why would you want to see me up there when you could have a private show" she smirked before walking back towards the bar. He stared at her for a few minutes, she had definatly stepped up the flirting and he didnt know how they were gunna get through the next few weeks, maybe even months with the sexual tension already between them.
He was back on the door when Stevie made her way outside "Where you going?" he asked. She turned back to face him and the two other door men "Home". Smithy smiled "Why?". She walked towards him "Not that it is any of your business but my shift has finished.. I started early". He glanced at his watch "Its only half eleven". She interupted "Good". He shook his head "Bloody part timer". She smiled at him as Greg appeared in the door way "Stevie I need you to stay until closing". She shook her head "I have been on since half four". He nodded "And I need you to stay another couple of hours.. I have a meeting to go to" she smiled "Cant you leave him in charge..." she gestured to Smithy. Greg pushed her against the wall "He is in charge... but he isnt paid to stand behind the bar looking pretty... and unless you want to find yourself unable to do it anymore I suggest you get back behind that bar". She nodded slightly as he ran his hand over her face "We wouldnt want anything to happen to this pretty face of yours would we". He moved away from her and she made her way back inside, Smithy could see the tears that had formed in her eyes threatening to run down her pale cheeks, and he felt so guilty, he wanted to step in and help her, but he couldnt without putting them both in danger and blowing the case. He waited for Greg to leave before making his way inside and to the bar "Where is Stevie?" he asked the young girl. She smiled "She has gone to the toilet". Smithy nodded and made his way to the staff toilets.
He knocked lightly on the toilets door and stood waiting before walking inside. He smiled at her as she glanced up and caught sight of him in the mirror "For fuck sake Smithy I get it.. he prefers you... maybe they should have just put you undercover in the first place..". He interupted "I havent come to gloat Stevie.. I just wanted to make sure you were ok". She nodded "Im fine its not the first time he has got a bit rough in the last three months". He walked over and she tunred to face him "Why didnt you get Jack to pull you out.." she interupted "Im not gunna fail Smithy... Im gunna crack this". He nodded "I know you will... I have complete faith in you". She smiled "Then why have you come here to take over..". He placed his hand gently to her face "I have only done this to protect you Stevie.." she interupted "Well I can look after myself... Im a big girl". He nodded "I know you can... but I need to know you are safe". She pushed herself up and placed her lips gently to his, he ran his hand into her hair, holding her close to him. The pair jumped apart as a young girl pushed the door open "Im sorry to interupt Stevie..." she smirked "But there is a bloke getting a bit mouthy..". Stevie nodded and made her way to the door. He smiled at the young girl before following Stevie.
The rest of the night passed quite quickly and Stevie couldnt be happier when she arrived back to her small flat, even though it didnt compare to her own it was still somewhere to call home. She pulled the front door closed and made her way straight through into her bedroom, she could hide away from the cameras there, have no one spying on her. She walked into the en-suite bathroom and switched the shower on, she undressed and climbed in. She stood under the steaming hot water for several minutes before climbing back out and dabbing at her small body with a towel, she walked into the bedroom and wrapped her dressing gown round her. Hearing the doorbell she glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall, at one thirty in the morning she wasnt expecting visitors. She walked through and paused at the door "Who is it?" she asked. "Smithy". She smiled slightly before opening the door "What do you want?" she asked as he stepped into the hall. "I erm.. I wanted to clear the air..". He glanced round, she knew he was looking for cameras. She nodded "Through here" she led him into the bedroom and pushed the door shut. He rested down onto the bed and smiled at her. "Im sorry about earlier.." he began. She interupted "Why are you sorry I kissed you". He smiled "I shouldnt of let it happen..." he glanced round the room, trying to look at anything other than her body only concealed by the tiny dressing gown. "Yeah and why is that.." she asked moving closer to him. He sighed "I told Jack we would be proffesional Stevie that there was nothing going on between us". She laughed "So you dont want a private show then..." she began pulling at the tie on her dressing gown and he grabbed her hand "Stevie... we need to concentrate on the case.. we can do this after". She bit down on her lip and pulled from his hands "You can say no Smithy... you can leave". He gulped as she undid her dressing gown and dropped it to the floor "Stevie..." he began unable to divert his eyes anymore. "Go on then.. resist.." she smiled. He shook his head and grabbed her hand pulling her towards him, he ran his hands up her back before placing his lips to hers.
