Protection

"Ben?" Heidi stared at her friend, suddenly more concerned than ever. It seemed the affable FBI agent was deadly serious. If Ben was so worried then there was a good chance they had something to be worried about.

"He's still dangerous." Ben stated. "He is no less dangerous than the last time we met him."

"So why now?" Torres asked as Loker looked on. "Why escape now? Why come back at us now?"

"It's five years since he was sent to prison." Gillian stated as she arrived in the doorway with Cal a few steps behind. Emily shook her head as she listened to the older members of the Lightman Group. She had been a teenager when this man had attacked Gillian.

"I was just sixteen."

"Yeah, and my job was to protect you. Still is." Cal stated. "You are not to get involved in this, Em. I mean it."

"I work here now. Same as Eli and Rhia."

"Emily." Gillian glanced at her husband, knowing he was going to hate having his family involved in the case but there was nothing he could do. "The best way to keep safe is to have an understanding of what we had to deal with. There are some files on my desk. Go read them."

"Gillian."

"She needs to know what we are dealing with. As Ben says, he is dangerous. I diagnosed him with psychopathic tendencies with delusions of grandeur." Gillian continued. "He has no conscious. No sense of how his actions affect other people. He only sought the attention of the man he idolised. When that man was killed there was no way of getting the approval of the man he saw as a mentor." Ben nodded.

"Yeah. And now he's out and he's angry and we are stood around here not doing anything." Rhea snapped.

"Torres." Cal looked at her. "You and Emily go through the files we have. Look for names other than his and Michelle that we may have missed, go through the CCTV from our car park. Loker, pull out everything related to the case and see if there are any ways we can find a chink in the amour. Did he love his mum? Did he have a best friend he would call on if he was in trouble."

"Ok." Loker ushered the other two out of the room.

"Heidi, stay here. Do not leave until Gill and I get back." He took Gill's hand. "Actually, put the answer phone on. Tell the world we are closed. And keep an eye on Laura yeah?"

"You want me to babysit?"

"I want you to stay here and be safe. I can't force Emily to listen to me but I heard you say that you were followed.

"I." She looked at Gillian as Ben closed his eyes.

"I know Laura is safe with you." Gillian sighed as Ben turned to the couple.

"And what are you two going to do?"

"Someone has to tell Michelle and his other victims. Someone has to make sure they have some protection even if I am the main target." Cal snapped. Gillian nodded before Cal dropped her hand. "And I have to do this alone."

"Like Hell." Gillian grabbed his shoulder. "You just asked Heidi to mind the baby. Where am I supposed to go."

"I dunno." Cal snapped. "If you hadn't noticed I'm winging it, 'ere Luv. I av no idea where this idiot is or what 'e is gonna do so don't expect me to be totally rational 'ere."

"OK." Gillian sighed. Her grip on his arm remained. "I'll tell you what we are doing. We, you and I are going to find Michelle and together we will tell her. You know having me around is the one way to stop you walking to your death and I would like our girls to have their dad around." She let go of his arm and marched out of the room, leaving Cal to follow behind.
