I saw Max walking towards myself and Smithy.

"Smithy, what have you got?"

"I spoke to the passenger in the Clio, Melissa Kendall. Who as you know is a well known tom. Apparently the reason Tara went through the red light was because someone was in pursuit of her. Melissa doesn't know who. Banksy has seen the CCTV along with Roger and that backs up Melissa's story. The passenger of the Clio is still unconscious; the doctors have assured me that he is critical but stable. Tara Daniels is also unconscious. She's just come out of theatre where they operated on her to stop bleeding that had occurred in her brain, She died on the operating table, however they resuscitated her and its touch and go whether she'll survive. The next 72 hours are critical."

Max looked towards me and smiled. Then Smithy's radio crackled. "sierra Oscar 1 Robbery in progress at 13 pitchman road.

"Sierra Oscar from 1 show myself a 365 dealing."

We hurried from the hospital and into the car. We managed to catch the burglars. We took them back to the station and booked them in. Smithy noticed that I had been quiet since the car accident. He gestured for me to follow him into his office.

" You wanna sit down?" he asked. I smiled and sat in the chair opposite him.

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong Molly?" Smithy asked. I don't know what it is about him but I feel like I can tell him anything. That I can confide in him.

"Its just that the passenger in the fiesta looked like Edward. Its really hit me. I though he was coming for me Smithy. I thought he'd found me. I was scared. Not just for me but for you to. Because Smithy, I'm finding myself falling for you. I know I shouldn't but I am. I can't walk away Smithy. I'm already in too deep."

"Moll, I feel the same. I wont let him hurt you and Max isn't going to let him hurt you either. I'm KNOW Max will do anything to keep you from harm along with me."

"Thanks Smithy. But I don't think you know the danger you're facing. I've said that I can't walk away, but you can! I'm giving you a choice. Love or Survival?"

"I choose love. Everytime. What do you choose Molly?"

I looked up through my eyelashes as I felt the tears prickling.

"Survival! Your Survival. Please Smithy. I don't have a choice. No matter what I do I'll be killed. But I don't want you to die with me. You have such a long life ahead of you. You could have many children. You could save so many lives. I want you to make sure that your life is worth something. I don't want you to-"

He cut me off

"First up, my life is not worth anything if I'm not sharing it with you! And secondly, I'm never walking away!"

He stood up and walked over to me. He was bent down looking into my eyes. He stroked the side of my face with his thumb, I could still feel where his touch had been long after. He moved in and caught my lips with his and we kissed passionately. I knew then that there was no going back. I knew that Smithy knew what he wanted. I knew what I wanted. But there was still a nagging voice in the back of my mind telling me that Edward would find me soon and that there was no doubt about it. With Edward I chose Survival. With Smithy, for the first time in my life, I choose love, Everytime.
