While Sandra drove she briefly looked around to see how Gerry was, sensing he wasn't as calm as he wanted her to think she placed her hand on his thigh and gently rubbed it, in an attempt to calm him. It didn't take to long to get to where they had parked the car the night before as because it was so early there were barely any cars on the road.

'Come on then Gerry.' They both got out the car and yet again entered the forest, Sandra held Gerry's hand as she knew how he absolutely hated forests and how scared he was the night before. It was a bit of a walk until a small log cabin came into view.

'Look, there's the cabin I was talking about.' Sandra told him pointing off into the distance.

'Oh God, let's hope this is it.' He reached down and kissed her.

'Whatever happens Gerry, we aren't going to give up searching. We will find her.'

It took another five minutes until they actually arrived outside the cabin. Gerry was shaking slightly so Sandra took control. She kicked open the cabin door and took out her police warrant card in case she'd got this so badly wrong. But no she hadn't, there tied to a bed was the youngest Standing daughter looking starving and ill. Gerry was waiting outside for fear of what they would find.

Examining the room further Sandra immediately saw a face she instantly recognised, the daughter of the man who they'd just sent to jail, she was sleeping though. Sandra poked her head round the door to see Gerry.

'So…?' he asked her, she nodded.

'Call for back-up.' He was growing more and more worried as to whether Caitlin was alright. Then suddenly out the door walked Caitlin wearing Sandra's coat with Sandra helping to keep her up. Gerry immediately ran over to her and scooped her up into a massive hug.

'Okay Gerry, we need to wait for back-up to take her captor away as she is currently sleeping inside and then we are taking Caitlin to the hospital to be checked over.'

Gerry let Caitlin sit down on the porch of the log cabin, sensing she was too weak to be on her feet for too long. He walked over to Sandra and pulled her into a hug and they passionately kissed.

'Thank you so much Sandra. How can I ever make it up to you?'

'I can think of a few things.' She added playfully, he pulled her back into a kiss just as back-up arrived.

'Hello boys, I'm D.S. Pullman, we've just rescued this girl from her captor, the captor is currently inside sleeping, so do what you need to do.' She then turned to Gerry 'Come on let's get her to the hospital.'

Both Sandra and Gerry helped Caitlin up and helped her to get back to the car. Caitlin seemed unable to talk from all the shock, so the trip to the hospital was silent. But in the silence Gerry and Sandra had been sharing playful looks and Gerry had put his hand on top of hers while she had it on the gear stick, she tightly squeezed it and gave him a look which he read as a 'we did it' look.
