"Who the bloody hell are you? I could report you to the police you know?" The man said in an upper class tone

Sam stood in shock. Just Staring.

"Well?"

"I'm...I'm sorry, I thought you were somebody else" Sam replied, somewhat disappointed.

"I'm still reporting you! Who do you think you are?"

"Detective Inspector Sam Tyler"

Sam removes his warrant card showing it to the man. The man reads it thoroughly. Twice.

"Well what type of bloody police officer does that to an innocent man?"

"I'm sorry sir...if you must please make your complaint to D.C.I Gene Hunt at the Manchester and Salfords CID" Sam says. Smirking to himself as he turns to walk off.

"Don't think I won't Sonny!" The man calls after him. "You're in for it now!"

"Oh I don't think I am" Sam says to himself.

Sam slowly opened the door. In the room Annie lays motionless. Machines beeping around her. Sam pulls a chair up beside the bed. He takes his jacket off and puts it on the back of the seat. He sits down and puts his head in his hands. He sits in silence for a while. The only sound being that of the scurrying nurses outside and the beeping of the machinery. After several moments he looks up.

"Annie, I don't know if you can hear me. But I want to say this. I have to say this. Since I came to this place. I always felt alone. But I had you. I always had you. But now you're gone I feel more alone than ever. I'm trying Annie...god knows I'm trying. I just don't know what my next move is. Morgans gone off the radar. We found a large amount of explosives at his place. I don't even know why he's still trying. I made my choice to stay here. With you and the Guv. I thought I wanted to go home. But in the end. I realised. This is my home now. I just wish I' realized it sooner."

Sam leans into her.

"I don't know. If you're going through the same thing I did. But if you are. Don't give up. Keep fighting and you will get back. Because I need you. We all do."

He kisses her on the lips softly

"Come back to me Annie" He says despondently into her ear

"Don't worry Sam" A voice comes from behind him.
