A/N: Still not owning
anything… please read and review as
they are love. XXX
This is the first chapter I have actually written at
school….English is lame. XXD
You're in my head like a song on
the radio.
All I know is I gotta get next to you.
Sitting here
turning minutes into hours.
To find the nerve just to call you on
the telephone.
'Cause you don't know that I gotta get next to
you.
Maybe we're friends.
Maybe we're more.
Maybe it's
just my imagination.
But I see you stare just a little too
long.
And it makes me start to wonder.
So baby.
Call me
crazy.
But Think you feel it too.
Baby I.
Baby I.
Just
gotta get next to you"
Next to you- Jordin Sparks.
Haylee
couldn't help the sinking feeling in her stomach as she remembered
that Callum knew about her past. About her drug addicted mum, about
her life in foster homes. About Daniel.
She felt as if he was
treating her differently, like she was someone different to who he
first met. She was the same person, just now he knew most of her
secrets.
"Haylee" Inspector Weston called out as Haylee walked
past her office, her head bowed in thought.
Once she had heard her
name, Haylee's head shot up and she looked at her inspector.
Re-tracing her steps, she poked her head through the doorway of the
office "Yes ma'm?" She smiled at the older, beautiful woman.
Rachel motioned for Haylee to enter her office which she did.
Standing in front of her superior, Haylee spread her legs apart and
her hands behind her back.
"How are you doing?" Rachel asked,
placing her hands on her desk.
Haylee
wondered what her inspector was talking about "What do you mean how
am I doing? I'm fine" She gave Rachel a reassuring smile to show
she wasn't lying.
"Well sergeant Stone came to me the other
day expressing his concern about your performance on the beat"
Rachel explained to the younger woman. Haylee now knew what Rachel
was talking about. Callum must have noticed how she was still a bit
upset about Daniel being back in town and beating her friend.
"Like
I said ma'm. I'm fine" Haylee motioned to the door "Can I go?
I still have some things to do" She smiled softly.
Rachel
looked at her watch "Well it's almost knock off time anyway. Why
don't you go down the pub with the relief and have a few drinks.
You might relax" She smiled at Haylee.
The
nineteen year old wanted to say that she could never relax. Not until
Daniel was dead, or at very least, in jail "I think I may just do
that" She smiled. Rachel nodded "Go have some fun. Let your hair
down"
Haylee turned around and walked out the office, bumping
into Mel, Leon, Millie, Max and a few other officers which Haylee
didn't know the names of "'Sup homebakes?" She grinned at the
group.
Leon laughed "About to head out for a few. Want to
come?" He asked. Leon had taken quite a liking to Haylee. She was
carefree and fun to be around. She made the job just that little bit
more bearable.
"Umm. If you let me get changed then yeah. Why
not" She laughed. Haylee hadn't meant to go out tonight, she was
going to go home and watch Eastenders repeats. Well maybe tomorrow
night.
Haylee spun around with a 'wait for me' and ran down
the corridors to the change rooms.
…..:::::::::: :::::::……..
Callum was ready to go for a
quiet drink by himself down at the Seven Bells. But, knowing his
luck, the relief would most likely be there. Buttoning up the last
few buttons of his black dress shirt, he sprayed on some deodorant
and gave himself the once over in the mirror. He wasn't looking for
a pick up, but if the opportunity arose, he wouldn't say no. Not
tonight. Not when he had thoughts of her in his head.
Haylee.
Walking out of the room, he somehow
managed to bump into Haylee and some other members of the relief.
He
looked down at what the younger woman was wearing. Her brown hair
falling slightly wavy just above her shoulders with a side fringe, a
pink halter neck shirt which showed off her silver necklace of a
pentagram. He knew she had it as he saw Inspector Weston tell her to
take it off during work hours.
A
pair of dark blue hipster jeans showed off a little flesh under her
belly button. She finished the outfit off with a pair of black and
grey peep toe high heels.
"Hey serge" She smiled just that
little too chirpy. Callum smiled at her "Where are you off too?"
He asked.
Haylee
nodded behind her "These chuckleheads think I should go partying
tonight. So I am. But first I need to get really wasted and then go
clubbing with Mel and Leon. You should come" She offered.
Callum
laughed "My clubbing days are long gone Haylee. I'm 36" He
pointed out as he fell into pace with the brunette officer.
"So?
You're never too old to go clubbing serge" She gave him a small
bump as they walked into the night air.
Nodding, Haylee stood
beside Callum and Leon as they waited for a cab. "Well I'll see
you tomorrow then" Callum didn't know why he felt as if the
breath was sucked from his lungs when Haylee's hair got blown back
from her face. She looked beautiful to him. No matter what.
"Huh.
Oh yeah. If I'm not that hung over. Leon, you wouldn't mind if I
crash on your floor tonight?" Haylee smiled over at Leon who was
placing his hands in his jacket pocket "Nah. You can pass out on my
floor any day Hay" He joked.
Callum laughed as he pulled out
his car keys "If you need a lift you two, give me a call okay" He
ordered as he looked at his two officers. He didn't want anything
to happen to Haylee, not after everything.
"Yes dad" The
brunette officer smirked as the cab pulled into the station car park.
Callum
grinned and watched as his officers climbed into the back of the cab
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do" Haylee called out from the
window.
He wanted to reply that there was nothing she wouldn't
do; but thought better of it "Goodnight Haylee" He laughed as the
cab pulled away.
Walking to his own car, he decided that maybe
going out tonight wasn't the best idea. But then again, seeing
Haylee in that outfit made him decide otherwise.
The
music was thumping louder and louder, the alcohol finally taking
effect. The colours of the lights flashing on the dance floor
flashing blue, pink, yellow, green, orange, white and the occasional
purple. Haylee sat up at the bar, her phone twirling between her
fingers "Just call him already Hay. You know he feels the same"
Mel called out from beside her. The music blaring over her
voice.
Haylee shook her head. It was one am. Callum would be
asleep in bed. Having dreams of god only knows what.
"I
can't call him Mel. He's my sergeant. And besides, I highly doubt
he feels the same. He's a professional. Loves the job way to much"
Haylee slurred a little bit. Mel laughed "We are so drunk" She
giggled, sliding off the barstool.
"We should go home. Get some
sleep. We're up again in like…" Haylee looked at her watch
"…Four hours" She mumbled, doing the same as Mel and sliding
off the stool.
Wrapping her arm around Haylee, Mel led the younger
girl out the bar and into the cold morning air "I'm just going to
go call a cab okay. Back in a second" Mel steadied herself for a
second before walking over to the phone booth and dialling the number
of the cab company.
Haylee
wrapped her arms around her body, the morning air causing goosebumps
on her skin.
"Do you need a coat love?" A familiar voice
asked, Haylee didn't register who it was until she turned around.
No one else was outside.
Just him and her.
Sobering up
imdeiently, Haylee began to back away "Stay away from me" She
ordered Daniel who walked closer to her.
Daniel smirked "You're
coming with me" He stated, lunging forward and grabbing Haylee by
her throat and holding a rag up to her face. Haylee struggled and let
out a small scream as she fell to the ground. Darkness finally taking
over her.
Mel
returned to the place she left Haylee. Looking around, she noticed
that the younger woman was no where to be seen.
All she thought
was that Haylee must have caught a cab without her, that was until
she saw Haylee's necklace on the ground. Obviously been snapped
from her neck.
She began to panic as she pulled out her phone and
dialled the one number she knew off by heart.
After three rings,
a groggy Callum answered "Hello?" He answered as he looked over
at the busty red head lying next to him. She gave a small groan and
rolled over.
Mel breathed a partial sigh of relief "S-serge.
It's Mel. S-something's happened" She stuttered, the alcohol in
her body finally draining out.
Callum sat up in bed, the blanket
which was covering his chest falling off "Mel. What's happened?"
He asked, imdeiently getting into police mode.
"I-It's
Haylee. S-she's gone. Someone's taken her Callum" Mel sobbed as
she ran a hand over her face.
His heart stopped in his chest.
Climbing out of the bed, he dressed quickly in his jeans and shirt
which he was wearing hours before.
"Right. Where are you?" He
asked, pulling on his shoes and turning on his bedroom light. Making
the red head blink her eyes open.
"I'm at the Q-bah. Please
hurry" Mel pleaded.
"Okay. Call 999 and explain the
situation. I'll be down there as soon as I can"
Callum
hung up his phone and picked up the woman's clothes and passed them
to her "You need to go. I'll drop you off wherever. You just need
to go"
The girl sat up and pulled her bra and underwear on
"What's happened?" She asked him, climbing out of the bed and
pulling on the rest of her clothes.
"Just, a friend of mine's
in trouble" Callum stated, trying to make his appearance that
little bit acceptable.
The girl stood up and tied her hair into a
pony tail "Is it that girl Haylee?" She asked softly.
Callum
just stared at his reflection for a second "Yeah" He moved away
from his reflection and grabbed his keys.
He needed to find
Haylee. And fast.
