Mared stood in the shower, letting the hot water run over her skin. The thought that someone was out there who wanted to kill Siân made her blood run cold. The detective was a crucial witness for the prosecution and she knew Siân Owens was a good copper. There was very little that could stop the DS doing her job. Closing her eyes as the water hit her skin she tried to push all thoughts of the case and Prosser out of her mind. Tom was waiting for her in her bedroom and despite her better judgement Elin had gone to a sleepover at her friend's house. She had to stop Prosser eating away at her. Sighing, she silently prayed Tom was already asleep. He had seen her fall apart too many times.

Brian Prosser sat quietly, aware baring fire or riots he was locked in his cell until the next morning. His cell mate, armed robber Ivor Jones snores louder as he tried to gather his thoughts.
He smirked; aware at least one detective would be dead now. One less witness to testify against him. He thought of the blonde detective, knowing that killing his arresting officer was probably a little extreme and wouldn't prevent a trial. It would delay it; it would upset Mathias and Rhys. He narrowed his eyes, thinking of the dark haired woman he had known since childhood. Mared Rhys had always been scared of him, ever since he had picked her up from a school party years earlier. He knew she had regretted their encounter- he assumed she was gay. Pulling a face he wondered if that fear could be used in his favour. He was certain that he could twist it so that her memories were seen as false and unreliable.
"Sleep tight, Mared. Tell Elin her daddy is coming home."

"I am fine." Siân snapped as Lloyd stared at her. "The docs wouldn't have let me out if I wasn't."
"If you say so." Delyth picked up her mug as Lloyd sat opposite her. The flat was tiny and he knew Siân wanted them to leave. He had no intention of doing so.
"A text message saying you are going to be killed and an hour later someone shoots you! Yeah right. Of course they won't try again. Half the station is working on your case. You are not staying alone tonight."
"Oh I love it when you are masterful." Siân teased. Delyth chocked on her coffee.
"Behave you two. Just this once everyone is alive and well. Let's just focus on that ok?"
Siân and Lloyd smirked like naughty children but had to admit she was right.

Mared stood in the bedroom doorway watching Tom as he slept. He had been through so much. At 41 he had seen more heartache than most men ever dreamt of. And now he was willing and ready to take on hers. She smiled slightly, noticing how much younger and less troubled he looked in his sleep. She loved that he was staying with her while her parents were away. As irrational as she felt, it made her feel safer. She startled when she heard him call her name.
"Oh."
"Fy cariad. Stop watching me and come to bed." He smiled as she crossed the room. She just hoped her dreams and his allowed them some peace.
