Danny's POV

Alice was happy now. Her 'baby' was washed and had a new air freshener, which was in the shape of Eeyore. Now we were walking round Glasgow City Centre hand in hand as Alice dragged me towards Primark.

"Glasgow has some nice architecture." I commented looking at the impressive buildings.

"Yeh… but it's one of the nice things about this place." Alice sighed.

"What do you mean?" I asked spotting the huge Primark, it was the busiest shop ever!

"It's not safe Danny. Living here wasn't a cup of tea. Massive gang culture and knife culture, not to mention the guns. I love Glasgow but the rivalry between Catholics and Protestants caused a lot of violence, there's still violence in the streets sometimes." Alice admitted. "It's good for a holiday I suppose, but living here you get to know the worse of it all."

"I didn't know that." I admitted.

"Not everyone does." Alice agreed, as we walked into Primark, Alice's favourite store for getting clothes apparently.

She dragged me to the underwear section as I carried the basket. She began to fill it with the brightest, and most obvious sets. I sighed as she pointed out a starry set. She then proceeded to hold them up to me.

"Alice!" I laughed.

"Daniel." She teased under the pretence of innocence.

"Do you like embarrassing me?" I asked.

She looked up and pretended to think.

"Hmm… just a wee bit." Alice giggled.

"Thought so." I laughed as Alice dragged me to the next section of Primark… I could tell this was going to be a long shopping trip!

Vanessa's POV

This had to be a mistake. Rowan? The pills? But… no he wouldn't. Rowan wouldn't let Danny take the rap for his mistake. He's not like that. I refuse to believe it.

Check the accounts, yeh, that will prove Baruti is lying, an unhappy employee, that's all. I clicked the computer on and typed in the passwords.

Okay, money out…No… sixty thousand rand to Baruti. It was true?

I felt tears slowly begin to fall. How could he? What the hell was I going to do? What would he do? Danny and Alice were suffering for no reason? If he could do this, what could he do to me? Surely he'd not do this to his sister, and if he did, where did that leave me?

"Rowan." I shouted composing myself as he sat talking to a group of men.

"Vanessa?" He grinned, I wanted to slap it straight off.

"How about you come with me." I replied darkly, he went to grab my hand but I moved my hand suddenly, I couldn't touch him.

"What is it?" Rowan asked closing the door behind him.

I threw the packet of tablets at him.

"What about it?" Rowan asked, how could he lie so good?

"Empty, ring any bells?" I spat.

"No… I don't know…"

"Oh shut up Rowan!" I screamed. "I'm not an idiot."

"I didn't say you were." He argued, raising his voice a little. "Baruti is setting us up!"

"No, he's telling me the truth. Did you pay him off?"

"No." I could so kill that man!

"I checked the accounts." I replied coldly, his face turned white. "Shocked?"

"Vanessa… I did it for us."

"For us?" I asked, disgusted in him.

"For Mara too!" He protested.

"Oh and what did you do?" I asked, tears welling up in my eyes. I trusted him, I wanted him to justify it but I couldn't.

He sat back, he had tears in his eyes too maybe there was hope.

"I gave the leopard drugs to help him interact with the female. Combined with the amount of…"

"Killed him." I intercepted. "And you let it happen! You idiot!"

"Please Vanessa." Rowan began but I put my hand up.

"You're gonna sort this Rowan, you're gonna tell Danny and Alice. Ring them NOW!" I yelled throwing the phone at him.

He tapped in the numbers slowly and gulped. He put the phone down after a few minutes.

"No reply."

"Fine, I'll book a flight, we'll go over, and YOU will tell them in person." I spat, ringing the airline.

"Please Vanessa, they are fine."

"Oh shut up Rowan." I sighed, "It's the most you can do!"

Alice's POV

"Ah, a day's shopping well done!" I laughed as Danny and I emerged with a number of Primark bags.

"I know, you're a good shopper aren't you, I actually enjoyed it!" Danny admitted.

"Of course I am, I'm a woman on a mission!" I laughed before launching into my version of On a mission.

"Stand to side cos I'm on a mission" Danny began to sing.

"Oh I bet you sing this don't you all the time on your bus! I can just see, I am a woman on mission!"

"I prefer I am a ma-an on a mission!" Danny laughed.

"But your not a man." I reminded him cheekily and jokingly.

"Alice, god you don't reckon my covers blown do you?" Danny asked looking around as I unlocked the car.

"Danny, it was blown a long time ago!" I laughed as we drove back to the hotel for a night of fun, enjoyment and love, and possibly a good nights sleep!
