Siân pushed her foot to the accelerator as she weaved the small car through the rain soaked streets. She knew she shouldn't be driving, her shoulder told her as much but she had to find Meirion and knew Lloyd was less than willing to go with her.

"Beth ar y ddaear yr ydych yn gobeithio ei gyflawni gyda hyn? Siân? Nid Meirion yn mynd i siarad."

Lloyd glanced over to her. The blonde woman had become like a sister to him.

"Y gwir, Lloyd. Fi jyst eisiau minions Prosser i ddweud y gwir. Saethu Meirion mi. Rwy'n gwybod y gwnaeth."

She turned back to the road, ignoring the pain in her shoulder. Lloyd shook his head wondering if they would ever find the truth.

Mared pulled the red jacket around her, silently wishing Aberystwyth would have some semblance of summer. She felt sick; knowing if she told Tom he would only worry.

"You ok?"

"Tom, stop asking me that. There's nothing to be done until the jury are ready to return." She smiled slightly as she watched him for a moment. She wondered exactly what it was the former rising star of the Met saw in her. She knew she wasn't going to ask him. The fact he had reacted so positively over the pregnancy told her he wasn't going to run. This time her baby would have both parents.

"Mared?"

"I was just thinking about Elin. I've not told her about the baby yet."

Tom nodded, tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear.

"She's a bright, lovely girl. She'll be fine. She's home tomorrow. She knows we're together." Tom watched as Mared nodded. "What about your parents?"

"Dad will explode. He sort of gave up on me when I was pregnant last time." She sighed. "I don't think Mam will want me living here. Single mam again. More shame."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Tom spoke firmly. "Our baby. He or she is nothing to be ashamed of."

"I know that. And I'm not."

"Good." He kissed her cheek. "Come to see that cottage with me. On the sea front. It's tiny but,"

"I'd love to." She smiled.

"We could live there. Together. Me, you, Elin and the baby."

"I dunno," Mared watched as Tom tried to hide the disappointment in his eyes. "Is having a stroppy teenager around something you'd be ok with? I'd have to ask Elin. She might want to stay with my parents."

"Think about it." He watched as she nodded.

"Ok, we can talk about it after the verdict." Tom nodded, relieved he hadn't been dismissed out of hand.

"Ok." He smiled before ushering her towards the car, knowing that at least he had a chance to talk her into living with him; he hoped marriage would follow.

"Right." Lloyd looked up at the run down council block as Siân locked the car. "You sure about this?"

"Yes." She squinted. "You're driving back mind."

He nodded; knowing that was as close as she would get to admitting her injury was painful. She walked away from him , heading towards the address she believed belonged to Meirion Jenkins. Lloyd paused as his phone rang. Siân swore as he answered the call.

"Syr? Beth sydd o'i le?"

He paused.

""Iawn. Byddaf yn dweud hi. Rydym ar ein ffordd"

He ended the call.

"Siân. We have to go. The verdict is in."

"What do you hope to achieve Siân? He isn't going to say anything."

"The truth, Lloyd. I just want one of Prosser's minions to tell me the truth. Meirion shot me."

"Sir? Is everything ok?"

"Ok, I'll tell her. we on our way."
