Adam was at home with Jess making-lunch for himself and her. Jess was sat on the sofa, and Adam was in the kitchen.

"I hope you're okay with ham-sandwiches Jess, it's just we haven't exactly had time to go shopping recently." Adam said with a laugh and Jess returned the laugh.

"Ham-Sanwiches sounds lovely to me Ad." She told him with a smiley-face.

Adam soon wandered in with 2 plates with 2 Ham-Sanwiches each on them. "Dinner is served." Adam said before placing the plates on the living-room-table and sitting-down next to Jess on the sofa.

"Thanks Ad, so tell me, what really happened with You and Sean?" Jess asked Adam. "I mean, I'm helping you all I can, but it's difficult because I don't really know what's been going-on. " She added.

Adam sighed then looked-down. "There was a bus-crash and his baby-daughter was brought into the Pediatrics...Sean had cut himself too..."

"DAUGHTER?" Jess interupted.

"Yeah, sorry Jess, he's got himself a new girlfriend now, I'll admit it, the baby...Lucy, she's gorgeous."

"And I bet she is too Adam, but good-luck to them, having to put-up with a man like Sean, anyway you were saying..."

"Yeah, so I went to collect Sean from cubicles to see Lucy and he started to wind-me-up about Harry, I lost it, and I punched-him, he punched-me back then we were broken-apart, but things didn't finish there. The next-morning Kirsty had gone into work, and I was beaten-up in the carpark, but it wasn't Sean. But to cut a long-story-short, his nephew, Mark, was brought into cubicles, I treated-him and recognised-him, then Sean was found threatening-him later-on, and then we fought-again..."

"Oh Ad...I'm sorry, that must've been tough..." Jess just wanted to hug Adam, but she knew it would be inappropriate, whether Kirsty was around or not, so she kept her distance, despite her temptations.

"It was, but put the assault's along with him kidnapping Lucas and Amelia, then we've got-hm Jess, we can send-him down, get the success that we've always hoped for." Adam told her positively.

Jess smiled at Adam before deciding toi change the subject. "Anyway...Doctor Trueman, you're meant to be resting, and Kirsty will kill-me if she finds out that I let you make-lunch, so you stay there, and I'll make-us both some Hot-Chocolate." Yes, Jess was flirting, but she couldn't help-it. However, Jess did know that Adam was with Kirsty, and she had no-plans of splitting the happy-couple-up, the last thing Adam needed right-now was a love-triangle in his life.

"But you don't do it right, you know my hot-chocolate's are better." Adam argued in a jokey-fashion.

"Uh, what did I say?" Jess replied cheekily. "You rest." She said with a whisper.

Adam led-back on the sofa and lifted his feet carefully onto it, he put the cushion underneath the back of his head, before closing-his-eyes, for-once, he was actually doing as he was told.


Back at the ED, Detective Liam was waiting at reception. Kirsty passed-him-by. "Liam?" Kirsty asked suspiciously.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned.

"Well I was looking for Adam." Liam told her.

"Oh, well he's at home today, resting and recovering." Kirsty replied.

"Okay, well I might as well speak to you then, seeing as you're here."

"Urm, yeah sure, let's go into Adam's office. Tess! I'll be 10 Minutes okay, I just need to speak to the Detective okay?"

Tess nodded, understanding what was going-on, and realising that it was to do with Adam's attack.

"Take a seat." Kirsty offered as she walked behind Adam's desk. Liam did-so then gean the interview.

"So, I won't ask you about the attack in the car-park, but I seem to re-call you being at the other punch-ups that involved Adam and Sean."

"Urm, yeah I was..." Kirsty answered.

"What do you know about the fights?" Liam asked, making this a more of an informal-interview for what appeared to be the innocent and sweet Kirsty.

"Well the first, small-one, where only a few punches were thrown...well Sean had it coming, Adam tells me he was winding-him-up about Harry, his son that died two-years-ago..." Kirsty trailed-off, feeling sorry for Adam.

"Right, but Adam didn't make the first-move...did he Kirsty?"

"If I'm honest, yes he threw the first-punch..."

"But you didn't see what happened before that did you Kirsty?" Liam asked, trying to twist the story to Adam's advantage.

"Urm No but..." Kirsty said, just trying ot tell the truth in this interview.

"No buts Kirsty, look I'm aware that Adam threw the first-punches, but that's not gonna look good-on-him."

"Wait, this is going to court isn't it?" Kirsty questioned.

"Well, that's-up to Adam and Jess..." Liam trailed-off.

"So you mean, if it doesn't, you're gonna twist this so Sean is the bad-guy."

"No Kirsty, Sean IS the bad-guy, I'm just here to do my job, and to prove it."

Kirsty looked at Liam suspiciously, it was sweet what he was doing for Adam, but was that really the right-thing to do? Twist the story to make it work at Adam's advantage?


Just a short-little-chapter to move things along a little more quickly. :).

What do you think of what Liam is doing? After-all, Adam did throw the first-punch in two of the fights? :P.

Please-Review. :).
