Jane was sat on something so big she would sworn it was a dinosaur, not a horse. She tried to keep calm but her palms were sweaty and she couldn't grip the reins as tight as she wanted to. Thomas was chattering about something to do with riding and the horse and her heels but Jane was pretty sure she had blacked out somewhere. She kept trying to flirt and smile but damn if it wasn't difficult to pretend to be interested in a scumbag like him, let alone when straddling a beast that could well have eaten her!

Thomas handed her over into the capable hands of one of his trainers at the ranch and smiled warmly at the attractive detective. If only I had the time to get to know you a little better. Sitting behind you on the horse would just be too delicious. He sobered as his thoughts turned to his idiot son. But I have to go clear up somebody's disgusting mess.

Jane's eyes widened in panic as the creep left her in the control of some spotty teenager who looked like he could barely control his own lanky body let alone the hulk of animal in between her legs! She tried to keep her eyes on Thomas as he walked off. It was starting to fall dark and the dusky surroundings weren't helping. She saw him talking and gesturing towards her, she looked away abruptly, trying to pretend to pay attention to the gangly pizza faced kid who was incessantly whining about something or other. She glanced back up and saw Thomas look around suspiciously before slinking off behind the stables into some sort of woodland. Gotcha.

Maura was putting the finishing touches to her subtle make up as she glanced at the time and checked her phone, willing it to make a noise. Jane didn't say what time dinner was...it's only 7pm now, perhaps there is still hope. She wandered into her kitchen, she fed Bass and stood with a glass of merlot placed ponderously against her lips. She let her imagination run away with her and began envisioning all the delights that awaited her tonight.

Jane was trying to steer the horse to where she had lost sight of Thomas but the dumb kid kept taking the reins back and talking to her like she was as dumb as he looked. She huffed, there were two other attendants with them now, clearly under strict instructions to keep an eye on her. Her phone buzzed and she struggled to get it out of its holder without loosing her grip on the reins. She gathered the reins in one hand and snuck a look at her phone while pizza face and the other horse enthusiasts chatted excitedly about something horsey no doubt.

Frost leant even closer to Devin until they were sharing the same air and repeated himself slowly "You're not normal."

Devin let out a roar and grabbed Frost by the collar, launching himself over the table and landing on top of him, red faced and screaming "Fuck you!"

The officer with them went to race over but Frost caught his eye and shook his head. I've got him now, let's see how far we can get him to go. Frost pushed Devin off him and the two stood facing one another, panting. "Yeah? Would you like that huh? Or is it just dumb animals that get you hot?"

Devin had no rationality left inside him, he could just feel the pure unbridled rage that this detective had brought out in him. He launched himself at him again and shook him violently "I am not sick! I am not sick!"

Frost laughed cruelly at him egging him on "No of course not! I mean everyone wants to fuck a woman dressed like a horse right!?"

Devin pushed away from Frost and was looking off into the distance like he wasn't even seeing him anymore "N-no...she wouldn't do what I wanted she wouldn't be quiet. None of them would do what I wanted. They wouldn't be obedient!"

Frost kept his voice even and calm so as not to break Devin out of this truthful trance "What did you do?"

"Had to teach them, train them. Had to show them obedience."

Frost frowned "Why did you drug them?"

"Have to put down the animal when she gets violent. Dangerous."

Devin paled and sank to the floor once he had snapped out of his revery and sat with his head in hands sobbing "No, dad's gonna kill me...no. Stupid stupid freak!"

Frost ran out of the room, texting at the same time, to get that all important warrant. Just hope it's not too late...

Jane lit up at the one worded text message from Frost;

'Go'

She looked around frantically, looking down she realised just how big this monster was and she was ashamed to say fear took hold of her. She hastily put her phone away and grabbed the reins. She looked down at the horse and closed her eyes briefly, said a quick prayer and dug her heels in. She screamed as the beast took off, full gallop, jostling her about in the saddle. Jesus! Why didn't I listen to him earlier?! She was hanging on for dear life as the horse tore through the field. They went past the woodland and she saw a makeshift dirt path that Thomas must have disappeared up. She took a deep breath and yanked the reins in that direction and squealed as the horse thundered through the trees.

Thomas was almost at the makeshift treehouse Devin had built himself as a child. Thomas never came here, it was yet another reminder of his failings as a father. As he was nearing the hut he heard a squeal and the thundering sound of hooves approaching. He turned just in time to see the detective and his horse come flying toward him. He had no time to react other than to shout and raise his arms in front of his face to protect himself.

Jane didn't have time to react as the horse reared up and she lost her grip and fell off the beast backwards and landed heavily.
