A/N: Thank you for the reviews. Strong Language.

Sash woke up in agony in the morning. He was sick, scared, anxious. He forced himself to have breakfast because he needed the energy. He told one of his assistants to get a candle, a little present for Jack. At work he found himself typing little speeches on graphic notepads, looking at wise quote wordings of "loss" on poetry sites. He'd make this special. kinda like their first date. After work he got a shower, got dressed into tailor made jeans and a shirt that his father had sent over. He Wore a cashmere Jacket and leather shoes. Jack couldn't see him but it was the least he could do.

His knees were burning under the pressure of his own skeleton. He'd been waiting for long enough and finally Vlado opened the door in the dark his rucksack on his shoulder ready to do the deed. Clay walked around the neighbours fence and called his name out as soon as his foot stepped on the snail scattered pavement. "Vlado Petrovic?" He asked. Vlado stared at him in confusion. "što...huh?" Vlado asked. "It's just...I'm supposed to be "seeing" Jack tonight instead of you...I've got orders" Vlado decided to test him just in case. This guy could have been undercover with the British police or the FSB.

"Switch well...Adlercreutz gave me the go-ahead" "Yeah well Sash Gavrik gave me the thumbs up" Clay said showing Vlado his phone. Vlado took the phone from the stranger and looked at his texts. They were all from the same number that Sash had used to call him. Vlado was disppointed. He wanted to do that job for Switch so he could be cut free from his favours, but between crime scum like Adlercreutz and Russian Royalty like Sash, Vlado had no choice but to step down. Vlado nodded and passed the guy back his phone. "Trčanje... go" Vlado said as he turned around to walk back to John's house.

"Hold on, I need some tips here...how did Sash tell you do it?" Clay asked, thinking that Vlado was going to find a way to get Jack out of the hospital and back to Sash's flat. "Strychnine" Vlado said rolling down his sleeve. "What's that?" Clay asked wondering if he was being lead up the garden path. "Sash didn't want it to be painful, but it's the most natural way for Jack to go" Vlado said. "Sarin" Clay made up. "I'm gonna shut all the windows and leave Jack in there with naughty nerve gas" Sash said nodding. "Good, good, I'd give you the Strychnine but my seller would go crazy without cijena, you know...a price" Vlado said raising his bushy eyebrows.

Clay dug into his pocket and took out a twenty pound note. Vlado opened his bag and pulled out a small plastic bag with what looked like Nat's baby powder inside. "Just add water" Vlado explained. Clay nodded, thanked him and caught the bus over to the hospital. Sash's plans weren't clear. Clay couldn't think of one reason why Sash would want Jack gone. Could Jack know something about Achkan? Was Sash planning to stop Vlado when he got there? Was Sash angry at Jack because he didn't get Adlercruetz? To Clay it wasn't adding up.

Sash was by Jack's bedside. Talking to him, explaining to him why this was going to happen and the he wasn't really angry at him. Jack was nice, he'd always understand, always laugh it off, but his mother wouldn't. Sash was glad that he'd never have to face her after Jack's death. "I'm doing this for my family" Sash said, as he kissed Jack's cold lifeless hand. The room suddenly got darker as Sash's candle for Jack got blown out. He heard the door creak open and took his hand away from Jack's. "Vlado, you're late" Sash said. There was no response and Sash turned around. "Clay?" Sash said squinting.

"Vlado couldn't make it, nice guy" Clay said, taking out the Strychnine and the syringe. "How did you get hold of Vlado?" Sash asked. "Who else is here?" "No-one" Clay said opening the syringe cap. "Having second thoughs Gavrik?" Clay asked. The days of calling Sash "Mr Gavrik" were over he couldn't respect Sash, not now or ever. Sash shook his head. "So...what's your problem with him?" Clay asked. "Like you I guess" Sash said. Jack knows too much and he will speak when he wakes up. Jack can't wake up" Sash said patting the bed. Clay took a pair of gloves from his bag took out the Strychnine from Vlado's plastic bag and put the poison in the syringe.

Clay filled it up from water from the kettle and closed the syringe cap. Turning the syringe around plastic first he passed it over to Sash. "First honours Gavrik" Clay said as Sash took the syringe and steadied his hand. "Where shall I put it?" Sash asked. "Jack's arm" Sash said. Without pausing Sash moved Jack's sheets back and pulled Jack's arm out onto the bed. Clay walked over to Sash's side as Sash put his hand on Jack's arm to keep him still, then moved the syringe closer waiting for the needle to touch and infect Jack's skin. But Sash would never get to prick Jack's weak spot as Clay tipped Sash's chair up. Sash sent the syringe flying and avoided Clay's grabs trying to punch him in the face.

It was harder to get Sash down then Clay thought. Sash was a head taller than Clay. His famous family meant that he didn't need membership to use any gym facilities. He kicked Clay in the stomach and pulled Clay up by his Jacket and hurled him against the wall. "Why come?" Sash asked. "Why not call the police?" "I thought Jack was gonna move in with you" Clay said. "Until I talked to Vlado" Sash threw Clay to the floor and pushed Clay inbetween his body and the wall, almost sitting on him. Clay knew that Daddy's pancake games would be useful one day. "Jack move in...with me?" Sash asked as he started laughing.

Sash accidently rocked forward and that gave Clay enough space to grip his arm around Sash's neck and squeezed as hard as he could. Sash got in a good elbow before Clay got him on his side. He could feel Sash's energy leaking like spilled glass of juice. He brought Sash's head into his on chest twisting Sash's neck. Clay hearing Sash cough and splutter as Sash's arms went limp. Clay held on for a little while longer so that he was certain Sash was sleeping like Nat was tonight. "Night, Night Gavrik" Sash said as he got up and put the Strychnine and the syringe in his rucksack. Sash was too big for him to carry on his own. He called Daddy on his phone and turned the room and the corridor lights off.

"Eric, you're gonna be on your on for a while. No friends over and don't even think about dipping your grubby fingers into the cheesecake"

"Can I come too?" Eric asked.

"You've got school son, I'll be back soon" Daddy said.

Daddy drove to the hospital and went into Jack's room and saw Clay trying to pick up a heavier slightly older man on the floor. "Clay what the hell are you playing at?" Daddy asked. "We were supposed to be getting Ollie tonight, DannyV's got us the reward money" "Daddy I need your help" Clay said as Daddy watched Clay try and then Daddy helped him get the guy up. They put the guy in Daddy's trunk before Clay gave him directions to the farmers shack, he still paid rent on a while ago. Daddy stepped out of the car and looked around. The place was quiet thick with grass. They got Sash out of the trunk with Daddy holding Sash up against the car while Clay got the key for the shed.

"Clay how long have you been hiding this from me?" Daddy asked. "To be honest Daddy I nearly forgot" Clay said. He was telling the truth, with Nat and Claire with work, he had forgot about the shed until now. "Practise for Lisa" Daddy said as they tied Sash up with aluminium copper wire and saddle straps. "Shall I bleed him out here?" Daddy asked. "You could have come prepared Clay" Daddy tutted. "Daddy he's got to stay here. We lay on finger on him and his whole family will be after us..." "So why the fu..." Daddy started to say. "Daddy with Lisa I think we should wait" Clay said changing the subject.

"Wait for what son? She's an evil witch and Eric is my son. He should be with me, end of story" Daddy said pushing Clay to sit on the floor. "Daddy if you do this, you'll be a suspect" Clay said. "Clay Lisa has to be cut out...you got to help me son" Daddy said as he looked at Sash who had his eyes closed "I'm not giving you a choice" Clay nodded, while they were interrupted by Sash moaning. Clay got up off the floor and made sure he was strapped down to the wooden bunk. Daddy left the shed so Sash couldn't see him. Untie me...now" Sash said, as he tried to wriggle free but whatever Clay had tied him up with was too strong. "Get some sleep Gavrik" Clay advised him taking both his own and Sash's rucksack. "We'll talk later" Clay said as he locked the shed door.

"Can you get that?" Lisa said to her assistant as she heard knocks on the door. Her phone vibrated as her assistant called her from the door, they always did that. "It's some guy who says he's your brother" Lisa got up walked through the hallways past the bathroom down to the conservatory and another set of stairs before arriving at the door. "Nice to see you've got your bodyguards Lis" Leo said carrying a suitcase in his hand. He was standing next to a taller guy with cheap dyed blonde hair and wondered if he was trying to set her up on a date.

Lisa sent the assistant away and invited both men in. She lead them to the nearest lounge and got her assistant to make them sandwiches and drinks. She asked them to sit down, but Leo had other ideas. With a smile at his sister, he ushered his teams rival with one of Lisa's asisstants and came back in to talk to his sister. "Where's your colleague?" She asked. "Taking a tour of your place with the help" Leo said. He said down and helped another of Lisa's asisstants as she came in with drinks and food. "Can you...leave?" Lias asked her assistant as her bother smiled at the girl and shut the door.

"You should have called" Lisa said folding her arms. "I know...I'm an ass, but you know I work for the ASCUP team right?" Leo told Lisa. She nodded but had no idea what he was talking about, Leo didn't really mention his work much. "Well there's a break we've got and me and Miller, that guy out there have to work together...so...can we stay here?" He asked. Lisa stared at him. "Didn't the last undercover Operation or whatever you call them included someone getting shot?" She asked. "You're crazy if you think I'm going to bring that around Eric" Leo grasped at the sofa. "Sis they got shot in the leg and they survived. Anywho, we're here to apprehend someone" Leo told her.

"All we need is a place to stay...come on sis, don't make us pay for a hotel" Said Leo. Jase got brought back downstairs by the assistant walked past Leo and infront of Lisa, and got on his knees. "I'm begging" Jase said cupping his hands together and smiling. "If I have to pay another grand to keep your brother in fire-breathing hookers...I'll go broke. The cheaper the place, the less action your brother gets" Leo could see Lisa being swayed.

"Free babysitting too, you fire Meghan or Anna or whatsherface" Said Jase getting up and stuffing a sandwich into his mouth. "No-one from yout "Operation" comes here, you don't wake Eric up on a school night and you'll have to tell me what our parents have been saying about me. You don't encourage Eric to drink or do drugs and he's too young to even think about dating so no girlfriend talks" Lisa said. "I want this in writing" "Deal" Jase Said as he held out his hand Lisa shook it and Jase noticed that she held his palm a little longer than usual.

They both picked their rooms and Jase decided to go into Leo's room so they could talk about them keeping tabs on the guy they were after. "I think we should go through talking to this Clay, to get Kev" Jase said as he handed him Clay's file. "We know nothing about the kid, let alone what this kid looks like as an adult" Leo said. "My team's gonna pass flyers around, and call the local police branch. Kev can't stay outta trouble for long" "OK...My team are gonna go for this "Clay lead" Jase said looking at local police contacts.

DannyV's phone was blocked with traffic lately. The sooner Jase got a hold of DannyV, the quicker they could find Kev. Jase left Leo's room to turn in for bed. He looked at Kev's files again in case he may have missed something. Whether Kev had robbed a bank or not the kid was still making a living doing something. He hadn't claimed benefit because he wasn't on the government database, so Jase guessed he was working a nine-to-five so it was back to asking around at McDonalds and pound-stores.

He heard a knock on the door and turned his papers over. "Come in" Lisa came in with fresh towels a fannel and a basket of soaps and bubble bath. "Sorry it's so girly" She said. "We don't really get many guys here" "You're kidding right" Jase said as he patted the bed and she sat on it. "No...after Lloyd...I haven't out much" "Lloyd?" Jase asked. "I just know this guy's name and he already sounds like an ass" Jase said. "Eric's father...long story" Lisa said playing with the basket ready to change the subject. "Maybe you could tell me that story over dinner?" Jase asked patting her gently on the leg. "I mean I'm supposed to be working...but you're too tasty to ignore...shit that was corny" Jase said rubbing his eyes pretending to be tired.

Lisa nodded. "It was but I'll take it" She said. "I'll take it anytime I can get it...so your assistant can call me and we'll set up a board meeting with aims for a date and Team Lisa will brainstorm your options" Jase said as Lisa got up. "Sounds good to me" She walked out and Jase decided to call DannyV first thing in the morning before doing some sit-ups and press ups on the floor.

If he was going on a date this month he'd better start exercising now. If Lisa saw him topless at this point she'd run away screaming. It was time for him to diet, after he'd checked out Kev's fast food places in the morning. He got on his computer and checked "Lloyds" the that had been arrested in the database. There were a few of them but only one had a son called Eric and owed thousands of pounds to some guy that Lloyd had tried to steal from by hacking into this "Achkan's" records.

Jase looked at his face. "Lloyd Wilkes you're not on my level buddy" Jase said as he turned the light off and read Kev's mother's statement on his computer.
