Shane was fuming when they finally got back to the hotel at 6am. "What fucking good are the police? I can't believe they just said that!"

Linda, Shane, Paul, Stephanie and Pat walked into the elevator after getting back from the police station. Linda took the letter and the rose with her but the police had still refused to do anything. They informed Linda that they could do nothing and it was up to her to protect herself by hiring a team of bodyguards.

"If it wasn't for them Dad would probably still be alive!"

"Shane!" Linda warned. "Just leave it, if only's and what if's won't change anything. It won't bring Vince back or make the police change their minds."

"Are you gonna start interviewing for bodyguards tomorrow?" Pat asked.

"No, I refuse to have someone with me twenty-four seven. Especially someone I don't know."

"Mom, are you crazy? They are after you, and if you aren't careful they'll do to you what they did to Dad." Stephanie said in disbelief.

"Steph, if they are really that determined then they'll get me, bodyguard or no bodyguard it won't make any difference. Now I'm going to see if I can get some rest." Linda said matter-of-factly as she walked out of the elevator and across to her room.

"I can't believe her!" Shane said as the rest walked out of the elevator. "Why is she taking this so lightly? I'm going to make her see sense!"

Pat grabbed him by the arm. "No Shane, you are too angry right now. I'll go and talk to her but you three need to go back to your rooms and try to sleep. I'll let you know how it goes."

Shane nodded. "Fine." He turned around and went to his room.

"Pat, try to make her see sense, it's only because we worry." Paul said.

Pat nodded. "I know. Now go." He watched Paul and Stephanie walk to their room and turned to face Linda's room. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Linda slowly opened the door to see Pat, she smiled in relief.

"I thought you were gonna be Shane. Come in."

Pat walked in and sat on the sofa.

"Do you want a drink?" Linda asked.

"Uh yeah, actually I think I will. I'll have scotch on the rocks."

"Coming up."

Linda handed him a scotch on the rocks and poured one for herself.

"I didn't know you drank scotch." Pat said.

"I didn't used too but since Vince went I've been drinking more so I figured I had to experiment more with the drinks, its boring just being on one." She smiled.

Pat laughed. "So what else have you tried?"

"Oh I daren't tell you, you'll think I'm turning into an alcoholic by the time I've finished. But I don't think you're here to discuss what drinks I like are you?"

"You're very perceptive."

"Yeah, one of my many gifts." She smiled. "What's up?"

"You. We are all worried about you and we don't want to see you come to any harm.."

Linda cut him off. "Whoa, just back off, I've had enough of this with Shane. I don't need you on my back too. I've said I'm not going to hire a bodyguard, end of story." Linda said getting up.

"Linda, please hear me out. Why won't you?"

"I've already told you Pat, I will not live my life in fear, I don't want to run, and I don't want to be scared. I truly believe that if this person wants to get to me he will, whether I have a bodyguard or not."

"But the bodyguard."

"The bodyguard will do nothing. It will just delay this psycho, whoever he is. I don't want to hear anymore about this Pat, not from you, not from anyone now just go I want some sleep."

Pat nodded. "Ok, if that's the way you want it."

"I do."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, this freak's out to get you and he'll do it no matter what it takes." Pat put his glass down and walked out, slamming the door, leaving Linda confused by his message.

"It's almost like he knew....." Linda though out loud. She shook the thought off and went into the shower.

After the shower, it was almost 8am. Linda started to wonder if it was worth going to bed, but she was suddenly overcome with a feeling of tiredness, she changed into her pyjamas and crawled under the covers, falling asleep almost immediately.
