She wondered if Windsor had come round yet. If he had and had told Manson her life was in danger. "Why does he hate me so much" Sam voiced her thoughts. Tears slipped out of her eyes and her brain went into overtime with unanswered questions. One question seemed to be burning a hole in her brain. Why? Why did he hate her? Why did he take his anger out on her? Why did he blame her for everything that went wrong? And most importantly. Why had he paid Windsor to do this to her?

The relief were gathered for another briefing. "I can confirm that it was DS Nixon's blood found on a piece of broken paving stone" Adam Okaro watched the shocked reaction of the relief. He looked closely at DI Manson; he was unusually pale and had a slightly haunted look about him. "If Samantha has been seriously injured then we must find her as quickly as possible" his voice was grave.

YES!! A Street sign and even better a phone box. Sam didn't have any money but so she had to ring 999 instead of Sunhill. After explaining to the operator what had happened, a police car was sent to take her to St. Hughes. The DCI was waiting for her when she got there "We've been worried sick. What happened? Are you okay?" his words spilled over one another in there rush to get out. When she didn't answer he repeated his question a concerned voice" Sam, are you okay" "No" her voice came out in a strangled sob "I've been raped" "Miss Nixon" a young nurse called out, a cheery smile on her face "the doctor wants to do a few tests" "When I'm finished I'll come to the nick, make a statement" the dull monotone voice had answered Jacks unasked question. "I'll wait for you" "I'd rather you didn't"

"So Windsor could have been knocked out, he could still be there" Jacks voice beamed with pride when he heard that Sam had whacked Windsor one. "Could you find the house again?" "From the phone box, yes" the DCI picked up the phone and began making arrangements. Sam hadn't told him about the DI. But, if had paid Windsor to do this to her, Sam wanted to see him put away. The DCI hung up the phone. "Gov, there's something I haven't told you." "Go on" "Windsor, he said, he said" Sam's mouth was suddenly dry "What did he say?" "That Manson paid him to do it" "Neil!"The DCI looked shocked "I know you don't like each other, but he has been the person most worried about you." "Probably wanted to cover his tracks. I am going to make a statement against him with or without your backing" her voice broke.

Jack helped her sit down. "Of course you'll have my backing" the Dice's voice was grimy, "But first I think we should try and catch Windsor" and out of Sam's earshot "Manson will wait"
