A big thanks to all my reviewers for their comments, nearly done now, I hope you are all enjoying reading it as much as I am writing it!
The relief sat round the tables in the canteen, the air suppressed "This is a nightmare" said Honey "Poor Pol, she's been through so much and now this!"
"Cathy might not have her though, she did have leave booked, she might of ignored the Inspectors order that all leave is cancelled and gone anyway" said Gabriel
"No way!" said Tony heatedly "Polly's not like that!"
Gabriel stood up "I was just trying to cheer everyone up" he said "If you are all intent in believing Polly's at the mercy of that nutcase then go ahead, personally I think she's already dead, and watch out the rest of you who crossed Bradford, you could be next!"
Tony stood up trying to push his way past Steve and Reg who were holding his arms "You unfeeling bastard!" spat Tony "Polly is a valued member of our team and with an attitude like that I can't see that you are doing much to help us find her!"
"Oh calm down! I'm just voicing an opinion, I'm looking as hard as anyone"
"Heads up, here's Smiffy!" warned Steve
"Everything alright?" he asked sensing unease
"Fine, Smiffy" said Nick
"Right refs over, c'mon lets get back out there and find Polly!" he ordered
They filed out of the canteen, muttering about Gabriel.
Reg sat in front of the computer, going through all Polly's bank and credit card details, suddenly he stood up kicked the chair over in his haste and ran to Inspector Gold's office.
"Sierra Oscar to all units" the call came over the radio, with Gina's voice sounding impatient and scared at the same time "Proceed to Bank of London, Canley Square, a withdrawal has been made from PC Pages' bank account 15 minutes ago, suspect was in a police uniform, driving a grey ford saloon car, over"
CAD was flooded with responses, Gina dialled Smithy's mobile "Smithy, when you get there detail June to take statements, the rest of you search the area for the grey saloon"
"Ok Gina, we got a Reg number?"
"No, CID will meet June down there" she cut the call and left CAD on her way to CID, she encountered Gary on her way "What are you doing here?" she demanded he was supposed to be on patrol
"I can't find Gabriel again Ma'am, the cars' gone"
Gina thought for a moment "Right, well do something useful then, put an all ports alert out on Polly and Bradford"
"Ma'am"
DS Roan and A/DI Nixon were discussing the interview they had just done on their way back to the station, Juliet was driving, she pulled the car over as the Sunhill Area car blasted up behind her lights and sirens blaring, followed by 2 panda cars and the ARV "What the?" exclaimed Sam, she got out her phone and dialled Phil's mobile, she grilled him when he answered, about what was going on
"I've been ordered down to the bank to take over from sergeant Ackland" he told her "There's been a withdrawal made from Polly's account, Uniform are searching the area" he said
"Well that explains the cavalry" said Juliet as Sam relayed what Phil had told her, just as a grey saloon car shot across the crossroads they were sitting at "Well don't just sit there!" said Sam "Cathy's in a grey saloon, go on!"
Juliet floored the accelerator and spun the wheel, shooting after the car, as Sam phoned through to CAD with the information.
Juliet followed Cathy's erratic driving at a distance "Looks like we're headed for the docks" said Sam into her phone, looking round as she heard sirens the area car joined the chase and overtook both cars, Juliet got a glimpse of Yvonne in the drivers seat, and Des is profile as they flashed by. Looking in the mirror Juliet saw the ARV gaining on her, Smithy at the wheel with Honey beside him, she prepared to slow down and let him past but he pulled behind them, his face a mask of concentration.
Juliet was bemused as Cathy suddenly screeched round a corner, losing Yvonne and Des, Sam grabbed the dashboard as Juliet swung the car round and the back end skipped out slightly.
Cathy drove fast through the narrow alleys between the storage sheds at the docks, Juliet followed her, leaving a little distance so she could react to Cathy's unpredictable driving, Suddenly the buildings gave way to the dock front Cathy did not slow down at all as Yvonne and Des appeared from no where in the area car, braking sharply in the path of Cathy's car, the grey car slammed into the side of the area car pushing it forward towards the dockside. Juliet, Smithy and the panda car drivers braked and they all watched in horror as Cathy revved the cars' engine even more, pushing the area car into the water and allowing the car she was driving to dive nose first into the dock.
