'Don't look so worried,' he said to Cienna, 'I'm not going to hurt you.'

'Then why am I here? Why can't I leave?' she asked as he sat on the bed next to her, she moved to the other side of the bed.

'You're here for your own protecton,' he told her, 'I've seen how he treats you. You deserve better.' Cienna stared at him, did he believe what he was saying?

'I don't know what you think you've seen but he would never hurt me.' Cienna couldn't believe she was having this conversation!

'You didn't watch the tape, did you?' he asked.

That did it for Cienna, 'You bastard! Who do you think you are? You break into my flat steal my clothes,' she pointed to her clothes which were still lying on the floor, 'and worse you video me and Smithy in our bed!' Cienna was now too furious to be scared, except he was smiling.

'When I found out about the two of you it explained so much,' he tried to explain, 'you couldn't be yourself not when you knew as soon as you got home you'd be forced into bed.'

'Smithy has never forced me to do anything,' she told him,' he doesn't need to,I love him,I want to make him happy.'

'Pity he doesn't feel the same,' he looked at her, 'he doesn't even care you're classed as missing.'

'I don't believe you, he's good at hiding his feelings just 'cos you don't see it don't mean he doesn't feel it.' Cienna had to defend Smithy, no matter her doubts.

'I watched him leave with Kerry this morning,' he told her.

Cienna closed her eyes, he was lying Smithy wouldn't abandon her, he wouldn't take advantage of the situation and go back to Kerry, would he? 'No,' she told herself, 'this is what he wants, he's jealous of us, he'd love to split us up.'

'Liar,' she finally said, 'you'd say anything if you thought it would get me to hate him.' She hoped she sounded like she believed in Smithy, she knew he wouldn't go off with Kerry while she was 'missing', problem was she didn't trust Kerry with Smithy, and she didn't trust Smithy's ability to resist Kerry.

'He knows how to get inside your head,' he told her as he got up, 'he did it to Kerry too, he raped her then made out it was consensual when he knew she had been so drunk she wouldn't be able to remember clearly. She was a mess trying to figure out what he had done.'

'They were both drunk, she never tried to stop him, she didn't give him any indication she didn't want him too. She never made it official, she admitted it wasn't rape! Hell they're even friends!' Cienna was so busy trying not to yell at him she never saw him produce a second set of handcuffs. When she did see them he was on top of her. He cuffed her and then tied a chain between the bed and the cuffs. She could move around but couldn't escape him.

'I know right now you have no reason to trust me,' he told her, as he went to put another video into the machine, 'but I'll prove to you I've got your interest at heart.'

He turned the video on, it was her bathroom, she was in the shower. She stared open mouthed at him as he watched the screen.

'You don't need to spend so much time in the gym you know,' he told her as he sat down next to her.

'Here we go,' he said pointing at the screen, Cienna looked up to see herself in the shower, she watched herself turn around to find Smithy leaning against the sink wearing nothing but a towel. Cienna reached out of the shower pulled the towel away and pulled Smithy into the shower.

'You should have locked the door, then he wouldn't have been able to get you into THAT position,' he told her.

'I don't see me objecting, in fact it looks like I'm enjoying it,' for now Cienna didn't have much choice but to play it his way. At least until she could get out of the cuffs.

-----

Smithy couldn't remember the last time he'd slept, Cienna had now been missing for over 2 days. Everyone was telling him she'd be fine. He'd believe that when he had his arms around her again. He knew he'd eaten Kerry had made sure of it, she'd slept on the sofa whilst he tossed and turned in Cienna's bed. He knew Cienna wouldn't appreciate Kerry being there but he needed someone to be there and out of everyone at Sun Hill Kerry was second only to Cienna. He was still sleeping or at least staying at Cienna's, he needed to be in Cienna's bed, they'd spent so much time there together it was the one place he felt closest to her.

Gary had that excited look that everyone knew on his face as he almost knocked Smithy over on his way to the DCI's office. Smithy shouldn't have been at the station at all but he couldn't just sit by the phone waiting for news, he'd told Gina he'd got loads of paperwork to do, it'd help take his mind off the thought that he'd never see Cienna again. In reality he couldn't concentrate and seemed to be finding lots of reasons to go up to CID. He knew they wouldn't tell him anything if he waited for them. Gary obviously thought he was on to something so Smithy followed him to Jack's office.

'Yes Gary?' Jack asked.

'I've got the photographer!' he replied.

'Are you sure?' Jack asked as he followed Gary back to the CID office. Smithy followed them back all he needed was an address and he'd go get her.

Gary went over to the TV where he'd been going through all the CCTV tapes, as no one else had wanted to do it. Gary knew they thought it was a crap job which is why they gave it to him, but it needed doing and Cienna was his friend, he'd do anything to help.

'This is CCTV from the car park at the flat,' he said turning the video on. 'See this car here?' he pointed to the green astra in the corner, pausing for dramatic effect.

'Yes, butI don't see anyone with it,' Jack replied, the problem with Gary was he didn't cut to the chase quick enough.

Gary ignored him and put another tape in, 'Another day, same car,' He pointed out the astra.

'Gary,' Debbie started, how come she always had to set him straight, 'It could be anyone's car. Just 'cos it's there doesn't mean the driver took the pictures.'

'OK Gary,' Neil said, 'you've got everyone's attention, why do you think this car is connected to the photos?'

'This,' Gary put in a 3rd tape. It showed that same green astra with a man sitting in the drivers seat taking pictures. Smithy didn't recognise the man but did note the date, he was pretty sure that was the day they'd washed the cars. No wonder they hadn't seen him.

Smithy might not recognise the man but he did recognise a registration plate when he saw one, they could trace this guy! Smithy followed them out Jack turned to him,

'Sorry Smithy, you're staying here.'

'What! NO! That guy knows where she is!' he couldnt believe Jack expected him to wait in the nick when Cienna could be hurt or worse.

'Yeah, he probably does, which is why you're staying here. He can't tell us anything if you put him in the hospital.' Jack looked around relieved to see Terry and Ken moving to block Smithy's path if he still tried to follow them.

'As soon as we have an address, you'll be the first to know.' Jack left with Neil and Gary. Gary looked back at him and mouthed 'I'll call' to Smithy, Jack and Neil probably wouldn't call him but Smithy believed Gary would.
