Sorry about the long wait, I forgot that I hadn't posted Chapter 9 and was writing chapter 10, along with going to college and working! Lol. Sorry about the wait.

Chapter 9.

Des kept Sheelagh in the little flat for five nights. Every night he forced her to sleep with him. Sheelagh didn't attempt to look out of the window again. About midday on the sixth day, Des's mobile rang.

"About time!" Des muttered to himself before answering it. "What?" he answered.

'The cops are there.' the voice on the other end replied.

"What?" Des snarled then looked across at Sheelagh. "Who?"

'That Inspector…'

"Gold."

'And a black cop.'

Des turned to Sheelagh. "Who's the black cop?" he growled at her.

"Which one?" she asked innocently.

"The one at your house."

"I don't know." Sheelagh was petrified.

'What now?' The man on the other end of the phone interrupted.

"Me and Sheelagh are coming to you. Stay there." Des ordered and put the phone down. He turned to Sheelagh and pointed his gun at her. "Move it." He growled. Sheelagh obeyed immediately and Des grabbed her elbow. He hid his gun but kept it pointing at her. "We're going to your house." He grinned wickedly. He pushed her out into the street.

"Armed police drop your weapons and let Sheelagh and pointed the gun directly at her head.

"Don't move." Des ordered. He looked around and saw that he was outnumbered. He stepped back from Sheelagh, dropped his gun and put his hands up. Almost immediately he was surrounded.
