'Shit,' Nick said to himself as he looked around the van to see Smithy entering the warehouse at gunpoint, he went to grab his radio then realised that Smithy's radio would broadcast his message, he pulled out his phone, 'Dean, it's Nick, I need you to get a message to Insp Gold...'

'He's done what!' Gina couldn't believe it, 'that stupid...' she sat down. 'Right, I need all officers to change radio frequency, can you organise that please?'

'Yes, Ma'am,' Dean said before leaving the office.

Adam caught up with Gina in the coridor, 'Is what I'm hearing about Smithy right?'

'Unfortunatley, I've had all officers change their radio frequency,' she told him.

'SO19?'

'Already en-route, I'm going down there now.'

'What was he thinking?'

'Knowing Smithy he wasn't, when it comes to Cienna he's got tunnel vision,' Gina turned to him, 'that man will be the death of me!'

Adam smiled at her, 'I'll contact a negotiator, in case we need one.'

'Thanks,' she continued on to CAD, 'Dean, I need you to find Mickey Webb and Eva Sharpe, let them know what's happened and get them to meet me at the rendevous point.'

'Ma'am,' Dean turned to call the detectives.

'Can see why he fell for her, just can't see what she sees in him' Mickey commented.

'Don't think Smithy will appreciate that!' Eva looked at him then back to the endless wires and tubes connected to her.

'Can I help you?' Jenny Newman came up behind them.

'We're freinds of Smithy's, Mickey,' he told her.

'I'm Eva, how's she doing?'

'She's stable, could wake up at any time.' Jenny looked towards her daughter. 'How's Smithy doing, really?'

Mickey was caught offguard by the question, 'OK, I think. Haven't seen him since we've been back.'

RING, RING, RING,

'You can't have your phone on in here!' Jenny told Mickey off.

'Sorry, forgot, it's Sun Hill,' Mickey looked at Jenny 'we'd better go anyway, take care, we'll come back when she's awake. I'm looking forward to meeting her.'

Jenny smiled at the pair as they left, as soon as they got outside he dialled Sun Hills number, 'Hi, it's Mickey Webb... he's WHAT! OK we're on our way.'

Eva looked at Mickey, 'you're not going to believe this,' he told her.

'Nick,' Gina called over to where Nick was talking to Tony.

'Ma'am,'

'What happened?' she asked.

'Smithy spotted one of the suspects, he told me to radio in.' Nick didn't know how to tell Gina that Smithy had ignored her orders.

'And...' Gina prompted.

'He said he'd keep an eye on him while I radioed in, I tried to catch up with him and saw him being forced into the wherehouse at gun point.'

'How many people?'

'I only saw Maynard, I don't think he saw me.'

Smithy woke with a major headache and found himself handcuffed to a metal beam, he was lying on the floor and could see what was left of his radio smashed up on the floor.

'Good, you're awake, now you can tell me how many other pigs are outside.' Maynard looked at him.

'It was just me, I saw you and followed.' Smithy hoped he hadn't seen Nick, he also hoped Nick knew where he was.

'You expect me to believe that!' Maynard snarled at him.

'It's the truth!'

'Sure, doesn't really matter anyway, as long as I've got you I'm safe, aren't I?'

'Yeah, I guess so,' Smithy wasn't really that sure but he wasn't going to tell Maynard that.

'Oi, what are you doing?' Maynard asked as Smithy attempted to sit up.

'My arms are going numb,' Smithy told his as he continued to try to sit up.

'Tough', Maynard walked away.

Smithy continued to try to sit up but found he couldn't. All he could do was make himself more comfortable and try to reach for his keys.

'I don't know how many...' Maynard was on the phone.

'I can't see anyone outside...'

'He said he was alone...'

'He's a cop of course I dont believe him...'

'I didn't mean to hit that cop car...'

'Look you need to get me out of here...'

'No now...'

'Greg, the longer I'm here the more likely the pigs will show up...'

'Yeah.'

'He hit Cie,' Smith thought, 'he killed our baby.' Smithy couldn't think straight he lay there knowing that this man may have killed Cienna too.

'Right you, we need to get ready,' Maynard walked over to Smithy. Too late Smithy saw his ASP in Maynards hand, everything went black as he lost conciousness again.

SO19 were surrounding the building no one could get in or out.

Jo Masters was going to act as negotiator. She just hoped that Smithys phone would be answered.

'Hello, my name is Jo Masters from Sun Hill police. Is that Paul Maynard?'

'If anyone comes in here I'll kill him.'

'No ones going to go in and no ones going to die, agreed?'

You've been warned if you do what I say he'll be fine.'

'OK, first of all can I speak to Sgt Smith please.'

'Sorry love, he's taking a little nap right now.'

'Is he OK?'

'He's fine, just having trouble staying awake. I want a car with fuel and no tricks, any tricks and Sgt Sleepy will never wake up.' Maynard hung up.

'Damn,' Jo hung up.

'Is he OK?' Gina asked.

'I don't know, I'm guessing Maynard has knocked him out.'

'Guessing?'

'Maynard said he was sleeping. He wants a car.' Jo told Adam Okaro.

'What do you think?' Adam asked her.

'First we need to establish Smithy is alive.'

'I'll talk to SO19 see what they think about going in.'

'We don't know how may are in there, if SO19 go in Smithy could get killed!' Gina stopped him.

'If he'd called in like he was told we wouldn't be worrying about him. One way or another Maynard is coming into custody.' Adam tried to walk past her.

'You've got a duty of care towards Smithy, don't put his life in more danger than he already is.' Gina stood in front of him.

'He knew the danger when he went in there, you know as well as I do that if Maynard leaves with Smithy we may not see him again.' Adam walked past her to speak with SO19.
