'Ma'am,' Dean watched Gina walk in.
'Anything?' she asked him.
'Negative, on the van but the owner is local DS Webb and DS Sharpe are trying to track him down now,' he told her, 'there is a report of a van fire on Canley Fields, from the fire service but it's burnt out we won't be able to trace it for a while.'
'Let me know as soon as you hear anything,'
'Ma'am,' he watched her walk out.
'Gina,' Adam caught up with her, 'anything?'
'No,' she stopped and looked at him, 'it's like they vanished into thin air.'
'At least we know they haven't got access to a police radio,' he told her.
'I guess,' she mumbled, remembering the smashed radio that had once been the property of Smithy lying on the floor of the warehouse.
'There was very little blood in there, he may be hurt but he's probably alive,' he told her as he grabbed her arm.
'Oh he'd better be,' she looked up at him, 'because I'm going to kill him.'
Adam smiled as she watched him walk away, he could tell that she was desperatley worried about him but Gina wasn't the type of woman to let people know how she was feeling. He watched her pick up her coat, 'going somewhere?'
'St Hughs, someone had better check on Cienna.'
'What will you tell her?'
'If she's awake the truth, she'd want to know.'
'Smithy won't like that,' he looked at her.
'Smithy's not here to stop me,' she told him as she walked away.

'So what happens now?' Smithy asked Maynard.
'We wait,' came the reply.
'What for?'
'Do you always ask this many questions?' Maynard looked at him.
'When I don't know what's going on, yes.'
'You sound like a copper,' Greg said walking in. Smithy smiled but didn't bother to remind them that he was a copper, he had a feeling it wouldn't be good for his health.
'Any chance of me going home?' Smithy asked Greg.
'You got somewhere to be?' Greg asked as he leaned down over Smithy.
'Hospital,' Maynard replieded for him, 'his bird is in there.'
'Oh well, she'll have to wait for loverboy then won't she,' Greg smiled at Smithy. 'C'mon Paul, we've got a job to do.' Greg and Maynard left the room, leaving Smithy to try and get free. It didn't take Smithy long to realize that he was only leaving when they were ready to let him go, he just hoped Cienna would forgive him for not being there if she woke up.

'How'd it go?' Phil asked Mickey and Eva as they walked back in.
'The owner ain't got a clue,' Mickey told him, 'it was there when he went to bed and when he went out to go to work it was gone.'
'That's helpful,' Phil said as he answered the phone.
'Right,' Eva sat down, 'let's think about this logically,' she smiled as Mickey rolled his eyes. 'Where in Sun Hill would they go?'
'If we knew that we wouldn't be sitting here?' Mickey grinned at her.
'You are soooo helpful Mickey no wonder you made DS,' Eva grinned back at him.
'I don't know why we're smiling,' Mickey suddenly looked serious, 'we know they've got guns and Smithy, personally I don't want to tell Cienna's mum whats happened.'
'Scary is she?' Ken asked
'Only if you use your phone in the hospital,' Eva replied.
'So who do they know?' Ken asked as he got up and went to start a list on the wall.
'Sharon Daly,' Mickey said, as Leela walked thru the door.
'Did you just say 'Sharon Daly'?' Leela asked Mickey.
'I sure did,' he smiled at her, 'do you know her?'
'I've just nicked her for shoplifting, she's asked to speak to and I quote 'that little copper and his bird who were at mine earlier' end quote.'
'Something you two want to tell us?' Phil smirked.
'We wanted to wait until after the baby,' Eva told him as she walked out of the office with Leela, both struggling to keep a straight face until they were well away from Phil.
'Nice touch,' Mickey said as he burst into laughter half way down the stairs.
'Did you see the look on his face?' Eva asked him.
'What a picture!'
'Mickey, Eva,' June saw them enter custody, 'nice to know you think Smithy being missing is funny!'
'Come off it June,' Eva looked at her, 'off course we don't think it's funny, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh at other things.'
'Yeah,' Mickey piped up, 'especially when it's at Phil Hunter''s expense.'
'I'll take your word for that, how can I help you?' June asked.
'We'd like to speak to Sharon Daly please,' Eva told her.
'She's in No 3,' June told her as she handed her the keys.
'Thanks,' Mickey took the keys.
'You took your time,' Sharon shouted at them as Mickey opened the flap and then the door, 'anyone would think you didn't want that copper back.'
'C'mon Sharon,' Mickey said as he looked at Eva. 'Let's find an interview room shall we.'
'Whatever,' Sharon said, 'I ain't in no hurry.'

'Hey,' Gina looked down at Cienna's unconcious body. 'you can't stay in bed forever, we need you back at the nick to keep that idiot boyfriend of yours in line.'
'You sound just like her,' Jenny told her.
'Do I?'
'Yeah, she's always telling him he's an idiot, that he could date anyone he wants,' Jenny looked at Gina, 'she hasn't got a high opinion of herself.'
'I know, but that's OK everyone else has a high opinion of her.' Gina said.
'Where is he?' Jenny asked, 'I take it he's done something silly?'
'You could say that,' Gina looked at her, 'he went after the guys who put Cienna and Luke in here.'
'And?'
'And, they've taken him hostage.' Gina looked down as Cienna again. 'I won't kill him if you tell me you'll take care of it Cienna.' Cienna didn't move, 'I'll take that to mean I can deal with him as I see fit.'
'Hey,' Jenny said, 'Cienna's going to need someone to look after her when she gets out of here,'
'Yeah?'
'Can you see Smithy playing nursemaid?' Jenny asked with a smile on her face.
'No not really,' Gina replied realizing she was smiling too.
'I say we let her teach him a lesson, it will help her recovery.'
'If you say so,' Gina looked back at Cienna.
