On arrival at the hospital, Adam went strait into Rhesus. And Andrea found Ken and Terry already there waiting for her.
Terry: Is that are Mr. Vicars?
Adam was wheeled passed them by nurses, and out of site threw double doors.
Andrea: Yep he went into shock in the ambulance there taking him into rhesus, and his names not Vicars, it's Adam Collins, there's two changes of cloths in this bag.
She shows Terry, Adam's drivers license.
Ken: Listen do you think he was on a job?
Andrea: Well it would explain the driving.
Ken: Right, I'm gonna get Rob to check this out on Crimit.
Ken disappeared.
Terry: Right Andrea, fill me in, if he was on a job were going to need some details.
CAD, Dean and Smithy every computer's going off.
Smithy: This is mental, we've got total grid lock across half of Sun Hill, we've got car's not even taking short cuts threw private property.
Just then Dean's computer starts beeping.
Dean: Sgt., I've got a central station hold up alarm, suspected robbery now at the National Equity Bank, Malem Street.
Smithy: Great that's all we need.
Dean: Most people our tied up in the RTA.
Smithy: Right, OK I want SO19 and the Area Car down to the bank now, get onto the traffic division and tell them to take over at the RTA and all available officers to get down to the bank, tell them I'll meet them down there. You better get onto Branswell, inform the Supt an the Inspector and get onto Sheelagh and June, conference or not we need them back here now.
Smithy walked out of CAD.
The nurses had staplelised Adam.
Nurse: OK he's stable, you can have two minuets with him, but please don't agitate him.
The nurse walked of behind a screen, Terry walked up to Adam, Andrea standing behind him a little way back.
Terry: We found your gun Mr. Collins, that is your name isn't it, Adam Collins.
Adam: Gun, what gun?
Terry: The one in your holder in your car.
He lifts up a balaclava in an evidence bag.
Terry: Along with this, and don't give me any mush, about popping down to the supermarket for tea bags, OK
Andrea: Terry
Adam: I don't now what your talking about
Terry: Yes you do Adam, and this is you last chance to CO – operate so I'd take it if I were you.
Adam: Where's Andrea, I want to see Andrea.
Andrea: I'm here's
Andrea comes up behind Terry
Terry: Do you now what I think, I think your planing an armed robbery, unless your gonna tell me your a hit man on the job
Adam: I don't now what you mean, I can't say what I don't now.
Nurse: Excuse me?
Andrea: Terry?
Terry and Andrea walk back away from Adam.
Andrea: I don't think he's up to this right now, let me speak to him I've already made an connection with him.
Terry: OK, I'll wait outside
Andrea: Thank you.
Terry walked out of Reuses, and finds Ken.
Ken: Terry? I just got of the phone to Rob. There's a central station hold up alarm at the National Equity Bank.
Terry: That's what half a mile from the RTA
Ken: Which means Collins, could have been on his way there, until he meet the back of the truck.
Terry: Has Collins got form?
Ken: Well you now, some old convictions mostly for car theft and criminal damage, but nothing recent and certainly nothing for robbery.
Terry: Who are his mates?
Ken: Verus know associates, the heaviest of which are a Trevor Willets and Vick Jones, just released for Long March after doing five years for serious assault.
Terry: So if Willets or Jones are in the bank, that's a serious step up to armed robbery.
Ken: Maybe they learned some new tricks in side.
Terry: So if Collins is armed who ever's in the bank could be armed, we'd better warn CAD.
Meanwhile Tony, drove down Malem Street in the Area car, and everything seem calm and quite, people going about the normal shopping days. He pulled up outside the National Equity Bank and got out.

At the Hospital Terry and ken were about to head back to the nick but before that they called Smithy, with an up date.
Terry: Smithy it's Terry, yeah were still at the hospital, listen we think we may have ID one of the suspects a guy named Trevor Willets, a string violent by all accounts. No nothing yet on who he's working with.
Ken: Tell him about the clothes
Terry: Oh yeah, Collins was found with two sets of clothes but he's not saying anything, were going to go back to the nick and see if we can get a picture of Willets
Ken: And check the street cameras
Terry: And were also going to check the CCTV, yep, OK, cheers.
Smithy: Cheers Terry.
Smithy walks over to Chris, there both still standing against the bank.
Smithy: CID reckon that the guy inside the bank is Trevor Willets, right that down. And did you make a note of the previous call 10: 36, I asked for SO19, Dogs, TSG and a helicopter. Serria Oscar form 54 any contact form the bank yet?
Dean: 54, no contact we think the lines been cut
Smithy: OK try once more and if you can't get and answer I'll try voice contact.
Dean: Received.
Terry and Ken had re – turned to nick, they were up in CID. They had ID Trevor Willets and had found a picture of him. They were going threw the CCTV from outside the bank and see Trevor Willets enter the Bank with a bag, but no one else.
Ken: Well at least we've ID Willets, but wear's the others, you don't do a bank job on your own.
Terry: Maybe the others went in earlier.
Ken: Oh yeah.
Terry: Well at least now who it is, we'd better tell Smithy, come on.
Back at the Bank:
Dean: 54 form Serria Oscar
Smithy: 54 go ahead
Dean: 54, there's still no answer from the bank, we've got SO19 stuck in traffic, the junction on Rudkin rd is grid locked, they can't get the van threw, the Goviner's on his way back to London but we've got no ETA, over.
Smithy: Received, well we can't stand around and wait, I'm going o try and make a voice contact.
Smithy walked slow towards the door of the bank, his back against the wall, he kneeled forwards toward the door.
Smithy: Inside the bank, this is the police! I'm Sgt. Smith form Sun Hill will you talk to me.
Nothing
Smithy: Is everyone all right!
Trevor: Lady bird, lady bird fly away home -
Smithy walked backwards quickly as Trevor Willets came out of the bank carrying a gun.
Trevor: - your house is burnt down and your children are gone.
He looks at Smithy.
Trevor: Well, well so glad you could join us see where having a bit of a party in here.
He suddenly lifted the gun at Smithy
Trevor: Don't you try anything, we've got hostages woman and kids.
Smithy: No one's going to do anything, I just nee to now that everyone's OK.
Trevor: Well just shut up and listen! I want a car with a full tank of petrol, and you've got four minuets
Smithy: You've got to give me more then five minuets, I need to speak to Senior officers
Trevor: Senior officers, do you need to see blood before you start talking me seriously! WELL DO YA! Bye bye then, see ya!
He slowly walked back in to the bank and disappeared.
Andrea was still at the hospital with Adam when Terry and Ken re – appeared. They walked over to him and showed him the photo of Willets.
Terry: Come on we now Trevor Willetes is in the bank, so it's pointless holding out on us now, who else is in there with him, is it Vick Jones? Come on Collins there's other people in that bank, there's lives at stake here.
Andrea: We also now that you and Willets have history, and on your last outing Willets drew four years and you walked, so what? So what is that why your protecting him because you feel guilty?
Adam: Look I thought I'd made a fresh start, then out comes Trevor, Louisa did like him so what could I do? He said a job for me, all debts re paid.
Terry: You didn't have t listen to him, you could have walked away
Adam: He said I owed him big time, that I should stop taking orders from Louisa, if i didn't shut her up, he would do.
Andrea: He was threatening your wife, you should have gone to the police.
Adam: Is that what you would have done? A mad man like Trevor Willets.
Andrea: I'm not the one facing years in prison.
Adam: I don't now anything all right, I was just the get away driver.
Terry and Andrea stared at him
Adam: He didn't tell me a thing it was strictly need to now.
Terry: Come on you were found with two sets of clothes, who else is with him?
Adam: With him? There's no one else with him he's doing this all on his own.
Andrea and Terry looked at each other then went and found Ken in the corridor.
Terry: Do you believe him?
He looked at Andrea
Andrea: Gut instinct I think he's telling the truth.
Ken: Look I still don't see why he'd do a step up to using arms OK, according to his records Willets was only ever miner lege.
Terry: Well maybe its a bid for respect, maybe he wanted to be noticed.
T eh three of them start walking down the corridor.
Ken: Listen we should check out his last know address maybe we can find something that Smithy can persuade him with.
Terry: Agreed, Andrea were going to take you to the bank.
Andrea :But surely I should stay with Collins
Terry: No, you've don a god job, but all hands are needed down there.
Andrea sighed, going down to the bank meant facing Chris and everyone else.
