Chris: ANDREA!
The scene was smoke, every where you looked, and Andrea was no where to be seen, 'Where is she?' Chris thought frantically, 'Where is she, why did she move, from behind the car?'
Chris: ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME!
Gabreil came running up to Chris and tried to pull him away as he was on there verge of tears.
Chris: ANDREA ANSWER ME!
Meanwhile SO19 had surrounded Willets' and disarmed him they had him on the floor, and arrested him, while laughing madly.
Willet's wife was in shock, on the verge of fainting Tony and the others, were trying to calm her down as well as the crowds.
Gary: What's going on Tony, what about Andrea?
Tony: I don't now, get back to the inner cordon.
As the dust settled Andrea came into focus, she was lying on the ground not moving, Gabriel and Chris ran up to her, Gabreil got on the floor next to her.
Gabreil: Andrea? Andrea? Can you here me, it's Gabreil.
Chris nealt down next to her, in shock.
Gabreil: Get a paramedic.
Chris didn't move
Gabreil: Get a paramedic now, go on! Andrea it's Gabreil can you here me.
Chris still didn't move, however Andrea had.
Gabreil: She's coming round, come on up you get.
He helped her to neal against what was left of the car, she was covered in black suit and dust, with cut's on her face.
Gabriel: You all right?
Andrea: Where's Jake?
Gabriel: Just stay were you are
Andrea: Where's Jake?
Gabriel: Don't look
Andrea: Where is he?
She had started to fidget, try to see where Jake was
Andrea: Where is he!
Gabriel: He's dead.
Andrea stared at him, half conscious. The paramedic's came running round the corner, they checked her out and put her on a stretcher, and took her to the ambulance, were she sat in the back, with Chris waiting to leave.
Andrea: I saw it happen, but it was too late, I saw him get the bomb of but it was too late ...
Chris: This is not your fault, you shouldn't have been there in the first place.
He looked to make sure the paramedic wasn't listening.
Chris: And when you give your statement, I wasn't with you, OK As far as you were concerned you were with Jake and I was in the inner cordon, OK?
Smithy: 692 from 54 what's your position over?
Chris: I'm in the ambulance with Andrea, just about to leave for St. Hughes, over
Smithy: No, I need you here to continue with the incident log.
Chris looked at Andrea then jumped out of the ambulance
Chris: Andrea's fine Sgt., thanks for asking.
Smithy: Good, now get yourself back here.
Gabriel: Don't worry about it Chris, that wasn't deliberate
Chris: What you mean?
Gabriel: Smithy wouldn't put Andrea's life in danger on purpose, look you'd better go before you get yourself in more trouble, I'll look after Andrea.
Chris taking one last look at his sister he reluctantly, when back to the bank, as he turned into the street, the crowds had gone, so had SO19, Willet's had been put in the van and was driven away, most of the cars had gone along with Willet's wife and half of the Sun Hill relief.
Back at Sun Hill the Supt and Inspector had arrived back from Branswell, to a welcome party of the press. As they drove up to the main entrance.
Gina: Take us round the back
Adam: No, no let's hit the ground running, I thought it was bad back at the course.
The car stopped and the press surrounded the car as they got out.
Adam: At this stage I can confirm that there was an explosive device and a man has died, when I am briefed I will come out and talk to you.
They walked towards the doors, when Julie Willet's came out followed by Tony who was trying to stop her.
Julie: Why did you officers say it was a fake! It's because of you that he is dead!
The press went mad
Adam: I'm sorry who are you?
Julie: My name is Julie Willet's I was there.
Adam stood there looking confused.
Press: What did you say Julie?
Julie: THE BOMB! THEY SAID IT WAS A FAKE, JAKE MUST HAVE MOVED!
Press: What's your response to what she said.
Together, Gina and Tony managed to drag Mrs. Willets back into the building.
Adam: I will be out to answer your questions as soon as I can!
Adam followed at Gina's heels. Mrs. Willet's was taken to Adam's office she was still hysterical.
They walked in, Adam closing the door he then tried to calm her down.
Julie: Nobody let me talk to him properly, I'm mean I went there to help, what help could I be stuck outside, they pushed me away that wasn't right. Trevor was there because of me, so why couldn't I talk to him, I could have promised him anything, anything but not this.
Adam: It's a tragic loss, I'm very sorry
Julie: I could have helped
Adam: Come on Mrs. Willet's sit down (she sat) can we go back to what you said down stairs, I'm sorry to have to ask you this but it's very important, what exactly did my officers say about the bomb?
Julie: They said it was a dummy, they said it wasn't real
She began to sob UN - controllably
Adam: Come on, your obviously in shock, lets get you checked out.
Yvonne and Honey were walking along the corridor, both of them silent.
Yvonne: You all right?
Honey: Yeah
Gina: Ladies?
They both turned to see Inspector Gold coming in there direction.
Gina: Tell everyone who was at the bank I want a hot de – brief, in ten minuets
Yvonne: Andrea and Gabreil are still at St. Hughes, ma'am
Gina: And where's Sgt. Smith?
Honey: He's still at the scene ma'am, or he was when we left.
Gina: Everyone else ten minuets, oh and no one talking to the press they already no too much already and the Supt is not a happy bunny!
She disappeared.
Up in the DI's office the Supt waited alone with Sam for Neil to get back, he had been down at Barton street and hadn't heard about to bomb or Andrea. The door of the office and he came in closing it behind him.
Nil: Sir, what's this I here about a bomb?
Adam: National Equity Bank, Malem street, armed robbery gone wrong, the assailant, Trevor Willet's attached a bomb the the manager and the bomb went of killing him and injuring one of our officers.
Neil: Who?
Adam: PC Dunbar.
He froze, a mixture of numbness and panic taking over him he was routed to the spot, surely he hadn't heard correct.
Neil: Who?
He hopped his voice sound normal
Sam: Andrea.
He had heard properly
Neil: Is she OK?
Adam: She's fine luckily, however we've got other problems?
Sam: Such as?
Adam: The victims partner's saying that an officer or officers, calmed the devices was a fake. If that's true were in the hot seat with division and probably the yard, and the press are already on it, we need to find out if this was handled properly.
Neil: You think it wasn't
His professionalism was slowly coming back to him
Adam: Until we get forensics back, we have no idea how or why that bomb exploded. In the meantime I want you both to interview everyone that was there.
Sam: Why us, shouldn't Inspector Gold I mean it is her team
Adam: Too close, I don't want loyalty being a probable, I want this handled objectively.
Sam: Yes sir
Adam: MIT will be here by four, use who ever you need.
And with that he left the room, Sam turned face him.
Sam: Shall I'll get a list of everyone that was at the scene.
Neil didn't answer he was to busy staring out of the window
Sam: Gov?
Neil: Yes.
He didn't look at her but continued to star and the street lamp opposite the road.
Sam: Sir.
Sam decided to leave, not wanting to ask or to stick around. If Neil was in a mood she new it were best to leave him to it. Neil stood at the window for a minute then had a sudden idea, he turned to his desk and picked up his phone.
Answer Phone: ''Hi this is Andrea, I'm too busy to take your call so as long as your not a weirdo you can leave a message OK, Bye''.
His heart sank, more panic spreading threw him and also at the sound of Andrea's mock and happy voice made him feel worse. He put his phone in his pocket and pulled his desk phone towards him. To dial St. Hughes.
Andrea had arrived at the Hospital along with Gabriel, she had been checked out and she was fine nothing but being shaken up. The curtain pulled back of the cubicle she was in, a nurse came out and as he passed Gabriel asked.
Gabriel: Is she OK?
Nurse: Yeah she's fine
As the nurse walked off, Gabriel walked towards Andrea who was doing up the last three buttons of her shirt, her hands were shaken like mad.
Gabriel: They say your all right then, come on girl, you've had a lucky escape.
Andrea: Yeah I did yeah ...
Her voice was shaking along with the rest of her body.
Andrea: But he was right in front of me ... one moment he was talking to me then the next ... he had this huge whole in him
Gabriel: Yeah I saw, now don't blame yourself,
Andrea: Can't help it
Gabriel: I t wasn't your fault Andrea, blame it on the situation you were put in maybe, the stress of the situation the pressure, the distractions
Andrea: What do you mean?
Gabriel: You didn't put that bomb on him did you? It's not your fault.
Gina: Oh Adam!
Gina came out of her office to catch up with Adam in the corridor
Gina: I've arrange a hot de – breath, I've left Smithy a message, you now what he's like probably blames himself
Adam: Cancel the de – brief I want Neil and Samantha to deal with it
Gina: Why?
Adam: Because of Mrs. Willet's complaint, I wan the interview's done sperate.
Gina: But I could get to the bottom of it.
Adam: Let CID handle it, your too close
Gina: If that's the way you want it.
She stormed of to her office, half in mood
Gabriel and Andrea had pulled up in the yard, she was half out of the car when Gabriel called at her.
Gabriel: You OK?
Andrea: I'm OK
Gabriel: Well take your time if you need to sort it out in your head, get your story straight
Andrea got back into the IRV
Gabriel: Have you and Chris had a chance to agree on anything?
Andrea: Agree on what?
Gabriel: On what happened, I mean how are you going to tell it.
She close the car door
Andrea: I don't now what your talking about
Gabriel: I was there Andrea, I saw you. I saw you argue with Chris and leave the victim on his own, running back when you thought you had screwed up, I know what happened Andrea, so I now that's why you feel so guilty
Andrea looked at him in horror.
Gabriel: Don't worry I wont tell anyone, but you and Chris need to get your stories straight, I f you don't your finished
He got out of the car leaving her half stunned half numb in the car.
