The only sound that could be herd was that of rushing feet from outside the locker room door. As Andrea and Kerry sat in silence in the locker room side by side.

Kerry: Remember when I accused Smithy of rape, well he didn't he would never do anything like that, but Gabreil would and he did.

Andrea: Why didn't you say anything, why didn't you tell anyone.

Kerry: Like anyone was going to believe it, no one would not after that article came out in the Daily news.

Andrea felt sick, her friend had been raped by there so called 'colleuage and friend' but what made it worse, because of that article the one she had wrote and because of that she had now been punished to, he had gotten away with it and now he had done it again, but why her, she didn't understand why he had picked her.

Andrea: Why did he do it?

Kerry: He was jelious, remember when I went out with Cameron, he was jelious of him, said I lead him on.

Andrea: He can't get away with this.

She stood up suddenely, anger and disgust in her voice.

Kerry: But he has, so what can we do?

Andrea: Well we could go to the Inspector.

Kerry: Oh come on, Who is going to believe me she certainly won't she dosn't like me remember.

Andrea: Yeah but we can both back it up.

Kerry: No, look if were going to get him, we need evedence.

Andrea: Like what?

Kerry: Well you now's there's something off about him, every since he came here. He's had accusation's made against him but they were mysteriously dropped, remember.

They was silence while she thought for a minuet.

Andrea: Well there was all that trouble on the Coal Lane when he was the beat officers.

Kerry: I remember that, he was accused of beating up some pedophile, but some one came forward and gave him an cover story.

Andrea: Yeah and do you remember who that was.

Kerry looked at her.

Kerry and Andrea: Laura!

Kerry was walking along the corridor when she saw June coming out f the Sergeant's office, and walked smack bang into Gabreil, who was deliberately blocking her way. She couldn't here what they were saying but she could tell something was going on June looked uncomfortable and Gabriel in control. Gabriel glanced at Kerry when he spotted her then walked of leaving June looking shaking.

Kerry walked into the writing room hoping to find Laura only to find Smithy.

Kerry: Sgt. have you seen Laura?

Smithy: Not recently, why is there a problem.

Kerry: No I just need to ask her something.

She turned but then had a thought. She walked back over and sat on the desk next to Smithy.

Kerry: Sgt., what's the problem, between Sgt. Ackland and Gabriel.

Smithy: What problem?

Kerry: Oh come on you must have noticed it, one time they were really close and now it's like, I don't now weird, nasty he come onto her really heavy and she just lets him get away with it.

Smithy: Personality clash.

Kerry: I'm worried about her it's not right, it's almost they haven't been in a fling have they?

Smithy burst into laughter

Smithy: An affair.

Kerry: Why are you laughing.

Smithy: Nothing, it's just em.

Kerry: What? Well there must be something going on because if I can see it so can other people.

Smithy: They have not had an affair

Kerry: Well there is definitely something going on.

Smithy: Well of course there is.

Kerry: What do you mean of course.

Smithy: Gabriel ... is June's son.

She hadn't heard correctly, she had wax in her ear, she must have.

Kerry: What? No, how that's impossible he's to old.

Smithy: She had him when she was a kid and gave him up for adoption.

Kerry: How could you possible now that?

Smithy: Remember when Gabriel, first came to the nick, we thought there was something off about him, so we did some digging.

Kerry: We?

Smithy: Me and Inspector Gold. And what should we find but his birth certificate. And to be honest I wish we hadn't.

Andrea had found Laura in the canteen, they started talking when she accidentally let it sip that Gabriel used to have his own bunch of thugs that used to go round and beat up people on the estate, as Laura told her about this, Andrea started to remember the reason why they had been beaten up, Roy Staford the pedophile, two young boys that had robbed a woman, loan sharks the list went on on and on. When Laura was called of to a shout Kerry came in and replaced her empty seat.

Kerry: We've got him.

Andrea: Laura spilled the beans.

Kerry: We've got him.

Andrea: How

Kerry: You are never going to believe this.

And Kerry told Andrea about what Smithy had said, but she also told her about her conversation with June she had, had. After talking to Smithy she had ran into June, and confronted her about Gabriel, but something came out, which was even better then what Smithy said. When she had. Andrea was stunned.

Andrea: False ID?

Kerry: Yeah I now, look he raped me OK but even if I can't prove that we can still put him away.

Andrea: She spilled the beans, Gabriel had his own group of thugs on the Coal lane. Remember all those people who got beaten up, Gabriel was behind it.

Kerry: I can't believe, he's gotten away with all this.

Andrea: Yeah, yeah I now.

Kerry: What's up?

Andrea had looked out of the window.

Andrea: If we get him with this, he'll be locked up, but he wont be locked up for what he did to me and to you.

Kerry: I now, but it's better then nothing.

Two days latter Andrea had found herself in the writing room, she was doing some work for CID. She and Kerry were still gathering the evedence they needed. They hadn't told anyone until they were completely sure. They had been no leads on the rape case, but Andrea new this, Gabriel was clever he'd have covered his tracks. He was also starting to get suspicious. He kept looking at them every time Andrea and Kerry were discussing it, and it was starting to freak Andrea out. Meanwhile Neil had kept to his word, he was spending a lot more time with Andrea more then he used to and she was glad of it. She started to feel they were in a proper relationship. She didn't feel so much alone anymore like she had done, and she thought maybe he was right, they could get threw this.

A door opened and in came Terry carrying a pile of tapes.

Terry: Hey Andrea, the DCI has asked you to look threw these aswell.

Andrea: Great another ten hours of traffic.

Terry: Hum , sorry but orders from above.

Andrea: Yeah thanks.

He smiled at her and departed. She took a long deep sigh before, gradually starting to go threw the tapes. By the fourth she had completely for gotten what she was meant to be looking for. She sat there in a trance watching the screen, when the camera changed, so it was filming down the same street she had walked down on that Tuesday night. It was dark and she saw a woman walking down the street with a denim jacket and a small cream hand bag on her shoulder and long dark hair, the same as her. She sat up in her chair slowly and looked at the corner of the screen at the date and time, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It couldn't have been, Ken said there wasn't any CCTV. She looked back at the screen that was definitely her she'd bet her life on it. Her heart then leapt a black figure had appeared behind her, wearing a hood. She couldn't tell if it was him, as he had his back to the camera, but then it happened. He did it, he turned around. Andrea pressed the pause button and stared into the face of the man who had raped her, the man she worked with, the man she had once'd considered a friend. Gabriel Kent.

Quick question: Anyone think the Bill should have and opening title like Neighbors? With a catchytune and each character appearing with there name? Just wondering.
