A/N: It seems like so long since I updated but that may just be because I'm back to school, so I'll not be updating very often now.
Thanks to all my fatastic reviewers- Becki, Vikki and Stacey Ellen! You all make me smile lol
Chapter 7
"Well?" Terry asked the second Zain came through the door.
"I don't know." He said simply
"You were away for 3 hours! What were you doing?"
"Nothing" Zain answered a little too quickly
"You did nothing?"
"No, I talked to the girlfriend…"
"Your ex?" Terry interrupted
"Yeah. She says he didn't do it."
"And you believe her?"
"I believe she thinks he didn't do it"
"Well what do you expect me to do?"
"Can I sit in on the interview?" Zain asked
"Sure" Terry agreed
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Can you explain the amount of coke we found in your possession?" Terry asked.
"I didn't put it there. I was framed" David said, sounding desperate, "Zain, tell him." Zain remained silent
"Now I don't think that you're the type of guy to set up an operation like this." Terry said, "You're not nearly smart enough. So I'll ask again, who're you working for?"
"Zain, please" David pleaded
"Just give him the names David; you'll get a lighter sentence." Zain replied. David looked from Zain to Terry and sighed,
"Fine. If I gave you the names, will I get bail?" he said hopefully. Zain stared at him. He had actually been beginning to think that he was innocent. Terry glanced at him with an 'I told you so' look on his face.
"You may get bail Mr. Hood, but it's unlikely" Terry said
"Please. I just want to see my girlfriend one last time." Zain frowned, feeling an unexpected wave of jealousy rush through him. It was stupid though. He didn't still love Marie. Them sleeping together again had been a mistake. He'd betrayed David enough for one lifetime.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Zain" the DCI called to him as soon as he left the interview, "Sam's asked me to clear some undercover work for you. Where've you been?"
"Helping Terry with a case." Zain said, "So can we do it?"
"Yeah, but I want you to take Sam with you. Pretend your going out or something. A single guy walking in the park just doesn't look realistic"
"Guv" Zain nodded, pleased to have something to take his mind off Marie.
"You can do it tomorrow then"
"Guv" he nodded again
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
He arrived home late after nearly a full day of paperwork. He threw down his jacket on a chair and went to the kitchen to get himself a drink,
"You come in the door and head straight to the fridge. It's good to know some things never change." Marie's voice came from behind him
"How did you get in here?"
"Spare key under the doormat" she said, moving closer to him. He took a step back,
"What do you want?"
"We need to talk"
"About what?"
"Us."
"There is no us"
"Earlier on…"
"Was a mistake" he interrupted, sounding firmer than he felt
"But…"
"I'm sorry; I can't do this to David, not again."
"Fine" she said, turning around and stalking out. Zain sighed and ran a hand through his hair. It was only when he heard her car starting up he realized she'd taken his spare key with her. She apparently intended to call again then. A small part of him was pleased that she was returning, whilst the other was worried that his willpower wouldn't hold out for a second visit.
