Guilt chapter 10
They dropped onto a bench together, scanning the growing crowds in the park. Yet still, none of the people seemed like they would be drug dealers. Suddenly, Zain caught sight of Marie standing at the opposite end of the park, waving franticly at Zain. He looked away quickly, not wanting her to have any kind of hope that he would change his mind, despite the fact he desperately wanted to.
"Who's that?" Sam asked
"No-one." He answered quickly.
"She's waving at you."
"She's no one." He repeated
"That's the girl you slept with isn't it?" Sam guessed.
"No." He answered too quickly
"It is, isn't it?" Sam laughed
"It's not funny." He snapped, thinking that he used to be a better liar than this.
"Sorry" Sam said, seriously, "But you'd better go get rid of her."
"Fine." He said, standing up, and kissing her cheek foe the authenticity, and headed in the direction of the toilets, before doubling back to where Marie stood waiting for him.
"What?" he snapped as soon as he saw her.
"I thought you might want some help."
"Help? With what?"
"You're looking for drug dealers, right?" he nodded, "I know who they are."
"How do you know that?"
"David knows all of the other dealers in this area."
"So you knew he was a dealer? You lied to me!"
"And you used me for sex. I think that makes us even. Do you want the information or not?"
"Depends." He said. She looked shocked that he hadn't just accepted her offer straight away
"On what?"
"On what you want in return."
"I don't want anything." She said, reaching up, and sliding her arm around his shoulders. He flinched as he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
"It was a wasp." Marie said, answering his unasked question, "Now do you want the dealer or not?"
"Go on then." Zain said, shrugging her arm off and reaching a hand up to his neck, wondering if it really had been a wasp.
"It's them." She said, nodding in the direction of the loved up young people that had been in the park when they'd arrived.
"Them?" Zain asked sceptically.
"Would I lie to you?" she asked with a smirk.
"Who are they?" he asked with a sigh, knowing that he didn't have much else to go on.
"Rick and Becki Michaels."
"The ones that kicked your door down?" She nodded, "Right, thanks." He said awkwardly, and started to head back towards an impatient looking Sam.
"Wait." Marie called after him. He stopped and turned to face her once again, "Becki Michaels isn't her maiden name."
"I guessed." Zain said dryly, turning to go again
"Her real names Becki Taylor." She shouted after him. He stopped again and turned around,
"Becki Taylor? As in my ex girlfriend Becki Taylor?" Marie nodded,
"I just thought you should know before you arrested her."
"Any more people in our class dealing drugs that I should know about?" he asked disbelief in his voice. Marie shook her head and Zain turned to leave again, before Marie called him back, one final time,
"Zain!"
"What!" he half shouted
"Who's she?" she nodded at the waiting Sam. Zain opened his mouth, ready to tell the truth, that she was a colleague, that they were undercover together, but something stopped him. The urge to get one over on Marie won over his conscious and he smirked and said,
"Wouldn't you like to know?"

He dropped down beside Sam on the bench.
"You took your time." She complained.
"It was business. Is there something on my neck?" he asked, rubbing it again.
"Nope. You both looked pretty cosy over there."
"I know who the dealers are." He interrupted. She looked pretty impressed and asked,
"Go on then, who?"
"Them." He said, nodding at the couple who were now standing, staring at the ducks.
"Them?" she asked disbelievingly, "If this is just an excuse to get you off for spending so long with your girlfriend…"
"It's not" he protested, "And she's not my girlfriend."
"Well what do you think we should do?"
"Go talk to them. Ask to buy some heroin or something." Zain urged
"I'm the sergeant here." She reminded him, "You do it."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"She'll recognise me. We used to go out ages ago but then I sort of cheated on her…" Sam burst out laughing.
"And there was me thinking that you were a good boy." She teased
"I am! It was a long time ago. Anyway, are you going to talk to them or not?"
"Fine." Sam said, standing up, "But just wait 'til CID hears how the poshboy's a love rat." She joked, walking away.

Sam walked towards the couple nervously, wondering how she could approach the topic if selling drugs, luckily for her, she didn't have to.
"Are you Marie?" the woman asked shortly as she noticed her.
"Yes." Sam lied, not knowing who this Marie person could be. The girl looked her up and down and said,
"You've changed a lot over the years." Sam just nodded, not knowing what she was supposed to have looked like before. The other woman was pretty with longish brown hair and soft brown eyes. She could see why Zain went for her all those years ago. The man coughed heavily, before muttering,
"Just get on with it Becki." The woman, Becki, sighed and rolled her eyes
"Men, eh" she said in a joking voice to Sam
"I know." Sam agreed.
"Me and Marie haven't seen each other since school." Becki told the man, "I was hoping we could have a catch up before we got down to business."
"Well there's no time." The man snapped, pushing past Becki to stand directly in front of Sam. He held out his hand,
"Money, now." He demanded. Sam reached into her purse withdrawing the money, making a mental note to charge Zain later if she didn't get it back. The man snatched it roughly, counted it and thrust a small bag of heroin into her hands, before turning back towards the pond. The deal was clearly over in his book. Becki glanced over at her one last time, before joining her husband, staring at the ducks. Sam nodded to Zain and he slowly approached from behind.
"Rick Michaels, I'm arresting you on suspicion of dealing a class A drug. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court anything you do say may be given in evidence." Sam said quickly, taking out her cuffs and snapping them around his wrists before he could react.
Becki, upon seeing this, began to run away from the pair. Zain quickly took off after her seeing that Sam was busy with Michaels. He ran for a few metres before feeling light headed. He stumbled and had to stop running in case he fell. However, even staying on his feet was proving to be a challenge for him, and he swayed slightly before Sam arrived, suspect in tow.
"Are you okay?" She asked, looking a bit worried
"I think so." He said, feeling the dizzy spell leave him as suddenly as it had come on, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Okay." Sam said, "But I'll drive." He nodded, feeling weary and followed her and Rick Michaels to the car.

David turned his head sharply as he heard a rustling in the trees next to him, but sighed in relief as he noticed that it was only Marie and Becki returning.
"How'd it go?" he asked
"He fell for it." Becki smirked, "That damn abusive husband of mine's all locked up because I convinced him to sell that heroin I "found." "
"And you were right David, he is seeing that other copper." Marie reported.
'Did you inject him?" David asked. Marie nodded,
'He nearly fell on his face trying to catch me." Becki said, grinning again.
"Soon, Zain Nadir will be sorry for what he's done to us." David smirked, lighting up a cigarette.
