Reaching the house they secured the area just in case Hugh was still at the house and would make a run for it. When everyone was in position a PC hammered the door down. Phil, Adam, Neil and PC Tony Stamp entered the house. Making their way to the attic. PC's Reg Hollis and Honey Harman searched downstairs, shouting clear as they made their way through rooms. While Ken and Terry searched through the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom.

Phil burst into the attic and ran straight to Sam. Neil checked Abi, she was groggy but awake whereas Sam was still out cold. Phil checked for a pulse.

"She's alive." He said, feeling weak.

"Come on Phil," Adam said putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let the paramedics get through."

Tony Stamp had to take Phil's place as paramedics ran in with their kits. Abi was helped up and taken to the ambulance. The paramedics got a pair of scissors out and cut the tight ropes around Sam's wrists. There were raw marks around her wrists. Tony put an arm round her and pulled her off the chair and on to the floor.

The paramedics exchanged worried glances, one put an oxygen mask over her mouth and the other checked her pulse again.

"What's wrong?" Phil asked.

"Something's not right with her, there are signs of an overdose." A paramedic said. "We need to get her to hospital as quick as possible"


The next day, Phil sat on the chair beside Sam's bed, she was in a room next door to Abi. Abi was resting but Sam was sleeping and hadn't woken up at all yet. She had to have her stomach pumped because of the amount of drugs in her. Phil felt so angry at Hugh, he wanted to find him and kill him but Sam needed him more.

Sam's eyes fluttered open and she shifted her position.

"Hey," Phil smiled softly at her. He took her hand and stroked it. She gave him a weak smile.

"I'm gonna be sick." She managed to say, retching. Phil grabbed the bowl and tucked it under her chin before she was sick into it. She groaned and Phil poured her some water, letting her sip so she could get rid of the foul taste.

"How do you feel?" Phil asked.

"Bloody terrible." Sam said. "Was I hit over the head or something?"

"No, Sam you were drugged. You had to have you're stomach pumped and they found an injection hole." Phil explained.

"Fricken marvellous." She muttered. "Would you mind if I went back to sleep?"

"Course not." Phil said. "Sam you're in here to recover and if recovering means sleeping then go ahead."

"Thanks Phil." She said sleepily, shutting her eyes and nodding off.


Phil walked out of the room, he checked on Abi who was sat up in the bed reading a magazine. Phil decided to go home, get something to eat, change of clothes, a shower. He'd stayed at the hospital all night, he had been ordered to stay as Sam's bodyguard. Now though an armed officer was positioned outside the room, he hadn't been told it was Hugh because they weren't sure it was Hugh until Sam and Abi confirmed it.

Phil had arrived home, eaten some lunch, had a shower and changed the sat on the sofa. He ended up falling asleep. He awoke at half four and rushed back to the hospital.

He could hear people talking from Sam's room, Abi wasn't in her room so he guessed it was Abi and Sam talking. But when he walked in he was utterly surprised. Sam was still sat in her bed, Abi was sat on one edge of the bed while Hugh Wallis was sat on the other edge.

"What's he doing here?" Phil asked as he walked in.

"Visiting." Sam laughed. "Honestly, you sure it wasn't you who was injected?"

"Sam, there's no need to laugh at DS Hunter's bluntness." Hugh said in a joking voice. He turned back to look at Phil with a smug smile, Phil in return glared at him. Fuming.

"You bring them?" Phil asked noticing a big bunch of flowers on the cabinet by Sam's bed.

"Yes, I remembered that she liked orange lilies." Hugh said. He looked down at Sam and she smiled up at him, it was like she adored Hugh. Not only that but it appeared Abi adored Hugh as well. It made Phil feel sick.

"When are you being discharged?" Phil asked Sam.

"Well they've run some tests and they're going to check but they said possibly today." Sam told him. "They found out that it was heroin that was used."

"You can go round the street scum right and ask them?" Hugh asked.

"Yea, hey don't doctors use heroin? Opiates dull pain or something?" Phil asked.

"Yes it does." Hugh agreed.

"So have you ever used it?" Phil pressed.

"On a patient or myself?" Hush asked.

"A patient … yourself … a victim." Phil suggested.

"What is this?" Hugh laughed. "If you're trying to imply something then say it."

"Fine, did you or didn't you abduct Abi. Realise Sam and I were on to you so abduct her and now brainwash them both?" Phil accused.

"This is ridiculous." Hugh said.

"I agree." Sam said.

"I think you should go, don't you?" Hugh said to Phil.

"No, I've been ordered to take Sam and Abi from here to the station for their statements." Phil said.

"I can do it." Hugh said.

"No -"

"Actually I'd prefer Hugh to take us." Sam said, Phil had really shown a different side to himself.

"Sam …"

"You've said enough, and you're upsetting Sam." Hugh said, Phil sighed and walked out. Hugh shut the door behind Phil.

"Why did you let him in?" Phil asked the armed officer.

"He said he was a friend, he had flowers and looked concerned and the sergeant seemed to know him." The armed officer said. Phil sighed. "You want me to pull him out?"

"I would … but she wouldn't." Phil replied. "Just don't worry about it, but subtly keep an eye on him. Cheers."

Phil left, heading back to the station.
