He looked down at the screen, she had the witness search page open, he looked up to the top to see whose name she had typed in. Jack Halford's. He looked down at the rest of the screen 'Access Denied.'

'What the hell!?' Gerry exclaimed as he processed what was on the screen.

'He's lied to all of us.' Sandra screamed as she walked out the office.

Gerry walked back into the office to find Brian desperately trying to find Gerry's stash of alcohol.

'Where is it?' Brian kept repeating getting louder and more desperate every time.

'Where's what mate?' Gerry said.

'You know. Your stash.'

'No Brian. You don't need it. Brian, sit down. We need to talk.' He sat down at his desk. 'Jack is not dying, that was his cover story. Now I don't know where he is, but his police file is blocked.'

'Witness protection?' Brian asked a little brighter.

'I don't know mate, but that's defiantly what I was thinking. We need to do some digging. I don't like seeing you or Sandra like this, so the sooner we find the truth the better. So where do you suggest we start?'

'Strickland.' Came Brian's reply, but he knew even if he personally didn't know then he could talk to the commissioner.

'Okay you go do that and I'll go see Sandra and bring her back.' Gerry told the older man.

'I don't think she'll want to come back.'

'Yeah? Well I'll drag her back.'

So off they both went.

'Sandra?' Gerry asked as he picked up his phone after sitting outside Sandra's house, after realising she wasn't there and leaving her 20 missed closed.

'Gerry. Why did you feel the need to mess up my phone by constantly calling?!'

'Well I needed to talk to you and you weren't at your house, I'm worried about you. So get your backside back to work and I don't care if you don't want to go back. I'll see you there in 10 minutes.'

She hung up, she thought about it for a couple of minutes, first she thought she'd be stubborn and not turn up, she'd soon changed her mind though. She needed to know where Jack was and why he'd lied.

Hope this is okay and you are all enjoying this. Feel free to review.
