As sunlight streamed through the thin curtain material dust floated slowly over to the sleepers. It was coming up to 7 o'clock but neither of them shifted from their slumber. It was the sound of a telephone in the distance that drew Alex from her sleep as she lay there and just listened, not wanting to move.

"Bolls if you don't answer that bloody phone I'm gonna drop kick it out the window." Gene said, his eyes still closed. She smiled slightly before getting up and picking up the receiver.

"Hello?"

"Ma'am? You might wanna get over here. We've got the forensics results back. Ray and Chris can't believe it." Shaz's voice sounded nervous and worried as she informed Alex.

"I'll be there soon." Alex replied, putting the phone down and turning to Gene who had pushed himself up into a sitting position, watching her.

"The forensics are back." she told him quietly.

"Let's find out the name of this bastard." Gene replied, as he began to rummage around in his luggage bag, looking for a new suit.

After half an hour the Quattro pulled up outside Fenchurch East CID and the two senior officers left the car and headed inside. Swiftly walking to the main office they were greeted by nervous looks from all three others and an open envelope on Alex's desk. Tentatively she picked it up, glanced round at the others and read the paper inside.

"The fingerprints found on the product G16 weapon match the fingerprints belonging to Jim Keats…" was all she read out before the stunned silence overtook her as well. Every officer stayed in silence, remembering the last time Jim Keats had managed to infiltrate CID and tried to take the officers.

"The slimy bastard." Ray muttered eventually, after what seemed like a decade of silence.

"It would make sense though. Keats knew about Molly. He knew my phone number, my address and he knows everyone here, meaning details of where we'll be etc would be easy to find out. Plus Jim always did have a knack for finding information that was meant to be kept private." Alex explained as she mentally ticked off all the times she'd been contacted by him recently and whether or not he was able to find out everything.

"He knows where CID is based as well. Probably been stalking you for weeks Ma'am. He knew you were going with Shazza to the shop, and he knew where the wedding was bein' held." Chris took the hand of his wife's in his protectively.

"Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?" Alex remembered, looking at the newlyweds.

"You are joking aren't you? Ma'am you were nearly killed yesterday! Drop everything we're not gonna leave until this is all sorted." Shaz responded in surprise.

"I'm gonna bloody kill 'im." Gene seethed, his first comment on the matter.

"There will be no killing of anyone. At least not until I've spoken to him." Alex replied.

"Alex last time you came anywhere near 'im, he nearly shot ya…and you really think I'm gonna let you go anywhere near him again?" He asked in response.

"You don't own me Guv. If I wanna talk to him then I will, and you will stay away from him until I'm finished." She looked at him, the glare in her eyes reaching into him, causing him to look away.

"Fine. But I'm with you. You can talk as much as ya like but I am not leavin' you alone in a room with that scum. Understood?" He asked, matching her glare.

"Fine." Her one word response ended the gaze and she turned to face back to the team, feeling his eyes staying on her.

"Where do we find him?" Shaz asked her boss who shrugged with no comment.

"Can't be far off…he's been contacting you and was at the wedding." Chris pointed out.

"Yes, but you and Ray chased him off remember, who knows where he'll be right now." silence fell upon CID as each of them thought, thinking of an idea, any possible idea as to where Jim Keats could be right now.

After just a couple of minutes of thinking the phone on Alex's desk rang, the shrill noise catching everyone's attention. Cautiously Alex headed over, picking up the receiver and pressing it to her ear.

"Hello?" She asked, her voice catching in fear of whether it was Jim on the end. As with many times before, the caller hung up, without a single comment. She put the phone down and turned to her colleagues.

"Nothin'?" Gene asked and she shook her head, pausing mid shake as something caught her eye. Another note. This one had been slipped under the door, supposedly while she'd answered the phone. It was merely a distraction. Kneeling before the door she picked it up and returned to the team, holding it, her hands shaking gently.

"Open it." Ray's voice was barely a whisper. Alex did as he asked, her fingers working quickly, sliding under the envelope slip and prising it open, taking the note from inside and allowing the envelope to drop to the floor.

"No…that's…that's impossible!" Alex cried out the colour draining from her face as realisation struck her. She wobbled slightly, shock making her feel dizzy and weak and ready to collapse.

"Whoa, Bolly we'll be takin' a trip to hospital at this rate." The note was clasped in her hand like her life depended on it. Gene took the slip of paper in his own and read it.

"I don't ge' it…but you said…" She raised her head, eyes wide, begging him to keep quiet.

"Ray, Shaz, Chris…you can go 'ome. This is between me and Bolls." with that in mind Gene led Alex straight out the office, the paper falling from his hand as he did so. As quickly as it fell, it was in Shaz's hand.

"I dunno if I should…it's not right." She said, indicating reading the note.

"If you don't I will." Ray insisted but Shaz opened it quickly.

"What does it say?" Both Ray and Chris asked as Shaz's face fell into bewilderment. She showed them.

"I've got your daughter Alex. - Jim Keats -"
