[The Siege]


Racing to the house, Robbie looked through the case notes and sighed. "What are we missing, Jackie? There has to be a reason here for why the doctor would be involved in all of this?" He demanded to know wanting to have the upper hand over the bastard as he stormed into the house so that he could check his three girls were okay.

"Robbie, something tells me our little detectives will have worked it out. They're more in Sheila's mind than we could ever be. Sometimes have a rapport with the victim is credential for cases like this when we don't understand it enough." She pointed out finding herself smiling at how much he cared about the three girls. She always knew that he'd had a soft spot for girls who are trying to make something of themselves and loved to be part of their lives. She guessed that Robbie would be keeping an eye on the three girls for a long time to come.

"Well if he's killed the three girls then we're still fucked," the use of language caused Jackie to glare at him but she knew better than to complain because it would just make him swear more even though he was unaware that he was doing it. That's when he froze on the first interview that he'd done with the husband, his scribbled note in the corner that the guy was a total jerk and had been all over that nurse right in front of them. "It was a cover up," he whispered causing Jackie to look over at him in confusion. "He needed Sheila out of the way so that he could continue with his life."

"The wife was in the way of the perfect life that he could have," she whispered cursing. "It was him all along. He strung that poor boy along and then turned on his own wife so that she'd get the blame for it all. The three girls weren't the target but now that they're loose ends because the boy came to talk to them."

"He's going to kill them..." He swore before calling for back up knowing that Stuart was on his phone in the back seat doing the same thing. "If he hurts a single one of them then I swear I'll kill him myself." The vengeance caused Jackie just to shake her head before she stepped on the gas.


"Well so much for not killing us." Ellie said as she looked at the man aiming the gun at her. "So who thinks we should have run at the time I suggested?"

"Ellie, I love you but if you don't shut up I'm going to shoot you." Ellanna promised as she glared at the husband. "You don't want to do this. So far the police have no evidence on you and we'll keep quiet about it. It'll be like one bad dream. We'll return to a life where we don't even know that Sheila exists. Is that what you're going to do? Are you going to burn every last photograph of her in this apartment and just move on?" She whispered aware of how close she was to tears at the idea. Her best friend had loved this man and he so cold and calculating while she'd been the complete opposite.

"I'll never forget my wife. The photos are a part of my life that I'll always remember. I'm sure any woman would understand me holding onto photos of the woman I loved who was murdered my an insane gunman."

"Did he really pull the trigger?" Leila whispered as she stared at her own gun man. "Are you sure you didn't do it for him? I can't understand how he'd be able to do it if he really loved her. I'm sure he thought he could..." A hand slapped her around the face causing the two older girls to turn to glare at the man pointing a gun at her but before they could do anything, he was shot down causing them to scream as blood sprayed over them before they turned back to look at the husband.

"I don't like mess," he explained before indicating for the other man to take the body away. "Well now you've seen me commit murder. You've definitely got to go now."


They arrived at the house in record time, the sirens didn't sound that far away but as they approached they heard a gun shot. "We can't wait," Robbie whispered to Jackie as she tried to tell him they should. She looked at him for a moment before reaching her own gun.

"You're in charge then, boss." She said smiling at him causing him to grin weakly before he moved to the front door. He signalled for Stuart to go round the back while waiting for back up and then he nodded his head at Jackie.

"Mr Hamden, this is the police. We're coming in."

The sound of Robbie's voice caused the girls to relax but before anything could happen, Leila was grabbed by the man while the gun was kept on Ellie. Ellanna turned to look at him, her eyes wide. "Go get rid of your detectives or I'll kill them both before you can even blink." He threatened and she stared at him for a moment before moving to the door.

He tried to move in but she used her weight to the advantage and looked at him, "he has a gun on them. I can't lose two more friends because of stupidity." That was when a shot sounded out and she left the door unguarded to run back in and saw Ellie lying on the floor, her hand on her stomach as blood spurted between her fingers. Stuart had hold of the husband and was putting him into cuffs while he shouted that they were attacking him.

Robbie and Jackie had ran to be beside Ellie, working together to trying and slow down the bleeding as Ellanna held her hand while Leila phoned for an ambulance. The two girls started to cry as they looked at their friend but at least it was over.
