Chapter Four
"Get out the bed" Renolds barked at Smithy, he sighed pulling the covers from his body and swinging his legs round. "What time is it?" Smithy asked rubing his eyes. "Four thirty" Renolds laughed. Smithy rose to his feet walking towards the man "Why the fuck have you woke me up?". Renolds pushed him back "Early morning wake up call" he laughed. Smithy moved back towards him "What is your problem?" The man pushed Smithy against the wall "I dont like criminals". Smithy laughed "I'd think about a career change". Renolds moved close into Smithys face "I dont like you... and Im gunna make it my buisness to watch every move you make". Smithy laughed "If you aint got nothing better to do" he moved past the offier making his way back to his bed, "Right Smith... your on report". Smithy turned to face him "What for?". Renolds smirked "Attitude problem". Smithy laughed "I think you should have a look in the mirror". Renolds pushed Smithy against the wall, holding his arm against his neck "I can make your life in here very difficult... so I suggest you learn some manners or I'll have a line of men out there waiting to teach you some" Smithy glared at him "Is that a threat Sir". The man laughed "I dont do threats Smith.. I do promises". Smithy smiled "I'll look foward to it".
"Right Nate, Leon I have a lead for you to chase up..." Terry began glancing to the two officers, he passed them a photo of a young woman. "This is Katie Stanford... the wife of the man Smithy is investigating, I want a full investigaton into her.. I want to know what she does, when she does it and who with from the moment she gets up until the moment she goes to bed" the two officers smiled raising from there seats. "Ben, Kirsty... I want you to trace this bloke Ricky Monters, he was Stanfords main man, they got sentenced at the same time and he has just been realesed on tag". The two officers smiled before leaving. Terry glanced back to his computer screen, "Terry..." he spun round on his chair. "Yes Serge". Callum moved close "Whats going on?" he asked. Terry shook his head "You know I cant disscuss it with you". Terry spun back round to his computer, Callum lent against the desk beside him. "All I want to know is how Inspector Smith is". Terry sighed "I spoke to Mickey last night, he said its been hard on him already... but that is to go no futher, Smithy dont want this operation being pulled before its even got started". Callum nodded before walking away, making his way down the corridors towards his office, he was frushtrated, he wanted to help. Seeing Mickey he made his way towards him, guiding him into a empty briefing room "How is Smithy?" he asked. Mickey sighed glancing to the tall Sergeant "You know how it works Callum.. I cant". He shook his head "I just want to know how he is coping?". Mickey nodded "From the looks of him he has taken a beating already but he is focused he'll keep it together". As Mickey left the room, Callum smirked hoping he now had enough information to get himself in on the under cover operation as well.
"Hey" Stevie grinned as she pulled his door open. He smiled at her slightly. "You ok?" she asked. Smithy nodded "Yeah no thanks to Officer Renolds". Stevie glanced at the man opening the cell accross the large room. "Why what has he done?" she asked looking back to Smithy. Smithy smirked "He is the biggest scumbag in here..." he paused looking down at her "And when I get out of here and bring Stanford down he will be coming with him". Stevie smiled, she wanted so much to pull him into her arms, to tell him it would all be ok. "Go and get yourself some breakfast" she gestured to where many of the other inmates now gathered. "What was that about?" Renolds voice crept up behing her, she spun round to face him. "Oh nothing... you know what these prisoners are like". Renolds nodded "Well that one is a mouthy piece of scum... he gives you any shit you let me know, I'll show him who is boss in here". Stevie smiled, on the inside she was horrified at the threat he was making to Smithy but she couldnt show it. "Its fine thanks... I can handle it". Renolds grinned down at her "Why dont I take you for breakfast when we finish?" he asked. Stevie felt sick at the idea, Smithy was ten times the man he was and it was Smithy she wanted to spend the morning with, but instead he would be stuck in here. She smiled at him "Im sorry I have plans". Renolds nodded "Ok darlin' another time".
Callum waited at the door to be called into Jacks office. On hearing him shout "Come in" he pushed the door open and marched in, closing it after himself. "Sergeant Stone... what can I do for you?" Jack asked. Callum smiled "I think you need someone else on the inside with Smithy Sir". Jack stood from his chair "Not this again Callum... Im happy with my choice". Callum nodded "Yes Sir... Im not suggesting pulling either of them out... I am suggesting having myself in there as well.." Jack shook his head "No you are needed in uniform." Callum smirked "Smithy needs someone to protect before he takes another beating" Jack stared at the Sergeant "He has been beaten up?" Callum nodded. "Could you tell DC Webb I want to see him now please and shut the door on your way out Callum". Mickey sat down in the chair oppisite Jack in his office, unaware why he had been called back, he had already filled him in on yesterday. "Why did you fail to inform me Inspector Smith had been attacked Mickey". Mickey sighed "Stone been to see you.." Jack glared at him "What happened to Smithy?". Mickey smiled "He is fine Sir... just a cut above his eye.. he is still focused and capable of doing his job". Jack nodded "OK... if anything else happens to him, I want to know about it and Im pulling him out". mickey nodded before leaving the room.
Smithy sat down next to Tom and smiled to him. "You alright mate?". Tom nodded "I suppose". Smithy smiled to him "At least it is one night down". Tom glared at him "Yeah only another ten years to go... all I did was protect my mum". Smithy smiled, he could understand what Toms been through, he had been there with his own parents. The chair oppisite moved and Smithy glanced up at the two men who sat in the seats. "Dissapear" one of them growled at Tom. Smithy smiled to him as he left. "Jimmy is it?" the first man asked, Smithy reconised him straight away, the man he had been sent in for Rob Stanford. "Who wants to know?" Smithy replied. He glanced to the man sitting next to Rob, the man who had attacked him. "Rob... and this is Bill" he replied. Smithy glared at the man "Yeah we have met". He glanced back down to his food before returning his eyes to Robs. "Jimmy Smith.. Smithy" he replied. Rob nodded "I'll be seeing you around then Smithy". Smithy watched as the two men rose and walked away he didnt really understand what the conversation had achived and athough no threat had been made he was sure he had been threatened one way or another but at least he had met the man he was in here for.
Smithy eyes were fixed on where Stevie stood, her shift would be over soon, he wanted to get her alone again before she left,
it was her that had got him through the night. He approached where she was stood in the officers staff room door way. "Can I have a word please Miss" he smiled. She had to hold back the chuckle that was rising inside her, Stevie was so used to him calling her Moss or mouth or on a few rare occasions just Oi. "He giving you problems" Renolds barked rising from the seat in side the office. Smithy glared at him "I want a word with my personal officer.." he paused glancing at Stevie "If thats all right". Stevie nodded, smiling at Renolds before following Smithy towards his cell. Once inside she ran her hands up and down his arms, "You ok?" she smiled. Her smile was beautiful, all he wanted to do was kiss her, but he knew these wernt the ideal circumstances to make his move on her. "Yeah.. I need you to do something for me..." Stevie nodded. "There is a lad in here Tom Simpson... I want you to dig out the case that got him locked up and review it". Stevie shook her head "Why Smithy... you are in here to nail Stanford". Smithy smiled "I dont think he should be in here.. from what he has said it should of been self defence" Stevie smiled "Smithy you need to focus on wh..." He interupted "Im gunna Stevie.. Please just have a look at the case". Stevie smiled glancing to the floor "Ok... I'll see what I can do" she grinned at him "But you stop being a copper and start being a criminal" she laughed, a laugh he couldnt help but return. "Im finishing in about twenty minutes and then Mickey will be here, I'll see you tonight" she grinned before moving out the door.
A hour or so passed and Smithy sat on one of the many seats in the large room. "Smithy..." he turned to face the man behind him. "I would like to appolygise for any bad treatment my friend over there has given you" Rob gestured towards where Bill sat. Smithys reply was nothing more than a grunt. "I have a propersition for you.." Rob continued. Smithy nodded, maybe this was it, maybe gaining Robs trust wasnt as hard as he thought it was going to be, Smithy nodded "Go on then... what is it?". Rob smiled "Not here... meet me in the laundry room after lunch and we can have a chat". Smithy nodded, he watched as Rob walked away, he was sure already that Rob was running the wing, now he just needed to get in his good books. Smithy caught site of Mickey as he walked towards the office, he knew this ment that Stevie was gone but at least he had another reassuring face. He nodded his head slightly, an action that would be unnoticable to any one other than the man it was aimed at.
Thanks again please review :-) xx
