Ok, as I'm going away for a couple of weeks soon I've decided not to be so evil and will try and finish this before I go. Thanks again for the reviews xx.

"So how are you going to get into this meeting?" Kelly asked as soon as she spotted Tom the next morning.

"Hello to you too" he said smiling sarcastically.

"Yeah hi. So?"

"Why are you so keen?" he asked suspiciously

"I just want this over with." she replied. He smiled sadly at her, he knew just how she felt. The sooner they lay Nikki to rest the better.

"It will be soon trust me." He was actually quite glad Kelly knew who he was now. At least he didn't have to keep up the high pitched squeaking constantly, it was giving him a sore throat and, honestly he was worried that if he kept on this way he might not be able to stop. Then he would gladly kill Fuller, slowly and painfully.

"So what's the plan?" she asked excitedly.

"Hey!" he suddenly snapped. "This isn't a game, ok. Nikki was your best friend."

"I know that. I just want him to get what he deserves"

"He will I promise." he said softly. Kelly smiled sadly at him. "What?" he said feeling uncomfortable under her gaze.

"I'm just wishing we knew you sooner. You would have believed Nikki from the start wouldn't you?" she said, her eyes looking straight at him pleading.

"Yeah, I would."

"What happened?"

"Kelly, she overdosed." Kelly's face clouded for a second as she looked down at her feet.

"No I mean with your family."

"It's a long story." he sighed.

"So tell me the short version. You've asked me enough questions over the past week."

"Kelly...".

"Hey guys!" they heard a voice from behind them. Tom never thought he would be happy to hear that voice, but he really didn't want to have to explain his mothers story to anyone else.

"Helen. Hi." Kelly said, with what Hanson recognised as the same false smile he had worn for the majority of the week. Helen smiled back just as falsely before turning her attention to Tom.

"So, bible group is meeting tonight. You want to go this time Tammy?" Helen asked. Kelly had a hard time keeping a straight face as she saw Hanson flinch slightly at the name.

"Sure, why not."

"Great." then her face lit up and she said, "Hey, bring Doug too. The more the merrier."

"Oh he'll be there" Tom said through gritted teeth.

"You should come too Kelly. We miss you, you know." Kelly looked discreetly over at Hanson, who nodded his head slightly.

"Sure I'll be there. I kinda miss it too." she said smiling.

"Great, I'll see you there. Church Hall 7.30" she said cheerfully before heading off.

"That was easy" Kelly said shrugging her shoulders.

"It's my magnetic personality"

"Well, either that or she's after make up tips."

"How much time have you been spending with Penhall?" Tom said as she smiled and walked away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok we're in. What did you get from Mackenzie?" Hanson asked as he joined the rest of the Jump Street team at the large table in the centre of the room.

"Nothing." Harry said looking at his friend apologetically. "He just sat there and denied everything."

"Where are we with the DNA tests?" Tom asked looking hopefully at his commanding officer.

"We're chasing them Hanson. We'll get them as soon as we can. Until then it's up to you." Tom nodded his head thoughtfully.

"How you doing?" Fuller asked, concern evident in his voice.

"I'll be happy when this is over, but I'm ok."

"You sure?" Fuller asked studying him closely. He knew from recent experience that you could never really tell what was going on in Tom Hanson's head.

"I thought you said you trusted me on this?" Hanson said his brow furrowing.

"I do. I just know this must be difficult for you and I know you've had a rough time recently. I'm just looking out for you."

"Thanks, Coach, but it's really not necessary." Hanson said with a smile.

"Ok." Fuller said uncertainly. "Penhall, you ok to play back up here?"

"You bet. I'm not letting any girl of mine go out on her own with strange people, no telling what she'll get up to."

"I can't believe you don't trust me!" Tom said feigning offence. "What chance does this relationship have if there's no trust?"

Fuller gave a long suffering sigh before shaking his head and rising to his feet.

"Let's make this quick so these two can stop giving me nightmares."

"I don't know, I think they're kinda cute together" Judy said smiling.

"Let's move it guys" Fuller said as he rolled his eyes. Doug jumped to his feet letting out his usual loud battle cry while Tom sat chewing nervously on a false nail.

"Something wrong Hanson?" Fuller asked impatiently.

"I don't have anything to wear." Fuller favoured him with a long suffering glare before silently turning on his heel and walking away.

"Come on!" Judy said grabbing Tom by his sweater and pulling him to his feet. "I'm gonna make Doug the envy of every guy there. Hanson shot Doug and Harry his best please help me eyes and Hoffs dragged him away.

"You're a lucky man Doug" Harry said laughing slightly as he patted Doug on the back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The hall wasn't as crowded as they thought it would be as Hanson and Penhall, followed by Kelly and Sam, made their entrance. The wood panneled walls were covered by numerous curtains, the only windows actually being in a skylight in the roof. There were a few groups gathered together and chatting among themselves so no one really paid any attention to them. Hanson's watchful dark eyes scanned the room ready to take in anything unusual. Doug noticed he became quite agitated and twitchy as he spotted Mackenzie making his way over.

"Hello" Mackenzie said cheerfully. Doug felt Hanson tense beside him and saw the discomfort in Kelly's eyes. Sam however looked like he was going to pass out. "I'm glad you made it." he said turning to Tom. "I'd hate to think our getting off on the wrong foot would permanently affect your opinion of me."

"Don't worry about it." Tom managed to say perfectly calmly.

"And Kelly, it's so good to see you back." he said giving her a strange look Doug couldn't place. "We missed you."

"Thanks" she said with the most insincere smile Doug had ever seen.

"Well, must get on."

"Don't let us keep you." Doug said brightly. As they watched him walk over to the next cluster of people Penhall heard Tom mutter some unintelligible threat under his breath.

"What?" he asked him.

"Nothing" Tom said wearily.

"Don't you find this all a bit strange?"

"What?"

"All these kids hanging round reading bibles?"

"Not everyone's a heathen like you Doug."

"Well when I was eighteen I had much better things to be doing."

"Of course you did."

"Hey man, girls found me irresistible."

"Shame they all had to grow up then huh?"

"What's your excuse then dear?" Doug said putting his arm round Tom's shoulder.

"I have low self esteem"

"Fair enough".

"Ok, well you stay here, I'm going to have a chat with our friend the priest"

"Right. Hey, he touches you I'll kick his ass!" Doug said with a smile.

"My hero!" Tom said placing his hand over his heart before heading off.

"Tom!" Kelly called after him suddenly. He acknowledged her by simply waving his hand dismissively and saying "Later ok."

"But…"

"Leave it, its fine." Doug said.

"Is he going to be ok?" Kelly asked Doug as they watched him go.

"He'll be fine."

"What if Mackenzie tries anything?"

"Then he'll be in for a bit of a shock won't he"

"Doug there's something I should probably tell you."

"Don't worry, Tom's a big boy, he can take care of himself. I'm gonna go check things out."

"But Doug..."

"Don't worry." he yelled as he walked away leaving Kelly looking decidedly nervous and guilty..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuller and Harry were sat at the large table in the centre of the main office. They were once again going over the toxicology and forensic reports checking to see if there was anything they missed while they waited for news from Tom and Doug. The two men were deep in concentration and being only a few people still in the chapel they we're startled when they heard a voice coming from the doorway.

"Excuse me?" said the teenaged boy stood there looking very nervous.

"Can we help you?" Fuller asked.

"My cousin gave me this card" he said handing it over to Fuller. Fuller examined the card and recognised it as one of a handful that had been given to the secretary at St Mary's. "I think my cousin has already been to the police, her name's Emily Carter."

"Yes?" Fuller pushed.

"Well, you know what he did to her?"

"Father Mackenzie?" Harry asked instinctively. The young boy nodded his head.

"He did it to me too".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As it turned out Mackenzie wasn't going to be a hard man to find. He was stood in the middle of a group of kids, boys and girls, who were hanging on his every word. He was obviously basking in their attention and he looked so smug that Hanson had to hold back an overwhelming hatred for this man as he approached him.

"Father Mackenzie?"

"Tamara. How are you finding it here?" he asked with a warm smile

"Fine, everyone's being real friendly. Sorry to bother you Sir but can I talk to you? There's some things I think we need to clear up"

"Of course"

"Is there somewhere quieter we can go? I don't really want everyone hearing this. Don't think you do either"

"Sure over here" Mackenzie said as he led him away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok, we're listening" Fuller said urgently as he drew out a chair for the kid to sit on.

"I used to be a choir boy a couple of years ago. My parents are into all that God stuff and they thought it would do me good. Anyway, Father Mackenzie was head of the parish at that time and I used to see him quite a bit at practices. He seemed really nice and was always interested in what we were doing. He used to come along and talk to us, ask if we had any ideas on drawing younger crowds in, things like that. He was always looking in my direction and smiling at me. I just thought he was being friendly." he shuddered slightly as he continued. "So, one day I was early for practice so I was just hanging around waiting for everyone else to arrive when Mackenzie came and started talking to me. He kept saying how talented I was and how unique." he laughed bitterly before continuing. "He said I could have my pick of any girl I wanted. I got real nervous because of the way he was looking at me so I got up to leave but he blocked my way. I kept asking him to let me go, but he wouldn't. He said he wanted to play."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"What do you think I mean?" the kid snapped.

"Go on." Fuller said softly

"When I said no, he got vicious. He picked up this kind of baton and he started to strangle me with me with it. I couldn't breathe and he was bigger and stronger than I was. I couldn't stop him." he said as silent tears rolled down his face. "He said I couldn't tell anyone, and if I did they wouldn't believe me, cos apparently men don't get raped."

"You never told anyone?"

"Just my cousin after he raped her."

"Did he ever touch any of the other boys?" Fuller asked.

"No. He has specific tastes." the boy spat. It was then that Harry fully noticed what had been gnawing at the back of his mind while he had listened to the kid. He had the same dark doe eyes, high cheekbones, unruly hair and fragile appearance as Hanson. His eyes snapped wide and he rooted around the desk for Nikki Stokely's picture.

"Notice anything Captain?" he said

"Fragile looking skinny kid, dark hair and dark eyes." Fuller said.

"Yeah. Your cousin?" he said turning his attention back to the young man. "She about the same build as you? Same hair and eyes?"

"Yeah."

"Sounds like his type Captain"

"And Hanson's with him right now."

"Yeah."

"Where's Penhall?"

"He's Hanson's back up."

"Right. Madison!" he called over to one of the few remaining young officers.

"Sir"

"Can you take down this young mans statement please."

"Sure"

"Come on." he said to Harry urgently springing to his feet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What are we doing here?" Hanson asked as Mackenzie led him into the small room.

"Just somewhere quiet where we can talk." Mackenzie answered matter of factly.

"We can't talk out there?" Tom asked. For some reason he couldn't quite grasp, all his senses were screaming at him to get out and fast. Telling himself he'd been playing teenage girl for too long, he pushed the doubts away and turned his attention to the man standing across from him.

"It's a bit noisy out there isn't it?"

"I suppose"

"I used to sit in here and talk with Nikki." he said sounding genuinely sad.

"She that girl who died they're all talking about?" Tom asked innocently. Seeing the hurt on Mackenzie's face he said "Sorry. They're all talking about it at school."

"Really? What are they saying?"

"Someone killed her."

"Is that what they're saying?" he asked calmly

"It's what I hear."

"No one would want to kill Nikki. She was a special girl."

"You knew her quite well huh?"

"You could say that." he said with a fond smile. "We were having a baby together."

"Is that allowed? You being her teacher and all?"

"She was in her last year, it wouldn't really have mattered much longer."

"People wouldn't have made it easy for you though."

"True, but she was strong, it would have worked." he said in a strange voice. "You're a lot like her actually" he said turning to Tom.

"Really?"

"Yes. You could almost be twins."

"People keep telling me that."

"You've even got her eyes" he said moving closer to the young officer and studying his face as he took his jacket from him. Tom swallowed nervously wondering if he'd realised what he really was. He watched as Mackenzie threw the jacket into the corner, walked over to the door and locked it before turning his attention back to Tom.

"What are you doing?"

"Just making sure we can talk without any interruptions" he said advancing on Tom.

"That's close enough" Tom said.

"You've never complained before Nikki." he said as he fingered the collar on the thin purple shirt Judy had forced Tom into.

"Nikki? I'm not Nikki, Sir" Tom said his face a mask of confusion. That confusion turned to a mixture of discomfort and panic as the older man further closed the gap between them, placing his hands on either side of Toms face, studying him intently. He looked directly into the young officers eyes for what seemed like a lifetime, making Hanson decidedly nervous, before his face broke into a smile.

"Beautiful" Mackenzie said as he pulled the startled man towards him not noticing how Tom's face was distorted in disbelief. He decided enough was enough and tried to free his hands to reach for his badge before realising his badge was in the inner pocket of the jacket on the other side of the room. He began to try and break free of the mans grasp but as he did so Mackenzie tightened his hold.

"Don't struggle Nikki, you know I don't like it when you struggle" he said softly as his lips grazed the side of Hanson's face.

He felt sick at the feel of the priest's breath along his neck and his panic peaked as the older man's hands moved down to his waist and kept going.

"Hey, hands off or I break them off!" he said, his distaste for this man was so deep and he was so desperate to get out of this situation that he hadn't realised he had slipped back into his usual way of speaking. The middle aged priest looked intently at the young officer a look of confusion etched on his face. Before Tom knew what was happening Father Mackenzie had reach out and torn open the shirt he was wearing. A small smile graced the older mans face.

"Now there's a surprise" he said his eyes studying the younger man. "Not an entirely unwelcome one though."
