Chapter Eight- The kiss of life
Stevie felt the cool hard ground against her body, she rested a hand onto her bump and was smiled slightly when she felt a kick. She opened her eyes to see Emily leaning over her "Are you ok? dont worry you'll be fine, I promise" stevie sat up to notice Liam laying on the floor, John and Michelle hovering over him, tears falling from there eyes. "What happened?" Stevie muttered pushing herself onto her feet and moving towards Liam "he pushed you out of the way" Emily smiled. "Dont you touch him" John barked as Stevie knelt to Liams side "I need to check his pulse... I can help him!" Stevie shouted. John moved towards her and pointed the gun at her. "John... John... she needs to help him" Michelle said pulling him back to her side.
Stevie rested her hand onto Liams neck. She glanced to the remaining hostages sitting on the floor watching her. Stevie stood up "You need to end this... he is going to die" She looked at John "He is going to die... you have to stop this now!" John looked to Michelle, she in return nodded. he moved close to Stevie, dropped the gun to the floor "Im sorry" he cried "I didnt mean to shoot him." Stevie pointed to the manger who was getting from the floor. "You... go outside, get me some help" she nelt down to Liams side "Come on dont die on me" she sighed as she pushed down on the bullet hole in his chest. The manager walked through the big door at the front of the bank "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR" came from various directions. He couldnt believe the amount of people starring at him. He raised his arms up. "I am the manager. A man has been shoot, they are unarmed" CO19 moved past him and through the entrance to the bank, as Rodger helped him out of the way. Neil grabbed Smithys arm as he went towards the bank "Wait for the clear" he said pulling him back. Smithy glared at him as the radios buzzed to life "Its clear. we need paramedics in here now gov" the voice echoed through the radio. Smithy ran for the bank, as he approached the bank Callum stopped him "Let me go first, you dont know what has happened!" Smithy pulled away and continued to the bank "I can do my job Stone" he called back to him.
Smithy pushed the door to the bank open, Callum close behind him,he noticed the young man laying on the floor, the paramedics were begining CPR. The suspects laying on the floor near the exit, Callum began the arrests, while Smithy continued to search for Stevie, he noticed a young girl being led out by Mel. Where was she, Where was Stevie. "So much for my day off eh?" Smithy turned round and pulled Stevie into his arms "Thank god... if you ever... ever do that to me again I swear Moss, Ill never forgive you!" Stevie let out a laugh and snuggled into his chest and watched as Michelle and John were led away. "Are you hurt Stevie?" Callum asked as he walked to her side, "No Im fine!" She smiled. Emily approached from behind and slowly placed a hand on Stevies back, Smithy loosened his grip and she spun round "Stevie, Thank you so much you saved mine and my childrens lives, I owe you everything!" Stevie smiled and pulled Emily into a hug. "You know what Im glad I could help!" she replied. Smithy wrapped his arms around Stevie and placed his hands on her bump. "Callum, can you take Emily to her kids? " Stevie asked. Callum nodded and led Emily from the bank. Smithy turned Stevie around to face him "I love you Moss" he grinned as he kissed her head. "Stevie, Are you ok?" Neil asked as he and Grace approached. Stevie nodded and smiled. "Ok well the two suspects, michelle and John Farnham, mother and son, they are being taken in now, but he didnt make it" Neil gestured to Liams lifeless body. Stevie looked down to the floor and sighed "He saved my life" she smiled trying to fight the tears in her eyes "John was gunna shot me... he pushed me out of the way, if it wasnt for Liam I would be dead!" Stevie glanced to the body "He was a decent man, he was just desperate" Neil began to walk away "We need a statement, Smithy will bring you to the station" he shouted back to her. Grace smiled at Stevie "Well done" she said before she followed after Neil. Smithy placed a hand on Stevies face and lifted her chin so her eyes met his, "come on lets get you out of here" he smiled before wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
Stevie sat down at her desk, she had nodded her head hundreds of times since arriving at the station to the many questions "Are you ok?" "How are you feeling?" "Let me know if you need anything?". Stevie rested her arms onto her desk and layed her head onto them, she could hear people moving around and talking between themselves but she didnt acknowledge what was happening around her, tears started to fall from her eyes. "Stevie?" She heard the voice but didnt look up. "Hey" she felt a hand rest onto her shoulder and she lifted her head. "Callum" She sighed "How can I help you?" Callum smiled "Smithy said he'd be up for you in about half hour and to wait for him" Stevie nodded, she noticed how empty the room had become as she sat alone with the tall sergeant. "Are you ok?" Callum asked looking concerned. Stevie nodded. "Really?" He asked. Stevie glanced up at him "Liam shouldnt of died, he died to protect me" She drew back her tears "He was twenty one, where is the justice in that" She sighed. Callum smiled "Its natural to be upset" he began "But you have to be positive, you have the baby and Smithy to think of!" Stevie looked down to the ground. "Hey" Callum said as tears began to fall down her cheeks, he crouched down in front of her and wrapped his arms around her "What if he hadnt of pushed me out of the way" Stevie sobbed.
Callum stroked her hair pulling her away from himself slightly. "Dont think like that Stevie". He moved slowly into her and placed his lips onto hers. Shook ran through her body as he kissed her gently. She pulled back and placed her hands on his chest to push him away, behind him she noticed a shadow in the doorway, she stood up slowly, she saw his face drop "Smithy...
its not what it..." Callum spun round as Smithy inturupted "Really... because it doest look great from over here...how could you do this to me Stevie" She moved over to him and smiled "Listen... Listen to me Smithy" She started placing her hands onto his arms. "No" he shouted as he pulled away "Stay away from me!" He stormed out of CID and down the stairs. "Please Smithy its not what you think" She chased after him "Smit..." Stevie lost her footing and fell down the stairs.
