Okay, I know I said I would include more Janet in this one, but there will be in the next one!

Please r&r again!

This chapters not very long, but I hope you like it!

Chapter 7:

By the time Rachel and Gill got home it was late. Far too late to visit Janet. The hospitals were fussy about visiting times anyway, so they really wouldn't appreciate them turning up now. Rachel ordered a takeaway whilst Gill phoned Ade. "Hi Ade, how's Janet tonight?" "She's a bit better, thank you, still a bit worse for wear for she's getting there. Hopefully." "Good, sorry we couldn't visit tonight, work overran as usual" she gave a small laugh. "Aah, it's ok, we know what you mean." There was an awkward silence; Gill was looking around the room trying to find something to say. "We got the results on the car. There was something wrong with the brake pads, hadn't got enough grip apparently, not to drive in weather like it was. It has written the car off, but obviously that's the least of our worries at the moment. The girls are missing their mom, as you would expect. It's scary how much Janet does. I know I moan a lot about her working hours and all that..." yeah, too right.Gill thought. "…but she does do a lot, washing, ironing, the girls' things etc." "hmm, yeah" Gill was only half listening now. She heard the doorbell go, and Rachel went to get it. It was the food. The smell of Chinese wafted up the stairs to Gill. She was starving. She'd only had a doughnut and some cereal today. "Look Ade, I've got to go now, my Chinese is here. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye" she put the phone down and practically jumped down the stairs.

They had a lovely meal and another peaceful sleep. Until about 4am. That's when they got the phone call. Rachel was the first to it, as she was asleep in the spare room. She jumped out of bed and ran to get it, expecting the worst. It wasn't from the hospital, it wasn't from Ade, and it wasn't from the girls. It was from Kevin. "Kevin!" Rachel hissed. She was always grumpy if anyone woke her up, and it been Kevin made it ten times worse. "What do you want at this time in the morning?" "um, sorry Rach, but um me and Pete are in the office now and like Gill got a call and there was like, no answerphone so I answered it, ready to take a message and it was Mr Rutterford saying something about there been no DI appointed to our syndicate, but they had picked someone u matching the description I gave Gill of the man the other day. They have arrested him and they want you and Gill to come in ASAP so you can prepare to interview him at 7. Sorry again for disturbing you, bye." "Err, Kev-"the phone went dead. Rachel had so many questions: a) why were Kevin and Pete of all people in the office at this time? B) Why would you answer a phone that has nothing to do with you and c) why did he sound proud that he had given Gill the description? Kevin was such a freak sometimes. Rachel thought. She got herself ready before waking Gill, trying to give her more time to rest. It was about 4:45 now, when she went in to disturb Gill. She walked up to the bed as quietly as she could, but then thought why do I need to be quiet if I need to wake her up? She tapped her gently. "Gill, Gill wake up, Boss, you need to get up now" Gill rolled over, and jumped as she saw Rachel standing there. This made Rachel jump as well. She let out a little scream but muffled it with her hand. "Sorry, Boss but you need to get up, Kevin's phoned saying we need to go into the office now." "Waaah?" Gill muffled sitting up. Her hair stuck to her face. "What the fucks Kevin doing in the office before me? He's normally just as bad as you!" "I'll choose to ignore that comment Boss, thank you. Anyway, come on, get up, get dressed and I'll do us some toast." "Thaaank youvve" Gill muffled again. She clearly isn't a morning person either. Rachel thought, as she went downstairs. She chuckled to herself. Godzilla wasn't all that bad. She couldn't believe she was thinking that, but in some ways it was true. She never thought she'd be able to say that.

They arrived in the office 45mintues later. Kevin and Pete were already buried in paper, and Andy was on the phone. Rachel and Gill looked at each other. Had someone crushed a pill and put it in Kevin's drink or something? Was he sick? Had he had another bang to the head? There were even two mugs of coffee; one on Rachel's desk and one on Gill's, and a little note under each 'just a little something to wake you up. Sorry for the early call. Love from Kevin' Rachel looked at Gill in her office and raised an eyebrow. Gill smirked back and lifted her eyes. They both turned to Kevin, who was rotating a piece of paper with a map on about 20 times, trying to figure it out. He looked up when he could feel someone's eyes on him. He looked at Rachel, then at Gill, then back to Rachel. "What?" he said all innocently. Rachel shrugged her shoulders and settled at her desk, ready to prepare the interview.

"Ok, so, Colin, I have to tell you that you have been arrested on suspicion of murder, and perverting the course of justice. You don't not have to say anything but anything you do say will be used as evidence. I also have to tell you that this interviews being recorded, and may be used as evidence in court, should we get that far. So, can you tell me where you were on Friday 7th July around 7pm – 10pm?"

"Don't know"

"Do you have any idea who may know where you were?"

"Nope."

"Ok, moving on, can you tell me why you were in our office from Monday this week, and why you used a fake ID to gain access?"

"That's none of your business"

Typical. He's going to be one to play it awkward. "I believe it is. You used a fake name, to gain access to the private files. Now, it wasn't just a random thing was it? You knew there wasn't going to be an SIO in at that time, so you thought you'd swoop. You wouldn't do that for fun would you? You would do it to get rid of any incriminating evidence that links you towards the crime scene?"

"No comment"

"See, what I think happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you attacked Jasmine for whatever reason, maybe she owed you money? Maybe she shunned you? Maybe you were just feeling resentful? You realised you hadn't planned it properly, so you set you some spy to see when there was and wasn't an SIO available, then planned your move to swoop in and delete any evidence that could link you to the murder? What do you have to say to that?"

"You coppers, think you know it all don't you? Watching your lot the other day, they haven't got a fucking clue. You rely on each other, and its only by chance you solve them. You're all bloody useless! You-". He stopped dead as he realised what he'd said. He eyes went wide, hoping Rachel hadn't picked it up. She had. So had Gill in the video room.

"So, you were in the office on Monday then? And you did go through the files, because there's obviously something you could spot that we couldn't, something that had seeped through, something that we hadn't picked up?" Rachel was persistent. She knew she had to get more out of him, it was evident he had done it. Why? They need to find out, but they can't charge him until there's a confession or more evidence, because if there's an appeal, he could walk because of 'insufficient evidence'.

They took a break from the interview, they had been at it for an hour now, and were just going around in circles. They needed more evidence before going back in. they had the photos on file, but they just needed a key, just something to twig him.

Their thoughts about the murder were disrupted by another phone call. This one wasn't so pleasant…
