Chapter 11:

It was the morning of the wedding. Rachel had picked up Janet's clothes from the dry cleaners, and taken them to the hospital. The wedding wasn't going to be spectacular, but it was what Janet and Andy had wanted. Gill was bringing the girls across an hour before the wedding, as Ade was going to pick up Dorothy. Kevin was coming with Pete, Lee and Mitch after they had shut the office and Andy would be here in half an hour.

Julie Dodson had stepped in for Gill and had taken the role of S.I.O. when Gill and Rachel weren't at the hospital, they were either sleeping or they were in the office. Gill couldn't remember the last time she hadn't been in charge of an incident, it felt so weird. She didn't really like it, taking orders from someone else, when she was normally in charge especially from Julie. Julie has been her best friend for years, they started their training course together, and had been friends ever since. Even though Julie was now a superintendent, she and Gill were still close, and Gill still thought she was a better copper, even if Julie didn't agree. Julie tends to jump to conclusions a lot, Gill had once told Janet. She admired her best friend and thought she was a brilliant detective, but Gill was always the more organised, logical one.

They had been back in the interview with Colin, and Kevin had shown him the photos Rachel had taken. "For the benefit of the tape, I'm showing exhibit reference BH4. Can you tell me what's in this picture, Colin?" "Me and a dog and a man" he mumbled. "Can you say that louder please?" Kevin said. It was the toughest Julie had seen Kev. "ME…A DOG…A MAN" Colin said, empathising every word just to take the mick. "Thank you. Can you tell me whose dog this is?" "His" "Whose 'him'?" "My mates" "Ok Colin, have you ever seen the dog before?" "Yeah…like I said, he's my mates" "have you ever used this dog in an incident? Maybe as a fighter dog?" "Nope." "Ok, what would you say if I told you, that from the sample we took of hair from this dog, that it matched the same DNA found on Jasmine's body, after she was brutally attacked and left to die, on her own, in an alley, when it was -5degrees outside? What can you tell me about that?" "Nothing." "Ok, I'm now showing Colin exhibit reference GT6. It is separate CCTV footage of a man, matching your description, walking this dog, away from the scene of the crime, just a few minutes after jasmine was attacked. What would your response be to that?" "Fine. I did it ok? It was me who killed her. I didn't mean to, I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Stupid Brat." "Why?" Kevin asked. Still remaining quite subtle. "She loves me; she always has done and always will do. I know that even if she won't admit it. I kept asking her if she wanted to move in but she wouldn't, she loves me. I know she does. I just wanted to scare her, so she'd want me. I didn't mean to kill her…" Kevin looked up. What the fuck is actually wrong with some of these people? He's basically saying he killed her because he claims she loves him, but wanted nothing to do with him? There are some messed up people in this world. He thought to himself, but he knew Mitch and Julie in the interview room were thinking the same thing.

They had done it! They had solved the murder. Colin would be charged with the murder of Jasmine, and the dog would have to be put down, even if it isn't normally a vicious dog, it still had caused harm to a human, therefore couldn't be trusted. The owner of the dog was devastated. Colin's friend's alibi was that he was going out, and wanted Colin to look after it. He had no idea what he was going to use it for. He was let off with a caution, which he moaned about because he was 'innocent' but as he was the owner of the dog; they couldn't just let him off.

Back at the hospital, final preparations were being made. The church had been decorated with a banner and some balloons, and Kevin, Mitch, Pete and Lee were already in there along with Ade and Dorothy. The vicar was getting ready, as Gill and Rachel went in and sat down at the front, next to Sean, who had also took the morning off work to come. Andy came in five minutes after and stood at the front, next to the vicar. There wasn't going to be a best man, or maid of honour, but when they renewed their vows they would make it extra special. It was five to ten. The door opened and Elise and Taisie came in, each holding open a door for Janet. The nurses brought her in, and settled her at the front. The crash team appeared at the back of the room with monitors. It's only a precaution they had said to Rachel, because Janet's heart was still pretty weak for the surgery.

The ceremony began. "Nothing makes God happier when two people come together in love." The vicar began. He continued talking for about 10 minutes, then began on the vows:

"I, Andrew Roper, take you Janet Scott to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

""I, Janet Scott, take you Andrew Roper to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

They both smiled at each other.

"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do"

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do"

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Janet turned to look at Andy, as he bends down. "I love you so much" he said.

Everyone began to clap, as they came back up for air. Even Ade.

They all began to leave the room, leaving Andy and Janet still at the front.

*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

The crash teams were on it. Not again. Everyone thought. Not today of all the bloody days as they all turned around to face Andy who was holding her hand, the girls the other side of her.

The machine bleeping stopped after only a couple of minutes but there was no continuous bleeping. The doctor looked up and spoke.

"Time of Death: 10:46am"
