I hear talk?

Pushkar sat next to Brian as they both waited for Lincoln to be brought from the cells. Pushkar knew she had already been charged with abducting Sandra and was currently back on remand. It was her relationship with Sally Morris he wanted to know about. Brian rested his hands on the table in front of them as the door opened to allow Lincoln and her lawyer to enter.

"Hello Eleanor." Brian looked up as the skinny blonde stood opposite them.

"You're the bloke with the dog." She stated as he nodded.

"That's right. Look just sit down a minute." Brian watched as she sat down next to her lawyer. Pushkar pressed the record button on the tape.

"For the benefit of the tape the time is 14:25 on Thursday 26th May 2011. Those present are Eleanor Lincoln, her lawyer Peter Jones. Brian Lane and myself Sargaent Pushkar Guha." He folded his hands on the table and stared at the blonde who folded her arms and stared at him.

"You have told us you kidnapped Detective Superindendant Sandra Pullman." Brian started.

"Yeah. Eh, did your mutt ever turn up?"

"Scampi, yes yes he did." Brian stared at her. "See thats why I don't believe you are all that bad. I mean you were clearly concerned about my dog when I approached you."

"I ain't a monster." She narrowed her eyes. "I like dogs."

"So do I." Brian answered. "Why did you abduct Sandra?"

"I don't av to talk to you. You ain't even a real copper. Not anymore. He said." She nodded towards the suited man in the corner.

"No that's right. But this man 'ere." Brian kept his eyes on her "He is a real copper. You and McCarthy took Sandra and were going to kill her. That's right isn't it? I mean you certainly 'av form for it."

"No comment."

"Oh come on Eleanor." Pushkar sighed. "You know we already know about the deal with Morris. We know you were paid to kill her and from past experience we know you. You killed that landlord in cold blood. Left him for his 13 year old daughter to find his dead body. We know it wasn't you that was the innocent dragged into all this by your boyfriend. We also know Sally Morris turned up to visit you in prison on more than one occasion."

"If you know so much why am I even 'ere?" Eleanor sneered. Pushkar sighed as he realised it was not going to be easy to get her to talk.

"Are you ready for this?" Emily took her jacket off as Jack nodded.

"Ready as I'll ever be. Look Emily, you are the only serving police officer going to be in that room. You take the lead." He held the door to the UCOS office open as Gerry picked up his coffee. "Gerry, you stay here. Keep an eye on Sandra. However much she thinks she has detached herself from the investigation she is still involved. It is still affecting her." Jack nodded towards the inner office where Sandra's blonde head could be seen bent over her paperwork. Emily nodded.

"Yeah, he's right Dad."

"I know." Gerry looked at the floor. He hadn't told the others but he had heard her crying in her sleep when she had stayed at his house. He knew that was something she would never admit to. She was the Guv after all. "So, how are you doing this? Formally charge her with corruption or keep it off the record?"

"I think I am going to make this formal. Strickland says we could, if we have enough evidence. Which I think we do." Emily followed Jack out of the office as Gerry made his way towards Sandra's office.

"Yes Gerry?" Sandra didn't even look up from the folder she was reading.

"You alright Guv?"

"Why is everyone asking me that?" She snapped. "Emily was in here earlier on asking the same thing. Brian doesn't seem to know what to say to me and Jack is convinced I am going to fall apart at any moment. Well I am not. I am ok. For God's sake Gerry I have handled worse on my own before." She snapped the folder shut as Gerry raised his eyebrows.

"Really? You've been kidnapped, beaten up before and held hostage only to find out it was a former colleague that organised it? The same former colleague that broke up your engagement twenty years ago before? I am sorry I didn't realise." Gerry watched as Sandra looked away.

"That's enough Gerry."

"No Guv. It is not enough." Gerry snapped at her. "You are not on your own and the sooner you realise it the better!"

"I said that's enough." Sandra was furious. She was not going to get upset. Not again.

"Well stop being so pigheaded then." Gerry sulked as Sandra smirked.

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Gerry!"

"Sandra." She couldn't help but smile.

"Jack asked you to keep an eye on me didn't he?"

"Yeah. So."

"So I hate being here knowing Brian is talking to Lincoln and Jack and Emily have gone after Sally. And I am starving." She smiled slightly as Gerry shook his head.

"Right then. Pub. Come on."

"What?"

"Lunch and you are buying. Come on." Gerry grabbed her jacket and ushered her out of the office.

Emily stared at the older woman. She found it difficult that she was the same rank as the woman opposite her. Sally was closer to her father's age than her own.

"You know why we are here." Emily started as Sally rolled her eyes.

"Why would that be?" Sally tried her best to look innocent.

"Sally Morris I am arresting you in connection with the conspiracy to abduct Detective Superintendant Sandra Pullman. You have the right to remain silent, it may go against you when questioned if you fail to mention anything you may later relay on in court." Emily felt Jack tense next to her. It had only meant to be an informal interview. Now she had taken it to the next level and Jack really wasn't sure they were ready to go for the arrest. He glanced at Emily as she held the older woman's glare.

"This is absurd!"

"Really? I don't think so. You know we have two people in custody who both state you went to visit them in prison. The records of you attending confirm this. Look Sally we know you have never been able to stand Sandra and we know you paid Lincoln and McCarthy money to kill Sandra." Jack decided now Emily had started he had to back her up.

"Visiting is not a crime."

"No that's right." Emily answered. "Hiring a hitman is."

"I'd start talking if I were you." Jack sat back in his chair as Sally's lawyer looked on uncomfortably. Sally had paid to have a fellow officer murdered and she wasn't denying it. Jack glared. It was going to be an interesting court case and he could see she was totally unrepentant. He hated to think of the way the court case was going to affect his friends, especially Sandra and Gerry.

A/N Please review. It was a bit too easy for Emily and Jack wasn't it? Is there more to find out? Nearly finished now. More soon x
