Dialling Josh's number she races to her car driving off "Josh meet me at the warehouses in Docklands, near number 7".
Arriving at Docklands a short time later, she takes the bullet proof vest always kept in the car out, putting it on before strapping her gun to her thigh, before calling Josh "Where are you, hurry up"
Josh "I'm nearly there, about a minute away"
Looking around the warehouse, she hears noises, hopping in the car she drives around to where the noises come from putting her phone on speaker "I'm near number 7, drive around" before hanging up. Pulling up she sees two guys with Greg, driving her car as close as she can, she gets out, pulling the gun off her thigh. Looking around she sees Greg, on the ground, seeing Josh pull up and get out of the car along with Stella.
Looking up and seeing the police there, the two guys quickly hop in a car before driving off. Kerry aims her gun at the car, shooting at the back window hearing it smash with the bullets, but keep on driving. Josh turns to Kerry "are you alright, not going to ask why you have a gun off duty" before racing over to the passenger seat.
Nodding "Just get after them" before racing over to check on Greg. Leaving him on the ground she goes and gets her mobile and calls an ambulance, getting a blanket out of the car she runs over wrapping the blanket around him, hoping the ambulance will get there soon.
Josh into his com "Leon need a check Mazda Bravo Yankie Romeo 63 Alfa." Turning to Stella "can't you drive any faster, we're losing the guy" "You try going any faster, the guys an idiot, weaving and whizzing though the traffic" Stella replies keeping an eye and trying to keep up with him.
Josh "If we lose him, you're the one telling Kerry?" "Didn't think you would be scared of Kerry, Josh doesn't help there is so much traffic around ?" Stella replies beeping the horn as a little honda pulls out in front of them, before slamming on the brakes. Looking around, the Mazda has vanished.
Josh gets out of the car walking over to Honda, knocking on the drivers door and opening it "You idiot, didn't you see the car and hear the sirens. Get out of the car now, and show me your licence?"
Stella into the com "Leon can you see where the Mazda went, and we need a rego check on a Honda Civic, Oscar Bravo Kilo 44 Sierra." before walking over to Josh. "You think this guy was helping out the Mazda?"
Josh "you don't suddenly pull out in front of a police car for nothing, unless you are a total moron." Smiling at Josh "there's plenty of them around, and this guy looks like one of them"
Leon into his com "Nothing on the car or the guy, clean skin, owned to a Josh Brenton"
Pulling out the cuffs, Josh cuffs him "what are you doing that for?" the guy asks "Your not Josh Brenton are you, now get in the car?" Into his com "Leon any luck on the Mazda an owner"
Leon into his com "Stolen a few hours ago, and still checking all the cameras but no luck"
At Docklands Kerry gets out her phone "Leon, how far away is the ambulance?" checking the screen "about a minute?"
Leaning down to Greg "don't you dare die on me, I need to know who did this to you, I know why well guessing?" Hearing the sirens she sighs in relief as the ambulance draws closer.
After checking him over, they load him into the ambulance, walking over to them "how he is, where are you taking him" Seeing the ambulance take off, relieved that he is stable, deciding to go to the hospital first thing in the morning she heads back to her apartment, not wanting to stay at the hotel.
Hopping in her car, the phone rings, not looking at he caller Id she answers it. Hearing the voice on the other end as Chris "Kerry where are you? he asks worriedly. Tired about the days events "heading back to my apartment"
Chris "you know it's not safe there, why not come back to the hotel?"
Rolling her eyes "I'm going back to my apartment, didn't think the hotel offer was still there, considering what happened today. Just keep James safe?" before hanging up on him.
Stella and Josh are still driving around, "Leon anything, we are doing circles here and finding nothing, give us something?"
Leon "You think its easy do you know how many cameras there are, only about 50 cameras to go" Josh into his com "Leon we need to find this guy" Looking at the cameras "I know, I'm trying"
Looking at the screen on calls "guys there is a call come in, an accident on St Kilda Rd, involving a Mazda, could be your guy"
Driving along to St Kilda it doesn't take long to spot the accident. Stopping the car Josh quickly hops out, walking cautiously over to the cars, looking into the Mazda there is no on there, looking down on the ground, he sees blood. Walking over to the other car, he looks in calling out to Stella "get an ambulance here"
Into his com "Leon is anyone still at base?" Leon "nah, most have gone home I think and have a life Josh" Josh "Just get some GD's down here then'
Following the blood trail it stops suddenly, looking around seeing glass. Stella turns to Josh 'what are you going to tell Kerry" Josh "nothing, you can't drive, maybe the driver can tell us something Lets head back to base"
Arriving home exhausted, Kerry walks in closing the door behind her. Walking over and getting herself a glass of wine before walking over to the lounge. Trying to relax she thinks about the days events. Hearing a noise outside she picks up the gun she put on the table. Walking over to the front door, she hears a knock, looking on her display she is surprised to see how it is.
Opening the door slowly and cautiously with her gun close by in case she needs it. She sees Greg standing there by himself. Looking around she ushers him inside. "What are you doing here"
"I need help, your right they are after me, not even safe in the hospital" Greg replies shaken up.
Walking down the hallway, she leads him to the lounge "you can stay here tonight, but I need names Greg, I'm not helping you unless you give me some names"
"If i give you names you will give me protection and the other thing. I'm not saying any more unless you help me" Greg replies. Staring at him "I will help you if you give me names, otherwise you are on your own, that won't be for long. Names first."
Nodding at Kerry, he knows she is right, he needs her help, and he trusts her to help him, as she has the most to lose, and her son is at risk. "Give me a pen and paper"
Giving him a pen and paper, he writes down some names, giving the list to Kerry, glancing over them she looks at him "what is this list, most of it makes no sense "
Glancing at Kerry worried and scared "I only know nicknames and first names, they don't want us to know who they are you know, so don't give us much. That is all I have"
Kerry: "I'll see what i can do"
Hearing the knock on the door, she turns to Greg "go upstairs and don't come down" before walking to the door glancing at the intercom, she sees its Lawson.
Following her in " Why are you here and not the hotel, You do know Chris is furious with you and looking for you"
Raising her eyebrows "he'll get over it and he found me anyway, didn't think I'd be welcome there since I'm a drug dealer"
Shaking his head "no one believes that Kerry and the charges will be dropped"
Hearing a noise upstairs "got visitors" Nodding "Greg"
Lawson looks at Kerry in surprise "your joking, are you sure"
Nodding at him "can you stay here a while, i have to go out for a little while" Watching at she walks out the door, he wonders what is happening here
.
Walking towards her car, she sees Lawson's car in the driveway. Walking back inside "can i borrow your car?"
Looking at her curiously "whats wrong with yours". Not wanting to get into anything "Yours is blocking the driveway and yours doesn't look like a police car, so give me your keys."
Tossing Kerry his keys he yells out "Try not to destroy car number 5 is it or 6, soon they won't even give you a car" Walking out of her apartment she calls out to him "why do you try to be such a smart ***"
Hopping in his big blue ute, she pulls out of her drive way as she drives down the street, she doesn't notice a car following her at a distance. Driving along the roads are quite deserted, not for the first time she wonders if she is doing the right thing.
Pulling up at the carpark, she waits in the car. Looking around, she is a sitting duck here, not many people around at all, but after what happened last time when she went to a house to score for James, she isn't taking the chance this time. Locking the doors, it doesn't take long before there is a knock on the window, winding it down a fraction, Kerry then opens the passenger door.
Hopping in the car, the guy pulls out a bag, giving it to Kerry, handing him the money, he quickly hops out of the car. Putting the plastic bags in her bag she pulls out of the carpark heading home.
Seeing Kerry pull up in the car park, the car pulls up further down the road still with a view of the carpark, seeing someone walk to Kerry's car and gettting out not long after he shakes his head. He has been in the drug squad long enough to know, what has just happened, and after today can't believe that she is doing this. Wanting more than anything to bust the car, even charging Kerry for stupidity he waits, to make sure she gets home, wishing in a way he never came, as he is now in a difficult position.
Arriving back at her apartment she parks Lawson's car. Getting her bag out, she opens the front door. Walking in, she sees Lawson watching TV on the lounge, looking around "where's Greg?" Pointing upstairs "Up there not much of a talker"
Walking over to the lounge she sees what he is watching "You watch this garbage hey, never thought this would be your scene" Looking at her "going to tell me where your been" Turning away from him she says nothing avoiding his gaze after a few minutes silence "you really want to know"
Looking at her face and trying to gauge a reaction "Knowing you probably not, my car came back in one piece though" Rolling her eyes at him "Your such smart *** and try hard you know" Laughing "so you keep on telling me"
Looking at her leaning back on the lounge with a glass of wine she turns to him "cheers, here's hoping we find these people"
"You need to be careful, you have no idea who your dealing with her Kerry" Lawson replies worried to what lengths she will go to. "I will get and find what i want" she replies determinedly.
"I know, thats what im worried about and to what lengths, you don't have 9 lives Kerry" Lawson replies knowing she still won't see sense "you worry too much Lawson, need to relax more, still have many lives left, can't get rid of me that easy" Kerry replies
Glancing up and seeing Greg walking down the stairs she gets up, and walks over to him, ushering him back upstairs she hands him a small package. Turning around to go back down stairs she bumps into Lawson "Speak to me Kerry, what are you doing?" Her eyes darting between Greg and Lawson "Just making sure Greg is ok" Looking at Greg who is hiding the plastic bag "bullshit"
Lawson stares at Kerry then Greg "going to tell me whats going on here"
Pushing Lawson back down the stairs "stay out of it Lawson" before walking away from him.
Walking towards her "Talk to me Kerry, what are you doing here" Fiddling so she doesn't have to look at him "i don't know what you think i was doing but..." Facing her "Really, where were you tonight Kerry" seeing her eyes dart around and silence from her, he leans towards her "I want to help you but I can't if you don't talk to me"
Walking over to the lounge and pouring herself another drink "I don't need your help or want it Lawson" then softening, "I'm not dragging you into this mess, I'm the one they want or James"
Looking at her worried face "Do you really think your doing the right thing here Kerry?" Not even looking at him "what is the right thing" then looking at him "you would do the same if it was your son, this is my son Lawson. So tell me is there a right thing and what is it." Not being able to answer her but her reply gives him an idea of where she was and any answer she won't want to listen to anyway. Is there a right way after all he feels so helpless.
Looking at the time, and realising he has been much longer than he told Shannon, but not wanting to leave her alone. Seeing Lawson glance at the time "somewhere you need to be, like Shannon" looking at him in the eye to see his reaction. Realising she is watching him, he shakes his head. "Lawson, i don't need someone looking after me, if you need to go then go, i don't need a baby sitter"
Picking up his keys he heads off "lock all the doors" rolling her eyes at him "think i know what to do" then watching him walk out "thanks" before closing the door.
Watching Lawson walk out the door, Chris realises Kerry is still up, but now vunerable as she is by herself so with no choice he sits and waits. .
Walking over to her bag, she opens "Oh ***" just as she hears the door bell ring. Glancing at the intercom she mumbles "can this night get any better" Not being wanting another interogation or even bothering to speak to Chris not with Greg upstairs, she turns away.
Leaving the lights on for the time being she walks up stairs, exhausted from the previous days, lying in bed, she can't sleep her mind replaying all the events. She needs to get Greg out of here, whilst he is here, neither of them are totally safe. She has to get him to a better/safer place otherwise both of them are likely to end up dead. Where to is another question..
