Standing at the end of the wharf, Kerry looks around, seeing Lawson look up at her, she walks over sitting down next to him, seeing the phone open in his hand "Shannon" more of a statement than a question. She doubts Lawson would tell Shannon about what ever happened, if he did, no doubt work would be awkward to say the least.

Staring out over the bay, she glances at Lawson, "I'm off to HQ shortly, this is my shit that is happening, not yours, TR needs one of us"

Turning to look at Kerry "no, your in enough shit as it is Kerry, let me sort this out, if you admit they are yours, that could be your career, Josh can handle TR"

Smiling wryly, "i think it is my career, I'm not giving up, TR is mine, I'm not leaving it. "

Touching her hand, he quickly pulls it away, feeling something there "they can't prove its mine or yours" Wishing she had as much optimism and Lawson "fingerprints, mine" Turning around to face her "AS slow as IA and ESD is, they will figure it out, eventually."

Wanting to know one thing "why IA and ESD think your involved?" "Wrong place wrong time again, i bought drugs, for Greg to get him to talk, the dealer was under investigation, i walked right into it, again. I know they'd taken photos, Chris showed them to me a while ago. Strike 2"

Getting up off the seat, Kerry turns to Lawson smiling at him "Just promise me, you won't let my shit destroy you," 'AS long as you give up trying to find all of this out, and leave it to drug squad"

Looking at Lawson in the face, she shakes her head. Leaning over she kisses him on the cheek "thanks" before walking off, if she was at work, things could be awkward and difficult, but at the moment she is grateful he is there for her.

Working out in the gym after coming back, from the wharf, taking her frustration out on the treadmill and bike. Getting off them, walking back to her room, she passes the bar, looking in, it is so easy, to walk inside and just have a drink.

Walking into her room, looking around, the housekeepers hadn't come yet, the empty bottles still there, running her hand through her hair, whats happening, to her. Hearing a knock on the door, she opens it, finding Chris standing there. Leaving the door open, he follows her in. Sitting on the bed she waits for him to speak.

Seeing him look around, the room he says nothing seeing all the empty bottles. Walking over to be near her "Ive just come from ESD and drug squad, Lawson as of tomorrow is back in TR" seeing Kerry close her eyes "I'm sorry Kerry, they are keeping your suspension in place, they think they have found enough at your place to investigate further." Seeing her biting her lip he wishes he had better news for her, looking at her and the empty bottles, he has no doubt they she had a huge night.

Seeing her look up with her blue eyes, all he wants to do is take her in his arms "If that is all the door is there" Sitting down on the edge of the couch, keeping his distance from her "I'm sorry Kerry, I'm trying to help you here," Giving a short dry laugh "wonder what not helping is then?" as she stands up. Knowing he deserved what came from her, he just hopes that soon she will understand that he didn't want to be involved in it.

Looking around the room better, the amount of bottles he wonder if she was by herself. Seeing Chris looking around the room, her eyes dart around, why doe she feel guilty it isn't like they were going out, not yet.

Looking around his eyes set on the bed, with it not made, and the sheets everywhere, he wonders who spent the night with her. Seeing Chris look at the bed and back to her, there is no mistaking there is hurt in his eyes, walking over to the bed and sitting down her arms folded across her chest, daring him to ask her. Looking around the bed, she sees a condom in the sheets, relief at least they did something right. Not wanting Chris to see it she tries to pull the sheets up.

Looking up she sees Chris's eyes upon hers "I'm not stupid Kerry, was it some random guy you bought back here, and here I was thinking we had something special" "Glaring at him "so did I guess we were both wrong" Wondering who it was, "who was he Kerry?" Seeing her look at him the hurt and guilt showing in her blue eyes, getting no response "was it Lawson?" Her face now blank showing no emotion, she points to the door 'the door is that way, now get out"

Walking out of the room, he wants to turn around, he wants to stay and hold her, tell her he still wants her. Closing the door behind him, he leans against it, hearing things thrown, takes all his self control not to walk back in and wrap his arms around her, knowing he is the last person, she wants to see. She needs someone, someone she wouldn't sleep with, getting out his phone he makes a call.

Watching Chris walk out the door, the guilt of the night before, and the hurt of seeing Chris, and the fact that she is still suspended. Picking up an empty beer can, she throws it across the room, opening the fridge, seeing nothing in there, she slams it shut, walking out the door, down to the bar. Sitting at the bar, she looks at the barman, thankful it is a different one "Keep the drinks coming?"

Leaving the TR base, Leon makes his way to St Kilda. Walking into the bar, he looks around, seeing Kerry on the barstool, sipping on her drink. He was hoping Chris was wrong when he called him a while ago, but knowing how Kerry dealt with the death of the cyclist, he wasn't surprised.

Walking up to the counter, "a beer" before turning to Kerry "what are you drinking" Looking up Leon in surprise "what are you doing here" "Keeping an eye on you, your designated driver" Leon replies

"i don't need a driver considering this is my home or anyone watching out for me" Kerry replies glaring at Leon.

Used to his moods and outbursts "yes you do and I'm staying, so get used to it, remember what happened last time Kerry" Looking at Leon slightly confused "your bright idea of a tattoo" Trying not to smile at Leons caring nature she just nods "your buying the drinks, I like tattoos"

Stumbling out of the bar a few hours later, Kerry turns to Leon slurring "Lets head into ST Kilda or the city" "Why not just stay here, call it a night" Leon asks, knowing the answer

"You can, but I'm going out?" Kerry replies firmly, knowing he can't talk her out of it as tired as he is, he agrees to go with her. Wanting to call Lawson to help him, but remembering last time, when he called her and he wouldn't help he knew he was by himself.

Following Kerry into ST Kilda and the pubs, he tries not to drink the shots she gets him, trying to keep sober enough to help her was proving hard, when she kept buying him drinks. Walking out as the last pub closed In the early hours of the morning, Kerry seemed ready to pass out, helping her back to the hotel, was hard with her stumbling along "I have a great idea Leon, I want another tattoo" Rolling his eyes "tomorrow Kerry, I'll take you tomorrow"

Walking into the hotel, "Kerry what's your room number " not remembering she gets out her swipe card, giving it to Leon. Walking her into the room, he helps her over to the bed. Lying her down, he takes her shoes off. Sitting up on the bed, she stumbles to the bar fridge, opening it, she pours herself and Leon a scotch before sculling it.

Watching Kerry, Leon feels helpless, walking over to her "Kerry i think your had enough" Trying to help her over to her bed, he feels Kerry wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling his head down to hers, she kisses him hard on the lips,

Feeling Kerry's arms wrap around him and the feel of her lips against his, he knows he should pull away but this is what he's wanted for a long time he had tried to hide his feelings, but Kerry is his boss. Starting to pull away from her, she is making it hard, feeling her hands move down his back. Moving his face away from hers "Kerry, i don't think you really should do this"

Leaning back in "Oh shut up Leon, this will be the night of your life" before kissing him again.

Finding it hard to resist her, this is what he has wanted for so long, even turning up on her front door for her birthday, they had a few drinks and that was it. Closing his eyes, he feels her hands moving down and undoing his pants, "ohh" he whispers to himself. Part of him knows it is wrong, but a voice telling him, come morning Kerry won't remember anything about this night, like last time.

Moving her hands around Leon, she starts to walk over to the bed, still kissing him she puts him down on the bed. Giving into her, Leon responds to her kisses. Fumbling around in his pocket he pulls out a condom, putting it on he gives in, as he wraps his arms back around Kerry, "Show me the night of my life"

As he feels Kerry on top of him he starts to groan, he knows there is no turning back, now, will things be the same between them.

Waking up before dawn has broken, Leon sits on the edge of the bed, looking at Kerry sleeping "oohh" shaking his head, getting up quietly out of the bed, picking up his clothes off the bed, he tries to be as quiet as he can, without waking up Kerry.

Picking up his pillow he quickly gets dressed before creeping over to the lounge, getting a blanket, he tries to get some sleep.

Waking up, later on, Leon looks around, making sure there is nothing that indicated what happened. Seeing the condom on the floor he quickly picks it up, putting it in his bag.

Waking up, Kerry looks around, her head hurting again but hearing a noise. Sitting up in bed, she brings the sheets up looking next to her, there is no one, but looking around she sees Leon "oh shit oh god oh god oh shit" she keeps on saying.

Walking over close to the bed, Leon knew she have this reaction the same as last time. "Kerry nothing happened, we went out, you got drunk, you practically passed out, and i brought you back to the hotel. Nothing happened Kerry" Looking at Leon, she wonders if he is telling the truth, how come she has no clothes on then, oh shit what happened.

Pointing to the couch "I slept there, was too late to go home, and I was worried about you." then walking over to get his bag "I have to get to work"

Seeing Leon looking at her "what Leon?" shaking his head "Nothing, are you going to be ok, nothing happened Kerry" then crossing his fingers "I promise?". Walking out of the room, with a spring in his step, he couldn't believe the night he just had and with Kerry, she got one thing right, it was the night of his life, pity he doubts it would ever happen again.

Getting up a while later, and logging onto her computer, at least this wasn't taken by ESD, opening up the files, she looks at the names she has put together and the ones that she got yesterday. Grabbing her car keys she catches the lift down to the lobby.

Arriving at TR a short time later, she walks in looking around, man she misses this place, she has given up so much of her life to be here. Seeing Leon turn around in surprise "what are you doing here" Ignoring his question as she walks into her cubicle, gathering some information she puts it in her car, before walking back in again and getting her key turning to face him "You never saw me here."

Walking back towards her car she hears her name "Inspector Vincent?" Looking up seeing two men in suits getting used to this "yeah, who are you?" Detectives Baker and Hasham from homicide" Looking up at them surprise "homicide, whats this about?" "Inspector Vincent, we are arresting you for the murder of Damian Stroud?" Looking around her mouth wide open she follows them to the car
