A few days later…
Walking away from the cemetery, Lawson turns around, seeing Kerry still by the graveside of Chris, giving her time there, he hides in the background.
With no one around, the tears falling freely down her face "Im so sorry Chris, this is all because of me, I wish I could of saved you. I will get those responsible, they will pay for this. You shouldn't have died, it should have been me not you. I'm sorry I couldn't try to save you, I wanted to and tried, seeing what they did to you" Kneeling on the ground her face wet with tears. Not even hearing the footsteps coming up behind her, feeling an arm around her, leaning into it. Hearing Lawson whisper "Lets get you out of here"
Arriving at TR the following morning Lawson is surprised to see Kerry there, walking up to her "Sure you should be at work" Snapping at him "I'm fine" before walking away from him.
Walking over to Leon "Give me all the information you have, about the other day at the warehouse" Turning to look at Kerry "I can't" seeing her lean closer to him, trying to move away from her "What do you mean I can't I want those files and names"
Moving his chair away from her "I'm not allowed to Kerry, if they find out." Feeling her face and breath only inches from his "Do you want your job Leon?" Nodding unable to speak "then give me those files, or get out of here"
"I'll try to find them for you" he ends up saying, watching Kerry walk away he gets out his mobile quickly ringing Lawson.
Hanging up her phone a few minutes later, Kerry storms out into the coms room walking up to Leon "Pack you things and get out of here now" Walking back to her office and back to him a short time later, she hands him a piece of paper, looking at it then at Kerry "what is this"
Leaning down close to him "Your fired, your termination" before walking over to the head piece putting it on, "Shannon I need you back at base" before walking away.
Looking at Kerry in shock and the letter, he opens it up, sure enough there it is. Putting it back in the envelope, he quickly goes to the computer, googling what he needs and writing it down before, picking up his bag and leaving TR.
Walking into base a short while later, Shannon walks up to Kerry "You're the only one in the team with any idea of how to use the intel system, I need you to help out for a few days?" Looking at Kerry "where's Leon" walking away "Fired, I need a list and names of everyone at the warehouse the other day, phone numbers addresses, what ever you can get".
Looking at Kerry's retreating body "I only know how to do so much Kerry, I'm not an intel officer, where's Audrey" Not even looking at her "On rotation, Well learn quickly, I want the information asap"
Turing back to the computer "Maybe you shouldn't of fired Leon then" before adding "I'll see what I can do"
Walking in later that day, Stella laughs as she sees Shannon at the computer "Shut up Stel, or I'll get you in here" smiling sweetly at her friend "but Kerry likes me Shannon" before walking out.
Watching the team leave Kerry walks up to Shannon who is with Lawson later that day "Thanks, Shannon for filling in today" Seeing Lawson looking at her "Maybe you should get Leon back" , ignoring him she walks out of base.
Driving out of base, Kerry heads to Docklands, walking into the bar, she orders a drink, sculling it before ordering another one. Taking them over to a table, she sits over looking the bay, drowning one drink after another. Looking up she sees a shadow over the table "is this seat taken?" Looking up at the guy she turns around ignoring him. Hearing him sit down next to him she turns and glares at him "What do you want?" Looking into her blue eyes "to buy you a drink" staring back at him "gin and tonic then" Seeing the guy come back with a few drinks, she quickly sculls them.
A few hours later, feeling quite woozy and light headed she goes to stand up, grabbing the chair for support turning around she goes to walk out "Not going to say goodbye" Looking at the guy "Get lost" before sitting down again. Seeing her drink at the table, she finishes it off.
Walking out of the bar, in the early hours of the morning, Kerry heads back to where her car is, slightly grateful for the company next to her. Feeling very light headed she sits down over looking the bay. Feeling the guys arms around her, she turns her head to face him, feeling his lips upon her, she wants to fight him off, but her body ignoring her signals. Feeling his hands moving around her back and stomach, she feels them moving lower down her body.
Mumbling out loud "what are you doing" she feels the zipper of her pants undone. Her brain foggy, she tries to resist, as she feels the guy on top of her.
Summoning all of her strength a while later, she fights him off her, before quickly doing up her pants, picking up her bag and turning around. "I'm police you idiot" seeing the guy look at her, "OH shit, I didn't do anything wrong or you didn't want" before fleeing .
Finding a seat out of sight, she sits down, over looking the bay, her eyes filling up with tears, her brain foggy looking back at the bar, it would be so easy just to go back in there.
Staring out over the bay, she watches as the sun comes up before walking slowly back to her car. Sitting in the drivers seat, she bangs her head against the wheel before pulling out a while later.
Pulling into TR base a short time later, she hops out, seeing no one around, she heads to the showers, letting the water pour over her body.
Walking out into the coms room, she sees Leon sitting at the computer "What part of your fired, don't you understand Leon?"
Turning around to smile at Kerry "I have rights Kerry, the right to have my name spelt correctly, the right for the correct date, and I had no counselling or ESD". Walking over to him, no smile on her face "thanks for pointing that out Leon, I'll get them fixed and give it back to you"
Watching Kerry walk out, the smile slipped from his face, he was sure it was a joke and not true, but seems not. Turning back to the computer screen
Hearing Kerry come out a short time later "Where's Lawson?" Pointing to the screen "where do you think working" then thinking before looking at her "Would of thought all this time Kerry you would know Lawson works, and that dot on the screen with TR1 is him" Glaring at him "Do you like your balls where are Leon?"
Laughing at her "Kerry, there are three things you don't do in anger, drive a car, have sex or PUT IT IN WRITING"
Walking closer to him, she puts the head piece on "Lawson I'll get Leon to send you through an address meet me there" Turning to Leon, send Lawson this address. Looking at the address and name "How'd you get this Kerry?"
Raising her eyebrows at him "I don't need you here Leon, to get information" before walking out.
Arriving at the house a short time later, Kerry sees both TR cars there, walking towards Lawson, "Your call on this" Nodding at her, he notices her gun on her hip, looking at her face and her breath he pulls her aside "go back to base, we will take it from here"
Shaking her head, replying firmly "Im staying" leaning down to her "Kerry you need to be 0 here with a gun, you've been done for DUI before" Looking at Lawson "I'm fine"
Watching Lawson take control, standing back by her car, she watches as they go up to the house, hearing a nosie shortly later, she sees a car reversing down the driveway, into her com as she's running towards TR 1 parked closer "Lawson, driveway"
Watching Kerry run near the driveway and pull her gun from her hip as she takes aim at the car, hearing a shot he doesn't want to look.
Watching the car quickly go back into the garage, it isn't long before they see a motor cycle come out, with a gun in his hand, shooting randomly, tearing down the driveway Lawson and Stella fire back along with Christian who has come from around the back. Not looking ahead but at the two officers, he doesn't see TR car that Kerry had driven across the driveway. Looking up quickly as he tries to steer around it, he quickly looses his balance, falling on the ground.
Running quickly over to him, Stella covers Lawson, as he cuffs him. Dragging him up, Lawson watches as Kerry storms over to him "Give me names, I want all the names of the people you work for?" Shaking his head her stares at her, walking over to her car, she gets a tyre lever out, walking back to him, she swings it back before hitting him across the knee "Names" seeing him not answering her, she lifts her arm again, feeling Lawson's hand on hers, taking it off her "Don't Kerry, that is pretty stupid" seeing her glare at him.
Turning to his team "ESD are on there way down, since there was weapon discharge, they need a piss test." Seeing the worry in Kerry's eyes, he knows he was right about earlier on as she walks up to him "I'm going back to base, I'll give them one there".
Seeing Kerry walk away, Lawson goes after her "I'll let ESD know, there was no weapon fire from your gun"
Looking at Lawson "my gun will match the tryes, I'll be fine" before walking away from him.
Driving back to base, her mind everywhere but on the road, her thoughts wondering back to the previous night and what had happen, drifting back to Chris, Looking up her eyes wide open, as she approaches a corner too fast, trying to control the car, she feels it spinning out of control, before hearing a crunch, as it rests against a tree.
Opening her eyes a few minutes later, she looks around, getting out and surveying the damage "Oh shit" before hopping back in, putting the car in reverse, biting her lips, she feels the car moving away. Driving the last few kilometres back to base.
Getting out of the car, she quickly inspects it, how is she going to explain this to HQ. Leaning against the car, she knows she can't take it yet, they will definitely breath alyaser her. Walking inside to her desk she sits down taking deep breaths. Seeing Leon turn around "You ok" Not even replying she gets up, to get some water.
Walking back to her desk, she hears footsteps down the hallway, seeing Lawson come in "what happened to your car" Not even looking at him "doesn't matter" Looking at her in surprise "doesn't matter, Kerry, the car is smashed"
Looking up at him "what do you want Lawson?" Leaning down "Heads up, ESD will want a piss test from you, they will be here shortly"
The words just out of his mouth when Leon calls out "Kerry, ESD is here yet again for you?" Looking at Lawson trying to remain neutral, as she gets out of her chair.
Walking over to them, she follows them, coming back a short time later, with her sample then looking at them "That all" before walking back to her desk.
Hearing Leon call out her voice a short time later she looks up exasperated "What Leon, can't you do anything by yourself" as she gets out of her seat, looking up "Inspector Vincent" Looking up at him "Yeah who are you" Looking at her "Detective Steve Matthew, Can we talk somewhere?"
Following him out of the communications room she wonders what this is all about, handing her a breath alyaser "blow in here" Glancing up at him "What's this about" Looking around "I think you know, blow in there Inspector, that's your car out in the carpark"
"Theres a few cars out there, can you be more specific" before taking a deep breath she blows in it, before handing it back. Looking at it, Steve looks back at Kerry, "I don't think you need me to tell you that your over" Closing her eyes briefly before opening them, she looks at him, needing to know "What happens now?"
