Disclaimer not mine. Thanks to my one review on this story. Hope you like this Red Writer. I may not write anymore for Blue Murder after this is finished. I love the show but it seems we are in a minority.

Search and Rescue.

Richard drove towards Janine's house in silence. He knew Louise was right to get her phone to forensics but he just couldn't get the image Michael had painted for him out of his mind. He knew his boss was a sensible woman, there was no way she would put herself in danger deliberately. Not with four young children at home. There was no way she would give Pete an excuse to go for custody. Throwing the car into a parking space outside her house he looked up to see Ellie in the window. Sighing heavily he got out the car to face the young girl and her siblings.

Janine had been scared before. But not like this. She drew in a shuddering breath as she felt the cold metal of a gun barrel against her temple. The man that had grabbed her in the car park was the man responsible for killing the young woman in the nightclub, she just knew it.

"Not so gobby now." He hissed in her ear before kissing the skin just below it. Janine closed her eyes as she resisted the urge to be sick. He laughed before pushing the gun closer to her skin. "Do you know who I am? I know you, DCI Lewis. I saw you on the tellie telling everyone about that poor girl."

"No." Janine hated how her voice sounded. This wasn't her. He had said it himself. She was Detective Chief Inspector Janine Lewis. The anger at her abduction combined with her fear at being held at gun point was not a good combination. "Actually, yes I think I do. I do think I know who you are. And that is why you haven't shown me your face once, isn't it?"

"Oh. I am so scared." He laughed before shoving her forward. Janine stumbled before getting her footing secure.

"You should be." She smirked. "Once my team know I am missing there'll be Hell to pay. You don't just abduct a copper and get away with it. It's a seperate crime. Assault and Assault on a Police Officer."

"Yeah, well they'll have to find me first. Before they do that, they'll be trying to identify your body." He smirked as Janine closed her eyes. She could do nothing but keep the man talking and prey Richard and the others knew what had happened. She opened her mouth too speak again as the caught her on the temple and sent her into the darkness once more.

"Forensics have the Boss' phone." Kat announced as Shapps looked up from his computer.

"Yeah. Reckon we'll have any information back in the next twenty four hours but we already know one set of prints on it." She threw herself into her chair as Louise walked up to them.

"It is still a missing person's case." She raised an eyebrow as the three detectives failed to respond. "Just because it is DCI Lewis."

"She's our mate, aswell as our Boss Ma'am." Shapps got to his feet. "And with all due respect we are working our arses off here to find her and could do without you reminding us that the longer a MisPer is missing the more likely it is that we are looking for a murderer rather than a kidnapper."

"Yeah." Butchers joined in. "Because if she is dead."

"Butchers." Kat narrowed her eyes.

"I wouldn't want to be the one to tell Richard Mayne, never mind her kids."

"What is going on with those two?" Louise asked as Kat smiled.

"Not for us to say, Ma'am." Kat smiled as both men looked at her aghast, unable to believe a woman of her rank had missed what was going on underneath her nose.

"Ellie." Richard sighed as the teenager opened the door. "Tom and the others home? Have you spoken to your Dad?" He jogged up the steps to the front door.

"Yeah, Michael is with him now. Lucy's asleep."

"Ok." Richard smiled as he thought of the little girl. Lucy was like a clone of her mum. "Look, is there anyone with you?"

"Auntie Helen has arrived. Michael called her after he spoke to you. She said she'll stay until Mum turns up. Frankly I don't see why she is here. I can look after Lucy and Tom. Michael is in a right state. Dad is nowhere near. He flew out to Spain this morning with that bimbo."

"That Bimbo may well be your step mother soon." Richard closed the front door behind him as Ellie nodded.

"Yeah, more fool him. Richard, where's my Mum?" Richard closed his eyes as he listened to the girl.

"We will find her. You know that, yeah?"

"Yeah." Ellie smiled at him. "Yeah."

"Now I need to talk to that dozy brother of yours." He watched as she rolled her eyes.

"He's in the kitchen. Arguing with Auntie Helen."

"Oh great." Richard followed her into the kitchen as raised voices and the cry of a toddler could be heard.

"Are you sure?" Butchers pushed his glasses further up his nose as he stared at Shapps.

"Yeah, traffic called it in about twenty minutes after the Guv went missing." He smiled. "Black Renault Megane speeding going through the High Street, heading towards the industrial estate on the outskirts of town."

"Right then."

"I've called Richard. He's nearest. Uniform can provide back up." Kat stated as she grabbed her jacket. "He was still at Janine's house when I called him."

"What about paramedics?" Butchers asked as Shapps shot him a glance.

"We wont need them." He decided as he almost knocked DSC Hogg over as he marched out of the office. The blonde woman narrowed her eyes as Butchers and Kat followed suit.

"We still have a murder investigation! Do not let this get personal!" She called as all three detectives ignored her as she stared after them.
