As soon as Keane and O'Karo had left, Kerry and Dan were on their own.
They looked at each other and Kerry gave a weak little smile. She still wasn't right, but the doctor had given her some medication to get her back to her normal self.
"Hey, do you want me to go babe?" Dan asked Kerry
Kerry looked at him, smiling and replied:
"Keane said I aint allowed to let you out of my sight, and I wouldn't want you to go anyway".
Dan asked:
"You sure now? I'll go if you want some sleep mind?"

Just as she did, Smithy walked through the door, and stood there watching them kiss, watching the woman he secretly loved, kissing another PC. Dan saw him standing there and pulled away from Kerry, which made her turn and see their Sergeant standing there, not knowing what to do. So Smithy just turned and walked away. Dan glanced at Kerry, and saw by her face that she didn't know whether to go after him, or leave him. Then, after about 10 and a half seconds of thinking, Kerry decided to...
