Chapter Five;
David

"Fantastic sarge," she grinned at Will and gave a thumbs-up. "Yeah, we're on him now. He's on Canley High Street at the moment. Okay, yeah, good luck." She put down the radio and glanced at Will. "They're on Bolt, a chase up by PC Brown, so we could have something there."

"So do we keep tailing David or not bother?"

"We keep on him. He's Bolt's brother, he has to know something." Will nodded and turned his attention back to the road as David Bolt took a left turn. "He's doubling back."

"Great, I think he's noticed us." He pulled over and let Stevie call in the index on the radio for traffic to find. Will got out of the car and glanced after him. He noticed David stick his head out of the window and look back at them. As he did a car came careening out of a side street and collected the front of his car. Bolt went spinning and Will ran up to the crash site, going first to Bolt's car. The driver of the other car was shaken but not hurt, but Bolt was unconscious. Yanking open the car door Will glanced at Stevie as she joined him. "You better get an ambulance." Pulling David Bolt out and laying him on the ground, Will started to rouse the man. He woke quickly, startled by the sight of Will.

"You! Why were you following me?"

Will pulled out his warrant card. "TDC Will Fletcher, Sun Hill Police." The man slumped back. "You spoke to my partner here." He motioned to Stevie and David looked at her with a small nod. "Where were you going Mr. Bolt?"

"My ex-wife's place. I wanted to go talk to my daughter Ellie, she's 19 and struggling at university. I told you that I haven't seen Craig, why don't you believe that?"

"Where is she? Was she expecting you?"

"Yes. She's at 36 Maycroft Estate, she's there with her mother." He groaned. "God, do you people ever listen?"

Will stood as the ambulance appeared and went over to Stevie. "He was headed to his daughter's place."

"Can she confirm that?"

"He says she can."

"Check it. I'll go talk to the other driver." Will grabbed his radio and went searching for the daughter's number as Stevie went to the man in the other car. "Sir, can you tell me who you are and what happened?"

The man, a tall fair-haired man of about 30, nodded. "My name is Lewis Dunn. I was coming down here and this guy just came out of nowhere, he wasn't even watching the road, and I couldn't stop. What happened?"

"Alright Mr. Dunn, thank you." She jotted down the details then turned away.

"What about my car?"

"Do you have a phone?" He nodded and pulled it out. "So, call a tow-truck." She headed back to the ambulance where they were loading David Bolt. "How is he?"

The paramedic answered. "No more than a broken ankle. He's fine. Just, give him some time, we've got him on pain relief at the moment. Do you want to come down to the hospital with him?"

Stevie shook her head. "I'll get someone from uniform to meet you down there." She grabbed her radio and called for uniform support as Will walked back towards her talking on his mobile. She finished the call then watched him talking. He hung up a minute later. "Well?"

"I just spoke to Ellie Roxon. She was expecting her father twenty minutes ago to talk about getting her a loan. He was telling the truth."

"Roxon?"

"Her mother's maiden name. She assured me her father was David Bolt. Described him perfectly and even gave us his rego. I think he was genuine about not hearing from Craig because Ellie mentioned the same thing when I told her why we were following her father. She said she hasn't spoken to her uncle in years, said her father called him a bad influence."

"Probably a good call on David's part." She sighed. "Okay, so we can say David isn't in on this whole underage prostitute thing then. Maybe not safely, but let's just say he isn't." Will nodded. "That was a morning wasted. Let's get back to the nick, see what we can find on someone DS Turner mentioned. Someone called Brecht."

Will frowned. "I know that name." He paused. "And I think I know where we can find him."

Stevie beamed. "Great. Let's go then." They headed back to the car.

h.g girl: There's 25 chapters in each story and six parts in the series altogether. Following this there's; Part 2: Natovnia, Part 3: Brown, Part 4: Carter, Part 5: Faison and Part 6: Spark

No1Jater: Down here the Max/Millie pairing just started (they've just shown 'Righteous Kill') but I'm not the only one I know who can't wait for 'Smash and Grab'. I, as I'm sure you do, hope there will be more for these two in the future.

Lalalucy: In that case: welcome to the Bill archives and I'm glad you like the story. I hope you find some more favourites on here because there's some fantastic pieces (and keep the Mix (I believe the correct name is Mallie actually! Lol) love going by writing one too. I'd love to read it!).

Krissie: If I can keep converting people then soon we'll have an army of Mallie fans. Lol!

Megan: Thanks again for the love. It's so good to be back to it after a long hiatus and have so much support, especially for such an obscure pairing. ;)
