A/N Thank you for the Guest review! Fin's weaknesses? Yes she does have some and they will be making an appearance very soon. I wanted Fin to be badass like the modern day SAS, but she can't be perfect because no one realistically is.

Thank you to all the readers.

Fin woke early, her wounds keeping her awake most of the night. She looked either side of her, Shifty was leaning on her sore arm and Luz had his head in her lap, no wonder she was bloody sore! Her thoughts immediately went to Tab, she hoped he was ok, he'd definitely be on his way back to Blighty for treatment, she only hoped he didn't try to get back too soon, although if it had been her she would be back asap, who was she to kid? Tab would definitely go AWOL from the hospital! Fin heard voices in the next foxhole over, bringing her back to reality.

"Hey Perconte, have you got any hot water going?"

"Yeah Fin, you brewing up again?" He called back religiously brushing his teeth.

"Yes, you brushing your teeth again?"

"I'll bring you some over" Perconte chuckled.

"Brilliant"

The conversation had roused Shifty and Luz, although Luz didn't move.

"Shit, get up Luz!" Shifty said knocking him on his helmet.

"Nah, think I'm going to stay here for a bit!"

"I need a cup of tea, you're getting up!" Fin instructed, jiggling her legs up and down until Luz moved. Fin stood up taking a long stretch, moving every muscle she could and then winced when she stretched her torso too much ooh ribs! Won't be doing that again.

"Here" Perconte said walking up to Fin's foxhole and handed over a tin mug with hot water in it.

"Thank you" Fin pulled a teabag from her jacket and dunked it in, how she would kill right now for a China teapot, cup and saucer and some milk.

"You Brits and your tea! What's the attraction?" Luz asked standing up as well.

"You Yanks and your coffee! What's the attraction?" Fin mimicked

And then suddenly the call came...

"INCOMING! GET DOWN!"

Fin chucked her tea away and dived into the Foxhole. "Nice bloody timing Jerry, I was looking forward to that cuppa!" Fin cursed.

...

They had suddenly been ambushed by the Krauts, infantrymen advancing on their position. Fin watched helplessly as the men fought hard to keep them at bay, Trenchguns, M1s, Machine Guns and Mortars. Fin was pulled in all directions with the screams for 'MEDIC!' Fin, Roe and Spina attended the mounting casualties as best they could. Fin stabilised a private who had been thrown by a mortar explosion, she dragged him to the safety of cover and took the opportunity to go forward and check the situation as the calls for medic ceased. Fin looked to her left to see that Fox and Dog Companies were no longer going forward, they were bloody retreating! Then she saw the German tanks effortlessly making there way through their hedgerow towards them. " What the fuck Sir?" Fin shouted at Welsh pointing towards Fox and Dog companies.

"Shit Fin! Looks like we're on our own!"

"Keep firing Keep firing!" Winters shouted encouraging Easy to keep going knowing that they would have seen Fox and Dog retreat.

I need to do something! "Sir! I need a weapon!"

Harry looked over at Fin just as she spotted an unmanned bazooka.

"There's a hell of a flap on Sir!" She shouts.

"What ya thinking Corporal?" Welsh shouts back.

Fin points to the bazooka "You want to live forever Sir?"

"Hell no Corporal!" Welsh calls back grinning from ear to ear.

"On me Sir! " Fin shouts pulling her red cross off and diving over the hedge, the bazooka in hand and running out into the open.

"What the fuck!" Shifty shouts over at Luz, Bill and Toye pointing at Fin holding a bazooka running towards a German tank followed by Welsh.

"Covering fire!" Winters shouts also witnessing Welsh and Fin.

Welsh follows quickly after Fin as he positions himself behind her as she aims the bazooka at an oncoming tank.

"Come on Sir" Fin shouts urging Welsh to load as the tank moves closer to them. The first shot bounces off the tank "Fuck!" They both shout in unison. "Hold still!" Welsh shouts as he reloads. "You nearly ready Sir?" Fin shouts back as the ground in front of them is peppered with shots. "Ready!" Welsh shouts. Fin holds back "No not yet! It needs to be closer!" She calls changing her mind.

"How close you want it?" Welsh shouts back, as the tank moves forward, lowering it's cannon at them. Fin looked straight down the cannon this could be it, my luck finally running out, but no she wasn't taking Welsh with her, he had to get back to Kitty.

"Now!" Firing the second shot, to their delight it hits and the tank goes up into a slope exposing it's underbelly.

"One more Sir!" Fin instructs, Welsh quickly loads and Fin fires, the tank is disabled.

"How we gonna explain this one Fin?" Welsh shouts as the tank cannon goes off but hits into the ground, shaking Fin and Welsh up and throwing them both back a few feet "Fuck!" Welsh shouts laughing, checking that Fin is still with him.

"Not my problem Sir, you said you'd provide me a cover story anytime!" Fin shouts laughing back.

They lie there for a few seconds laughing hysterically "that's the scariest bloody thing I've ever done Sir!" Fin shouts.

"Me too!" Harry shouts before they are both shocked back to their senses by a spluttering of artillery, sending them scrambling for the hedge.

"Fuck! What am I gonna say!" Welsh calls still laughing as they both dive back over.

" I'll tell you what Sir, you tell them I forced you!"

"As if girl!" Welsh laughed harder, adrenaline pumping through his body.

...

Speirs ordered his platoon to retreat going against everything he thinks a soldier should do, but he had to think of his men first. He didn't think he was able to get any angrier after Fox Company retreated, forcing Dog to as well and exposing Easy's left flank. As he ordered his men to take cover in an abandoned building, he witnessed Fin and Welsh. He needed to kill something and now! What the fuck was Welsh thinking taking a medic out to disable a tank! Did Fin even know how to fire a bazooka? Apparently she does, he watched their first shot bounce off, he flinched, the tank was closing in and they were still holding their ground as they were now being fired upon. Get out of there for fucks sake! Their second shot was successful and then their third finally disabled the tank but not before it fired into the ground sending Fin and Welsh flying. As if the whole idiotic spectacle wasn't enough already, he could see that they were laughing! They were fucking laughing!

...

"AHH! Medic!" George shouts from his machine gun as he takes a hit. Fin runs over to him, pressing her hand down hard on his shoulder.

"Am ok Fin! We got to keep firing!" George gets up, "I'll fire, you feed!" Do you know how?" he shouts at Fin. Grabbing the ammunition, Fin shows him she does.

"Look!" George shouts pointing at the arrival of some Sherman Tanks from the Second Armored Division.

Fin sighs a happy sigh of relief, also now noticing Fox and Dog advancing again.

A cheer erupts amongst the Easy men.

Fin looks out to watch the retreating German force, to see a Kraut soldier getting shot, he tries crawling away but a retreating tank backs onto him, crushing him. Fin screws up her face that's a hell of a way to go

The firing finally ceases as Fin and Doc Roe are treating more casualties. Fin bends over a panicking private "You're going to go into shock, if you don't calm down. Look at me, you're going to be fine" Fin administered the morphine and stroked his head as his breathing steadied and he kept his gaze on her.

"You look like an angel" he murmured.

"Well aren't you the sweetest, you can come again!" Fin replied softly getting a small smile out of the Private.

"Last one?" Doc asked motioning to the private with Fin.

"Yes" Fin replied.

"Ok let's get him loaded"

"Do you think you're in much trouble removing your red cross?" Doc asked as they loaded the private onto the truck.

"Probably, but Lieutenant Welsh says he'll handle it for me"

"Corporal Finney"

Fin looked up to see Nix "Come on Fin, damage control!"

"Yes Sir" turning to Doc before leaving "We all finished here Doc?"

Doc nodded "Good luck"

...

Fin walked with Nix as they approached Winters and Welsh, Speirs walked towards them. Fin looked up at him, his face was like thunder, He glared at Fin as he passed her.

"Fox retreated first forcing Dog to do the same, he is one very unhappy guy" Nix explained "Oh and he had quite a bit to say about you and Harry, so I'd keep out of his way for the time being"

Fin nodded in acknowledgement, keeping out of Speirs way is easier said than done

"Sir" Fin said addressing Winters.

"Ok Fin, Harry is lying through his teeth, so I'm only going to ask you once, did Lieutenant Welsh order you to remove your red cross and take that bazooka?" Winters looked at Fin as she ticked the question over in her head.

"Hypothetically speaking, how much trouble would Lieutenant Welsh be in, if he did Sir?" Fin asked

"No milk and cookies before bed for a month" Nix replied.

"Yes he did Sir" Fin replied without hesitating looking at Harry who looked like he was going to burst out laughing again.

...

Fin made her way back over to the Easy lads relieved that her and Welsh got off with a slapped wrist. It wasn't the action that got them in trouble it was the removal of Fin's red cross, but seen as though she was really a combatant first and Welsh claimed he ordered her to remove it, Winters let it lie, but just this once he had warned her.

...

"Will you put this back on and keep it on!" Shifty sounded annoyed as he handed Fin her red cross patch back. "I think we need to sew it on permanently" he added.

"I couldn't agree more Staff Sergeant" Speirs interrupted. "A word Corporal Finney" he said turning and walking away expecting Fin to follow.

Fin shrugged at Shifty and followed Speirs, where he stopped secluded from anyone else.

"Can I help you with something Sir?" Fin acted all nonchalant

"Did Lieutenant Welsh order you to remove your red cross and take that tank?"

"Yes sir" Fin lied

"As a medic, you are non combatant, that is the rule of War" Spiers cited

"Hence why my red cross was removed Sir" Fin replied

Speirs squinted his eyes in anger turning his gaze away for a second to compose himself before returning it to Fin "Do you think it's clever?"

"No Sir, it was necessary, after Fox and Dog Companies retreated leaving Easy exposed, it was all hands on deck. The rules of War are broken all the time Sir, German medics carry fire arms, why would someone claiming to be non combatant carry a fire arm?" Fin stated.

Speirs shoulders dropped, because of Dog retreating, Fin felt she had to run out in the open and face down a tank. He would never let that happen again.

"Why were you and Welsh laughing?" he asked

"Never been so scared in our lives Sir" Fin replied softly.

Speirs relaxed, finally something scared her, maybe now she may think twice before acting.

"Is that all Sir?" Fin asked watching Speirs think.

"Yes" he sighed

As Fin walked away, she stopped and turned to him "Sir"

Speirs looked up

"I'd do it again in a heart beat!" she smiled cheekily and then jogged away back to Shifty.

Speirs shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes, placed one in his mouth and lit it.

...

Easy had one last patrol, before Winters told them they were being pulled from the front line for R&R back in England.

"What are my orders Sir?" Fin asked when she was finally able to get Winters alone, but not entirely as Nix was with him, tied at the hip these two! Fin had observed since her time with Easy.

"What do you mean Fin?" Winters asks

"When Easy return to England, what are my orders, do I have a mission Sir?"

"You're coming back with us!" Nix laughs.

"I am?" Fin replied looking delighted.

"Of course why wouldn't you..." Winters started "...oh that's right, you didn't go back with the Red Devils did you?"

"No Sir"

"You're with Easy, where we go, you go!" Nix said patting Fin on the back.

"Right, we have a cabin to check out, stay here at the Aid Station Corporal, that's an order not open for interpretation!" Winters winked as he and Nix walked away, leaving Fin with Doc.

Not long after the Officers had left came the shouts for 'Medic' Doc holding Fin back went to attend. Private Blithe had volunteered to check out the cabin, when he thought everything was ok, he turned to signal, but was shot in the collar bone. Fin was devastated for him, they were so close to getting back. Blithe's wound was serious but Fin knew it was possible he'd make it thanks to Docs first class care. It was just a shame that their campaign in Normandy had ended on that note.

..

England

Fin couldn't believe she was stepping onto British soil once again so soon, such a treat for her, as soon as they had arrived they all crashed out on their cots, sleeping through until the next day, exhausted. The next day was Fin's birthday, the best birthday seeing as though she was back home. Fin was twenty now and no one knew. Well it was possible Nix and Winters knew considering they would have read her military record, but they had been occupied with a war, so she doubted they would remember. That was fine by her though, she didn't want a fuss. The Officers had been billeted with some of the locals, while the rest of them were in barracks, again, that was just fine as they all relaxed a little more.

Fin made her way to the shower block, she was so looking forward to the luke warm water. Since the Easy lads prank on her, she always took her rain jacket, just in case as she could actually take it into the shower with her.

Fin stripped and stood under the water, never wanting to leave. The lads had gone off to spend some of their hard earned money, leaving her to enjoy her clean up in peace.

Fin's shower was disturbed by some muffled laughter. Stopping the water and pulling her towel round her, she peeped her head out of the curtain to see Luz standing there. "What are you doing?" Fin asked suspiciously.

"Not stealing your uniform, promise!" Luz smiled

"What is it then?" Fin questioned.

"Well we know it's your birthday Fin! Thought you could keep that from us!? We got you a present'"

"You boys are so sweet! Fin smiled "Could it have waited until I had got back to the barracks though?!"

"Not really because we know you'd probably not wear it"

"Wear what?! Fin eye balled Luz.

"This" he said holding up a black dress and shoes, putting them down and running out the block with Fin's uniform, before Fin could react. "It's either the dress or your raincoat and towel!" he shouted back laughing. 'Oh and we all got passes in honour of your birthday!"

Fin growled, she hadn't worn a dress since before she was enlisted, the only female clothing she had worn were her number ones. At least the dress was black, she wouldn't stand out too much.

Fin got out of the shower and inspected the dress, it was actually quite nice. It had a deep v-neck, long sleeves, knee length and in a fitted style. It would show off her every curve oh I wonder why they picked this one! She chuckled to herself. Fin put on the dress and shoes impressed that they got her size right and brushed her hair into a side parting, wearing it loose. She applied a little mascara, powder and red lipstick that she had in her wash bag. Well if she was going to dress up, she may as well do it properly! Fin sprayed the last drops of perfume she had been saving, it was her birthday and she didn't think she'd need it for anyou other occasion. Fin stepped out of the shower block to the Easy lads standing there wolf whistling on seeing her.

"She bloody looks like Lauren Bacall!" Bill exclaimed delighted

Fin curtsied in response, put her hand on her chest and thanked her audience, blowing them all a kiss. Fin then pressed her chin to her chest and raised eyes to look at the lads imitating Bacall's famous sultry pose. They whooped with joy, drawing the attention of Fox and Dog company soldiers. Fin laughed as Luz offered his arm, which Fin gladly took "let's go get drunk?" she asked him.

"You betcha!" he replied handing her a small box "this was on your pillow."

"Oh the dress was enough!" Fin pleaded.

"it's not from us doll, looks like someone else knows it's your birthday!"

Fin unlinked her arm with Luz and opened the box to find a beautiful, delicate gold bracelet with a celtic knot pendant dangling from it. Fin thought it was a good luck symbol if her knowledge served her right it's got to be from Eve she thought, they'd had many a conversation over Fin's obsession with luck. "Was there a note or anything?" Fin asked

"No" Luz replied helping Fin with the clasp. "Who do think it's from?"

"Eve, she's the only other one who would know it's my birthday"

"Do you think she's here?" Luz asked getting a little excited.

"Who knows! But I doubt it" Fin responded "Come boys are you going to get me to this pub or what?!"

...

The passes had been organised by Winters and Nix, therefore they had known it was her birthday. The Easy lads and Fin took over the pub, stretching out over several tables getting very drunk, not leaving much room for Fox and Dog soldiers, who seemed happy to join in the party.

The pub door opened and Tab walked in.

"Can't believe you lot didn't break me out of the hospital!" he exclaimed

"Tab!" Fin shouted running over and throwing her arms around him.

Tab winced a little but he definitely was not about to peel Fin off. Already a little drunk, Fin let go and held his face "So good to see you!" and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"How much have you had Fin?" Tab laughed.

"Not enough! Come on you've got some catching up to do, the night is young!" Fin grabbed Tabs hand and pulled him over to the table and handed him a drink "to Tab" she toasted and they all toasted Tabs return.

"She looks gorgeous!" Tab said leaning over to Shifty

"Watch this!" Bill said hearing Tab "Fin! Do Lauren Bacall"

Fin repeated the Bacall sultry pose.

"Bloody hell! That's really good!" Tab laughed.

"So Fin, you can sing, fight, heal, impersonate Lauren Bacall, anything you can't do?" Shifty asked

"Erm... I can't piss standing up!" Fin laughed, putting her hand over her mouth trying to stifle it.

"Shit Fin, don't talk like that, you're ruining the images I have of you in my head!" Bill laughed.

"She's been hanging around with us for too long, that's what that is!" Lip laughed.

"Come on Fin tell us a story about you!" Toye asked

"Ok, ok, you want to hear a story about me?" Fin asked to a show of nods "This is the story of how Cara Finney received the nasty scar on her thigh" Fin said standing up and pointing to her upper thigh"

Fin sat back down "Once upon a time Cara Finney was singing in a bar full of German SS Officers in Paris. One Officer had been eyeing her up all night, he was obviously attracted to her Arian good looks! Cara Finney eyed him up too, he had some information she needed. After her song had finished, Cara approached the officer and sat down on his lap as bold as brass, much to his delight. He started to squeeze her leg hinting that he wanted to take her back to his room. Cara being the fun time girl that she was obliged, letting him take her away from the bar. Inside the Officers room, Cara straddled him on the bed kissing him lightly on his face, asking him to impress her with stories of his war so far. The dumb SS Officer told Cara about some ack acks the German force had hidden by a bridge just outside of Paris. The officer then tried to undress Cara, but Cara didn't want to get undressed, so he started to force her, Cara didn't like to be forced, so Cara took out her big fuck off knife and plunged it into the Officer's stomach. Unfortunately, Cara didn't realise the officer had a big fuck off knife too and repeatedly stabbed Cara in the leg with it. The weakened Officer passed out allowing Cara to make her escape. Cara barely made it back to her superiors alive. Cara delivered the information and as a thank you, they demoted her for not following orders to sleep with the enemy..." Fin paused, then finished with "...and that lads is one for the grandchildren!"

The Easy lads sat there in silence. Bill was the first to start laughing and then one by one they all started laughing "You've got one fucked up mind Fin!" Lip laughed.

Fin laughed if only they knew!

"Ok! Birthday girl, get these down you" Luz said placing a line of shots on the table.

"All of them?!"

"Yes, come on girl you can do it!"

The Easy men started to chant, putting the pressure on Fin.

"Ok, Ok!" Fin laughed.

As Fin started her line of shots, knocking each one of them back, the pub door opened and in walked Winters, Nix, Speirs and Speirs' pretty red head, on his arm. "Shit! It's going to be one messy night!" Nix pointed at Fin drawing all their attention over to her as she was continuing her way down the line of shots, not spilling a drop.

"She looks incredible!" Winters observed shocked by his own admission of Fin.

Fin knocked back the last shot as the lads all cheered with Shifty picking her up in celebration.

"Do you think we should calm it down?" Winters asked turning to Nix

"Nah let them have their fun, where did Fin get the dress from?" Nix enquired.

"I'm assuming the men, I heard them asking around earlier today" Winters replied.

"They did very well choosing it!" Nix winked at Winters.

"Shall we take a seat gentlemen?" the red head asked snapping Speirs back into reality, he hadn't taken his eyes off the blonde since they had walked in, she had disappointedly observed.

Speirs pulled out a chair for his girl and walked to the bar to get the drinks in.

Luz was at the bar getting more drinks as Speirs strode up next to him. "I hope those are not all for Finney this time" he commanded without looking at Luz.

"Not all of them Sir" Luz said making a quick exit spilling a little as he hurriedly went back to the Easy table where the lads were trying to get Fin to drink a cocktail of spirits.

"If I drink that potion, I'm not going to be a lady afterwards!" Fin exclaimed laughing.

"That's fine by us!" Bill laughed.

"One of you better make sure I get back to the barracks in one piece!" Fin said pinching her nose and tasting the cocktail then pulling a face at how vile it was.

"FIN, FIN,FIN!" They all chanted being joined by Fox and Dog soldiers.

Speirs looked over disapproving, she was getting annihilated.

"Fin! Come here!" Nix shouted.

Fin looked up and wobbled over "Yes Sir"

"Happy birthday!" Nix smiled standing up and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "You look amazing!"

"Thank you Sir, not for much longer though if they keep feeding me those nasty shots!" Fin laughed.

"If you need rescuing, just say the word, I'll get you back in one piece!" Nix said sitting back down as Winters rose out of his seat also placing a kiss on Fin's cheek "Happy birthday" he said sweetly.

"Oh this is Edie, Speirs' sweetheart" Nix said introducing Fin.

Fin held out her hand absolutely gutted at the word sweetheart "Nice to meet you" Fin said smiling. Edie rose and shook her hand not saying a word before sitting back down again.

"Ok, I'm going to get back to the lads, thanks for the passes by the way Sirs!" Fin said turning around and almost crashing into Speirs holding several drinks. "Sorry Sir" Fin said looking up at him.

Speirs looked down at her she was breath taking "Happy birthday" he said gently.

"Thank you" Fin murmured

"Hey Captain Nixon Sir! Watch this!" a very drunk Luz said stumbling over.

"What?" Nix asked perplexed.

"Do it Fin! Do Bacall!" Luz slurred "Captain Nixon loves Bacall"

Speirs sat down curious.

"No! It's not that good Luz!" Fin protested

"It is, it is Sir!" Luz said turning to Nix.

"I order you to do Bacall, Fin!" Nix laughed

"Ok!" Fin pulled the sultry pose of Lauren Bacall once again and then quickly escaped back to the Easy boys before she got a response from the Officers.

"Fuck! I'm going to bed happy tonight!" Nix announced shaking his head and knocking back his drink.

Speirs wished she hadn't done that and hoped Edie hadn't seen the rapture that had etched across his face at Fin's impersonation.

"I hope you boys are making sure Fin has a good birthday" Winters said to Luz who was still standing over them.

"It's the other way round Sir, Fin's entertaining us with her made up stories!" Luz replied swaying a little.

"What stories?" Nix asked slightly worried that maybe she was drinking too much.

Winters and Speirs sat up straighter as Luz spoke.

"Reckons she's got this nasty scar on her leg" Luz started, pointing to his own leg to show where Fin said her scar was. "Told us this bullshit story about how she got it, fucking good story though Sir, one for the grandchildren Sir!" Luz turned to a loud cheer from the Easy boys and swayed back over to them.

Winters looked at Nix, whatever the story was they needed to find out before Speirs did.

...

"Will you dance with me?" Shifty asked Fin, she had been looking less happy since coming back from the Officers table, he bet it was Speirs, he always seemed to be giving her a hard time whenever he saw him talking to her in Normandy.

"Yes" Fin said smiling.

They walked to the dance floor and Shifty positioned Fin holding her around her waist with one hand and holding her other hand he pulled her in close so that she was facing his shoulder. "Are you ok? You've gone a bit quiet" he whispered in her ear.

"Yes I'm fine, think I need to drink more!" Fin teased.

Shifty swayed her gently around the floor, holding her tighter to the point where Fin laid her head on his shoulder. Shifty raised his eyebrows in delight as the Easy boys all looked on jealous. As they turned, Shifty caught the killer glare of Speirs he was one scary guy! Shifty thought turning so Fin was now in Speirs eye sight and not him.

Fin looked up as Shifty turned her and caught Speirs' gaze. He was staring. Fin held his stare, she had enough alcohol in her system to be bold. He was expressionless. He just stared. Look at your girlfriend not me.

Speirs couldn't take his eyes off Fin, since the first day he had seen her as she walked down to Sink's office in her uniform with Nix, impressing him with her reaction to the cat calls, he hadn't been able to get her out of his head. He had started dating Edie in the hope he could get his mind off Fin, but it hadn't worked. Edie was attractive, loyal and caring, he felt guilty that his thoughts lay with another woman. He had started dating Edie for the wrong reasons though and now he wondered if he could continue with Edie when his heart just wasn't in it. Fin was untouchable though, she was an NCO, a soldier. He wished he hadn't brought Edie out tonight.

"I'm just going to get some air" Fin said turning to Shifty

"Do you want some company?"

"No go get the drinks in I'll be back soon" Fin walked off the dance floor and through the door. She turned the corner to the same spot she had spoken to Speirs that time before Normandy. She took a deep breath, he's with someone else, move on!

"Finney"

Fin looked up to see Speirs. "Sir?"

Speirs moved within inches of her looking into her crystal clear blue eyes.

He stepped in closer still, lightly running his fingers down her hair, stroking her neck, moving down to the edge of her breasts, until he reached her waist, moving his hands round and pulling her in hard to his body. She looked up in ecstasy from his touch, he noticed the pinkish hue of her cheeks and he lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.

Moving his hands down, he scrunched up her dress. Pulling away, he lead her into a darker corner. Pushing her against the wall, he kissed her again moving his hands up the inside of her dress this time gently caressing her thighs before feeling her silky underwear, pulling at them. They slipped down her soft legs. He hastily undid his pants, picking her up, she wrapped her legs around him...

Ron Speirs sat bolt upright in bed panting heavily. Looking over to his right he saw the red hair of Edie sprayed out on her pillow. His encounter with Fin had been a dream.

Bitterly disappointed, Edie insisted on leaving the pub earlier than normal that evening, leaving him with the sight of Fin dancing on the tables with Guarnere and Powers.

He couldn't carry this charade on with Edie any more regardless of whether he could have Fin or not.

"Ron darling, are you ok?" Edie said rolling over and stroking her hand down his bare chiselled chest.

Speirs removed her hand "Edie, we need to talk..."
