"I knew you'd come back here," Angelo says, stepping through the front door. "You came home to me."

"Angelo, I came here to put an end to everything."

"I knew you felt the same way Charlie," he says, completely misunderstanding her. "We put an end to our life here and start anew but to do that, you are going to have to beg me to take you back after you forced me to watch you fucking that cunt on the beach."

Despite her situation, Charlie blushes with embarrassment at having been seen making love with Joey. "I'm not going to beg for anything Angelo."

"You will beg," he advances on her. "You don't have a choice Charlie, so get down on your knees."

Charlie screws her nose up in disgust when he starts unzipping his pants. "You always refused when I asked you to do it, but you were happy to go down on her Charlie, so now it's time you did the same for me."

Charlie shakes her head. "We're alone Charlie now get down on your fucking knees and beg."

Charlie stares him in the eye. "Did you actually think I would be stupid enough to come here alone?"

Angelo hesitates at her confidence. "You came to me Charlie."

"I told you I came here to put an end to everything and that is what I'm doing. You were recognised Angelo, even with that shitty disguise, Irene recognised you."

"You're lying, I haven't seen that old bat in ages."

"I guess after you got an eyeful of me with my lover, you weren't paying too much attention when you nearly ran Irene over with a car last night. Once we knew that you were definitely still in town, we set you up, made you come to us."

"You're lying! You love me Charlie, you've just let that whore poison you against me, with lie after lie about me."

"You're deranged Angelo and I've seen for myself what a monster you are. Joey has shown me the truth and she's shown me what love really is."

"Yeah well, your precious fucking Joey isn't here."

Charlie smiles, completely unnerving him. "I told you, I'm not alone. While you were following me here, the others were already here, just waiting for you to turn up."

On cue, Joey walks out of the bedroom. "Angelo Rosetta, you are under arrest."

"You can't stop me!"

"I beg to differ," Hugo says as he and Watson step out of the kitchen. Angelo backtracks to the front door, finding it cut off by Graves and Hogan. "In case you're wondering Rosey, there's officers outside too."

Angelo whirls on Charlie, "You fucking whore, you set me up."

"Of course I did so why don't you just give up Angelo."

He pulls his knife out, waving it at them. "You cunts are going to regret making a fool of me."

"You did that without our help," says Joey as she keeps a wary eye on the knife.

"I should have killed you on the boat you disgusting cunt dyke..." his rant is cut off when he falls unconscious to the floor, Watson's king hit taking him completely by surprise.

"Georgie!" Joey cries out in shock.

"What?" Watson shakes her hand, wincing slightly. "Did you want to keep listening to that shit?"

"Well no, but he wasn't exactly a threat."

"Not a threat, he had a knife."

"And we have guns and you're three months pregnant Georgie," Joey says angrily. "What the hell were you thinking getting so close!"

"He was distracted." Watson shrugs at her sister, "Plus, being pregnant just added a little extra weight to the punch." She looks down at Angelo. "I could have lost my baby because of him so I owed him that and if he claims police brutality, well, just blame my hormones."

While Graves handcuffs the unconscious Angelo, Hugo moves behind his fiancée, hugging her. "It's ok Georgie, it's over and no one will be hurting our baby."

"Get off me you whore, I'm innocent," Angelo complains, finally coming to.

"I doubt you even know what the word means," Graves says, making sure the cuffs were on as tight as possible.

"Oww, you fucking whore, that hurts."

"Gee, sorry," comes Graves' sarcastic reply. With Hogan's help, she gets him to his feet. "Be a good boy and give Hogan a reason to restrain you even more."

"Fuck you whore."

"You're going to jail for a long time Rosey, it should give you plenty of time to expand your vocabulary."

"Fuck...owww," Angelo complains when Hogan slaps the back of his head.

"Get him out of here, Hogan," orders Charlie. "And make sure everything is done by the book."

"Yes Sergeant."

The moment Angelo was out the door, Charlie was in Joey's arms.

"It's finally over."

Joey holds her tight, "I'm just glad the plan worked."

"I know you hated the idea of me being the bait, but we needed to draw him out."

Leaning back in her fiancé's arms, Watson smirks at her sister and friend. "The beach, huh?"

"Oh god," Charlie groans with renewed embarrassment, forgetting that everyone would have heard every single word.

"Seen any backseats lately?" Joey fires back at her sister.

"Hugo and I were teenagers, not a couple of adults who should have known better."

Graves glances between the couples, "What's this about teenagers and backseats?"

Watson glares at her sister, "Now see what you've done!"

"You started it."

After everything that had happened, Charlie suddenly found herself laughing at the sisters, which she suspected from their knowing grins, had been exactly what they'd wanted. "God, that trip is looking so good now," she says, her mood sobering

"Why don't I handle Rosey's interview, save you guys going back to the station tonight," Hugo offers. "It's probably best if you steer clear of him anyway."

"I don't want to see him again, at least not until the trial," admits Charlie.

"It's probably too late to get him transferred to another prison tonight, but I'll make sure it's done first thing in the morning." He kisses his fiancée goodbye, ordering her home to rest, pleased when she didn't argue for a change. He looks at Joey and Charlie, "I'll expect your request for leave sometime tomorrow."

Charlie nods, "Thanks Hugo."

"If anyone has deserved a break, it's the two of you." Giving his fiancée another kiss goodbye, he leaves the house.

"I guess that explains why there was sand everywhere this morning," Graves comments after Hugo had left, much to Charlie's continual embarrassment.

"Give it a rest, Graves."

"Yes boss," she says cheekily.

"Make yourself useful Graves and take my sister home." Joey smiles at her sister, "Georgie can explain about backseats."

"Joey," Watson starts before shaking her head. "Oh fuck it, I'm too bloody tired to argue."

Joey walks over, hugging her. "It's over Georgie, so you can start taking it easy."

Watson hugs her back, "Just try to stay out of trouble for awhile." She steps back, "I'll see you back at home."

"Speaking of home," Charlie says, "The realtor called just before I left work. As soon as the owner saw our names, he approved our application."

"My name usually has the opposite effect," Joey jokes, sliding her arms around Charlie. "Wow, our first home."

"You still want to do this, don't you?" Charlie asks nervously.

"Of course I do Charlie. I want this as much as you and even Harley's been chomping at the bit since I told her we were moving here."

"I bet you're glad you can finally bring her here safely."

"I have missed her so much."

"How does she feel about us?"

"She's not really used to seeing me with anyone other than her mother and she's really never seen us together as a couple but I'm sure it will be alright."

Charlie yawns suddenly. "God, I'm so tired. It's like now that it's all over, I just feel like curling up for a week and sleeping."

"I'm a little like that myself. I feel like everything that has kept me going, is leaving me and I'm just tired."

"Do you mind if we have an early night and just sleep?"

"Do you want to go home or stay here?"

Charlie looks around. "I never want to stay in my bed again, but there's the spare room."

"I'll let Georgie know we'll be staying."

After having a light tea, Charlie crawls into bed beside Joey. She'd barely rested her head on Joey's shoulder before she was asleep, Joey following a few minutes later.

There's going to be an extra couple of chapters more than I thought to go. Next Chapter, Joey gets some news about her career
