"So, this is the famous Jasmine Allen estate is it Serge?" Rebecca asked her sergeant as they patrolled around the shabby, rough looking council estate.

Smithy looked at his new colleague walking beside him, and sighed before replying

"Yeah, this is it. I hate this place. This estate is so much trouble and 'as got all sorts of problems; gang crime, gun crime, theft and of course, major drugs problems. In a weird way though, it's kind of nice to be called here just for a graffiti problem instead of seeing another person's life get taken away from them".

Before Rebecca had a chance to say anything back, the high pitched sound of a woman screaming was heard. Rebecca quickly glanced around to see if she could see anyone while Smithy looked up towards the floors of flats. As he did, something caught his eye. He could see two people standing on a balcony about six floors up but before he had a chance to even think, a huge black television screen was hurled over the side. Smithy's eyes widened

"Watch out!" he screamed as he raced towards Rebecca, pushing her out of the way with such force that they both landed on the solid ground with a thud. As Rebecca looked up to see what had happened, the television crashed onto the ground, narrowly missing them. Both officers looked up to see a brown curly haired woman looking down on them from the flats before she disappeared.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Smithy asked his PC as he reached out his hand to offer her a help up.

Rebecca took his hand and let him help her up before she replied to him saying

"I'm bruised but alive. I'm less squished than I would have been if that tele had fallen on me. Thanks for pushing me out the way Serge!"

Smithy smiled, looked deeply into Rebecca's eyes and whispered 'anytime'. As Smithy stood there looking at her that same feeling of familiarity that he'd felt back at the station came flooding back, but he just couldn't put his finger on it. For a few seconds, they just stood there until he realised he was still holding her hand. Smithy let go and both officers ran towards a door, rushing up the flights of stairs towards the floor where the tele had been dropped from. As Smithy pulled open the door to step onto the sixth floor balcony, the brown curly haired woman ran into him shouting

"Quick please, he's gonna hurt my daughter! She's in the park down there, hurry!"

All three of them spun around and bolted back down the stairs, making their way towards the children's park just outside.

"Ruby!" The brown haired mother yelled out tearfully as she spotted her daughter in the park with the man standing right next to her. She was just about to run over to her little girl when Smithy noticed the man had a weapon in his hand and stopped the woman from moving. He told Rebecca to stay with the mum before slowly and carefully making his way towards the man. Smithy pushed open the silver metal gate before speaking to him.

"Come on mate, don't do anything stupid. She's a child. It wouldn't be a good idea to hurt her!"

Smithy glanced at the little girl before adding

"Just let her come to me and I can pass her to her mum, then me and you can talk yeah?"

Without waiting for an answer from the man, Smithy proceeded to walk towards him until the guy started yelling.

"STOP! Don't come any closer, I have a knife!"

Smithy took a step backwards until he glanced over at the little girl and noticed she'd started crying. Getting angry, Smithy shouted out

"Don't hurt her! Look at her, she's scared and crying. Let her go to her mum and take me instead!"

There was silence for a few seconds before the man nodded. Smithy turned his head slightly and motioned with his hand for Rebecca and the mum to come closer.

One he saw that they were close enough to him; Smithy turned his attention to the little girl

"Okay Ruby, darling, when I say the number 3, you're gonna run to your mummy okay?"

He then turned his attention back to the man and started counting

"One...Two...THREE!"

With that, the little girl ran straight to her mum, who picked her up and hugged her tightly.

As soon as the little girl started running, Smithy dashed towards the man, intending to hit him to the floor with his asp. However, the man somehow managed to grab the asp from Smithy and used it to hit him before pushing him to the floor. As Smithy fell to the floor, he hit his head on the top of the silver metal gate & by the time he'd reached the floor, he was out cold.

"Smithy!" Rebecca screamed before running over to her sergeant.

As she turned him over, Rebecca realised that he was out cold so turned her attention to the man, who was still standing nearby. As she turned to look at him, he looked back at her before making a break for it. Jumping up from the floor, Rebecca quickly called to the mum and little Ruby for them to stay where they were, before she darted out of the play park and across the car park to catch the man. The young PC was doing a good job of keeping up him but he was just out of reach for her to grab him. She chased the man out of the car park and onto a large patch of grass which was shaded by trees. Without realising, the man had blocked himself in as there was a high fence all the way around. The only way out was to turn around and go past Rebecca. He turned around to see her walking towards him and knew he'd have to run but as soon as he started to, Rebecca stood in front of him. Panicking, the man pulled out the knife from his back pocket and plunged it into Rebecca before pulling it back out and legging it. Instantly, Rebecca fell to the ground in silence.


Smithy opened his eyes and, holding his head, slowly got up from the tarmac ground. Looking around, he spotted the mum & little Ruby sitting on the brown wooden bench in the park. He walked over to them and asked if they were alright. Just then, it clicked that Rebecca wasn't with them and he asked the mum where she was. The woman explained that after Smithy had been knocked to the floor, his female colleague had rushed over to see if he was alright then the man (who the brown haired woman explained was her violent ex boyfriend Carl) bolted off so the young PC had scampered after him. Smithy ordered both mum and daughter to remain where they were until he returned and he sprinted off to find Rebecca. As he made his way across the Jasmine Allen car park, Smithy put out a call on his radio for Rebecca.

"Sierra Oscar 202 from 54, where are you? Over".

"Sierra Oscar 202 from 54, where are you? Over" he repeated but there was still no reply.

Smithy stood still and glanced around for a few moments to see if he could spot his colleague.

"Rebecca? Rebecca?" he called out.

He continued to walk around and was about to put out a third call when he spotted Rebecca lying on the grassy ground.

"BEC!" Smithy shouted before racing over to her, kneeling down beside her, spotting the blood and realising what had happened.

"Sierra Oscar from 54, ambulance required to the enclosure on the Jasmine Allen estate, PC Jones has been stabbed!"
