Hey guys! It's taken me a while but I've finally added the next chapter! Thanks for all your reviews, hope you enjoy! :) x

The Inspector decided to give Rebecca and Cameron the rest of the day off so when Rebecca finished giving her report, she changed into jeans and a pink hoodie before making her way towards the staff canteen where she knew Cameron was waiting for her. When Cameron saw Rebecca walk through the staff room doors, he finished up the remains of his coffee before leaving the station with Rebecca.

"Oh Smithy, I've sent PC's Jones and Tait home, I'm just going to type up their reports"

"Marm..." Smithy called after the Inspector and continuing once she'd turned around to face him.

"How long ago did Bec...um PC Jones leave?"

Gina Gold replied
"About five minutes ago" before walking down the corridor and out of sight.

With that, Smithy pulled his office door shut and rushed off in the direction of the front office.

"Oh hey you two, I heard what happened! Are you both okay?" Robbie asked her two friends as they walked into the front office area of the station.

As it was quiet, Cameron and Rebecca had a few minutes to fill their friend in about the incident and Robbie listened carefully, generally concerned about the situation her two friends had been put in.

"Oh guys, I'm, sorry. I'm here if either of you wanna talk about it ok?"

Cameron thanked Robbie while Rebecca reached over the front desk to give her a hug. Cameron then came to the conclusion that a drink was in order before going home so both him and Rebecca decided to head to the local pub. Robbie waved goodbye to both her friends as they walked through the front door and out into the cold.

"Robbie, have you seen Rebecca?" Smithy asked his friend who was still sitting behind the front desk.

Robbie looked up at the sergeant, pointed to the front door and replied

"She just left with Cameron, less than a minute ago!"

As soon as Robbie finished her sentence, Smithy dashed out into the front yard and looked around for a few minutes before his eyes stopped when he spotted what he was looking for. Rebecca and Cameron were getting in a taxi together across the road from the station. A feeling suddenly came over Smithy but he couldn't explain it. He felt a little jealous that it was Cameron in the taxi with Rebecca and not him. He felt as though he wanted to protect Rebecca and keep her safe, even though they'd only known each other for three days. For some reason, she reminded Smithy so much of Kerry and wondered if that's why he felt something for her. The taxi started to drive away so the sergeant made a quick decision. Racing towards his car which was parked in the corner of the car park, Smithy pulled the keys from his pocket, jumped in and followed the taxi down the road, making sure there were enough cars in between so Rebecca and Cameron didn't notice him following.

Five minutes later, Smithy watched, full of jealousy, as the two officers stepped of the taxi and into the Canley Arms pub. Smithy didn't know what to do next. He didn't even know why he was sitting outside the pub when there was loads of paperwork to do back at the station. However, Smithy wanted to find out if there was anything going on between Rebecca and Cameron but he didn't think of simply asking like a normal person. So, he switched on the radio and got comfy in his seat, waiting for Rebecca and Cameron to leave the pub. What was he going to do then? He didn't have a clue.

"G'day mate, a pint and a white wine please" stated Cameron as he ordered in the first round.

Once he had received the drinks, Cameron thanked the barmaid before joining Rebecca at the table she was sitting by. Rebecca thanked Cameron for her wine and for a few minutes, there was a silence between them before she took a deep breath and made an announcement.

"Me and Smithy...we kissed"

Cameron nearly choked on his drink.

"How did that happen? You've only known him for a few days. This I have to hear!"

Cameron's response shocked Rebecca as he'd said it in quite a sharp tone. Cameron noticed Rebecca's eyes filling up with tears and realised how harsh he'd just sounded. Moving himself next to his female friend, Cameron spoke again.

"I'm sorry, I'm listening. You and Smithy kissed..."

Rebecca wiped tears from her eyes, looked at Cameron, took a deep breath and tried again.

"When you were giving your report to Gold, Smithy took me in his office to wait. He asked me if I was okay and...I didn't know what to say. I really wanted to tell him everything and I nearly did Cam, but I was too scared of blowing the whole thing and everyone finding out too soon. Then, we just...kissed"

Cameron sighed sympathetically and held Rebecca's hand tight as she wiped away more tears from her cheek.

"What exactly was you gonna tell him Bec? I don't think it's a good idea to tell him anything, it's too dangerous. If...you know who finds out, what's saying he's not gonna hurt you? You know for yourself what he's like!"

Rebecca looked at Cameron, bit her lip to stop herself crying again and replied

"I know but, at the time if felt right to tell him. I was gonna tell him everything Cam, the truth, about Kerry and...him. Gabriel"

"You've been listening to me, the wonderful Scott Mills here on Radio 1. Miss Fern Cotton is here waiting to take over from me so guys, tune in again tomorrow to hear me. See ya!"

Smithy turned off the radio and sighed. An hour had passed since Rebecca and Cameron had gone into the pub and there was still no sign of them leaving. Looking over to the passenger seat, Smithy noticed Gina Gold's name flashing on his phone for the seventh time since he'd left the station. Maybe she was wondering where the Sergeant had disappeared to but he had no interest in returning to the station when his mind was so fixed on Rebecca.

Just a few minutes later, the two officers left the pub and got into a taxi which had just pulled up outside. Smithy quickly ducked down in his seat as the taxi drove past him but he followed it closely after doing a 3-point-turn in the road. A few minutes after following the taxi, Smithy started to recognise certain streets and then remembered exactly where Rebecca lived. Five minutes later, the taxi pulled up outside a small house in Myatt Street and both Rebecca and Cameron stepped out. Smithy watched jealously as Cameron followed Rebecca into the house, shutting the door behind him. He then spotted Cameron's figure drawing the curtains in the front bay window. Feeling a mixture of emotions, Smithy pushed his foot onto the pedal and drove back down the street in the direction of the station.

"Ah Sergeant Smith, do you care to explain where you have been for the last hour and a half?"

Not even bothering to look at the Inspector, Smithy snapped back

"Not really!" and walked into his office.

Almost instantly, Gina Gold shouted

"Smithy!"

Smithy rolled his eyes and turned around to find an angry looking Inspector standing in the doorway of his office.

"Look Gina, I had some...personal things to do okay and no, I don't want to talk about it. I'm gonna do some of this paperwork, then have a few drinks in the pub. Is that ok with you?"

Gina could see that something was bothering the young Sergeant but just as she was about to try and find out, DS Samantha Nixon knocked on the office door before entering the room.

"Oh Gina, sorry to disturb, may I have a quick word with you?"

Gina left the room leaving Smithy sitting on the black desk chair. Leaning forward, he placed his head onto the desk and closed his eyes. Instantly, a vision appeared before him.

He was standing in the front yard of the station but except for two people buying food from the burger cart, there was no one else around. That was until he saw a taxi pull up and a blonde girl wearing blue jeans, a pink top and a black leather jacket step out. Smithy's eyes widened in shock when he realised who it was. It was Kerry. Just as Smithy was about to shout out to the love of his life, he spotted someone else. Himself. He looked on as the two officers walked towards each other, both with huge smiles on their faces.

"My Dad he's gonna be okay"
"Yeah, I know"

"I made a promise to myself if he lived. There are things I know; things that are going to mean big changes for a lot of people here. I'm going to go see Inspector Gold"

"The information on Gabriel"
"It's not that it's more than that, much more"
"I don't care! I don't care about anything else except..."
"Nor do I. Smithy... I love you"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"

As soon as Kerry got shot in the back, Smithy jumped up from his desk, sweating and in a state of shock. He had just relived the moment when the love of his life got shot and collapsed in his arms but this time he'd been an onlooker.

Why had that terrible memory appeared?

Was it because the first anniversary of Kerry's death was approaching?

Or maybe it was because he'd kissed Rebecca.

The young Sergeant suddenly got overcome with confusion and decided there was only one way to make himself feel better. Smithy stood up and made his way towards the locker room, exiting just a few minutes later wearing blue jeans accompanied by a plain white top and a brown striped jacket. He made his way out of the station and towards the taxi rank opposite where a taxi driver named Alan took him to the Canley Arms pub. Once there, Smithy tried to drown out his emotions by drinking pint after pint. He didn't care that he was on his own, the Sergeant just wanted to clear his head of all the confusion. Forty five minutes later, the off duty office drunkenly stepped out of the pub doors and headed towards one of the waiting taxi's parked up outside. Smithy ordered the taxi driver to take him to the local food place where he bought food before jumping back into the taxi and arriving home shortly after. Once inside his flat, Smithy sat on the black leather sofa in his living room and stuffed his face with a meaty kebab along with French fried chips. Ten minutes later Smithy stumbled into his bed room and fell, fully clothed, onto the king sized bed. As his eyes flickered, another vision appeared before him. There was an angel like figure floating in front of him and as Smithy fell asleep, he smiled as he realized the angel was his beloved Kerry.
