'Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep'

Rebecca rolled over and turned off her alarm. Glancing at the clock, she noticed the time: 5:45am.

Most of the uniformed officers had been put down to start their shift at 7am that day so they could try and cram in some extra work to make up for the time they'd spend at former PC Kerry Young's memorial. As Rebecca lay awake in her bed, she thought about the emotional day ahead but hoped that it would so smoothly. Five minutes later, the blonde wrapped herself in a fluffy pink dressing gown, slipped her cold toes into a pair of matching slippers and headed into the kitchen to make breakfast which consisted of a bowl of cornflakes, two rounds of buttery toast and a glass of fresh orange juice. Thirty minutes later, the young PC was showered, dressed and ready to go. Just before leaving her house, Rebecca looked at the large blown up photo on her living room and, shutting her eyes, remembered the night it was taken. A few minutes later, after wiping tears from her eyes, Rebecca left the house and headed for the station to start her early morning shift.


Smithy threw his West Ham pyjama top into the wash pile before jumping under the hot shower water and pulling the door shut behind him. He'd hardly slept that night so wasn't feeling the best. On top of that, today was Kerry's memorial and that was one thing the young Sergeant wasn't looking forward to as it was going to bring back all his pain and heartache. He was planning on talking to Rebecca or Cameron before the memorial started to try and get some answers from them. By the time Smithy stepped out of the shower, the bathroom was all steamed up and after glancing at the clock, he realised he was running late. Not a good start to the day and Smithy realised, it was only going to get worse from here on in.


"G'day Ems, feeling unwell are you sweetie? Ok well you just cuddle up with Mummy and I'll come see you after work okay? Love you too baby, bye!"

Cameron hung up the phone after talking to his daughter and got ready for work. He wasn't looking forward to the day ahead for two reasons. One, it was Kerry's memorial service and it was bound to bring back memories of his ex girlfriend and two, it was going to be hard to see how Rebecca handled it. Would she cry or hold in her tears? Would she talk to George Young, or would that be too suspicious? Whatever happened, Cameron just hoped the day would go smoothly and no problems would occur. After watching a bit of the news, the Aussie left his flat, popped in his iPod and started the short walk to the station.


"Okay now I know you're all starting a little earlier than usual and I want to thank you all for being so understanding. Now, obviously there's work to be done but if the majority of you could be in the front yard by 11:50am, the memorial service will start at 12. Okay, the pairings are the same as..."

Gina stopped, looked at the rota sheet and glanced over at Smithy before continuing.

"Same as yesterday except, PC Kent, you're going to be staying here at the station today to help CID with their huge pile of paperwork. PC Tait, you're going to be with PC Stamp before PC Hollis is at a doctor's appointment but will be returning for the memorial later. Oh and PC Jones, you're helping out in CAD today because they're short. Okay? Off you go and hopefully see most of you at 12"

Once everyone had left the room, Gina turned to Smithy who was standing at the front, trying not to make eye contact with her.
"Um Sergeant Smith, on who's authority did you change the rota?"

Smithy turned to look at her, replying

"No one's Marm"

Gina looked at Smithy with raised eyebrows, waiting for him to extend his answer.

"Look Gina, there's something I think you need to know"

With that, Smithy walked over to the door, closed it and took a deep breath before telling Gina everything that Yvonne had told him the day before.


Ten minutes later, Smithy walked out of the briefing room, leaving Inspector Gold standing there, shocked at what she'd just been told. Smithy headed towards CAD where he was determined to speak to Rebecca and find out exactly what was going on. However, he walked in and realised exactly how busy it was so decided to leave it and return a short time later. So, Smithy turned and headed towards his office to do yet more paperwork.


Two and a half hours passed and Smithy decided it was time to talk to Rebecca but as he walked into CAD, there was someone else sitting in her place, who informed the Sergeant she'd gone for a quick break. So, for the second time that morning, Smithy failed to find out any information and time was ticking. It was now 9:30 and the memorial was starting in a few hours.


It was 11:30am when Smithy finally managed to track Rebecca down. Walking into CAD, he politely greeted the other CAD officers before making a bee line for Rebecca who was sitting in the corner. Smithy bent down at the side of Rebecca and waited for her to finish putting a call out.

"Hey Serge"

Smithy smiled as she looked deep into his emerald green eyes.

"Hey Bec, are you okay?"

Rebecca nodded and Smithy whispered so that only she could hear him

"Erm listen, I need to talk to you as soon as, it's quite important. Can you come to my office in five?"

Once again, Rebecca nodded and as she smiled, Smithy couldn't help but realise how attracted he was to her. Standing up, he left CAD and headed for his office, wondering how the chat with Rebecca was going to go.


"Bec!"

Rebecca turned around to find Cameron jogging down the corridor towards her.
"Hey, how you feeling?" he asked his blonde friend.

Rebecca nodded but knew she hadn't convinced Cameron, so replied

"I don't...really know how to feel. I mean obviously, I just wanna break down in tears but, I don't want anyone to get suspicious. My heads all over the place and I can't even remember the words to this song I'm supposed to be singing! On top of that, Smithy just told me he wants to see me in his office. You, you've not told him anything have you Cam?"

Cameron shook his head but before he could say anything else, Smithy's voice was heard.

"PC Jones..."

"Sorry Serge, I'm on my way"

Smithy walked towards them and stopped. He folded his arms, looked at the both of them and took a deep breath. Cameron and Rebecca instantly knew something was up and glanced at each other.

"Erm...you two had a conversation yesterday in the female toilet's..."

Cameron grinned

"Yeah sorry Serge, I know I shouldn't have been in there. Won't happen again"

Smithy shook his head and lowered his voice.

"It's not that. It's more about what was said? Someone, I'm not gonna say who but, someone overheard you two talking and came to tell me. I've put two and two together and think I know who you were talking about, but I need to clear it up with you?"

Cameron glanced at Rebecca who looked as though she was about to burst into tears. For a moment there was a silence as neither PC knew what to say or do, until Rebecca took a deep breath.

"Serge I..."
"PC Jones"

All three officers turned around to see the Inspector quick walking towards them.

"Do you still want to sing your song for Kerry?"

Rebecca tearfully nodded

"Okay well the memorial's due to start in fifteen minutes so I need you to go outside to get ready. Superintendant O'Karo is waiting for you."

Rebecca looked at Cameron and Smithy before walking down the corridor and heading out into the front yard. Smithy and Cameron looked at each other awkwardly before Cameron realised what he needed to do.
"Marm, Serge, I think there's something you need to know!"

Without saying anything, Smithy led Gina and Cameron into his office and shut the door behind then. Smithy stood by the wall with his arms folded, Gina sat on his chair and Cameron stood with his back against the door. Taking a deep breath, he started explaining the situation.

"It's about Rebecca. She's um...she's not who everyone thinks she is. I'm worried she'll end up getting hurt"

Smithy and Gina exchanged a look of confusion before Gina asked

"What do you mean?"

Having second thoughts about what do to, Cameron exclaimed

"She'll go mad if she finds out I've told you so, maybe we should forget it..."

Smithy raised his voice

"No, you tell us NOW PC Tait, what's going on?"

There was no way out of this now; Cameron had to tell Smithy and Gina exactly what was going on.

"Rebecca's Uncle is the Chief Superintendent of New Scotland Yard. Gabriel...Gabriel raped Kerry and a few weeks after she confided in Rebecca who then went straight and told her uncle. With a bit of digging, they found out some other stuff about Kent so her Uncle decided to put Rebecca into the station undercover, but she refused. That same day, Rebecca had an interview in one of the new roof top offices across the road. The manager is a friend of her Uncle's so he went along with her. Rebecca only told me this a few days ago"

Cameron turned to look at Smithy, who was standing with a look of shock on his face and tears in his eyes but Cameron knew it was about to get much worse.
"Serge...do you want me to carry on?"

Smithy nodded and Cameron continued

"Rebecca went for an interview in one of the roof top officers across the road, accompanied by her Uncle. The manager was showing them around when they spotted someone on the roof. The next thing they knew, there were gun shots and the manager evacuated the office. As the guy on the roof turned to run, both Rebecca and her Uncle recognised him, so for a good reason, left him get away. They both raced over to where he'd been standing and...saw the front yard of this place. Serge,

Rebecca watched as Kerry lay dying in your arms"

Cameron took a deep breath, but wasn't finished yet.

"A few weeks later, Chief Superintendent Roberts enrolled Rebecca onto a quick course at Hendon then, came here to speak to the Super. After explaining everything to him, Rebecca was given a place here so she could nail him for what he did and get revenge..."

Smithy wiped a tear from his eye and cleared his throat before asking

"He? Who's he?"

Cameron looked Smithy straight in the eyes and tried not to cry.

"Smithy, I'm sorry. Rebecca's here to nail Kerry's killer. She's here to nail Gabriel Kent"

The look on Smithy's face turned to the look of pure anger as he felt the rage build up inside of him. He tried to push Cameron out of the way to get to the door but Cameron stopped him by shouting

"Smithy wait, wait! There's something else. Rebecca. There's a reason why she was the one put in here to nail him. Her name's not really Rebecca Jones...its Rebecca Young. She's Kerry's sister!"

There was silence.

"I knew who Rebecca was but, I only found out the rest a few days ago and apart from me, the Superintendant and the Chief Super, no one else knows everything. Gabriel can NOT find out! If he does, then Rebecca will be in serious danger! If he can rape and kill Kerry, what's stopping him from doing the same to Rebecca?"

Gina and Cameron looked over at Smithy who was standing with his back to them both. After a few moments of silence, the Sergeant finally turned round and wiped the flowing tears from his face.

"So, erm, we...we need to get this...Kerry's memorial done then, we can talk to Becca"

With that, the three of officers walked in silence down the corridor's and out into the front yard for Kerry's memorial service.
