William awoke the next morning to find his bed empty and all traces of Julia gone. He looked at his pocket watch which resided on the bedside table next to him and saw that it was only 6:45. He rolled back over and stared at the ceiling and let his thoughts wander. He felt so stupid. He had pushed her away in such a vulnerable moment. He had taken the situation that way and then stranded her at the peak. He reluctantly pulled himself out of bed and slowly pulled himself upwards the bathroom to get washed and dressed for the day. By the time that it was 7:15 he was already downstairs putting on his suit jacket and hat.

'No breakfast William?' said from behind him. 'No, thankyou , I'm not hungry, I'm feeling a little nauseous this morning.' He chose to ignore the worrying frown that was forming on her face and headed towards the door, knowing full well the tight knot in his stomach was nothing to do with nausousness. He gently pushed his bike out toward the road and clambered on, the heat from the sun already making him warm through in his black suit. He arrived at work to see it was almost empty, all except a few constables that were quietly working at their desks. He walked through the station wish a gentle 'Good Morning' to those he passed. He entered his office and immediately the memory of Julia sat on his desk shirt un-done, flustered and eyes full of lust completely barraged his mind. He blinked the memory away and sat behind his desk feeling more tired than ever.

He began to flick through the paperwork that had been placed on his desk, finger prints, case files, prisoner records to sign. He carefully separated all the separate documents and started the monotonous work of signing,dating, checking and filling all the necessary paperwork. By the time he had finished the clock was showing 20 past 9. Julia should be in the morgue around 9:30. He debated with himself to go over there and meet her before she began any work, although there had been no murders or deaths this week so there would be no post-mortems booked. He sat back behind his desk and toyed with his thoughts until the clock struck 9.30. He decided he would go and meet Julia and attempt to explain his actions from the night before.

He walked into the main area of the station but before he had even made 5 foot from the office, George came skidding into the station, and William halted in his tracks for some explanation. 'Sir!, you must come, he blurted out between gasps of air.'
'George-what on earth-' William said raising an eyebrow. 'There's a man-ontop of the bank-we think, he will jump!-' he finally got out, with that William and George tore from the station grabbing and jumping onto their bikes as fast as they could. When they arrived at the bank William could see the situation had gone from bad to worse, there was a man stood on the second story roof of the bank and there was a small crowd of at least 20 people now gathered beneath, George swiftly began to move everyone back from directly underneath where the man could fall, the last thing they wanted was more than one casualty. William moved a little closer to the man and looked directly up at his face. It was tear-streaked and pained.

'What is you name sir?' William yelled up at the man. 'D-Darcy-G-Grey!' the man yelled back through sobs. 'Please step away from the edge sir, what ever has happened, we can surely sort this out, come down and we will help you!' 'NO! The man screamed back, I am not good enough for her, so I am not good enough for this world! The sobs that racked his body almost bent him in two, sending himself ever closer to the edge. Before William could even mutter another word, a woman yelled out behind him. 'Darcy...? Darcy what are you doing?' a young brunette with bright green eyes and a tanned complexion came up from behind William, guessing that she knew the man, he let her pass further in front of him. 'Ava..' the man above them croaked out. 'Darcy, please come down, we can talk about this...please..the woman words became thick and William could see the tears streaming down her face.

The roaring sobs that were still emulating from the man were pulling more and more on his heart strings. That was it. He had to save this man. It was not enough seeing it end like this. He began to move away from the crowd and into the bank itself, and ran to the stairs, he threw himself up them as fast as he could, past the first floor and past the second until he threw himself through the door leading to the roof. The man heard the commotion behind him and immediately whipped round. 'D-Don't come any closer..!' he half sobbed at William, the empty bottles at his feet made it clear that he had been drinking, copiously. William held his hands out in a gesture he hoped would show surrender to the man. 'Darcy..I've just come to talk to you..thats all...what happened-tell me what happened...?' he turned back away from William, who in turn took his chance to edge a little closer. The man was just looking down into the crowd presumably into the face of the woman who had broken his heart. He turned back to William, and let a sad smile grace his face and then said quietly back to William, said- 'she never came...sh-she never came...' and with that he was gone.

William knew he would never get that final look from his face out of his mind. The pain that tore through him finally taking his life. Before William knew what he was doing he was scrabbling tissues the edge, in some kind of desperate hope to save the love-lorn man. But it was to late. William gazed upon the fate that had met the man at the bottom of the building. The woman he had just died for was screaming and fighting against George and another constable to run to the man, and then there was a face in the crowd that put it all it to horrifying perspective...Julia. She wasn't looking at the broken body now strewn across the pavement but up at William, and her face said it all. They both remembered, almost a year back..when someone else was in Darcy Greys shoes...
