Normality?

Alesha slipped into the robes room as Kate pulled her wig out of its box. She knew her friend was dreading the Bail Hearing but it was something that had to be done.

"You shouldn't be here." Kate frowned. "You know the Bail Hearing isn't going to be eventful."

Alesha nodded. "I know."

"So? Don't you trust me and Jake?" Kate teased as Alesha folded her arms. "Hey. I'm joking. You know we are opposing bail."

"I know." Alesha took a deep breath. "I'm just hormonal. Ignore me."

"Never." Kate frowned. "Is everything alright? Matt, Cameron? Baby?"

Alesha bit her lip. "I could have lost him. I. It was too close this time. He was almost shot in the head before but this. Two inches left and it would have hit his neck." She avoided Kate's eyes. Her friend shook her head.

"But he's ok."

"Yeah." She nodded. "I'm being stupid."

"No you aren't. If it were Jake." She bit her lip. "If it were him then I'd be a mess." She hugged her friend as Alesha tried to forget what might have been.

"So." Natalie stared at the whiteboard as Joe walked towards her. "One dead ex detective, one estranged son with a grudge and a bloke about to enter a plea against a murder charge."

"Yeah." Joe nodded. "You think it was the son who shot at Ronnie?"

"I'm not a gambling woman and God only knows I could have shot him myself a few times but yeah. We just don't have the evidence or any leads." Natalie frowned. "Sam's running this. I should let you get on with it."

"Doesn't hurt to have an expert look at it for me." Sam smiled as he loosened his tie. Natalie rolled her eyes.

"Keep me informed." She turned before heading back to her office. Joe and Sam nodded, knowing that just because one suspect was off the streets, it didn't mean that case was over.

"Yes Guv." Sam sighed as he looked at the white board Angie had so carefully constructed.

Matt jogged up the stone steps to the court house knowing that Ronnie and the others would be in the building already. He also knew Kate and Jake would be annoyed that he was there. He didn't care, he had to speak to Ronnie and Alesha before it was too late.
