number and extension code. I assumed it was from a family member or friend that was coming to visit you. But they left no name or number for you to call back.”
     
    Jane sat there in silence for a few minutes letting her brain reel and trying to process the information. Trying to come up with an explanation for the message before she really began to panic or go into a melt down. The colour had obviously begun to drain from Jane’s face, as Jack had nothing but a look of concern on his face.
     
                  “Jane are you ok? Did I do something wrong? If it was a personal message that I wasn’t meant to know about I’m sorry. It hasn’t left these lips. And I didn’t delete the message. I left it on there in case you wanted to hear it. Its still on your answer phone.”
     
    Jane sat there wide eyed and bewildered for a few seconds longer when she then reached for her answer phone and pressed the play button.
     
    “I’m coming for you, see you soon Jane.”
     
    Jane shot up in cold fear as the sound of his voice filled the vicinity of the station she was in, the cold sneer in his voice as her name rolled of his tongue. Jane reached out to hold onto Jack’s arm as she felt herself going dizzy, the immobilizing fear and the bile that was rising in her stomach making black dots dance in front of her eyes.
     
                  “Detective, Boss, Jane I’m sorry who is it? What is wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?”
     
    To Jane’s relief Amy had already seen the commotion and was heading over with PC Ian Watson and PC Eric Stone in tow.
     
                  “Jane what’s wrong your as white as a sheet, come on sit down keep breathing nice and calm tell me what’s wrong? Has it got anything to do with Perry’s request this morning?”
     
    Jane managed to wrack out four words past the beating thrum of her heart and the fear wracking in her chest.
     
    “Play the message Jack.”
     
    The whole team went silent as the sound of his voice filled the room again. Jane couldn’t control it this time the bile rose to quickly. With the lack of sleep and now uncontrollable fear that was coursing through Jane’s body she ended up throwing up in her desk waste bin.
     
                  “Ok, Ok your safe. Don’t panic. He is in prison he cant hurt you or Layla just breathe we will fix this ok.”
     
                  “Amy what’s going on? You’re the only one that seems to understand. What do we need to fix?”
     
                  “That my friend’s was Thaddeus.”
     
    Ian, Eric and Jack all instantly reached for their firearms in a protective stance. Amy tried to comfort Jane as best as she could while trying to think of what to do when Jane managed to pull herself together enough to speak.
     
    “Jack can you ring through to the Superintendent please? Just ask him to come down here.”
     
                  “Yes Boss what shall I say?”
     
    “Just tell him the Detective has requested his presence at her desk as she has something there to show him. Amy would you mind I could really do with that cold drink now. Ian, Eric you can holster your weapons. Thaddeus is in prison there is no threat here.”
     
    In unison they both replied yes mam and put there firearms back at the clip on their waist but neither of them went to make a move from the protective stances they had made at either side of her. Amy had returned with a cold glass of water and was keeping a watchful eye on Jane. Jack came over. The superintendent had agreed to come down but he told Jack to make a note of the fact that he didn’t appreciate a phone call of summons. When he arrived at Jane’s desk he instantly spotted the sick and his nose turned up in disgust slightly. He was also eyeing the protective stances her team members had taken around her and was eyeing them with suspicious curiosity.
