“His car is here I’m telling you they are here somewhere Andrew!” Carmen snapped
“Carmen I have personally knocked on every door round about, Declan has a list of all the owners of the allotments we’re literally seeking permission to view them all”
“Have they spoken to Lucas’s again?” Carmen asked holding her leg
“You’re in pain” Andrew stated
“I’m fine…Look my brother in law has been missing for nearly 4 days now, my fiancée and best friend have been missing for 36 hours and absolutely nothing is being done…what is wrong with everyone!”
“They need to follow protocol don’t you think I’m pissed too!”
“There being negligent Andrew!” Carmen snapped “Take me to the station!”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea”
“Either you take me or I’ll walk, the choice is yours!” Carmen stated looking straight at Andrew

Carmen stormed into the station Andrew following right behind her…Declan and Kenzie looked at Andrew who threw his hands up in the air…Carmen stormed right into her sergeants office.
“Carmen hi…”
“Don’t hi me…What the hell is being done?” Carmen asked
“Take a seat”
“I don’t want a seat I want to know what’s being done to fine my family!”
“I’ve just authorised the dogs and divers”
“Divers?” Carmen asked confused
“Yeah it’s procedure!”
“The dogs need to be down at the allotments” Carmen stated
“I’m well aware of that, that is our prime area however I have them over at Bette and Tina’s just now to get scents”
“Why has it took you this damn long…This is my family” Carmen asked
“Carmen I sympathise I really do but I need to follow the correct protocol!”
“Mason is 12, Jess is epileptic did you know this?”
“Carmen”
“Save it I don’t want to hear your excuses” Carmen left the office
“Where to now?” Andrew asked
“The allotments the dogs are heading there in the next hour” Carmen stated
“We’ll come too” Declan said
“Don’t strain yourself why don’t you sit on your arse like the rest of them idiots!” Carmen snapped leaving the office
Andrew and Carmen pulled up at the Allotments, Bette, Lee and Mark were working their way through them with a crow bar and bolt cutters.
“Oh dear lord!” Andrew said getting out the car “Guys you can’t do this you will get charged!”
Carmen stopped and looked at Andrew “Who’s side are you on?”
“I’m a police officer I’m in uniform…So are you?” Andrew snapped running his hands through his hair
“I’m on leave!” Carmen said lifting a torch from Bette’s bag of supplies
“Look I’ve ran out of patience with the police department I’ve played by the rules, I’m passed that now…my son and daughter are on the line and my son in law”
“Give me the crow bar” Andrew sighed holding out his hand
