NOTHING FEELS THE SAME

Chapter 10

"You ready then?" It was afternoon and they were heading to the police station. Gary had been to have a shower and changed into his 'to be seen in public clothes' not the usual blazer, everything he put on seemed irritate him so he settled for his burgundy shirt and cream chinos.

He knew that everyone knew. There had been photos of Sam helping him out of the car on tv and on the Internet. Then there were pictures of Sam getting a bag with the hospitals logo on it out of the car.They must of been taken from outside the gates so he knew there would be paparazzi looking out for him.

They walked out to the car and Sam got behind the drives seat. Gary winced as he lowered himself onto the passenger seat. Sam reached over and rubbed his knee as she started the car up. As expected when they drove out they were blinded by flashing cameras.

When they reached the police station there were more waiting for them. Sam drove around the block and parked in an alley. "Sam, I don't like this, can we please park somewhere else" "hang on a sec" she pulled out her phone and called the police. "Hi it's Sam Rigby, would you mind if I spoke to DCI Leslie?" "That's fine Miss Rigby, she's been expecting you, I'll just put you through" a few seconds passed "Miss Rigby, DCI Leslie here, how can I help you?" "Well I'm bring in Gary now and there are masses of paparazzi out the front, do you think you could move them or get us in another way?"

"SAM! Get us out of here!" Gary started yelling beside her. She looked over to him and saw how scared he looked, "Ok Gary, just hold my phone on speaker for me please?" He grabbed it with shaking hands.

"Are you still there Miss?" "Yep I'm here, what's the plan?" "I've got you cleared to go in the back, do you know where that is?" "Ummm, yea think so." "Okay, there will be an officer there and you will need to show him some ID, when your in park where you like. I will be their to meet you. But I suggest you hurry before anyone thinks you might come in that way"

Just as the office finished checking her ID and let her in a few photographers showed up. She sighed as she parked and ran around to the other side of the car. Gary got out and she locked the door. "I'm sorry about before, I didn't really think" she rubbed his face "s'ok, I over reacted" "No Gary you didn't, I was stupid I-" "Can we please just go in and get this over with so I can go home?" He interrupted her. "Sorry, ok" she kisses his cheek took his hand and lead him to the door.

DCI Leslie met them and escorted them into a nice quiet room. Everyone they walked past gave then sympathy looks, it drove them insane.

"How are you Mr Barlow?" "Gary, please, and I'm doing a lot better now" "Sorry Gary, if we are on a first name basis I insist you call me Maddie, and I'm glad to hear your doing better." "And you Miss Rigby, how are you, I know hearing it happen must of been tough, are you alright?" "Please, Sam is fine. I could be doing better, Gary is doing much better than me"

Maddie slid a piece of paper across to Sam "This is the number for the therapist we use on these type of cases, I've filled them in on your case and told them to expect your call. I recommend this for both of you" "Thankyou" Sam tucked the paper in her bag.

"Ok so the reason we have you here is because our guys have been watching footage of the studio and surroundings watching for regulars. Now other than you, Mr's Williams and Owen we have counted 23 people who were there often. 12 were only there in passing so that makes it 11. We have their photos here to look through. If you know them or might have seen them before please let us know"

Gary picked up the folder passed to him "You alright babe?" Sam asked him, he nodded stiffly and opened the file and flicked through the photos.

"I don't know any of them" he announced after a few minutes. "The ok. We were hoping you could narrow them down a bit, now we are going to have to identify all of them and check to see if any of them could have got the drug you were given, this is a long process and could take up to a week. It is possible that none of them are who we are looking for. We are hoping that the semen sample taken when you were at the hospital will give us a hit, until then there is not much I can do"

"Thankyou, I know it can't have been easy for you coming in today, if you have any hassles or questions please don't hesitate to call me. I will of corse keep you updated with any information we find out." Maddie lead them out "Thankyou again"
