No Man's Land

Police began to swarm the street, jumping out of their cars and storming inside of the salon, with DS Lance leading the way.

He noticed a door was open, pulling it open further and walking down the steps in front of him.

Multiple police officers followed him down, as he walked inside of what was basically a prison.

He saw a man on a table, and four people in open cages, all five of them knocked out.

DS Lance and the officers all went over to one each, DS Lance went to Bruce, shaking him awake while the officers woke up the rest of the team.

The team got out of their cages, and Bruce off of the table, as DS Lance spotted the pig's body on the floor and his decapitated head near him.

"We got a body down here!" Shouted DS Lance to the officers upstairs.

Bruce walked over to the team, as DS Lance turned to face them. "What the hell happened here?"

"I'm sure you heard about the man who tried to kill us earlier?" Asked Diane.

"I did. An officer passed it on, glad you're all okay, but how did you get here?" Asked DS Lance.

"We were outside, Alfie came to us to see what had happened and the four of us were telling him, then a car pulled up, it was black, with no license plates. Out of the car came a person in a pig's mask, holding a rubber mallet. All I remember is he hit us with it and that was lights out." Said Romeo.

"I presume he put us in his passenger seats, back seats and the boot. We woke up in cages here and then he put a syringe in us, rendering us unconscious. After that, I remember your officers waking us all up" said Alfie.

"I'm sorry that we can't help you further," said Kurt.

"So you never saw who killed this man?" Asked DS Lance.

"Nope, as we said, we were unconscious" said Kurt.

"What about you?" Asked DS Lance, looking at Bruce.

"I had the same experience, except I woke up on the table" replied Bruce.

"I saw the pig's head on the table. We've been given two anonymous tip-offs recently that led us to finding two bodies nailed to walls with pig's heads on them. It's definitely the murderer. I'm going to close the case, scum like that doesn't deserve to get justice for being killed" said DS Lance.

"You're all free to go," he said to the team.

They all walked up the steps and out of the front door of the salon.

Alfie took out his phone, ringing an open all hours taxi service and asking for them to pick him up and bring him to Hollyoaks.

The rest of the team meanwhile, didn't need a taxi, as Diane and Bruce got in the car and Romeo and Kurt got on the bike, driving off.

A few minutes later, a taxi arrived for Alfie, which he got inside, before it drove off.

The team were thankful that the police didn't question their ray guns or gadgets, almost sure that they didn't care anymore about small crimes.

Theo meanwhile, was in a jeep with Frankie, who he had phoned to pick him up.

"So, care to tell me why you've been away all day? What happened?" Asked Frankie.

"Earlier today, a man parked outside of the restaurant. He got out of the car, wearing a pig's mask, and caught me off guard, knocking me out" explained Theo.

"I woke up in an open cage and saw this man going to chop up a body, so I got out of the cage, grabbed a cleaver and chopped off his head. I realised he had held my old friends hostage and opened the cages, phoned the police and left" he continued.
