Delaney's eyes flitted to the window,

"You can try pet, but if I don' t like it you're in trouble," he said silkily, "you're in trouble anyway you know that right?"  He smirked at the red head and added almost casually, his eyes flitting to the heavy pliers in his hand, "The door's locked, they will take time battering it down, that leaves me plenty of time." Delaney took a menacing step towards her, somehow she hadmanaged to distract him and it did niggle him a bit.

Mickey walked out of the office with his gun, he had called back up and insisted Jess stayed put, he had been in the job long enough to be cautious as well as brave.  Mickey came to the back up area, there was no sign of Kirsty,
"Where the hell are you?" he muttered, turning towards where he had left her in the first place.

Delany watched the girl cautiously,

"Pumpkin?" he snorted," you'l have to do better than that."

Delaney rasied the pliers, then his eyes went to the locked door, "damn!" he swore, then he laughed and growled in the girls face, "at least I know you name now pet, so I will be seeing you again.  We can finish what we started." 

The girl tried to push him back out the window, even though she was much smaller than he was,, but he Delaney took the pliers and smashed them hard across her rib cage,  not as hard as he could have, mad because he had been kept distracted too long, he didn't wait to see the outcome, he leapt out of the window and ran.

Mickey hammered on what he now realised was a locked door as the sound of more running feet signalled back up was on the way.

"KIRSTY!" he bellowed. Mickey stepped back and drew his gun, "I am blasting the lock!" Mickey blasted the lock just as the lights came back on.

Mickey watched as the door swung open, he ran into the room and saw Kirsty kneeling on the floor, he went over too her, he couldn't see any blood,

"Kirsty, what happened, I though I told you......"  Mickey trailed off as he saw the open window and almost yelled at Kirsty, "you are lucky he didn't kill you, what where you thinking?  I shouldn't have left you to swicth the back up on."

Mickey helped her up carefully,

"We can sort this out later, you need to get your ribs seen too," he said tactfully, although he was sure Kirsty hadn't got lost, he let it slide for now.

Mickey sat Kirsty down in the office and called an ambulance, he put the phone down and looked across at her,

"I need to see Jess, she will be worried," he told her, "you stay put, we don't know how much damage that psycho has done to you."  

Jess run out and looked concern, she walked over to Mickey and held onto him but she was more quiet because of a phone call she had recieved.

"Is Kirsty going to be okay?" Jess asked as she swayed a little.

Mickey held Jess too him and nodded slowly

"Yes Jess, I think she'll be fine there wasn't any blood, but I don't know how she managed to get herself into that situation, she was defensive when I asked."  Mickey dropped a kiss onto Jess's hair and let her go, "try and talk to her Jess, she might tell you something she didn't want to tell me."

Mickey caught Jess as she almost fell,

"Jess, what the..."  he began in surprise, then he saw how pale she was, he guided her carefully to the cough at the far end of the office and sat down with her,

"Jess what happened?" he asked, realising something else was going on.

(okay - I'll go back to Delaney, he's been a bit quiet Lol)

Delany walked along the pavement , the evening air was cold and his jacket thin, he scowled, he wondered how that red head, Kirsty had managed to get under his skin.  His obsessive mind had flicked from Mickey to her, it had been easy, all he had done was follow the ambulance, wait and follow it back to her doorstep.  Delany looked at the door, the windows where secure, but nothing he hadn't seen before, he knew she was alone and at home, he'd just ask her how her ribs where.  Delaney's lips twisted into a half cruel smile, he fished in his pockets and snipped the phone wire, before he turned his attention to the lock on the nearest window.
