Bill Spoilers 12th Feb 2009

PC’s Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) and Ben Gayle (Micah Balfour) respond to a call from Jill Bentley (Ingrid Lacey), who explains that her teenage daughter, Sarah (Charlie Grant), was home alone the night before when someone attempted to break in.

Sarah claims she was ill in bed at the time, but after checking the house, Ben finds evidence of a party. The officers leave and are called to a nearby street where they find an unconscious Wesley Fitzroy (Ricci McLeod). As they tend to the teenager, the paramedics arrive and Nate takes an instant shine to nurse Maria Joseph (Rachel McDowell), who recognises Wesley as a good friend of her brother, Emmanuel (Benedict Smith).

Nate later meets Emmanuel, who says that he and Wesley were at their football team’s party the night before, but Wesley left when Aubrey Haynes (Toby Wharton), a local thug and drug dealer, turned up. However, evidence later proves that Wesley and Emmanuel had a huge fight later that night. Emmanuel is arrested and Maria is horrified but Nate is determined to do all he can to help the pretty nurse and her brother.

Later that day, Jill calls the station in a panic to tell them Sarah has gone missing. Officers find blood on her bed covers and the race is on to find her. Nate and Ben eventually locate her, cold and frightened by a bridge and after coaxing her away from the edge, they take her back to the station. Sarah finally confesses that the previous night, a few people were at her house, including Wesley, her boyfriend, and Aubrey.

Not a man to be messed with, Aubrey persuaded her to take drugs and while Wesley was sleeping, attempted to rape her. When Wesley awoke and realised what was happening, he fought with Aubrey and the two eventually ran out of the house. Soon after Sarah’s confession, a distraught Maria visits Nate and tells him that Emmanuel, best friends with Sarah and Wesley, has gone after Aubrey.

Nate and Ben quickly find the pair at the local football club, where Emmanuel is holding a knife to Aubrey. Nate gently persuades him to put the knife down, but amid the confusion, Aubrey lashes out at Emmanuel, and Emmanuel stabs Aubrey.
