Hanne kissed Paul again and again, they were alone at last.

"I really missed you," said Hanne.

"I missed you too babe and I’m so glad I’m out of that shit hole," replied Paul.

"I can’t believe Christian set you up....I mean why?"

"He just doesn’t like me much ‘cause of leaving A1 and stuff, guess he’s gone a bit too far this time,"

"Yeah...although Paul why were you near the scene of the crime anyway? You told us lot you went out for a walk around Peterborough....not London," Paul began to worry again....what was he gonna say?

"Paul....Lis wants to know if you want anything to eat?" asked Ben butting into the lounge. Paul sighed.

"Erm...can I have some toast please?"

"Sure....you better come through to the kitchen then," Paul got up and walked away. Ben sat down next to Hanne.

"You OK?" he asked.

"I guess....just got a few unanswered questions to ask Paul that’s all,"

"Oh right...well why don’t you leave them questions for now and let Paul enjoy his first day back here....anyway you don’t want him to think you don’t trust him,"

"Ben! I need to know just one thing...."

"What?"

"I wanna know why he was near the scene of the crime and why he told us he was out walking in Peterborough,"

"Erm...Hanne maybe he had to get something from his flat and he just didn’t feel the need to tell us,"

"Ben...don’t you think it’s a bit odd....I mean going to London isn’t just a two minute job from Peterborough now is it? And why didn’t Paul bring back something from his flat if he needed something?"

"Good point,"
"Exactly....now do you agree it’s a bit odd?"

"Just a little...but maybe we’re letting our minds take over here, it’s probably nothing and well maybe Paul had to see someone back in London quickly or something like that....it’s nothing Hanne,"

"OK....but I can’t help thinking these things,"

"Yeah I know...anyway you wanna play on my playstation with me upstairs?"

"Yeah,"

"Cool....you ready for an ass kicking though?" Hanne giggled.

"Ben...the only ass kicking happening will be me beating you!"

"Well we’ll see about that," Ben and Hanne ran upstairs to Ben’s room.

"It’s so good to have you back Paul," said Zee.

"I know,"

"We’ve missed you!"

"Awwww guess I missed you too,"

"Zee has got a sweet side then," joked Lisa as Zee stuck her tongue out at her.

"Can’t believe Christian set you up though....that’s just mad.." said Zee.

"Yeah," replied Paul looking over at Mark, "Mark...erm do you wanna go and see what Ben and Hanne are doing with me?"

"Yeah sure," Mark and Paul walked out and went upstairs to Ben’s room.

"Wait Mark,"

"What?"

"Hanne’s been asking me questions,"

"What questions?"

"Like how come I said I had been walking in Peterborough....when I was actually in London,"

"Shit, do you think she’s thinking things,"

"I’m not sure....but probably,"

"Fuck,"

"Hanne’s a clever girl and she can’t be fooled easily and so if she asks me that question again I’m just gonna say that when I was out walking you texted me to ask me to visit you quickly OK?"

"OK cool, fine,"

"Back me up on it if she asks you,"

"Yeah....but..."

"But what?"

"Oh nothing,"

"OK...?"

"I told Lisa everything!"

"You did what?!"

"I couldn’t keep it to myself any longer,"

"Does this mean Ben knows too?"

"No....only Lisa and she understands....sorry Paul...I had to tell someone,"

"It’s OK I guess," Paul and Mark both walked into Ben’s room.

"I’m kicking his ass!" screamed Hanne....she was beating Ben on Ben’s game.

"Nothing changed there then," laughed Paul.

"Oi!" moaned Ben and giving up on trying to win the game. Zee entered with Lisa.

"I’ll play you Ben," suggested Zee.

"No...it’s OK," replied Ben.

"Is it ‘cause I’m a girl?"

"No...it’s just I don’t wanna see you upset when you lose!"

"I will not lose and I’ll prove it!"

"Fine!"

"Here we go again," sighed Paul.

"Get ready for your own ass kicking Benny Ben!"

"You better be ready too then Zeeles!" Ben and Zee began to play Ben’s WWF fighting game. Hanne looked over at Paul....she so badly wanted to know why Paul was in London. She started thinking up all sorts of crazy things in her mind. She ran out of the room. Paul followed quickly.

"What’s up Hanne?"

"You!"

"Me?"

"Why were you in London on the night of Benji’s murder?!"

"Hanne..."

"Tell me the truth Paul Marazzi!"

"I didn’t do it!"

"The truth! Why were you in London in the first place?"

"I-"

"Were you with a girl? Were you getting something from your flat? What Paul what?"

"When I was out walking....Mark-"

"Mark?! What’s he got to do with it?! Paul did you kill Benji honestly?! I know you wanted him dead....everyone can tell!"

"Has Lisa said anything to you?"

"Lisa....what’s she got to do with it?"

"Nothing...."

"I don’t believe you!" Hanne was now in tears and she marched back into Ben’s room and Paul followed. She pulled the plug out of Ben’s playstation.

"Hey!" shouted Ben.

"We were playing that and I was winning!" added Zee. They all saw the tears rolling down Hanne’s face. Hanne turned to Paul.

"Paul."

"Hanne calm down yeah,"

"No I will not,"

"OK..."

"Paul tell us all.....why you were in London on the night of Benji’s murder?"

"He was-" butted in Mark.

"Shut it Mark!"

"I....I....I..." He looked at Lisa and then at Mark, "I can’t lie Mark...we have to tell them,"

"Tell us what?" asked Ben.

"This ain’t gonna be easy,"

"What?"

"Right...I did plan to kill Benji....but I couldn’t do it,"

"Oh my god," whispered Hanne, "Why?"

"Because I wanted you Hanne,"

"I don’t believe this,"
