“B-but I need to check he's alright." She protested, wanting desperately to smooth things over and make everything alright again.

“Sonya believe me he's fine. He won't be able to teach classes for a while though and I made sure he won't be seeing you ever again." Jamie said. Reaching out he pulled her against him. She Let out a sob against his chest.

“I'm sorry I did that though. I could have handled it better but I couldn't just stand there and let you take that from him. Truth be told I didn't actually think I could break a guys jaw." Apparently those new muscles of his weren't just for show. "Served him right though didn't it?"

She couldn't help but let out an indecipherable murmur in the affirmative.

“Now we can go into York tonight and find a hotel, away from the drama of the rest of the students. Then tomorrow we can go back home and you'll probably be teaching a few of our classes now. At least until that jackass can speak again. Everything will be fine baby. I Promise.”

His words were comforting and his presence had an odd way of calming her down.

After wiping the tears from her eyes and letting out one final sniffle she spoke up again. "Jamie you just hit a man. We have to go to the police and tell them what happened." Her voice was still riddled with worry.

“You might not go to jail if we tell them why...I-I don't want you to go to jail."

Jamie hugged Sonya a little tighter against him. "I'm not going to jail. Trust me. The professor has been smuggling university finds to foreign museums illegally now for about three years. Believe me if I told the police what I know he'd go to jail for a lot Longer than a broken jaw is worth.”

“What!?" She exclaimed.

“How did you find that out?" Her shock at hearing this news stifled her worry for a while. Then when it dawned on her what it meant she seemed a little conflicted. After all she was a very honest person and didn't like the idea of letting the professor steal from the university one bit.

“I'm a super sleuth." Jamie replied somewhat enigmatically. In fact he'd been able to read enough of the professor's thoughts to know pretty much every dirty Little secret he had.

“Look, don't you worry about it right now Love. If you don't want to come with me then that's fine, I'll see you when you get back to London. Either way I'm..."

“No, I'm coming with you." She interrupted firmly.

“I want to come with you." Her voice was a little more softly spoken this time.

"Good. Let's get out of here then." Jamie said and finally let her go.

She walked around her car to slide in the driver's side and he opened the passenger door before Looking back at the dig site. It seemed he'd have to wait a while before finding out if there was anything more about the nature of Allison was hidden there.

They stopped back at the village and went to pick up their things.

Jamie stuffed the clothes and his toilet bag into his backpack and then headed back down to the bar to wait for Sonya. Allison was nowhere to be seen and curiosity got the better of him whilst he waited for his new leggy girlfriend to join him. Stepping up to the bar he came face to face with a woman in her early fifties with short greying hair and a serious weight problem. Despite that though she had a good natured face and wasn't so jaded by bar work that she couldn't muster up a smile when she spoke to him.

“What'll it be?" She asked cheerfully.
