Conor Sullivan and Adam Harper
Conor hadn't been oblivious to the way Adam's focus had been lovingly fixed on Blake for a while, nor was he unaware when Aliana had to snap herself out of her own fixation on the couple. Conor sent his wife a curious expression before she told him to cut Adam some slack. "Alright, fine. We'll leave poor Chase overworked a few more days," he teased, knowing how close Adam was to the man in question. He soon put his full focus on Aliana as her eyes drifted between his eyes and mouth. He couldn't help but grin at her and then softly smile when she whispered she was proud of him. "That's good," he said, when she quietly told him she couldn't withhold anything now. "Now you've got me all excited," he suggestively whispered back.
Adam met Blake's gaze as she raised an eyebrow at him, clearly curious as to why he wanted some more time off. He wasn't even certain this evening would go his way, but if it did, then he was sure he and Blake would want to spend plenty of time together. If she rejected his proposal, he was sure they'd still make good use of his time off, whether together or separately. "Oh, the time off will be worth it, I hope..." he trailed off. His voice was confident, but the more time he had to think about it, the more that rare nervous feeling was creeping towards him. At least while he was pissed off at Conor, he didn't have the opportunity to worry about Blake rejecting him, but now, his mind was clear enough to let some apprehension in. "Don't worry, love. If I need some more time off later, I'll just try get myself a minor injury or some shit o I can pull a sicky."
Whilst Aliana and Conor spoke directly to each other for a short time, Adam talked quietly to Blake. "I was thinking we could head over to my place when we're done here." Leaning in closer, he spoke so only Blake could hear. "They might not even notice we're gone soon. I think Conor's hoping he's back in Ali's good books now, if you know what I mean," he remarked.

Olivia Sullivan and James Porter
Olivia rolled her eyes when Sam said her father would be involved if he wasn't already. "Unfortunately, I think you're right. God knows what he thought I was getting up to whilst he was in jail and couldn't keep close tabs," she suggestively told him, before playfully laughing. She almost missed his comment about talking to James about her being his girlfriend. "Hmmm. You like to get ahead of yourself, don't ya?" she teased, but her own cheeks blushed at the pleasant thought of Sam being her boyfriend.
She followed Sam to their booth and the waitress came to their table. Olivia curiously watched as the girl blatantly ignored her. Olivia folded her arms and glared at the waitress whilst Sam lectured her about her lack of manners. Olivia held her tongue until after the replacement server had come over to take their order and she requested a vodka and coke. Once she was alone again with Sam, Olivia let out the scoff she'd been holding in. "Who's Jane then? Not someone you're attached to, right? 'Cos if she's rude to me like that again I'll kick her head in," she firmly assured him. "I'm not having someone be rude to me like that for any reason."
Sam then went on to say he thought she was someone who liked to win. She smirked at it but didn't think confirmation was necessary. "Alright let's play." Of course, as they started playing pool and Olivia sank a ball, she already knew her first question. "So when did you fuck Jane and is she still hot for you?" she sarcastically asked, flashing a mischievous smile.
Watching Sam take his shot, Olivia stood with one hand on her hip and the other toying with the pool cue. She wasn't aware they had familiar company until she heard James' voice and the man stopped alongside her. "How many flukes have you had so far?" the man gruffly asked her.
"I..." Olivia stuttered, turning to look to her adoptive father. "What are you doing here?" she asked, glancing to Sam as her face turned a deeper shade of red. "And I'll have you know all my shots are pure skill," she informed him, awkwardly clearing her throat.
"Yeah, I know. Shame you haven't got the same quality of skills when it comes to dodging my radar. I always know, kid," he remarked, clearly now referring to her previous stealthy dates with Sam. "Evening, Sam. I don't think we've personally met," he soon greeted the young man, reaching out to give him a firm and prolonged handshake as he studied the man closely. "Did you drive here?" he knowingly asked him. "How do you plan on getting my daughter back home?"

Christian Brooks
When asked what kind of man Josh was, Christian recalled the night at the club. "I was inclined to think lowlife scumbag civilian, especially after the crap he was spewing after I beat him down," he began. "He seemed pretty focused - obsessed, even, with May. Threatened her straight in front of me, saying he'd abduct her," he bitterly explained to Alex. "But I'm inclined to think him and his family are up to something more. Not quite the level of your family, but drugs and the like. I'd hazard to say small-time, but considering there's only three of us and with limited weaponry, we shouldn't underestimate him. There's got to be some kind of trap."
When they arrived at the warehouse in question, Christian pulled the car up across the street and turned off the engine. Looking out of the window, he pointed towards the large door. "There's the entrance," he pointed out. "Can you see anyone around? Anything suspicious?" he asked as he scanned the area around the building.

Despite her reservations, Savannah couldn't help but consider possibilities of how she could see Callum without Conor and Syd needing to be involved. "This is my business, not theirs," she agreed. "If Alex would just let me see Callum. Not here or in London, but somewhere else. Somewhere away from our families and any danger," she thought aloud. With mentions of legal support, she nervously bit her lip. "But that's why I ran away in the first place, because they threatened to seek full custody and take him from me."
Savannah let out a choked breath of air. "I just want us both to be able to see him. Callum needs both of his parents," she reasoned. "I should try calling Alex and try get him to see reason - to let me see Callum. I wouldn't expect you to come with me, but I could meet them somewhere, without anyone else needing to get involved. It just needs to be me, Alex and Callum. Our families have used us as an excuse to fight for long enough now."
