638: 'Walk on By'

PCs Nate Roberts and Mel Ryder are confronted with a shocking scene when they are called to a stabbing on a bus. They find terrified passenger, Holly Perkins, who is desperately trying to stem the flow of blood coming from Kelvin Gainham’s stab wound.

Nate immediately jumps into action and helps Kelvin while waiting for the paramedics to arrive. Once Kelvin has been taken away in an ambulance, Nate questions Holly who explains that Kelvin and another man squared up to one other and although she tried to diffuse the situation, a knife was pulled and Kelvin stabbed. Nate is charmed by how determined Holly is to help but is later surprised when he learns that she is DC Terry Perkins daughter.

Holly and Nate head back to Sun Hill where Holly helps by providing detailed statements and offering to search for the attacker - the pair apparently seems to bond, much to Terry’s annoyance. The case takes a dramatic turn when it becomes a murder investigation and the hunt is on to find the suspect, Jed Ryan.

During the search, Terry is horrified when Holly and Nate find themselves in yet another dangerous situation after Holly disobeys the PCs orders and is confronted by an emotional Jed.
