"Not a good idea. Frank, you can't go- Stop! Don't let him through!"

The sirens were loud. Very loud. But not as loud as the sound of his heart thudding in his chest.

The officers on scene tried to hold him back; tried to stop him getting through; tried to stop him seeing her.

He saw her.

As soon as he saw her, he tried to pull his arms out of their grips. They held on. He turned to scream at them, "That's my wife!"

The crowd behind the barrier was attempting to watch the action take place. The whole area was full of people and cops.

He managed to free his arms. "This is my case and that's my wife!" He yelled in the cops faces. They backed off.

He turned and ran to her, falling down onto his knees. The shouts and noises behind him were drowned out and all he could hear was his heart. It was fast. He tried to feel for signs of her heart too.

She was silent.
