Sergeant Stone is on his way home from a night out with friends when he witnesses a man and woman, later identified as Clarinda Blake and Tim Hardacre, arguing down an alleyway. When Tim starts to beat Clarinda, Stone rushes to her defence but Tim turns on him and gives him a severe beating while Clarinda flees. PCs Roger Valentine and Nate Roberts are called to the scene and are stunned to see Stone, covered in blood. Clarinda is eventually traced and questioned by Sergeant Jo Masters, but she insists she was the victim of a random mugging and doesnt want to make a statement, much to Jos frustration. After spending the night in hospital, Stone shocks everyone, including new recruit PC Kirsty Knight, by turning up for his shift, covered in bruises and dry blood. Inspector Smith agrees to let him stay, on the grounds he stays within the station. Kirsty and Jo head to the pub that Clarinda owns and they meet Tim, who helps to run the bar and both officers notice he fits the description Stone gave of his attacker. The officers soon discover there has recently been a lot of tension between Clarinda and Tim and that petrol was poured through the letterbox the previous week
