=======================

Abe is kidding with Roman after beating him on the shooting range when Reilly
comes in saying Diana is here to see Roman.  Roman tells him to send her in
and Diana looks at Abe and asks Roman if they can discuss this privately.  
Roman says she can talk in front of Abe and asks if she's got problems.  Diana
sits down and says she's just learnt that everything she believed for the last
year was a lie and she needs his help.  She tells him what happened in 
Washington and says she needs to know who her fiance was.  She asks if he can
help her and Roman asks if she's got anything more for them to go on.  Diana
gives him the letter James had written and Roman promises to get it back to 
her.  Abe takes the letter to be analyzed and Roman asks if Diana's alright.  
She admits she's scared and the more she finds out about James the more scared
she is.

Shane and Kim are surprised when Peachy arrives and asks if she can use the
guest house.  They say of course and are very surprised when Peach says 
Geoffrey is bringing the bags in.  Kim asks how Geoffrey is and Peach coyly
says he's her fiance.  Kim thinks this is wonderful but Shane is dubious.
Peach explains that an aunt died and she came into some money so she went on a
holiday where she met Geoffrey.  Geoffrey arrives and Peachy introduces him to 
Shane and Kim.  Kim says this is marvellous and she'll make some tea and they
must have dinner together.  Shane grabs her hand and drags her into the hall 
asking if she isn't going a bit overboard.  Kim asks what he means and Shane 
asks if she doesn't think this is all a bit suspicious.  Kim doesn't think so 
but Shane storms off saying he does and is going to ask some pertinent 
questions.  Shane sits with them and asks some questions but doesn't get any
very straight answers from Geoffrey.  Kim tries to offset Shane's rudeness and
Shane glares at Geoffrey's back when he calls Peachy Lavinia.  Peach and 
Geoffrey go the guesthouse to get some rest and Shane asks Kim what she thought
she was doing.  Kim asks how he dare give Geoffrey the third degree like that.
Shane says for all they know he's a criminal but Kim says she knows why he's
doing this, he's jealous.

Roman and Abe lift some prints off the letter and Abe goes to run them through
the computer.  Roman tells Diana this may take a while and if she wants to go
home he'll call her.  Diana says she'd rather wait.  Roman says he knows how
hard it is to lose someone you care about and assures her that if her friend
served in any official capacity they'll find out who he was.  

MM goes to see Angelica and tells her the foreman has been using substandard
materials and wiring in the upper floors of the building.  Angelica takes some
convincing but eventually asks Jen to call the foreman to her office with his
invoices.  After checking out the foreman's invoices Angelica fires him and
thanks MM for bringing this to her attention.

Shane tells Kim that's nonsense and asks what he has to be jealous of.  Kim 
says Peach has been like a mother to him and he could be reacting like some
children do when their mothers find someone new.  Shane says that's ridiculous
and says Peach has only known Geoffrey for three weeks.  Kim thinks it's
romantic but Shane is worried and says Geoffrey sidestepped all his questions.
Kim says Peach is happy but Shane says Kim is being gullible and asks how she
would feel if Caroline waltzed in with a new man, just after coming into some
money.  Kim thinks he's being paranoid but Shane doesn't think he is and storms
off saying he's going to find out about Geoffrey.

Diana paces Roman's office and he says he knows this is tough and asks if she
wants to talk about it.  Diana says she thought it was tough when she was 
mourning James, but then everything was cut and dried.  She knew she loved
James, hated his killers and wanted to find them so she could get some sort
of revenge.  Roman looks up suddenly when she says that and she smiles saying
she guesses that was a stupid thing to say to a cop.  Roman says no, he knows
a little about revenge himself.  Diana says she doesn't even know who to be
angry with now and at one time thought the truth would make her feel better.
She falters and Roman asks if she's got any family.  Diana shakes her head and
Roman says he knows she's got friends and tells her they can come in handy at
a time like this.  Diana says she thinks she'll be getting through this one by
herself.  

Peachy goes to see Kim and tells her Geoffrey has changed her life and made
her look at things differently.  Peachy is sorry Shane doesn't seem to think 
she knows enough about Geoffrey.  Kim grimaces and asks if it was that obvious.
Peachy laughs and says she knows the laddie so well.  Kim says Shane will come
around and Peachy really deserves this happiness.

Abe comes back and Roman asks if he got a match.  Abe did and tells Diana that 
James's real name was James Pearson and he had a long police record.  Diana 
asks what he did and Roman looks through the record while Abe says it was 
mostly white collar stuff.  Roman says he also liked to pass himself off as 
people he wasn't and even passed himself off as a doctor.  Diana mutters even
a research scientist and says everything about him was a lie.  Roman asks Abe
about James' employers and Abe says most of them believed his story and didn't
know he was up to anything.  They decide he was probably a free lancer, some 
sort of spy for hire and Roman wonders who he was working for when he was 
killed.  Abe says he's still looking into that.  Abe leaves and Roman gives
Diana back the letter saying for what it's worth, James was probably lying to
her to try and protect her.  He says the letter makes it pretty obvious he
really cared about her.  Diana asks why she feels like such a fool.  Roman 
tells her never to feel like a fool for loving someone, especially when the 
person returns the love.  Diana thanks him for his help and leaves.  

Shane goes to the precinct to see Roman and asks if he can borrow the police
computers.  Roman says of course and laughs asking if the ISA computers have
gone out.  Shane says it's actually just that Kim isn't keen on his pursuing
this and asks if he can ask a favour.  Roman tells him to go for it and Shane
asks if he could forget he was here if Kim asks.  Roman laughs and kids Shane
about Kim when she thinks she's right and he's wrong.  

MM and Jen are outside the Fish Market talking when the foreman from the
construction site comes by threatening him.  Jen and MM are looking
worried when
Roman comes by and walks over to see what's going on.  MM introduces him and
the foreman and Roman asks if Jen and MM are coming in as Caroline is expecting
them.  Jen says yes and follows Roman.  The foreman warns MM they're not 
finished before he leaves.

Diana goes down to the pier and doesn't notice the man with the braid hiding
under it.  She re-reads James' letter and leans against a pillar crying
quietly.  Suddenly a man grabs her from behind and goes to drag her off the
pier telling her to shut up.  The man with the braid leaps out, grabs the
man from behind and yells at Diana to run.  She does and the guy with the 
braid fights the man until he runs off.  The man with the braid then rings
someone and says Diana is alright but she's not easy to look after.  Diana 
rushes home, slams the loft door shut and angrily rips up James's letter
cursing him for what he did to her.

So were the days,

Liz for Di
