DS Kline and her colleague DC Brooks investigated the abduction of Ruby Soames by her father Tyrone Dobbs in February 2013. He had been driven to such lengths when his violet and abusive girlfriend Kirsty Soames had manipulated the situation to her benefit by getting him arrested on a charge of assaulting her and was denying him full access to their child. After several months of being battered by Kirsty, Tyrone had sheltered in a friendship with Fiz Stape which had developed into something more. It was the discovery of this romance that had led Kirsty into making the false accusation and taking his daughter away from him.
