Tony pauses at the entrance as he arrives, takes everything in, covering the whole cellar, before he hurries down.
"Right," he says, taking charge. "Xie, get that tape off his legs. Lise, do a sweep of this basement to make sure we haven't missed anything. Kev..."
He moves Lisa gently out of the way, and her expression loses the panic, sets into the much calmer face of someone with a job to do. Tony takes her place next to Kevin, replacing her hand on his arm with his own.
"Detective Constable Kevin Sefton, listen. I'm DS Tony Costain, your immediate superior, and this is Xie Zhao, your boyfriend. We're going to take care of you, okay?"
Kevin doesn't remember any of this, but the part about Tony being his superior officer makes sense given the way he's taken charge, and the incredibly attractive man who hasn't stopped touching him, and who Kevin doesn't want to stop touching him... he can live with the idea of boyfriend.
So he nods politely. "Okay."
Tony hauls his leather trenchcoat off, and Kevin reels from the amount of blood on the t shirt beneath it, but Tony doesn't seem to mind. He hands the coat to Xie to give to Kevin.
"The bosses are on their way. Hold tight while I help case the scene, then we'll get you to someone who can help, okay?"

Again, Kevin agrees.
