Rekindled Love
Gina rested her pounding head on her desk. An aspirin fizzed in a glass next to her and she winced as the sound of her phone ringing made her head hurt even more. She slowly raised her head and reached for the phone handset.
"Inspector Gold", she answered.
"Ma'am, it's Leela. We have a report of a disturbance at number 27 Canley road. It's a Mr Andrew Peters and his wife. His wife has asked to speak to you."
Gina rolled her eyes. Arguing spouses were the last thing she wanted at the moment but when the wife happened to be her cousin and close friend, she couldn't help getting involved.
"Ok, Leela I'm on my way now." Replacing the handset she raised herself slowly from her seat. She opened the door to her office and walked across the corridor to where Smithy was sat looking blankly at his computer screen.
"Busy are we Sergeant Smith?" She teased.
"Aint I always Ma'am?" Smithy looked at Gina and a smirk flickered across his lips.
"Had a bit too much to drink last night did we?"
Gina had been out the previous night with Adam and Superintendent Heaton at the Mayors party. She would have been alright if Adam hadn't encouraged her back to his place for a few more drinks.
"You could say that. Anyway, would you like to join me on a shout?" She asked with a smile. Smithy was one of the people she trusted most in the station and was one of her closest friends.
"Yeah sure, what is it?"
"A domestic on Canley road." Gina perched herself on the edge of Smithy's desk. "But it's not quite as simple as that. The wife is my cousin, Andrea Peters. We were very close as children and she got married eight years ago, but her husband Andrew is very abusive."
" Right, I'll get my coat then. And don't wotty I wont tell anyone." Smithy stood up and put on his belt.
