This is a new fanfict that I've been working on. This is something different that isdedicated to Emma, who is obsessed with Zain!

Chapter One - Meeting up Again

"So what have you been up to?" She smiled, sitting down at her desk.

"Well I started at DPS where I took my Sergeant's exams and now I'm at National Crime Squad" He said, sipping at his coffee.

DS Zain Nadir was returning to SunHill after almost 4 years. He had returned now to help on an organised sex trafficking gang. He now sat in Samantha Nixon's office. He looked around, it looked so much more bright and airy since Neil Manson had owned it. The open blinds let the summer sunshine fall into the room.

"Looks like you've done well for yourself too. It was never gonna be easy to take over Manson's spot!" He laughed.

"It wasn't believe me. I only got this because he was offered promotion at another station. I thought I would be a DS forever. I must admit I do miss it sometimes. I miss sitting out there with everyone and having a chat." She sighed lightly. He watched as the sun came into contact with her golden hair. It shone brightly, dazzling him.

"I hear that you're engaged too. Congratulations!"

"Thank you! Anyway who told you that?"

"Jo!"

"Typical!"

"So anyone I know!"

"I doubt it. He's a copper but he works away a lot. We only get to see each ther at weekends now!" Zain thought he heard an element of bitterness in her voice.

After a general chat about the intelligence gathered about their suspects, Zain and returned back to his hotel. He stepped out of his car and walked through reception. A porter smiled at him as he waited for the lift. He opened the door to his room and switched the TV on, listening to the football results. He undressed and stepped into the shower. He stood underneath the warm jet for half an hour, he had always found the sound of water relaxing. He wrapped a towel around him and reached for his phone as it began to ring.

"Alright?" Jo's voice rang. "Fancy a pint and a catch up?"

"Course why not?" He replied.

"I'm bringing Gazza along with me, alright?"

"Don't tell me he's back an' all!"

"Course! Got me teaboy back now!" She laughed. "Meet you at The Canley Arms in half an hour!"

"Sure!"

Zain hailed a taxi and arrived at The Canley Arms. He walked inside the dark pub and saw half of SunHill sat down around a few tables. Everyone greated him, well all the ones that knew him anyway. Jo patter him on the back and went to go and get him a drink. He sat down next to Gary. He spied Ramani and Terry looking cosy in the corner, whispering sweet nothings to each other. At another table he saw a familiar blonde inspector draped over her tall dark fiance. He didn't look the kind of person that you would cross unless you had a death wish.

Samantha wore a green sleeveless, low cut top and a black skirt with a layered and split bottom. She crossed her legs and let the skirt expose her shapely legs. Zain couldn't help but stare but stopped as her boyfriend protectively placed his hand on her leg, covered her legs and glared back at him. Zain turned away and made conversation with Jo who placed a pint in front of him and sat back down again.

"So who's crusher over there?" Zain asked. Jo laughed.

"That's Samantha's fiance. I don't really know him but I've heard he can get quite jealous so mind out! You don't have to have done anything either."

"How long they been together?"

"About 3 years I think, he works for MIT, he came here to investigate some killings and er ... well let's just say that he caught more than the killer!" She laughed. "But he works away, I think he only comes back at weekends. Rumour has it that he plays away and messes around with anything in a skirt whilst her back is turned. But that is only rumour, I mean she's not stupid. I'm sure she wouldn't put up with it if it were true ... Anyway why are you so interested?"

"Just curious, she mentioned him earlier but there was an air of resentment!"

"Well he's got friends in high places so make sure you don't cross him. I think she gets bored by all his friends, they're all lechers who try and touch her up. He laughs it off but she hates it."

"I'm not surprised! Why does he let them do it?"

"Because he doesn't want to get on the wrong side of them all. They're all powerful people. If you ask me, he's hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean I doubt there's any proof or anything but I've heard that he's covered up for a lot of his 'friend's' shady dealings, he's also 'lost' vital evidence more than once!"

"Not really a nice guy then?"

"No but Sam seems to like him so I suppose he's not all that bad!"

Zain watched as Sam and her guy left after half an hour. She waved goodbye as he held her hand, pulling her along. She smiled at Zain as she went by and said that she would see him tomorrow.

She was still in his thoughts an hour later when he leaft. He hailed another taxi and arrived at his hotel. He jogged up the stairs this time and flopped onto his bed. He switched on the TV and started watching some film. He wasn't really watching it though, he had a certain blonde on his mind.

Please read and review, it makes me happy! As you can tell I do quite like Zain but it's still Sam/Phil all the way
