"PC Green, A little punctuality won't go a miss" Beth sighed and took her seat next to Will as Inspector Gold took her place at the front.
"When is Beth ever on time?". Sally laughed as she nudged the petite brunette.
"Oi I am on time most of the time". Beth smiled back at her.
"Ladies please". I only took one look from Inspector Gold to silence the girls.
"Ma'am. What exactly are we here?" Will tentatively raised his hand.
"Well William we are here to discuss your new living arrangements'". The Inspector clicked the arrow button to bring up the next slideshow.
"But we already have places to live" Beth looked at Max hoping for some kind of revelation.
"Yes you do, but now your going to live somewhere else". DI Manson took over, bringing up a picture on the flipchart.
"But I like where I live". Beth pouted much to Will's delight.
"Beth didn't we discuss the pouting thing". Beth deadpanned
"moving on, since there has been a new initiative which is too encourage team members to live together to help encourage a united team, so therefore we have chosen you six officers to live in this three bed roomed house for two months", Neil smiled at them all.
"But there is only three of us". Beth looked around the room then settled back on looking at the inspector.
"No Beth there is six". Gina nodded at Max and Jo.
"US". The two CID officers cried out in shock.
"Yes you". Neil smirked slightly at the disgruntled look that settle on Max's face.
"Ok so that's five who's the sixth". Beth smiled looking form Neil to Gina.
"Inspector Gold would you like to do the honour's?". Neil smirked even more as he sat down.
"In answer to your question PC Green Me, I Gina Gold will be moving in". Beth and Sally just sat looking at each other.

"Inspector Gold". Ben couldn't stop laugh whilst Mel just looked awe struck.
"Yeah the one and only". Ben started laughing again as she appeared in the Canteen.
"Shut up". Beth whacked him as the inpector approached their table.
"Ah just the people I wanted to seem, here are your keys to the house feel free to move in any time as you have the res tof the day of to pack". Gina smiled at them before handing Will, Sally and Beth their keys,
"Can I have a few days?". Sally started laughing.
"No PC Green you can not". The inpectors waked away smiling at Max as he approached the table.
"Beth it look like we will be sharing so we need some ground rules". Max sat down taking Will's black coffee.
"We're sharing, What are you talking about". Beth looked at Will who shrugged.
"Everyone is sharing a room with someone, Gina and Will, Sally and Jo and Me and You". Max looked at Beth like she was stupid.
"So I have to share with the Inspector". Will looked totally grossed out.
"Yeah that's the plan". Max looked from one to the other. "Did you not know". Max looked confused.
"No, no one told us". Beth took the piece of paper from Max's hand. "So we share a bathroom with the person who is in our room". Beth looked at Will and smiled. "Is that what you meant by ground rules because if you want to borrow my hairspray then that is ok". Beth smiled and Max couldn't help but smile, there was something about Beth.

William sweetheart can you come in here for a second". Will could hear Sally, Jo, Max and Beth laugh from downstairs.
"Yes". Will peered his head through the door scared to go in.
"I need to go over some things with you. Firstly everything on that side of the bath belongs to me and on that shelf in the shower. Secondly please put the toilet seat down once you have relieved your bladder thirdly if you have lady friends back I would prefer it if you wasn't loud and respected the fact that there are others in the house". Will was starting to get increasingly uncomfortable with the way the conversation was going.
"Will" Will breathed a sigh of relief as Beth called him from downstairs.
"Yeah". Will smiled at Gina before leaving the room.
"I need you to take my stuff upstairs". Max looked at Beth before grabbing one of her suitcases.
"I've got it". Max shouted to him.
"There's more". Max turned back around shocked.
"Are you joking?". Beth giggled making Max smiled again.
"No there are three in total". Will laughed at the so matter of fact tone.
"ok I'll grab one". Max smiled at Will as they passed.
"Yeah and when your done you can take Sally's as well". Beth smiled sweetly at him.
"Gee thanks". Beth laughed.

"Jo". Sally called out into the darkness.
"Yeah". Jo rolled over to face her.
"Why do you think we were chosen to come here?". Jo laughed a little.
"Because we are all single". Sally sighed not realising that possibility.
"Really why do you think?, I mean yeah we are all single but come on, who would of put Max and Beth together they are polar opposites, and Gina and Will is this some kind of punishment for Will but me and you I don't get that part I mean we're friends". Sally was well and truly baffled.

"Ma'am".
"Yes Will".
"What happens to our flats?". Will really was confused about the living arrangements.
"Well we are going to pay for the for the two months that you are living here". Gina tossed him the booklet to read through. "That'll tell you everything you want to know".
"thanks ma'am". Will smiled as he flicked on his bed side light.
"Will".
"Yes".
"Can you read it tomorrow?". Will smiled and switched the light.
"Yeah sure".

"Why did we end up with the double bed?". Beth rolled onto her side to face Max.
"Because we were the last to chose so we ended up with the top room in the double bed". Max sighed down into the pillows.
"why did we chose last?". Max laughed
"Because someone hadn't packed and we had to chose together". Beth laughed and nudged him.
"sorry". Max nudged her back.
"don't worry about it".
"Max?".
"Yeah"
"Can you switch the light off?". Max laughed.
"No".
"I can't be bothered". Beth whined a little.
"Neither can I, you put it on". Max rolled to face her.
"Yeah so you should switch it off". Beth smiled cheekily at him. Max huffed as he crossed the room
