AN: I DO NOT OWN THE BILL OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS......YET.
Misty times.
"i hate Halloween". Sally looked at Ben who looked deep into his coffee. "Ben".
"Yeah". Ben snapped his head up apparently unaware that Sally had even sat down.
"I said that I hate Halloween". Ben just nodded back at her.
"Sorry, stuff going on" Ben slid back his chair and slammed his cup on the counter.
"Will, you spoke to Ben yet?" Sally cornered him before he headed into briefing.
"tried but it failed". Will patted her waist before heading through the doors.
"Beth" Beth knew exactly what was coming.
"No we've been really busy. Me and Nate have only just got back into the station". Beth smiled
sympathetically before declaring into the radio her and Nate would attend the domestic.

"Ben we need to talk". Sally sat down next to him yet again.
"right you start". Ben didn't even turn to face her.
"what is going on with you?". Sally caught a glimmer of despair cross his face.
"nothing. You?". Ben looked at her trying to forge a smile.
"do I look stupid". Ben rubbed the back of his neck.
"no". Ben sighed and looked everywhere but at her.
"then talk to me, I'm your friend Ben". Sally didn't know what else to do.
"You know I'm adopted right" Ben turned to face her.
"Yeah. I thought you were over all that". Sally put her drink down.
"i am but my mum, my real mum has got in contact. She wants to see me". Sally felt a rock enter
the pit of her stomach.
"and how do you feel about that" Sally smiled at the phrase and pretty soon Ben joined up as well.
"seriously Ben" Sally drained the last of her glass.
"i don't know, I mean my mum she has raised me right this other woman she can't just barge in and
change it can she". Ben breathed out in one long sigh.
"no of course she can't. Not if you don't let her" Sally squeezed him arm.
"Sorry shall I give you a minute". Mel got up from where she sat on the other side of Ben.

"Morning officers". Smithy usual cheeriness was met by a disgruntled groan. "As I'm sure you are
aware tonight is Halloween, now for those of you lucky enough to get the night off how the
delightful job of policing throughout the day". Smithy looked around before continuing.
"There have already been several complaints of vandalised property and mugging so I want a high
visibility presence today". Smithy waved his hand to let him know it was other.
"Beth your paired with Will, Mel your with Nate and Sally your with Ben, Tony with Reg and I will
be in my office. You can leave". Callum re-sighted the list from the clipboard in his hand.
"Come on small stuff" Will pulled Beth up.
"I'm telling Smithy your been mean to me again" Beth giggled as Will made to grab her.
"Oi". Mel leaned up and kissed Will. Smiling at Beth she grabbed Nate's hand.

"Vandalism, they call throwing a pumpkin at the wall vandalism these days". Sally rolled her eyes
at Ben.
"some people might find it offensive". Ben reasoned.
"No if there were people throwing fake heads at wall's I might understand but it's a pumpkin and
they are kids". Sally stalked off ahead of Ben.
"I'm going to meet my mum tonight". Ben didn't know what encouraged him to tell her.
"Really". Sally was generally shocked by the conversation they had had yesterday he had wanted to
have anything to do with his parents.
"Yeah I'm mean if I don't go I won't know". Ben smiled at Sally who returned the look.

Sally groaned as she looked at the clock. It was 2.19 am, who the hell could be at the door at this
time.
"Ben". Sally wrapped the dressing gown up and stepped aside to let him in. Ben was soaked.
"Sorry it is so late I had to talk to someone about it". Sally put her legs up on the sofa.
"Go for it. I am up now". Sally smiled as Ben sunk back into the sofa.
"i saw her, I stood outside the bar and their she sat looking like she hadn't ever done a hard days
work. My mum if you look at her she's a mum yeah she looks presentable but you can tell, she go
up at 3 am when I cried. This woman who sat there in front of me she looked like she didn't get in at
3 am. She sat there and said I did what was best. Yeah, yeah she did because she walked away and
left me with my mum. The whole all I could think about was how well my mum made Sunday
dinner, and Yorkshire puddings. Because she Sally is my mum". Sally thought she had never heard
Ben speak so honestly and from the heart.
"Yeah Ben she is". Sally smiled as she relaxed back into the sofa.
