Sat in the damp and dingy back room of the snooker hall sat three stern, evil looking men. They were doing business it was blatently obvious. The first of three men was young only about 17 or 18 his name was Jordan Tomlin, he was the less angry looking of three. The second man was unbeknown to the other two but just sat there waiting patiently like the other two. The last of the men was a tall, dark asian man with brown peircing eyes he looked up and ready for the events of the day, his name was Adi Mateen.

At the front of the snooker hall, were two Pcs, Kate hunter and Amber Johannsen. They were investigating Adi Mateen he had been named as a potentional drugs dealer on the Cole Lane estate, and they were following up a lead of an assualt of an addict who had been found left for dead on down a back alley on the estate. Amber was moaning about having to speak to Adi Mateen, she had been out the previous night and could think of better places to be, Kate stood arguing with Amber for about 5 minutes before persuading her to go into the snooker hall.

When they both finally enetred they couldn't see Mateen so they asked one of the few men playing snooker, who directed them to the room at the back of the snooker hall. PC Kate Hunter knocked on the door and told them it was the police, Adi answered.

Kate and Adi look each other up and down, Kate secretly smiles to herself thinking Amber hasn't noticed.

Adi stepped into the bar area of the snooker hall.

''My name is PC Hunter and this is PC Johannsen, we are here to speak to you about an assault that took place on the Cole Lane Estate last night , we have reason to believe you may have been involved''

''And what assualt might that be?'' Mateen's attitude was already beginning to wind Kate up.

''I think we both know what assualt I am talking about, Mr Mateen''

''Would you care to elaborate, PC Hunter'

Kate and Adi both exchange looks.

'' An assault took place on this estate last night on a drug addict, we have reason to believe that you were the person selling the victim the drugs and also the person who assaulted him''

''Yeah... you have reason, but do u actually have any evidence?''

PC Hunter stays silent, knowing Adi Mateen is right

''Thougt not'' said Mateen in an arrogant tone.

'' I will get you for this, if not this then something else Mateen, you're the scum that makes this estate what it is, and it is my job to bring people like you down''

Kates comments make Adi laugh as she looks at him in disbelief.

(Jordan and the other unknown man have now entered the room and are now standing and either side of Adi mateen)

Kate and Amber start to head towards the exit when Adi Mateen shouts PC Hunters name.

'' Those words you said to me just then, about me being scum, and dragging this estate down, that's slander y'know, like you said you have no proof d'ya?''

Rage flew through PC Hunters blood, he was so cocky and arrogant, it was almosst like he was asking to be caught. But anyway Kate didn't want to let a low life drug dealer like Adi Mateen get the better of her and so turned to him calmly and cooly and said

''Was there anything else, Mr Mateen?''

Surprisingly he replied.

''yeah, yeah there is actually''

''Go on then, enlighten me'' smirked Kate

'' For a cop your quite hot, Cop or no cop if i saw you on a night out i would definitley ask you back to mine''

This made kate's bood boil, she knew he was trying to wind her up, but as she turned to walk out she couldn't help but smile, she knew that she wouldn't say no either. She was attracted to Adi Mateen and, infact hoped that she would have to speak to him again that day.

Outside the snooker hall, Amber trailed behind Kate. Kate couldn't help but feeling a little let down by Amber, she knew that Amber had been out the night before, but she at least expected a little help from her. Kate decided to voice her opinions.

''Amber, why didn't you help me back there, I could have done with your support''

Amber replied '' I didn't think you needed it''

'' What do you mean by that?'' snapped Kate.

'' You and that Adi Mateen, exchaning looks, staring each other up and down, and he just admitted he fancied you, I thought that I should stay well out of it''

'Amber! your excuses get worse. I mean... Adi Mateen is ok, but I would never go there. Never'' Kate said unconvincingly.

''Yeah? well I know you better, and I know that you would, I mean it Kate watch out that man is trouble, he could have your job''

''Fine'' muttered Kate.

They both headed back to the station to see Sergeant Smith, and to tell him there findings.
