Jack
The forty years in which he'd known her had been the best part of his life. They'd seen each other laugh, cry, shout; every emotion you could think of. Sometimes they were close, whereas other times they grew apart, through work, usually. He'd met her partly because of his work, partly because he'd felt he had to be there for his colleague's wife and child. On that day, he silently promised to himself he would look after her. It wasn't her fault her father was so thoughtless, and she didn't deserve to have her world turned upside down by him. This promise enabled him to provide her, several years later, with a steady job in his team, whilst pushing her to become what she is today- a brilliant copper. Pushing, he decided, was indeed the correct word; he'd run a tight ship in those days and seen her potential the moment she walked through the door as a spirited, self-assured, beautiful young woman.
She was still the same woman years later, but older and wiser. He too was older, but he had changed. Mary had passed on; how could he remain the same without her? There wasn't light in his life anymore, so he'd turned to anger, frustration, obsessing over her uncaught killer. Time seemed to stand still for all those years, until she saved him. He'd instantly recognised the sharp knock at his door and the blonde hair through the frosted glass. Their roles had now reversed.
He must admit he was doubtful at first. All his colleagues from the force were mad, dead or incapable of returning to police work. Could he go back after all this time? She'd assured him in her usual confident manner that she only needed a small team of three or four to begin with, and they'd start out slowly, working old cases from the day that could easily be solved with new technology and some simple detective work. He accepted her offer, and he thanks whoever it is up there that he did. Doing this, UCOS, has brought him so much. Three excellent friendships, an evil man locked away for his wife's murder and something intriguing to do five days a week, eight hours a day. What would he do without them? He is grateful to her, that lonely fourteen year old girl and gorgeous, fiery, intelligent woman.
