Chapter One
"DS Moss..." She glanced up and accross at the Superintendent stood in the door way. The crisp white shirt and tie of his uniform instantly caught her eye. She rose to her feet and crossed CID, passing Mickey in the door way she smiled "Im in for it now" although he responded with a slight chuckle, her smile faded as she approached the office and stepped inside after the older man. "Sir?" she pushed the door closed and smiled softly. He glanced up from his papers on his desk "No need to look so worried Stevie... take a seat". She sunk down oppisite him and he smiled as he handed her a leaflet "You know this?" he asked and she took a quick scan of the information and nodded "Of corse Sir... COPS... its a charity to help the familys of injured or officers killed whislt on duty" he nodded slightly "Care Of Police Survivors Stevie.." he paused as he pulled out another leaflet and passed it too her "All the London stations have been asked to create a fundraising idea... a walk or a funday... something to raise money for the charity" he smiled "I want you to do it". She glanced up "Surley this is more a PR thing... Im a police officer...". He nodded "Normally yes... but I want it to be personal... and we have all lost friends in the force". She nodded sadly, "Unfortunatly you become used to it" she replied. He sighed "You have complete free reign Stevie... Im happy for you to make it as original as you like... to take as much time to organise it as you like... and if you need assistance.. which ever officers you like... Im sure any of them would be happy to help this cause". She nodded "Of corse... and Im more than happy to help... so long as you are sure Im the right person". He nodded "Im positive... let me know what ideas you come up with... why dont you go down to the canteen and brainstorm and come back to me at the end of the day". She nodded as she rose to her feet and gripped the leaflets "Great... thank you Sir".
Smithy made his way into the canteen and glanced round, it was fairly empty and he smiled to a few uniformed officers as he passed them on his way to the counter, he rose his hand briefly to the small blonde in the far corner before realising she was wrapped up in whatever it was she was doing. He smiled to the older blonde woman behind the counter "Erm a coffee please and whatever she was drinking" he gestured to the small blonde and watched as the woman began making the drinks, he couldnt help but eye her intently, she still hadnt noticed him and he couldnt help but grin at her. He paid for the drinks before making his way over to the table with the large mugs. He placed them down and she glanced up before grinning "Hey...". He nodded down to the spider graph she was designing and smiled "You know I hear the best cases are solved that way". She faked a sarcastic laugh and held the leaflet put to him "Im fundraising". He nodded slightly "Yeah... I heard about this... its a good cause... so whats the idea then?". She shook her head as she pulled the paper from her pad and screwed it up "Theres not one... if I wanted to organise events Id of become an events co-ordinator". Smithy smiled "Cant you do a sponsered walk" he asked as he unscrewed the paper and glanced over her ideas "Barton street are doing it". He nodded slightly, his eyebrows knitting together accross his forehead "And that matters because?". She sighed "I want it to be original". He smiled "What about this?" he pointed to the next idea to catch his eye "A calender... I mean.. its a bit earlier in the year but.. its for a good cause... get some shots of us all in our uniform". She sighed "But who really wants a load of pictures of us lot staning around looking offical". He shrugged his shoulders "I guess not.. you could always do one in your underwear... thats the sort of calender I buy". She stared at him, and he smiled at the unamused look on her face "Ha bloody ha Smithy... Im not getting my kit off.." she paused a smile covering her lips "But you could". He shook his head "No". She cut in "Not naked Smithy just..." he shook his head as he cut her off "No Stevie". She smiled "Just hear me out". He sighed "What?". She lent forward "I can make it tastefull.. you and some of uniform... maybe a few of CID... just with your tops off... I will get a few shots of you and make a calender... sell it.. think how much it will make for the charity". He sighed "I dont want to get my kit off Stevie...". She nodded "Yeah but you do though... cause I can hold a fundraising event to help sell them.. you can come and sign them and I bet you will get loads of phone numbers... this could be the boost your sex life needs..". He smiled "My sex life is perfectly fine". She sighed "I just wanted to raise money and it be a sucess... I erm.. when I was a PC.. I had this friend Martin.. and we were both new to the job and then.." he noticed the sadness in her eyes and reached accross the table and took her hand "We went out on patrol and... this bloke.. he pulled a gun on us.. something to do with a murder CID were looking into but Martin.. he took the bullet for me... and.." she sighed "I know we come on patrol everyday knowing that anything could happen but he had a wife and baby... I never really forgot it..". He sighed "Im sorry Stevie". She smiled as she wiped her eyes "I have seen other colleagues... but its never affected me as much". He nodded "Its always hard... I mean I have lost colleagues that ment a lot.. Kerry... I have told you about but there was a fire here... a PCSO.. he drove a van into the station years ago and... three people died but.. I dunno that had an affect.." she smiled "Were you close to the officers?" she asked and he shrugged his shoulders "Andrea I used to be.. her and Neil were.." he rose his eyebrows and she smiled "Really?" he nodded "And then it came out she was an undercover reporter but.. I was ment to be escorting her out of the station and I got called away.. but if I hadnt.. I dunno.. maybe she wouldnt of died.. I was in the front office when Fairfax did it... and was trying to sort the van out and there was a DC in the back... I was the last person to see him... I knew I couldnt get him out.. and so did he and all I could do.. was say goodbye.. he was frightened.. I could see it". She glanced round the canteen "I guess you never know eh... when its the last time you are going to see someone... when its all over?". He shook his head "No.. I guess not.." he smiled at her "Count me in.. for the calender... and anyone else you want in uniform.. there'll be in... otherwise they can spend weeks doing paperwork". She smiled as he kissed her hand "Thank you Smithy". He nodded "Let me know when we are needed" she watched him walk towards the door and sighed, he really had had it hard.
She had been to the Superintendent and he had loved her ideas so here she was three days later pinning a form to the notice board asking for volunteers, she jumped as the two men lent over her shoulder "Personal add is it serge?" Nate grinned and she turned back to him and smiled "No" she glanced between him and Ben and smiled "Put your names down then". Ben shook his head "Nope... Im not having my photo plasted up in loads of peoples kitchens". Nate took the pen from her hand and grinned "Im in... lets be honest the birds need a proper bit of eye candy.." Stevie nodded "Good man... come on Ben.. its important.. how many officers have you known that..." she sighed "Please..". He sighed "Ok.. but Im only getting my top off and I want it dignified..". She nodded "Of corse". She returned upstairs and moved over to where Banksy, Mickey and Terry sat, and rested down on the desk in the middle of them. "Right.. Im after a favour.." Mickey cut in "We know what you are after... and the anser is no" he rose to his feet and she sighed "I know this isnt something any of you will be comfatable with but.." she sighed "Im sure you have all lost people... Mickey you have told me about a girl.. you were close too". He nodded slightly "I know Stevie.. its a good cause but..." she smiled "Listen.. Im not going to force anyone into it.. but if you change your mind.. the form is up on the uniform notice board". She jumped at the voice behind her "Well Im in". She turned to face her fellow DS and smiled "Really?" she asked and Max nodded "I lost a lot of friends in CO19... anything I can do to help". She nodded as he walked away "Thanks Max" she turned back to face the three men and smiled "Well thats a turn up for the books". Banksy nodded "Who'd of thought it... DS Max Carter has a heart". She sighed "It would seem so". He smiled "I suppose I can have a photo taken... its something I believe in". Stevie grinned "Thanks Banksy". Terry rose to his feet "Im sorry Stevie.. I cant do it.." she sighed "Ok.. dont worry.." she glanced back to Mickey sat at his desk and walked over and perched onto the edge "Please just think about it.. Im going to check my list... just consider it". He sighed as she walked away "Serge"
she turned back and he chucked a pen to her "Put my name up" he smiled.
Stevie stood staring up at the board with the short list on it, starting with Nate, Ben, Max, Banksy and now Mickey she let out a slight sigh and jumped as the hand rested onto her back. "Many voulenteers?" he asked and she turned to face him "Not really... I dont see your name up there either". He pulled his pen out and moved towards the board and scribled his name "I told you I'd do it Moss" he smiled "And I will get Callum and Leons name up there for you by the end of the day.. anyone else you want?". She shook her head "That will give me eight... Im gunna try and get the DI on board... then it will be perfect.. I can double up.. I could do with you on my wall more than one month a year". He grinned "I bet... you got any ideas for the shots.. how you are gunna have us stood and things?". She nodded "I have a few ideas... " she paused as the man walked down the stairs. "We were just talking about you Gov..." he shook his head "No". She glanced at Smithy and he smirked before she turned back to Neil "You dont know what I was going to ask yet". He nodded "The same as you have asked every other man in this station and the answer is no... Im not being in some sleazy calender" she glared at him "Its going to be very tastefull" he shook his head "It will undermine me as an Inspector..." Smithy interupted "Im doing it". He glared at Neil as he nodded "That doesnt surprise me... Im sorry Stevie the answer is still no... Im happy to make a donation but Im not doing the calender" he walked off and she sighed turning back to Smithy "Great". Smithy smiled "Do you really wanna see Neil Manson with no clothes on anyway?" he grinned as she giggled before he headed back into his office leaving the small blonde stood alone.
A few days had passed and Stevie was still busy planning for the day of the shot and she couldnt be more excited about the actual event. "Hows it going?" she glanced up at Jo as she rested down next to her in the canteen. "Ok.. Im putting you down to buy a calender..." Jo sighed "They are far from my type..." Stevie cut in "I dont care... you are buying one... to support the charity". Jo sighed "So who are you most excited about getting their kit off?" the uniformed Sergeant asked and Stevie let out a child like giggle "Nate Roberts.. now that is a good looking boy but I know I shouldnt say it.. but there is a part of me which really wants to see Smithy". Jo smiled "He is a nice looking bloke". Stevie nodded "And its down to him its been such a success". Jo smiled "When is the photoshoot?" she asked and Stevie grinned "Tomorrow... Im starting with the group photos and then doing indvidual ones..." Jo cut in "Leave Smithy to last... you might get more than you bargined for.." the small blonde cut in "Its not like that". Jo smiled "Oh.. so you dont want him?". Stevie shook her head and Jo grinned "So you dont want me to get everyone else out the way while you get him near to naked and posing anyway you want?". Stevie laughed "I didnt say that did I?" she grinned "I cant wait until tomorrow".
