Chapter 1: Wondering

Millie pushed back the door and stepped into the CID and scanned the room looking for Jo, instead she found a very solemn-looking Max Carter starring at his computer. "Excuse me sarge, have you seen Jo around, Smithy just sent me up with these letters for her" she asked him with a soft smile on her lips.

He glanced up at her from his computer screen, still with a blank look on his face, "yeah you just missed her, she and Stevie had to go and talk to someone about the break-in last week" he said returning to his computer screen.

"Oh right" she said annoyed at his lack of interest "I'll just leave them on her desk, can you tell her I put them there?" she asked him, trying to catching his gaze.

"Uh huh" he replied, it was as if she wasn't even there.

"Uhh, ok thank you" she said quietly and with that, she walked out and down the stairs back to uniform. "What the hell is that mans problem" she wondered to herself as she walked.
