Leaving the Past in the Past

DI Sam Nixon drove her car to Sunhill Police Station. 'New year, new start.' She thought. Everything that had happened the previous year was forgotten, especially Stuart Turner. She also wanted to forget about her brief romance with Phil Hunter. He had told her that he loved her, she felt the same way but she knew that she wouldn't cope if he ever hurt her. But she also couldn't deny her feelings she still had for him.

She made her way up to CID and to Jack Meadows' office. She knocked on the door. "Come in." Called Jack's voice. When he saw Sam his face broke into a smile. He stood up and walked over to hug her. "How are you?" He asked.

"I'm o.k thanks, what happened to Neil anyway?" Sam asked.

"He was given a DCI job at MIT."

"Why me though?"

"Well, you've been a DI before, you know the station and I trust you."

In the office Jack informed Sam of what had been happening during her break. "...Oh yes and Jo's back from Manchester." Said Jack.

"Really, I'll speak to her later, what about Stuart?" Sam asked.

"He's still here but I've told him to leave you alone otherwise I'll get him transferred."

"Why couldn't you just do that straight away?" Jack laughed.

"You ready to face everyone." Sam nodded, hiding the fact that she was scared of facing Phil again. She didn't want to see his hurt again.
