Out on Loan

Chapter 1

It had just gone 9am when DS Andy Roper came rushing into M.I.T. He'd just put his belonging's onto his desk when his Boss DCI Gill Murray appeared at his side.

"Andy. Morning".

"Morning Gill. Sorry I'm a bit late. Bloody traffic".

"Oh. It's fine. I need to have a word. Would you come through to the office".

"Sure Gill".

Andy followed her through to her office and closed the door behind him.

"Take a seat". She instructed.

Andy did as he was told and took a seat across from her desk. Gill walked round and sat on the edge of the desk so that she was infront of him.

"I'll get straight to the point Andy. The cock-up between Janet and yourself regarding my appointment with the coroner was inexcusable. Since then the tension between you both is still very much evident. I said back then that one of you would have to go".

"You mean me".

"I'm sorry Andy. You know it was your screw-up, not Janet's. You both need to put all the crap that's happened between you behind you and move on with your lives".

"Where are you sending me".

"DSI Julie Dodson over at Syndicate 3 is looking for a new Sargent. I gave her your name. Now she was very impressed with your crudentials and she'd like to give you a weeks trial".

"I see".

"It's for the best Andy".

"When do I start".

"She's like you there as soon as possible".

"Right. Well. I guess I'll just go pack up my stuff then. Will you let her know I'll start first thing tomorrow".

"Sure. It's been a privilage to have you on my team Andy. I just wish things had worked out. For all of us. No doubt I'll see you from time to time".

"Thanks Gill. Will you let the others know what's happening".

"Ofcourse. Good luck Andy".

Andy and Gill shook hands before he walked out into the incident room, grabbed a cardboard box and started gathering up his stuff. Kevin, Lee, Pete and Mitch looked on. Wondering what the hell was happening. Janet looked at him with sympathy in her eyes. Knowing all too well what was taking place and Rachel looked on with a half smile. Slightly pleased that he was going. Andy looked around them all giving them a smile as he left. His eyes lingering on Janet just a little longer than the others.

"Take care Janet". He smiled.

"Yeah. You too Andy". She said. Smiling back with tears in her eyes.
