Ramani fan fic.
Ramani sighed as she walked into CID carrying the normal load of folders. Her orange bag was hanging off her arm, causing her to tip slightly as she walked. The usual thing greeted her, everyone in deep conversation either with each other or on the phone. No "Hello" or "How are you Ramani?" Just a slight nod of the head, not that she expected anymore, it's what she was used to and she would not change it for the world. Terry, her closest friend, was currently in Spain with his partner Lucy….Ramani was very confused by him and Lucy, one minute he wants to finish it next thing she knows they're engaged to be married and Lucy is pregnant.
DC Jo Masters and DS Samantha Nixon walked into CID laughing to each other, they both looked up at Ramani and mouthed "Hello", Ramani enjoyed Jo and Sam's company but always felt like the odd one out. She smiled back at them and dumped everything onto her desk, labels decorated her computer monitor all reading the same thing: "Ramani so and so called" "Ramani somebody rang for you", maybe she longed for a message from Terry she didn't know. Neil Manson walked up to Ramani's desk and she looked up at him, "Morning Guv."
"Morning Ramani, busy as usual I see. We've had a lot of calls for you while you've been on your training course." Neil looked impressed, Ramani just longed to hear from Terry.
"I see Guv, who from? Terry?"
"Afraid not, he'll be sunning himself in Spain too busy to phone work."
Work? Ramani didn't mean work she meant her, the one he once told he loved, the 'Only One' her, not work.
"Absolutely, of course. Who was it then Guv?"
"A young girl by what JT told me, he told her you were on a training course and were getting back today and she said she'll come in then."
"Today? Oh ok then, well I'll probably be doing all this today." She said nodding towards a mountain of paper work.
"Same here Ramani, well must get on then. Bye."
"Bye Guv." Neil Manson was renowned for his lack of empathy although strangely lately he'd changed. Many had commented on his change of character but right now Ramani didn't really care.
The morning passed slowly for Ramani who by 1pm was only on her second file. She longed for something to get her out of it but she knew the paperwork would still be there when she got back. Her phone hadn't rang all morning and she was finding it hard to concentrate on an empty stomach so she grabbed her coat and went down to the canteen. It was buzzing as it usually was at lunchtime, 5 or 6 PCs sat round a table talking about usual PC stuff. Sounded like Roger had been winding someone up again, Ramani smirked to herself. She grabbed herself a sandwich and sat at a table, she looked up as someone sat next to her, June Ackland.
"Hey June, you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine thanks, how are you? How was the course?"
"I'm ok thanks, the course was very….interesting. Although it seemed like others there didn't think so." Ramani took a bite of her sandwich.
"Did you hear about all the phone calls the stations been receiving for you? It sounds like someone is desperate to see you."
"Yes I've heard, I don't know who it is though. I don't know many young girls."
"Well she's coming in today so you'll know soon. I better go now, custody beckons. See you later."
"Yeah bye June." Ramani looked as June left the canteen. She found June Ackland a true inspiration, she'd been through so much and always came out fighting. Similar to people Ramani has to deal with in CSU. June Ackland had been the officer in charge of CSU when Ramani had arrived, she was a great help to her on her first few days. A bit like a mum.
