Disclaimer: I do not own anything associated with Water Rats. The characters in this story that you recognise probably belong to Hal McElroy, Southern Star and the Nine Network. If there are characters you do not recognise, then they belong to me [so don't steal them unless you ask me first].

Author's Notes: There was a letter written from Jack to Rachel, and then from Rachel to Jack [to read these you must visit Under the Bridge]. This was my first attempt at Ratfic, and I just thought it would be good to write a letter with Helen warning Rachel like she always does.

Rachel

I'll get straight to the point - you and Jack. This is as a friend, not as Sergeant Blakemore. I just think that this is not right for you. Coppers and coppers don't mix, I've told you that many times before and you know that it's true, so why do you keep mixing work and pleasure?

I don't want you to think that I'm always watching you and trying to control you, but I've seen what you've gone through before. There's Jonathon for starters, and then John, and then Frank and now Jack. You've always admitted that Knocker was a mistake and I know you'll say there was nothing between you and Frank, but when he left I could see through your cool and composed exterior and you were hurting. I just don't want to see that again when Jack goes. And he will go one day.

With everything else you're so precise but it seems that with your partners you're always left stranded. I know that you always like to be in control and you don't express your emotions but you always seem to let your men see past that façade and you've done it with Jack as well and I'm just worried for you.

Please just think about it and don't do anything stupid. If you ever want to talk, bring a bottle of wine over to my place.

Helen
