Dennis entered the Police Station at Ashfordly to find his new team of five officers waiting for him standing as they had been ordered to in a row in the duty room he smiled slightly he was still feeling a bit sore about the fact he had been demoted back to uniform and he wasn't afraid to make people aware of his quick fire temper which was his reason for turning up as uniform Sargent at Ashfordly he sighed and putting down his briefcase inspected the troops then let them return to their duties Phil and Alf went back out onto the beat whilst Mike went to investigate a break in leaving Steve who was on light duties because he was not feeling well to man the radio and the phones Steve got up mid way through the afternoon and reaching for his crutches made his way slowly up to the tea room to make himself a mug of tea before he made his he was careful to see if his Sargent wanted anything knowing that had been one of his downfalls when it came to their previous Sargent Raymond Craddock.
Steve made the tea and hobbled into Dennis's office placing his mug onto the corner of his neatly arranged desk on the wooden coaster that Merton had placed there which Steve was surprised to see had a Army regiment badge carved into it's polished wooden surface.
Steve grinned at Merton then left the office hurriedly feeling his cheeks burning he knew Dennis was bound to have noticed his cheeks having flushed pink and he hoped that the reason why would become obvious soon enough he had just settled back down into his chair when Mike walked in and he winked at Mike who sighed and sat down at his desk alongside Steve.
"Our new Sargent served in my regiment in the army and plus I think I..." Steve blushed and Mike laughed "Your not serious?" he asked and Steve nodded "I think I have fallen in love with him already" he whispered
"You are such a flirt" Mike said slapping Steve on the arm and laughing as Steve hit him back.
