Hiya, this is my first ever fanfic for The Bill so these 2 chapters are a tester to see if anyone likes it/ things that annoy anyone - so let me know what you think!!

The pairings of this fic are: Emma/Will, Phil/Sam, Beth/Dan, Honey/Lewis

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Bill (so don't sue)


It was a rainy Monday morning for the officers at Sunhill, not like there it wasn't unusual for there to be rain or that many officers were working in the station at the moment thanks to a flu bug that had hit more than half the station.

Uniform sat in the briefing room waiting for the meeting to begin and to be told their partners for the day. The room wasn't as full as usual but the room was still as loud. Will however was quiet by his normal standards. While Dan and Lewis talked about last nights antics and yesterday's hectic shift Will sat only half listening. If he was being completely honest he wasn't feeling too great. His head was beginning to ache around his temples and he had a horrible sick sensation in his stomach.

"Ok troops, quieten down." Smithy shouted as he entered the room.

"So it looks like today is going to be calmer than yesterday's fun-filled shift of riots at the Trawley estate." He smiled sarcastically.

This comment lead to a chorus of cheering which only seemed to make the ache in Will's head worse. Will tried to hide discomfort with a tight smile but he couldn't quite conceal the involuntary wince he made at the increase of noise. Smithy noticed this but said nothing, not wanting to put all of the attention of the room onto the young PC by asking if he was ok.

Smithy than began to read out the pairings for the day, "... and lastly since Roger is sick I want Lewis and Will to work together today. Ok, that's it please leave."Smithy sighed.

Will winced again as he stood up, the pounding in his head was getting worse with every movement he made.

"Alright man! When was the last time we were paired together?" Lewis said while hitting Will's shoulder, obviously pleased. It wasn't as if he didn't like being paired with Roger, the two had become good friends after a poor start but Lewis like the idea of spending time with Will, it made a nice change.

"Yeah, em look I'll meet you in the yard, I need to grab my phone from my locker." Will replied, glad he was working with Lewis today as well.

Lewis nodded ok and turned around to leave with Honey and Dan.

Smithy bumped into Will as he was walking towards to the locker room.

"Will are you alright? Please don't tell me you're getting this bug too?" Smithy half - pleaded, half-joked, taking the opportunity to make sure he was ok now that Will was alone.

"I'm ok, just tired," Will smiled weakly.

"Well take it easy, I don't want to be another officer down." Smithy said, rolling his eyes when Nikki shouted his name from the desk.

"Duty calls," he grumbled causing Will to laugh softly as he began to walk toward the locker room. Once he got inside the room he splashed some cold water on his face, trying to wake himself up and clear his head which currently felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool.

"HEY WILL!" Lewis yelled from the car as soon as he saw Will step onto to the yard, "WE'VE GOT TO GO, DOMESTIC AT PARKFIELD GROVE!"

Will sighed before beginning to jog towards the car. It was going to be a long day...
