For Beth, I know it is not the best of stories to dedicate to somebody to try and cheer them up but I hope it shows she is loved and people care about her, a lot.
Enjoy!
Washing down her curry with the sharpness of the dry white wine, the guilt of today's news stung Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman like a knife clean through the abdomen.
In just two minutes the worst day in the history of her adulthood would be over and it could not come quickly enough.
This time yesterday she had practically everything, loyal friends who she held dear, even if some were now absent, her health and she even had her mother. Now it was all gone. One by one she was losing everyone and everything that ever meant something to her. Frist she lost her beloved father the best man in the world, then Jack Halford, the second best man in the world disappeared off the face of the world, then that funny, uniquely strange man Brian Lane up sticks and went. Now it was her turn to walk away from the Met's Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.
