Brooke Caleb sighed into her milky warm coffee cup. Her mind a mess of happiness, excitement, nervousness…
Tomorrow would be the day when she went from being Brooke Caleb to PC Brooke Caleb of Sunhill Police Station. She grinned to herself. PC Brooke Caleb.
Her entire life, she had felt like a waste of space. Maybe that was because she was brought up being told she was a waste of space. Her entire life, she had been abused. Her entire life had been a mess. Her Dad's constant hitting and punching, her Mum – constantly scared and hiding and not standing up for herself, her older sister – who had killed herself when she was twelve. Nothing in her life had gone right. Her whole family was a bunch of screw-ups. Her Dad died from an overdose two days ago and Brooke couldn't have cared less. For the first time in her life she felt safe.
She was going to help people like her. Become a police officer had been her dream. She'd always needed this, and she wanted to make sure anyone who suffered got the justice and peace they deserved.
She promised herself she wouldn't get too personally involved in anything, she would do her job. That was all that could be asked of her.
Though sometimes promises get broken…
