The Dating Game
Summary: Sam pursues a relationship with Greg, the estate agent, but why is Phil Hunter so jealous of Sam's new found happiness? Set after the episode where Sam meets Greg while out dealing with a missing persons case with Phil and Terry. The only difference between this fic and the episode that was shown is Sam doesn't cancel the date.
Chapter 1- Jealousy?
Sam Nixon came back from the Estate Agents looking very pleased with herself. Greg, the estate agent had asked her out on a date and she'd accepted. She still felt a bit uneasy however. The last man she'd had a relationship with was Peter Cavanaugh, the corrupt Australian cop. That had been a complete and utter disaster and Sam was feeling a bit nervous. Men were no more than distractions in her life, mainly because she was dedicated to her job. 'Hey, Sam,' Phil said, bringing her back to reality.
'Hey, Phil,' Sam replied.
'What's up? You seem a bit preoccupied,' Phil said.
'Greg asked me out on a date and I accepted,' Sam replied.
'Greg. You mean the bloke from the estate agency?' Phil asked.
'Yes,' Sam replied.
Phil's face fell. Sam noticed this almost instantly. 'Why the long face? You're back with Cindy so you have no reason to be unhappy,' she said.
'I just think that you could do better than him,' Phil replied.
'Like who?' Sam was intrigued.
'That wouldn't be for me to say,' Phil said and he left CID.
Sam sat back down at her desk. She was confused by what Phil had said. Could he possibly be jealous of Greg? She really didn't know. It really wasn't like Phil to show his sensitive side to anyone, let alone a woman. Phil was quite an aggressive person, arrogant, cocky sometimes. She saw Phil as a friend, nothing more. Sam decided to ignore Phil's comments and look forward to her date this evening.
Greg came and picked her up from the station at about 7:00 that evening. 'You alright?' he asked as Sam approached.
'I'm fine, you ready?' Sam replied.
Greg held out his arm and Sam took it as they walked out of the station. Phil was looking out of the windows upstairs in CID, watching as Sam and Greg walked over to her car and drove off.
'What are you looking at?' Terry asked as he came up behind Phil.
'Ahh, nothing,' Phil lied.
Terry looked out the window and saw Sam and Greg driving off. 'So…nothing eh,' Terry remarked. 'Who's Sam driven off with then?'
'Greg,' Phil replied, with a slight distaste.
'The bloke from the estate agency that the dead guy worked for?' Terry asked.
The dead guy, Kemal, worked at the same Estate Agency as Greg. Sam and Greg found the poor lad, dead in one of the flats. That was when Greg asked Sam if she wanted to arrange a viewing and she accepted.
'What does she see in him in the first place?' Phil asked.
'They haven't started going out yet. It could just be a date, you don't know whether she really likes him or not,' Terry replied.
'Yeah maybe,' Phil said.
