Chapter One

"Stevie..." she sighed as she placed her things to her desk, she hadnt even been in the office five minutes and the newly appointed DCI Neil Manson was already demanding from her "My office" she headed out of CID following the man to his office just along the corridor. "Yes Gov" she smiled as she pushed the door closed. "The new DI is starting today.. I need someone to work with him.." she smiled as he continued "Some officers may remember him.. he was a DS here a few years ago.. a little before your time.. he tranferred to Special Projects and now we have the pleasure of him once again". Stevie nodded as he handed her a piece of paper "He is a bit...of a loose cannon.. so keep him in check.." she smiled "Me?". He nodded "Yes you DS Moss.. the Super and I are both in court for the day.. go on" he gestured to the door and she sighed to herself as she walked out and headed back to CID. She made her way over to Mickey and put the piece of paper infront of him, he glanced over the information and smiled "Well.. he has certainly gone up in the world..." she smiled slightly "You know him?" he nodded "Yeah I know him... just follow the line of women.. you should have no trouble finding him.." she smiled "Is he good looking then?" he sighed "I wouldnt really know but he had a bit of a way with the ladies..". She rested down onto his desk "Anyone I would know?". He nodded "Actually.. yeah.." the voice from behind her startled her "DS Moss..." she turned to face the uniformed Inspector and smiled to Mickey "I will see you in a bit". She walked over towards Smithy, all thoughts of the new DI forgotten. "Hey.." he smiled as she walked over and held the door open for her, she walked through and smiled "Where we going?". He smiled "Coffee.. I want to pick your brains on a case". She nodded "I have only got five minutes.. Im working with the new DI when he gets here..." she smiled "Lucky you.. I dont think you met him before did you?". She shook her head "No.. Mickey said he's a loose cannon". he nodded "He aint afraid to fly solo.. just make sure he dont drag you under".

Staring up at the building infront of him, he sighed, he never ever thought he would be back in Sunhill station. He made many mistaks the first time here. He had made some in special projects which is why he found himself standing outside the building. Seven years had passed since his time as a DS and although he had missed some of the people he worked with back then, he had cut all contact with the friends he had made here and made a fresh start. He gulped as he saw a few PCs leave. He didnt know them. One looked a little familiar but this was all new to him, a complete fresh start in a place that had been his second home for more than five years. He headed through the doors and into reception. He moved over to the young blonde PC behind the counter. "Im looking for a.." he glanced at the piece of paper "DS Stevie Moss..." she smiled "I will track her down for you.." he cut in "If you buzz me through I can do it myself... Im the knew DI..." he held his hand out to her "DI.." he was interupted by the voice behind him "Phil Hunter.. who would of thought it eh?" Terry smiled as he headed over to the man. "I fancied a change..." he glanced at Kirsty and smiled "And it seems I came to the right place for it". Kirsty held her hand out to him "PC Kirsty Knight". He smiled "DI Phil Hunter" he finaly introduced himself. "So what you doing hanging about down here?" Terry asked and he smiled "Waiting for a DS Stevie Moss?". Terry smiled "You stand her waiting for her.. you will be here next week... come on.. I'll help you track her down". The two men smiled to the young PC as they headed into the station.

Smithy had got them both a cup of coffee from the machine before heading into his office with the small blonde detective. He had questioned her on his case, to which she had offered him the same opinion as his own, but he always loved to get the small blonde to himself, even if it was only for a little while and to share a cup of coffee while they chatted about work. A few years had passed since they had worked deeply undercover together and although they had drifted apart slightly lately he still adored the small DS. He had after all risked his career when it came to the beating she took from Jason Devlin. "So how did it go with the bird the other night?" she smiled, dragging him from the deep thought he had fallen into. "I struck out.. she werent really interested" Stevie smiled "She was all over you when I left the pub". He nodded "Shes not really my type". She smiled "Not your type Smithy... she was gorgeous" he nodded slightly as she giggled to herself "If shes not your type I really think there is something your not telling me.." he smiled "It was nothing to do with her.. I want more... Im past the quick fling... which was all she'd of been.. I want something serious". Stevie smiled "So you turned down sex? When did you last get your leg over?". He shrugged his shoulders "It aint been that long... a year maybe". She laughed "You must certainly know what you are doing with your hand... to turn down your first shag in a year". He smirked "Shall we change the subject?" he asked and she smiled "D'you want to go to the pub tonight?". He nodded "Yeah.. I could use a drink already.." she smiled "Couldnt you always".

They had checked CID and Phil had spoke to the few officers he had previously worked with before heading down to the canteen. Terry sighed as they walked from the empty canteen and smiled "There is one more place... Stevie is always there.. its the best bet" Terry smiled. He moved over to the office door and knocked gently "Inspector Smith?" Phil questioned "Dont tell me Smithy is still here?" he asked. "Come in". The familiar accent clarified the question for him and Terry smiled as he pushed the door open. Seeing the small blonde sitting in the chair oppisite Smithy, Terry smiled "Its actually Stevie Im after Gov". She smiled to Smithy "We done?" she asked. He nodded as he rose to his feet and headed to where Phil had stepped into the office "Well well... the wonder cop returns..." he smiled holding his hand out to the former DS. "Smithy..." he smiled to the Inspector before to the small blonde as Smithy gestured to her "DS Stevie Moss... DI Phil Hunter". She held her hand out to the man and grinned "Its nice to meet you..." he nodded "Well we should of been meeting twenty minutes ago... we have been looking everywhere for you" she smiled "Im sorry Gov" Smithy cut in "Sorry thats my fault... I have been bending her ear... you can have her back now". She glanced at Smithy, flashing him a thankfull smile "Ok.." Phil smiled to Smithy "I will catch up with you later..". Smithy nodded "See ya" he grinned at Stevie as she followed the two men from the office and he pushed the door closed. He knew that Phil would most probably make everyones life in CID difficult, he was a difficult man but he had no doubt the tiny DS could handle him.

She followed the DI into his new office and smiled "Im sorry... erm.. me and Smithy were just talking" he smiled "Is that all you were doing?" she nodded "Yes.. we are friends.. nothing more Gov" he shook his head "Its fine DS Moss... now what have you been working on?" she gestured towards her desk "I have an ongoing investigation into a fraud... a rape.. but I have that almost wrapped up.." he cut in "And what was the case you were talking to Smithy about?" she thought back to the earlier conversation and smiled "An armed robbery.. last night in a restaurant on Station Road East..." he nodded "Well we will take a look at that.." she cut in "I think Smithy is happy to run it actually". Phil smiled "I bet he is... but an armed robbery.. thats a CID case". She sighed as the man walked from the office and she pulled her phone from her pocket she had to give Smithy some warning that the new DI was about to take over his case. She followed him from CID and smiled as they walked into the Inspector heading the other way, he glared at her and she sighed slightly. "Whats this I hear of a robbery?" Phil smiled snapping Smithys attention back to him "Unifrom are handling it". Phil shook his head "Not now.. Stevie and I are running it" Smithy shook his head "You cant just over rule me descisions.." he cut in "Shall we take it to the Super... see what he reckons?". Smithy sighed "Briefing room... ten minutes.. I will get you up to speed". Phil nodded "Thank you" he glanced at Stevie before heading off and down the stairs. Smithy turned to her and she smiled weakly "Im sorry.. he tricked it out of me Smithy... he asked what we were talking about". He sighed "You been filling him in on my sex life too then... for fuck sake Stevie" she sighed as he walked off after the DI, before jogging to catch him up.

She slipped into the back of the briefing room and smiled at Smithy slightly as he briefed the room on the man whos picture was being handed round. "As most of you know... this is Martin Yorke and he is manager of Jenkins bar on Station Road.. now we believe he set the robbery up.. he is in mountains of debt and we believe that this afternoon the men who robbed him have a pick up planned for their payment..." he sighed as Phil rose to his feet "Right I want you two" he gestured between Kirsty and Nate "Get yourself in the restaurant.. grab a table.. order some food" he gestured to Rodger "I want you covering the back" he grinned to Smithy "Inspector Smith and DS Moss in a car out the front..". Smithy shook his head "DI Hunter.." he cut in "After all Martin Yorke met you yesterday". Smithy sighed before glaring at Stevie, she diverted her eyes to the floor. "I will be at the bar with Sergeant Masters.." Phil continued glancing briefly at the red haired Sergeant sat next to him. "Any questions?". The room was silent and he nodded "Right off you go". Smithy glared at him "This is my investigation" Phil nodded "Yes Smithy... and if I had gone to the Super... it would be CID's completly". Stevie smiled as Phil passed her before she turned her attention back to Smithy "Im sorry" she smiled and he nodded slightly "Come on Moss... I spose there are worse things than sitting in a car with you for the afternoon".

"So come on..." Phil lent into the Sergeants ear and smiled "Smithy?" he asked and she shook her head, keeping her eyes on Martin Yorke "What about him?". He laughed "Oh come on Jo.. we both know he had trouble keeping his hands off the ladies.." she laughed "And like you didnt?". He smiled slightly "Im a changed man... ready to settle down.." he smiled slightly as she glanced at him briefly "I believe it when I see it". He nodded "Pigs might fly.." they both laughed slightly and he sighed "Is he with the blonde?". She smiled "Kirsty?" she asked glancing over to the blonde PC. He shook his head "No.. DS Moss?" he asked and she smiled "There friends". He nodded "Thats what she said". Jo smiled "Why are you so interested?" she asked and he shook his head "Im not... I just like to know where I can find my staff". She laughed "Well you can always find Stevie not far from Smithy". He smiled slightly watching Martin once again "Where did Sam go?". Jo smiled "Sam Nixon?". He nodded "I had no idea she had left.. I havent spoke to her since I left". Jo smiled "She transfered to the Child Exploitation Unit.. about four years ago". He smiled as two men approached Martin "Looks like we are in buisiness".

"You are going to owe me a lot of drinks tonight Moss..." he grinned at the small blonde sat in the car next to him "I cant believe Im sitting outside on my own operation" she smiled slightly "Im sorry... I really didnt realise he would.." Smithy cut in "Thats cause you dont know Phil Hunter". She nodded "But Im going to arent I... Im half tempted to transfer into uniform.. I always thought you were the most difficult man in Sunhill but compared to him.. you're a piece a cake". He smiled "Thanks..." she smiled "Why did he leave?". He shrugged his shoulders slightly "He got offered a promotion... and he had a lot of history". She grinned "Thats sounds interesting..." he smiled "Gossip will get you know where" he smiled and she shook her head "I disagree.. and if I dont have him to gossip about... who knows what might slip out". He sighed "He hated Stuart Turner.. they butted heads continuosly... Phil even got sent to uniform for a few weeks over it". She smiled "Thats it?" she asked "And I thought it was hot gossip". He smiled "He had a thing with Sam Nixon". She grinned "You're joking?" he shook his head "Nope... they were on and off for years..." she smiled "What about now?". He shrugged his shoulders "I have no idea... and to be honest... I dont care about Phil Hunters sex life". She smiled "No.. yours needs a bit of attention first". He smirked accross at her and smiled as he watched her tap away on her phone "What you doing?" he asked. "Inviting Sam out for a drink tonight". He shook his head "Dont". She nodded "I love playing cupid". He smiled "I thought we were going for a drink" she nodded "We are.. and Im bringing Sam... and you Inspector Smith are in charge of getting DI Hunter there". He was about to protest when his radio jumped to life "All units Go Go Go".


Ok, Im really unsure on Phil and Sam as I have never written them before so not sure where to go with it. So any reviews would be greatly appreciated? Thanks Jodie xx
