* This story is set nearly a year after PC Kerry Young's death, but there are some changes.
Cameron Tait returned from Australia to Sunhill for Kerry's funeral and was offered his job back from Superintendant O'Karo, which he accepted. Andrea Dunbar still died in the fire but never had the chance to tell Smithy anything about what Kerry had told her about the rape and Gabriel Kent never got found out for anything or jumped off the roof. He's still very much alive and pure evil in this story. As well as that, a selection of past officers are still in Sunhill and I'm writing as if they never left. This is only the second fan fic on The Bill I have wrote so please don't leave any negative reviews. Thanks and here goes...*
It was a cold and damp Friday morning and some of the officers at Sunhill police station were in their morning briefing, led by Inspector Gina Gold. As she came to a close, the officers stood up and starting filing their way out of the briefing room when the Inspector suddenly called out after them.
"Oh wait everyone, I almost forgot. We have got a new officer starting with us first thing on Monday morning, PC erm..."
She started shuffling through the papers in her hand, looking for the new recruits name before looking up and continuing...
"Well, you can find out her name when she arrives on Monday. Off you go!"
With that, everyone left the room and got on with the work they had been given for the day.
Later that evening, after a long and boring day, the officers were finishing up what they were working on before making their way down to the Canley Arms, the local pub where they had all become quite regular attenders. As they sat and sipped their drinks, the friends talked amongst themselves about their day. Just then, Gabriel walked in and sat himself down at the bar, making sure to catch the eyes of some of his colleagues on his way in. Nearly everyone had a reason why they disliked Gabriel and most of them were connected to the former PC Kerry Young whose one year anniversary of her death was approaching.
Cameron knew that Gabriel had raped Kerry but hated him every more due to the fact that she had never got round to reporting him. After Kerry's death, Cameron didn't bother telling anyone else about the rape because he knew no one would believe him.
Yvonne didn't like Gabriel because of the fuss he had made after Kerry had died, exclaiming that she'd died carrying his baby and that they were secret lovers. Kerry was Yvonne's best mate and she knew that Kerry hated every part of Gabriel so much that she hadn't even bothered to hide it.
A few of the other officers disliked Gabriel for their own personal reasons but the one person who had the most hate for him was Dale Smith, his Sergeant. After Kerry's death, Smithy found out from Cameron (when he started back at Sun hill a week after the funeral) that it was Gabriel who had encouraged Kerry to make an allegation of rape against Smithy but Cameron didn't have the guts to tell his sergeant that Gabriel had actually raped her just a few weeks after the situation had blown over. At first, Smithy was also convinced Gabriel was lying about Kerry's pregnancy but once MIT had confirmed she had been pregnant, he had no choice but to believe it. However, he still refused to believe that Kerry would have slept with Gabriel out of choice but he felt he could do nothing with his doubts. Even though Kerry had been gone for a few months short of a year, Smithy hadn't had another girlfriend or even got close to another girl since she'd gone. Gabriel had taken away the one woman he had truly loved.
Yep, there was an awful lot of hate towards that one PC!
After spending a good few hours socialising together, the friends and colleagues decided it was getting late, so called it a night.
The officers working the Saturday shift found it just as boring as the day before, and the Sunday wasn't that much better.
Finally Monday morning came and it was the start of a brand new week. As usual, all the uniformed officers were sitting in a room waiting for Inspector Gold to give them their morning briefing. All officers except two that is. PC Cameron Tait had been allowed to start an hour late due to an important doctor's appointment and...The new PC who was yet to turn up.
Late on the first day?
Not exactly a good impression!
"PC Harman, I would like you to cover in CAD today and PC Hemmingway, when PC Tait turns up, I'd like you both to do door to door questioning in Cradle Street to find any information on the break-in in Mr Joseph's house last night" orderedtheInspector.
Before she could say anything else, there was a knock on the door and a blonde woman entered into the room, aware that she not only late but the rest of the room were starting at her. She took a big gulp before speaking.
"Umm Marm? I'm really sorry I'm late!"
Inspector Gold gave a little smile before replying
"Ah you must be our new PC. Take a seat!" she directed, pointing to an empty chair at the end of the row of officers before carrying on with what she had to say.
"So, PC...Jones. Now that you've arrived, I want you to go down to the Jasmine Allen estate to find out exactly what is going on with the terrible and racist graffiti down there. Do door to door questioning if you must, I want it stopped. Sergeant Smith will accompany you and he'll look after you for the rest of the day!" .
Just then, there was another knock on the door and in walked PC Tait. He closed the door and as he turned around to take a seat, he stopped.
"PC Tait, this is our new officer, PC Jones" Gina informed him.
With that, the young PC turned her head anxiously to look at Cameron standing by the door. As she looked at him, his face looked puzzled.
"Rebecca?"
