Chapter two

coach trip

"Wow. Beth we are going for three weeks not moving there". Will laughed at his own pun.

"This coming from the guy with three suitcases". Beth smiled brightly at him and stalked off to

catch up on whatever gossip Sally had picked up in the seven minutes they had been apart.

"So. What exactly is in them?" Nate had picked up where Beth had left off.

"last time I looked it was fake tan, moisturiser and hair gel". Smithy had joined the lads before the

last minute briefing.

"I don't know why I talk to you lot your always so mean to me". Will tried to pout.

"Don't pout Will, it'll give you wrinkles". Sally put in walking past giggling with Beth, Mel and

Millie.

"OI. Shut it you lot. Right first thing is first. We are going to load all the bags onto the coach and

then people, and Nate no bagging the back seat because you'll find a surprise with me and the DCI

sat there" everyone grimaced at the thought " OK, so if the lad's put there son first it tend to leave

more room for the girls, although it looks like PC Green will need a removal truck, and I do not

know what you are smiling at Emma your leaving at least two of your here". Gina finished her

speech and began liaising with the coach driver about where to put what.

After twenty minutes of strenuous pushing they were off.

Will and Nate sat together near the front racing on PSP's. Whilst Sally and Beth hooked there dogs

up on there DSi. Much to the enjoyment of most of the other officer's Millie was giving an in length

detail of how she graduated from Hendon, even Mel had resorted to talking to Emma who was sat

by herself behind them. Sam had offered to sit with her but in the end sat with Jo to wind up Stuart

regarding his latest haircut, which he claimed was inspired by Tom Cruise.

"Do you think Will would noticed if we crashed right now?". They had been travelling for four

hours and the atmosphere which was once apprehension was now subduing and genuinely quite

depressing.

"Beth. Do you have to say things like that?" Emma snapped at the petite brunette.

"And it has what to do with you exactly?" Sally had, had enough of Emma's high and mighty

routine and if everyone else was honest it was grating on them too.

"Sally just leave it. It was a conversation between me and you anyway and it is not like Will even

noticed we said his name". The two girls looked at the completely oblivious male who know had his

tongue hanging out in concentration and burst out laughing.

"Do you ever wish you could just let go and laugh like that". Mickey turned to Max who was sat

next to him. Max paused from typing up paperwork to answer the question knowing there wasn't a

right answer whatever he said would be wrong.

"Maybe, I mean there's a time and a place and if the girls have found something that amuses them

like that then they should laugh, but nah it's never really bothered me". Mickey seemed satisfied

with the answer. Well he didn't say anything else.

"Finally we are here". Rachel had never seen Diane move so fast.

"i know. I really need to stretch my legs, OMG is that a lake?" Beth practically screamed.

"Yes it is" All heads swung towards the pretty blond who was exiting what looked lie a Wendy

house.

"And you are?" Sally didn't mean to sound rude,

"Oh, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Jess the camp leader".

"Right. Well i'm Beth and she is Sally". Beth hugged the female, Jess took an instant liking to this

girl and had a feeling she was the type of girl you could shove in with a room with a bunch of

people she had never met and they'd be her best friend in ten minutes.

"Inspector Gina Gold. We spoke on the phone. Well actually we didn't me and your Mum did" Gina

walked to stand beside her.

"Well everyone. As you now know this is Jess she's our camp leader, now this camp is a little bus

because as PC Green so kindly and modestly pointed out it is situated on a lake. Will please cover

Beth's mouth for just a second. The two houses on either side is where you are going to live. Boys

in one girls in other. Oh and Will you can let go now".

AN: please read and review. Go on you know you want to... :). Thanks Jess and Meg as per usual.
