Old Friends

Seven months later Phil woke up with a heavily pregnant Sam. He rolled over and kissed her neck. She looked at him and smiled. "How are you feeling?" Phil asked her.

"Fat." Sam giggled.

"Fat but radiant."

"Oh you say the nicest things."

"It's true, you're still gorgeous." Phil rolled Sam on to her back before climbing on top of her avoiding the bump.

"Phil we don't have time, we've gotta go to work." Sam giggled.

"You shouldn't be at work in your condition." Phil moaned.

"I'm pregnant, not ill... Anyway I want to spend most of my maternity leave with the baby." Sam climbed out of bed and began to get dressed.

Sam and Phil arrived at work hand in hand as usual. While Sam was behind her desk bored out of her mind, Phil was working on a drugs case with DC Terry Perkins. They went into club where the drugs were supposedly being sold. Phil walked over to the barman. "Excuse me." He said. The barman turned around and Phil instantly knew the face.

"Michael... Michael Bates?" Phil asked.

"Phil Hunter, no way... How you bin mate, haven't seen you for... God how long has it bin?" Michael asked.

"Fifteen years... So what have you bin up to?"

"I've bin managing the club."

"So you've got yourself sorted then?"

"Yeah nearly there... What do you do now?"

"I'm a police officer, in fact thats why I'm here, a young girl died here last night becasue of a heroin overdose... Do you remember anything about it?"

"No it was my night off yesterday... But I'll get you a list of all the people that were working last night they might've seen something."

"Cheers mate."

"Who was that?" Terry asked Phil.

"Oh Michael, he's my best friend from high school and college." Phil said.

"He seemed nice."

"Yeah, I'm glad he's sorted himself out."

"What do you mean?"

"He used to be a gambling addict, he got into such debt and we lost touch after college so I never got to see if he helped himself but at least now I know."

Michael soon returned with a sheet of paper with names on. "Did I miss anything?" He asked seeing Phil and Terry huddled quite close together.

"No, not much." Phil said. Michael handed them the list.

"Right I'll get started on these and give you a few minutes."

"Cheers Terry." Terry walked away from them.

"So hows the family?" Phil asked.

"Errr... Well haven't spoken to my parents for while." Michael explained.

"Oh."

"Hey it doesn't matter, hows your mum and brother?"

"Yeah they're ok, I'm going to see mum on Friday with my wife."

"Oh, so you're going up Essex way are you?"

"Yeah why?"

"I don't suppose you could make a stop along the way could you."

"Yeah where?"

"The address is on the packaging... Thanks mate, it saves me buying a stamp." Michael handed Phil the package.

Terry returned minutes later. "Right I've spoken to a few but the rest are at home so we can make some calls when we get back to the station." He said.

"Yeah ok, I'll see you soon Michael." Phil said.

"Oh Phil, here's my number give us a call sometime, I'd love to meet your wife." Michael smiled.

"Yeah ok, see you soon."
