Phil walked towards his desk, only to find Nicole sitting there, working on his computer. He walked up behind her. "Comfortable?"

Nicole jumped, and spun round on her chair. "Hi Phil. You err you made me jump" she looked up at him "Comfortable?"

"Yeah, you know you're at my desk on my computer…"

"Oh right. Sorry, it's just well I haven't exactly got my own desk you know. Hope you don't mind"

"No, you're alright. What are you doing anyway?" He bent down to her level "Plastic surgery?"

"Not for me"

"Oh, I was gonna say you're the last person who needs it" glancing at her.

"Aww bless. Well you know that guy that we arrested earlier, the one who...cut me" she said, showing frustration in the last part.

"I'm-I'm sorry about that"

"About what?"

"You know you getting injured by him"

"And your sorry about that because?"

"Well if I hadn't approached him. You wouldn't of, well you know"

"No its fine, really. Of course I have to buy a new shirt and jacket but, any excuse for a shopping trip" she said smiling at him

He smiled back. "So what's this about plastic surgery?"

"Oh right. Well that guy we arrested back there-"

"Roger Gibson"

"Who?"

"He's the one who we arrested, that's all we've got out of him, name and address. He aint talking till he's got his solicitor, who can't be with him for another half hour."

"Great" Nicole said sarcastically. "Right so anyway, this Roger Gibson. I totally recognised his voice from somewhere. Then it hit me, back in my old station, I once arrested a man. Elliot Soyer who was convicted of Rape, but he was released a few months after. He was somehow seen as innocent all of a sudden. Don't get me started on that. So I'm looking up people who have had plastic surgery. My friends a plastic surgeon, he's let me use his password and stuff before for cases. Bless him. It's not exactly breaking the law… There Elliot Soyer! Yep total revamp on the face, and on the 28th of March 2003. So that's about 5 months after he was released. Ha!"

"But you don't know that Roger is Elliot, could be just a coincidence"

"Well this is where we find out" Nicole typed and clicked on the computer until it came up with a page that showed people who have had names changed, however not for legal reasons like witness protection. They were ultra classified.

"Let me guess, you have a friend who's a judge"

"Good guess" she replied while searching "Oh yes! Go me!"

"What he's in there?"

"Damn right! Look!" Phil bent down again and read the details.

"Your right" he said while turning his head so they were both facing each other. Faces inches away. There was some kind of tension between them both. Nicole studied his face slightly. Phil looked at her lips then back at her eyes. "Well done" he got up and walked away.

Nicole just sat there "Thanks" she said to herself. She went back to researching but Phil was always at the back of her mind. She didn't like it.

Later on that day Gary approached Nicole in the hallway. "Nicole" she looked up from her files that she had in her arms. "Gary. Hi"

"We've got him!"

"Great!...got who exactly Gary?"

"Stephan King!"

"Oh my God. Great! How?"

"Well While Phil and I were questioning Roger Gibson or Elliot...well you know what I mean. We put some pressure on him well I did. Coz you know I'm like, tough and that." Nicole smiled at Gary, thinking he's just so sweet. "And he cracked and told us everything! Where he is, what he's wearing everything but his shoe size!"

"Gary that's fantastic!"

"So were off to go get him, that's why I came to find you. You know to tell you we gotta go and get him." He looked at her.

"Oh Gary, I can't. Well not right now. I have some stuff to do here. But it will take me like 5 minutes. I wont be long I promise"

"Yeah but we have to go now." Gary said not fully understanding why she wasn't going.

"Gary please" she looked at him with 'puppy dog' eyes.

"Oh alright then. But don't be long"

"I wont I promise!" Nicole said sounding more cheerful.

"Well good. I'll see you soon then." Gary said sounding pleased with himself, almost seeing him as the hero.

"Thanks Gary" she called after him when he was walking to meet Phil in the car park.

Gary walked into the car park smiling, but his smile soon faded when he saw Phil. He wasn't going to be pleased that he let Nicole off the hook for a bit. "Where's Nicole!" Phil demanded as Gary walked towards him. Gary avoided eye contact with him and got in the car. "Gary!" Phil said showing his annoyance. Phil knew what happened, Nicole had looked at him all puppy eyed and beautiful… then again it's not that hard for her to do that, look beautiful. He thought to himself.

Phil and Gary pulled into the club for a third time that day, only this time they were going to get a result. Just before they arrived Nicole had set out in her car.

Gary had gotten out of the car first, Phil was sorting something out in the car. Gary happened to see another man get out of his car. Gary looked closer, then opened the door and bent down to see Phil. "Phil. Look" Phil looked and sure enough it was Stephan King "Go on then" Phil said to Gary still slightly annoyed about Nicole not being here. "Oh right yeah" Gary shut the door and started to approach the man. But Stephan heard the door slam shut on some car he turned and saw Gary walking towards him. He recognised him as the copper he saw yesterday. He went and met him halfway. "Gary Best, if memory serves."

"Yeah that's right. So we had your friend Elliot Soyer down in the station earlier" Gary saw Stephan's eyes widen. Next thing Stephan was shoving his brief case into Gary so he stumbled back and Stephan ran off into his car and started the engine. Phil who had just got out of his car, darted back in and quickly pulled up besides a winded Gary. Before they knew it they were speeding after Stephan down the road until they lost him at some construction work. Phil slammed his hands on the steering wheel "For fuck sake!"

Nicole was coming to a T-junction when she saw a black Audi speed past, one that she remembers Stephan King owns. She had been doing her research alright. She sped after him recognising the registration plate. Of course Porsches go faster than Audis so Nicole was right on his tail. Until he stopped at a dead end got out and ran down an alley. So naturally she had to get out and follow him, she hated leaving her car unattended in bad neighbourhoods. But she had to so she got out and sprinted after him. No way was she gonna have her car nicked because of some creep.

Phil who had eventually gotten out of the construction area, had been following both Nicole and Stephan but not very close. By the time Nicole and Stephan were halfway down the alley, Nicole had just about caught up with him. And Gary and Phil pulled up beside the two cars. They quickly got out and ran down the alley assuming that's where they went.

Nicole grabbed Stephan and shoved him up against a fence. She whipped out her handcuffs and clasped them around his wrists. Gary and Phil made it in time to see Nicole reciting the arrest. They both looked at each other showing signs of being impressed with the new girl. If it wasn't for her they'd still be at a dead end most likely.

So back at the station when they were all out of there work clothes, well Nicole anyway. Gary asked "so how about a drink to celebrate your first day?"

"Sure!" she replied
