Chapter 4

Two weeks later, Peter was fully recovered from his wounds and was ready to go back to work. At 7:45am on a sunny Monday morning, Peter woke to the most familiar scent of Sam's new perfume. He leaned over to her and kissed her. "Morning babe" he said stroking the side of her moist cheek, "Morning honey, you ok" replied Sam returning the kiss, "of course I am why wouldn't I be?" "Well, it is your first day back at work since your attack, I just wanted to know if you were ready" "that's very thoughtful of you but don't worry I am ready, I can't wait to get back but it's you I have to thank for that" "what do you mean?" Sam asked looking puzzled "I mean, if it wasn't for you taking such good care of me, I would probably still be in a hospital bed thank you" "Oh its nothing, it's my job as your girlfriend to make sure you get the very best TLC around. Anyway if we don't hurry up, we'll be late and I'm sure you don't want to be late on your first day back now do you" "no of course I don't now come on let's get ready" With that one sentence, Sam and Peter climbed out of bed, took a quick shower together before going downstairs for breakfast and heading out the door.

An hour later, Sam and Peter pulled up outside Sun Hill Police Station. They hugged each other before getting out of the car and entering the station…hand in hand. Once up in CID, they were met by DCI Meadows welcoming them back "Welcome back Peter, it's good to see you, how are you feeling? "Jack asked with concern "Much better now Jack thanks to a lot of help from good old Samantha here" laughed Peter putting his arm around Sam's shoulders, "Well at least she's taking good care of you, good work Sam. Now there's an important fraud case for you to investigate waiting on your desk". With that DS's Nixon and Cavanaugh walked into the office to begin a hard day's work.

By the time it came to lunchtime, Sam and Peter had had a very successful morning; they had racked the fraud case and arrested their suspect. They were just grabbing a bite to eat before interviewing him. They sat down to eat when Peter thought to himself…..

'For god's sake man think. It's Sam's birthday in three weeks and you haven't even thought of what to get her or how to celebrate. What would she like, a diamond necklace perhaps or maybe a week's get away over Christmas. Yes that's it, I know exactly what to do but I'll some help from Gina and Jo if it's going to work. Oh she'll love it. I'll speak to Gina after the interview'

Just as he thought that he and Sam left the cantine to interview their suspect. They made their way to the cells to pick up Harry Johnson before escorting him to interview room 2. Once inside they began the interview; "Interview commencing at 12:36pm, those present are DS Nixon, DS Cavanaugh, suspect Harry Johnson and his solicitor Mr Ryan Thompson" said the proud voice of DS Nixon as she began the interview "Right Mr Johnson, do you understand why you have been arrested?" Harry nodded "for the benefit of the tape the suspect has nodded his head. Right so you understand that you are being charged with fraud. You have stolen the identities of several young men and draining them of all their money. Now why did you do it?" "I just felt like, something to do I suppose" "well that's not going to get you anywhere is it, you're facing up to 20 years in prison for this and you can't even come up with a good explanation, puff" "I said I just felt like it now unless you have any concrete evidence I suggest you let me go!" "oh I'm sorry, no can do I'm afraid you see we've got plenty of evidence, we found 10 credit cards in the back of your car all with different names, we also know that the card holders had previously reported their card stolen and said that money was being drawn out of their account without their knowledge, how do you explain that?" Harry Johnson looked over at solicitor. "No comment" "are you going to answer no comment to any further questions?" "No comment". Sam looked across at Peter who followed with "Okay, interview terminated at 12:45pm" he switched the tape of before he and Sam left the room.

After leaving the room and taking Mr Johnson back to his cell, Peter made his way to Inspector Gold's office. He knocked on the door before entering. "Excuse me Ma'am could I have a word?" he asked as he opened the door and walked in. "of course Peter, take a seat; what can I do you for?" Peter took his seat before continuing. "actually, I was hoping to talk to you about Sam's birthday" "Okay, go on then" "right well, I was hoping to throw a surprise party for her but I'm going to need the help of you, Jo, the rest of CID and the relief. I was thinking we could organize a get together the evening of her birthday, what do you think?" "oh that's lovely Peter she'll love it, of course I'll help, I'll mention it to the troops and CID when Sam's out on a case. I'll also book the Seven Bells for the evening, it'll be great. Now back to work before she gets suspicious" "Great, thanks Gina." With that, Peter left the office in search for Sam, to get her out of the way to let Gina tell the troops. It was now the end of the shift so he decided that he would take Sam out for a meal. He found Sam in CID. "Hey Sam, come on you've worked hard all day, I'm taking you out for a meal, my treat" he said as he put his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. "Oooh that' sounds lovely, I'll just get my coat". Sam left with Peter just as Gina walked into the briefing room to address the troops about Sam's birthday.
