Back at the station, Chris and Sam ambled through reception. They were surprised to find it completely empty. No one was about.
"Where
is everyone?" asked Chris. Sam shrugged, not knowing the answer
himself.
"Oh God. I bet they've all gone down to the
warehouse," he gasped. Suddenly, the doors were flung open and Gene
and Ray stormed in with the whole of the police station following
them.
"You," Gene pointed at Sam. He grabbed hold of his shoulders and slammed him against the wall. "Never do that again. If you dare scare all of us like that ever again, I swear I will hunt you down myself." Sam grinned:
"Oh Guv, I didn't know you had a soft spot." Gene raised and eyebrow and patted Sam on the back.
"Well, don't get used to it, it's going as soon as Annie gets back." Sam's eyes widened.
"Annie, where the hell is she? Is she ok?" Gene nodded.
"Yes. Good for her I make a lot of noise when I smash doors down."
The next week and everything was back to normal. Annie was back to work and so were Sam and Chris. Gene called Sam into his office.
"Yes Guv?" he asked attentively. Gene rolled his eyes happy that Sam was back.
"You know something, I'm actually glad you're back. I missed my little anally retentive side-kick." Sam laughed and assumed that he was finished. He turned to leave but Gene called him back. "Oh, Sam, I forgot to remind you of something.
"Oh, yes Guv?" he asked again.
"You owe me a new car."
