Phil trailed in behind a bunch of children he was supposed to be looking after, sighing loudly and being generally quite irritable. "What's with the long face?" Diane asked jokingly as she sank down into a beanbag in front of the wide screen TV. "Anyone would think we'd just been told we were doing a rematch of yesterdays water sports tournament!"

"Ugh children." Phil grumbled getting dirty looks from the kids sitting near them. "How many times a day do they actually have to go to the toilet!"

"Shut it Phil, the movie's starting." Sam said from nearby him as Jack turned out the lights and the title screen to The Simpsons Movie appeared in front of them. Phil leant back in his beanbag and gave up his grump act, thankful that their activities for the day revolved around staying indoors, eating popcorn and watching movies. Even if they were all PG's so the little ones could watch them too!

Somewhere through Ice Age 2 Phil's eyes drooped and he began to snore loudly. Diane nudged him in the back with her knee and he jerked awake. Turning round he shot a scowl in her vague direction, it was too dark to properly see where anybody was sitting. Smirking Phil reaching his hand out to the knee which was next to him. He recalled that Sam was in the beanbag next to him and rubbed his thumb gently back and forth before moving his hand slightly further up and stroking the inner thigh. Just then he received a sharp slap around the face and he saw someone get up and run from the room.

"Sam? Sam where are you going?" Phil called, worried that he'd offended her in some way, although he wasn't sure how that could have been considering how far things would have gone yesterday had Diane not interrupted them.

"I'm not going anywhere…what are you on about?" Sam said from the other side of him. Phil swore under his breath and bolted from the room with Sam in hot pursuit. "Phil…what's happened? What did you do?" Sam said as she caught up with him outside the Rec. Room.

"I…I erm…I thought you were sitting on the other side of me and I had my hand on what I thought was your knee, then I moved it higher up "your leg". It's not Diane…or Jack 'cause Di was sitting behind me and Jack was over by the windows. It must have been one of the kids…but which one!" Phil groaned, clapping a hand over his face.

"Phil it was Jason…you know, tall, sandy hair about thirteen." Sam said recalling what the room looked like before the lights had gone out. "There he is." She added, pointing over by some trees where a lone figure was sitting on the ground, hunched over and obviously crying.

They approached cautiously but at the last minute Sam halted Phil and made him wait there. "Jason…Jason it's Sam." She said taking a few more steps forwards.

"Don't come near me. I hate you all." Jason wailed, not looking up at her.

"Jason I haven't done anything wrong…neither have you. Phil didn't mean to do that to you, he thought it was me who was sitting there. He wouldn't have done it otherwise." She tried again and this time she appeared to get through to him a little bit.

"He wouldn't?" Jason questioned, his gaze still stony but his tone a little more welcoming than before.

"No…he's not like that. I promise." Sam said holding out her hand for him. When she'd pulled him up she opened her arms to him but he flinched and walked around her. "Do you want to come back in and watch the rest of the movie with us?"

"Kay." Jason replied softly, still staying as far away from Phil as was possible. When they were back in the Rec. Room he went to sit by Jack and Sam and Phil returned to their normal seats. Di kicked Phil softly.

"Where did you two slope off to…or do I not want to know?" Di teased, getting the evils from Phil. "Okay, okay I'll shut up."

In the afternoon, after the activities were over Jack noticed that Jason still seemed pretty edging. Jack approached Frankie and asked if she would tell him anything about Jason's past.

"Yeah look come in here." Frankie said dragging Jack into the main cabin with him. "Look Jason doesn't want many people to know this but his Mum was a prostitute. There was one time when a punter arrived at the house to wait for his Mum…only he didn't wait for her. He sexually abused Jason only a neighbour heard his screams and phoned the police. Jason had to give evidence and everything in court, Michael Gardner went down for eight years and Jason's getting his life back together." Frankie said slowly.

Jack's eyebrows shout up his head. "Poor kid." He muttered before turning and walking back out into the sunshine. Jason was sitting with his back up against a tree, peeling the bark off of a twig and ignoring everyone around him. "Hey mate." Jack said as he sat down next to Jason who grunted in reply. "You know that Phil wouldn't hurt you. He's not like Michael." Jack said softly and Jason turned to look at him.

"How do you know that? People aren't always how they appear." Jason said looking back down at the ground.

"I've worked with Phil for a very long time. He's not a bad man. He thought that you were his girlfriend, it was a genuine mistake Jason, I promise. Look Phil feels really bad about it, he wants to apologise to you." Jack explained and Jason's face softened.

"Okay…I guess." He muttered and Jack beckoned over Phil who'd been sitting watching them.

"Hi Jason, I'm sorry about earlier. I really didn't mean it. It won't happen again I swear." Phil said worriedly.

"Sure…you just scared me that's all." Jason answered looking up at Phil.

"Do you want to come and play football with the others?" Phil asked cocking his head to the side.

"Na…I'll stay here with Jack." Jason replied smiling over at Jack who he'd come to look up to as a bit of a father figure. Jack smiled happily, he knew it wasn't the same but he felt satisfied that at least one person looked up to him. Benjamin never had, Jason was a bit like the son Jack had always craved. Someone to appreciate you, to need you, to want to spend time with you.

With the kids cooped up in the Rec. Room, supervised by four more unwilling adults the others were free to do as they pleased. Sally walked down from the cabin on her own and entered the pool house, shrugging off her jeans and t-shirt to reveal a dark blue tankini which showed off her figure. Lewis – who was already in the pool – just treaded water and stared at her, his mouth hanging open slightly.

She dived in next to him and swam round him in circles teasing him until he started to chase after her. Sally was faster than him and easily shrugged him off, swimming slowly until he'd almost caught her and then suddenly speeding off in another direction just in time. Eventually he cornered her in the edge of the pool where she was sitting on the side.

He swam up to her and stood on the shallow floor of the pool, her legs either side of his waist. They just sat and looked at each other for a few moments before Sally leant forwards, bringing her face closer to his. Their lips were centimetres apart when they heard the creak of the door and both separated and turned to look. Smithy was standing in the doorway, smirking at the two young PCs in their compromising position. "I'll leave you guys to it." He muttered and then left chuckling to himself.

Sally blushed and looked away shyly but Lewis moved closer again and placed his hands around her waist. Sally reached out a hand and stroked the side of his face at the same time as she brought her lips down to his. The kiss became heated and Lewis lifted her down from the side of the pool, her legs still around his waist and they sat kissing in the shallow water.
