PC Dunbar smiled as she wandered through CID, she rounded the corner to Neil's office, blissfully unaware of the vile mood he was now in.
"Morning" She smiled happily walked through his door
"GET OUT!! This pathetic schoolgirl infatuation is driving me to distraction!" He screamed
Andrea felt her eyes welling up, only the night before he'd talked about leaving Philippa for her. Obviously he'd had a change of heart, and a swift one at that.
Andrea soon ran from CID, her hand to her face, trying to hide her tears.
Shawn got to her feet and followed the PC into the toilets.
"Hey, are you alright?" Shawn asked, the first genuine thing she'd said since arriving
"Yeah I'm OK" Lied Andrea
"You don't look it" The blonde observed
"Who are you?" Andrea asked, trying to change the subject
"DS Shawn McKinley" She replied "Probably the reason Neil just had a go at you" She added
"Why's that?" Andrea struggled to fend off her inner reporter, and instead the jealously of a woman in love took hold and forced her to ask.
"Long story" Sighed Shawn "Right, I'm going to go and have a word with him"
"No! It doesn't matter" Said Andrea quickly "Besides, it's your first day and the mood he's in it'll be your last"
Shawn shrugged, she thoughtfully stroked Andrea's cheek as she headed for the door
"Don't worry, if anyone can handle Neil Manson, it's me"
