"Better get on with this case then" Kate said to Jack who was looking slightly upset. "Something I should know" Kate said beginning to get worried
"There was an RTA" or road traffic accident as some people called it.
Jack hated RTA'S ever since his wife had died in one a couple of years before. When ever we got called into one he always remembered his wife.
"Uh um on my way" Kate said
She walked down the path on got into her car. She sat in the car and put the engine on. Delta Goodreem's single Innocent Eyes came on the stereo. As Kate came out of her parking space and out of the station car park she saw Mickey and Rob they were waiting to get the id on a girl who they had arrested. Properly for dink driving Kate thought to herself as a bottle of cheap whisky fell to the floor. As she drove past she saw that the woman was wearing blue jeans, white t-shirt and an Addidas jacket. The woman looked about 18 she thought to herself. Kate carried on driving until she pulled up outside the RTA.
"What have we got" she said to Honey who was standing cowering over the outline of the body looking to get some details
"Woman, mid to late 50's, didn't stand a chance" Took her to hospital but don't look good" "Cheers" Kate said and made her way to the hospital
At the hospital Kate opened the curtain and looked at the women's outline
"I know this woman" she thought "I know this woman she's ..."
She said aloud Kate couldn't bring herself to say her name no matter how hard she tried she couldn't
"Have we got an id yet" Jack said peering round the curtain
"Sort of" Kate said wishing so hard that it wasn't who she thought it was
"What do you mean sort of?" Kate sat by the side of the women stroking her hair
"It's a friend of mines mother she used to look after me when I and he were."
"Care to tell us who it is then" said Jack
"The women's name is Catherine Webb"
"Any relations nearby"
"Nearer than you think" Kate said close to tears
"Sorry but do you want to fill me in here im feeling just a little confused"
"Who else do we know with the surname Webb?"
"Wait a minute" Jack said "wait a minute are you telling me that this is Mickey's mum"
"She used to let us go and stay when we were going out. She must have been on her way down here for Mickey's wedding"
"Do you think we should tell him?"
"And ruin his wedding your more crazy then I gave you credit for Jack"
"His mum's dead!" exclaimed Jack
"He has a right to know"
"Not yet" Kate said
"We cant we can't ruin the best day of his life for him lets just wait awhile"
Mickey and Rob had come back to the station for a cuppa. Mickey thought it was fun working with Rob he enjoyed it. He found it better then he thought he would. Kate would be back soon hope fully the accident wouldn't take long and they could sit down for a coffee and a chat. He enjoyed his chats with Kate. He felt that they had become best friends. All the stuff that has happened between them had sort of pulled them closer.
"All right mate" Rob said sitting on a chair next to him
"Rob not now" He said "Im waiting for someone"
Mickey was waiting for Kate. He had been thinking for a long time now that he a Suzi weren't going to work. He decided to get married to her to see if things would change and so far they hadn't. He decided to tell Kate how he felt about her.
"No time for that" Rob Said "The super wants us to interview that drink driver we brought in this morning something to do with a robbery"
"Great" Mickey thought and he got up to leave the table
Kate and Jack were sat in the hospital with a cup of tea in their hands. Kate had silent tears streaming from her face and landing in her tea cup like rain droplets landed in puddles.
"You ok" Jack said
"Im fine" Kate said wiping the tears from her eyes hoping Jack hadn't noticed them
"Sure"
"Honestly" She said
"Never been better"
"Lets get you back to the station a?"
"Yeah" she said her voice began to get quieter She got up from the chair and put her cup of tea in the bin next to her. She turned round and she felt Jacks tight grip round her.
"It's ok now" Jack said "It's ok now"
She couldn't help it any more and she let out a big gulp. The tears began to flow and they wouldn't stop coming
"Im sorry she said" pulling away from Jack
"That's ok" he said "It's always worse when you know the person"
"I hadn't known her for long" she said. "Mickey took me to see her now and again we were good friends why would anybody want to hurt her"
"I don't know maybe just wrong place wrong time" Kate began to cry again.
She realised she wasn't crying for her but for Mickey. How's he going to take it? She knew what it was like to loose a person close to you. She didn't want him having to go through the same.
"Can I tell him" she said after a while
"Are you sure that's a good idea" Jack said
"He may understand it more if I tell him"
"if your sure" Jack said
"Im sure" Kate said
