Nicole walked into DCI Jack Meadows office. Not knowing why she was called in, feeling rather confused. She knocked on his door and entered after been told to. She walked in and shut the door. "Gov?" Jack looked at her, and then indicated for her to take a seat. She sat.
"I called you in to check that you're coping alright" Jack said sounding sympathetic.
"I'm. I'm good thanks." She smiled "why?" she asked
"Well you've had some pretty big news today, bound to shake you up a bit"
"I have?" Nicole asked confused
"There's no need to pretend to me Nicole. Finding out you have a stalker can rea-" Jack was interrupted by Nicole.
"I'm sorry my what!" Nicole exclaimed.
"Your stalk-" Jack paused as if thinking, he frowned. "Wait a minute did Phil not tell you!"
"No Phil did not tell me!" she exclaimed again getting slightly hysterical.
"Oh, right" Jack said quieter
"What the hell do you mean I have a stalker! I CAN'T have a stalker. I'm just….me"
"Well I'm sorry to tell you, but It seems you do" Jack said calmly, while Nicole was standing up running her fingers through her hair, pacing backwards and forwards slightly, trying to comprehend this information. "But how! How do you know this! You may be wrong; in fact yes I bet you're wrong!"
"Nicole, I'm sorry really, but were not wrong. He-he has a room covered with your pictures apparently. From magazines shoots even to you walking in and out of your house. Do you see where I'm going with this?" he asked sympathy in his voice again. Nicole sat back down again. "Who is he?" she asked much cooler than she was acting before.
Jack not really wanting to share this information with did so anyway as he felt she had a right to know this "Adam Scaife" he answered.
Nicole thought for a moment. "Wait…..Adam Scaife…The man responsible for those crimes, burglary, all that damage to- Oh no"
"What is it?"
"It's my fault" Nicole cried. "No it's not. You mustn't see it like that" Jack said to her firmly
"Yes it is. He was doing this…for me… I mean what else! If it wasn't for me then. Oh god" Nicole cried softly.
"Nicole. No. this is no way your fault. Now I want you to go home and take the rest of the day off. I'll sort this out"
"No, I want to stay here." Nicole said standing up. Jack stood up with her. "Nicole" he said warningly, but he didn't mean it the way it sounded.
"Please Gov" she said softly.
Jack felt sorry for her so he let do what she wanted "Alright, but if you feel like you want to go home you let me know and you can go" he said walking towards the door to open it for her. "Thanks" she said as she walked out of the door.
Oh my God. What has just happened? I have a stalker! What the hell! I can't of. It's just not possible. Nicole thought to herself as she walked down the empty corridor towards the ladies. She looked up and saw Phil walking down the opposite way to her head in files. She walked along then slammed her hand against the wall, so her arm blocked his way. He jumped back slightly. Startled by this. He looked and saw it was Nicole. "What the hell was that!" he asked.
"What the hell were you trying to do!" Nicole demanded fiercely, awaiting her answer, looking at him with narrowed eyes.
"Me! I'm not the one who stuck her arm out suddenly"
"Don't play games. Why didn't you tell me!" she growled at him.
"Tell you what!" Phil asked
"About Adam Scaife" she growled again. Phil's eyes widened slightly, he didn't say anything. "I just can't believe that you didn't tell me!" she cried annoyed, she looked at him. "Why? What pathetic excuse have you for what came over you all of a sudden!" she folded her arms looking straight at him.
"Well Gary thought you shouldn't know until we got it sorted..."
Nicole laughed "Oh Gary thought! Well that explains everything!" she said sarcastically. "Where the hell do you get off blaming Gary!" Phil just stood there, not saying anything.
"Ugh!" she threw her hands up. "Why is your brother is a sweetheart, and you're a complete jackass!"
"Not what you said the other night…" he said smirking.
"Don't you dare!" Nicole said in a warning tone. Phil was lapping up this, playing of her frustration. "Well its true isn't it. You were far from calling me anything like a jack when you wrapped you arms around my neck…"
Nicole scowled "Phil I'm warning you, you keep on and I swear I'll-" Nicole stopped what she was saying and looked at Phil as two people in uniform walked past. She continued when they left "I swear to god I'll-"
"What? Threaten me? I think we've had enough of that haven't we darling. Now don't worry your pretty little head about this. I'll sort it out." He said smiling down at her.
"By what? Throwing cheesy chat up lines at the case?" she spat at him (Not literally spitting at him)
Phil looked down at the floor and back at Nicole and smirked. "You do what you do, and I'll do what I gotta do. Alright Darling." He walked past her and patted her on the er 'bum' "See you around" he called back as he walked on ahead up the corridor. She spun round frustration and anger at boiling point. For those brief moments she forgot about Adam Scaife.
Why was it whenever she was with him she always seemed to forget about the things that were bothering her? No matter how pissed off she was at him, he always did this to her.
