The sun was blazing, the wind was weak and it was a great day for investigating. Mickey turned over in his hotel bed. "Mickey. I got us some breakfast." Mickey smiled to himself.
"Thanks Anne, you didn't have to..."
"I know, but you need a good meal." Mickey smiled again while sitting up in the double bed. Anne passed him the full english. Mickey was always careful with relationships, but Anne Westerland was different, Mickey met her in a pub, she'd tipped her drink down him, and they hit it off from the start.
"Anne, how long have we been... you know.." Mickey asked while munching though a mouthful of beans.
"Nine weeks, about that anyway. Why?"
"I was just thinking."
"Alright, listen I'm gunna' have a shower - is that OK?" Mickey nodded to the brunette beauty while trying to swallow a hash brown.
The sun was blazing, the wind was weak and it was a great day for investigating. Neil turned over, awoken by the sound of his wife in the shower, he decided to check on his son. Jake was still sleeping, his small head hidden into the moss green pillow. Neil sighed and went downstairs.
The car shot into the parking space. Mickey got out and opened the passenger door to grab his briefcase, just as he locked the door his phone beeped. He examined the phone.
"New message Anne, open now?"
Mickey opened the essage while he walked though to the yard. The message read;
"Hey baby, I was wondering if u wanted 2 go out 4 a meal tonite, on me? tb luv Anne xx" Mickey smiled, since he met her he's had nothing but pamering, he's only paid for a meal once, and got a round in twice - she pays for the rest.
The car shot into the parking space. Neil had to find out who and why that bug was planted, also about the man searching his bins. Neil entered by the yard, but the code to open the door had been changed, seeing the camera he was about to ring Phil, but two PC's came by and opened the door, saying a quick hello to the DI as they passed.
She walked down the street, posh and upper middle class people lived here she thought. She stopped looking over at a house on the opposite path, she knew who lived there, but he wasn't there. His gold volvo had gone. The deep blue front door was inviting, she could see a shadow of a woman in the front room. Phillipa, she thought.
The woman stood there for nearly a minute until moving on, she had a meeting with an old friend who she'd worked with for a good four years... until recently that is.
As she entered the cafe she saw the man she was meeting, he had ordered her a coffee, and was drinking his own. She sat opposite him. After all this time, still he seemed pale around her, ten weeks is a long time - for some people.
"Hey, I'm glad you met me here, thank's for the coffee, so what have you got for me?" The man opposite her scratched his chin and at the same time he passed her a file with his other hand.
"Everything you asked for. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into." She smiled.
"What do I do best?" The man gulped, and took another sip of coffee. "Thanks again, I owe you."
"Yeah, well... I got to go - the office is nothing without me." The man left a tip for the waitress and left. She took a sip of her coffee while thinking of her plan. Just then he walked in. She shuffled and felt sick. He was meeting a woman - who looked scared, she seen her before, he'd met her in a cafe before. She hadn't seen him so close since it happened, he had his back to her, so she was safe from him noticing her. They seemed careful and worried. She couldn't hear the conversation, but it was heated. The woman he was meeting then stood up and left, only for him to follow. They talked outside for a while then went their different ways.
She left the cafe, just about to cross the road when she noticed DS Hunter following the woman, she decided to follow Neil.
Neil opened his front door. He was tired and hungry. He walked into his front room, Phillpia was doing some work on the sofa, while Jake was playing on his gameboy advance. Neil wanted to spend time with Jake rather than Phillipa, so he arranged to watch a DVD with his son. Jake went upstairs, he could hear his mum and dad talking downstairs, he'd gotton use to their arguements, they had more since his father was home.
Jake opened his door, and tuned on the TV, he then walked over to the bottom shlef of his bookcase, kneeling he examined the titles, he chose Thomas The Tank Engine All Aboard with The Steam Team. he favoured this one because of the fireworks on the last episode. He picked up the DVD and sat down in front of the televison.
Neil walked up the stairs, walking into Jake's room, he saw his son sat legs-crossed in front of his TV opening a DVD case. Neil picked up the remote while Jake closed the cas eand sat next to his dad on the bed. When the DVD came on neil was about to select the "Play" option, but Jake took the remote off him. "I want to press the button..."
"Alright, go on then, thats it. Good boy." Jake passed the remote to Neil and held his fathers arm while they sat and watched Thomas The Tank Engine.
Considering it's a Friday night the resturant wasn't that busy. Mickey sat opposite Anne. "How was your day?" Mickey smiled.
"Why do you always ask me 'bout my work?" Her stomach jumped, does he know, she thought. Mickey carried on. "I wanna' talk about you." She smiled,
"What do you want to know?" Mickey took a sip of his red wine,
"Well what did you do today?"
"I went out to meet a old friend, we meet for coffee... that's about it really." Well to his knowledge, she thought.
