Ok Lights, Camera, Action:
His Damsel In Distress
"Morning Jo," Tess said as she walked into the station. "How's the paper work going?"
"Why do we have to do it Tess? Why? I swear I'm going to hunt down and kill the idiot that invented paper work!" Jo groaned.
"No, please don't…then I'd have to arrest you for murder." Tess grinned.
"It would have been well worth it!" Jo laughed.
"Hello, how are you all today?" said PJ walking out of his office.
There was a chorus of 'Fine' and 'Good Thanks' from everybody in the station. Jo blushed ever so slightly and kept her head down. She'd had feelings for PJ for a while now and she was beginning to think he might have feelings for her too. The only problem was how to go about telling him. She couldn't work together with PJ if he knew because there was a strong possibility that her love was unrequited, but she couldn't stand to work without him either.
Then Jo said "Hey what are you going to be- " but she stopped mid-sentence as Tom stuck his head out of his office.
"Work, people. I don't care if you chat and work at the same time but work has to come into it, you know…we're not here just for the fun of it." He gave them a weary smile.
"That's one of us then." Jo mumbled under her breath.
"What was that Jo?" Tom asked.
"Oh, nothing just…just…" she cast around in her head for something to say. "…just wondering where Ben is. He's not usually late, you see."
The others grinned.
Tom wasn't convinced but he just retreated back into his office.
Just then, Ben walked through the door looking a bit flustered.
"Whoa, that was close, mate." Jonesy chuckled. "You nearly got sacked by Senior Sergeant "It's Time To Work"!" Jonesy said, mocking Tom.
Ben just rolled his eyes. "The kids were playing up a bit this morning."
Just then the phone rang, Tess answered it. "Hello Mt. Thomas Police Station, how may I help? Yes, can you please slow down, I can't understand what your trying to-, are you in a safe place? Yes Ok, where? Alright I'm sending someone around right away." She hung up the phone. "Ok guys, reported burglary at Mrs Guthry's house. The crook is still in the house and she says he has a gun." Tess said quickly. "Jonesy, you're with me. Jo, stand-by please."
"Right-o." Jo said un-enthusiastically, sitting down at the computer.
Tess and Jonesy made their way out of the station in a hurry leaving Ben and Jo alone in the office.
"Why the long face Jo?" Ben asked.
"Huh? What? Oh…nothing. It's just that I seem to be finding myself sitting here on 'stand-by' while everyone else is out on duty."
"I'm here aren't I?" said Ben in would-be-hurt tone.
"Well yeah but you were out all day yesterday on that case with PJ, weren't you?" She said, ignoring his humour.
