"She's not so bad, Fraser," Ray said as they walked towards the doors of the precinct. Fraser often marvelled at how Ray could continue a perfectly casual conversation and drag a moaning lump of criminal towards the door of a police station. "She's a pretty good runner and she sounded polite in the car,"

Constable Williams had insisted that she accompany them to the station to make sure they didn't have any trouble with the thief. She claimed she liked to see the job done. She had been polite…to Ray and Fraser but Fraser wasn't so convinced by the way she had handled the perp. They had left her in the car with Dief.

"That doesn't excuse her behaviour before," Fraser said grumpily, if you were anyone but Ray you wouldn't notice his mood.

"What behaviour? She acted perfectly," Ray said as he opened the doors and pushed the thief through.

"Except when she pushed the young man,"

"It's true! It's true! I think I'm developing a bruise!" the miscreant perked up.

"Shut up, Moron!" Ray shouted. "Can you book this guy, please?" he asked the nearest cop. As soon as the offender was out of the door Ray turned to Fraser. "Look this kid just needs something to challenge her…like you said before,"

Fraser frowned slightly "I suppose you know what I should with her then," He was a bit apprehensive when a smirk appeared on Ray's face.

"She could tag along with us for the day, help us catch the bad guys," Ray said as if it was the best idea in the world.

"Ray, I don't think-"

"Come on, Benny, it'll be great," Ray said "Can't have too many Mounties," he chuckled as he made his way out the door back to the Riv.

"I just don't want to get her in a situation where-"Fraser said desperately.

"Oh come on, Benny!" Ray said "Lighten up,"

"I don't think Inspector That-"

"What Dragon Lady doesn't know won't hurt her,"

"I'm sure Inspector Thatcher will realise-"

"She'll never notice,"

"Ray!" Fraser shouted in an attempt to stop Ray interrupting him "It's not a question on whether the Inspector will notice, she is my superior officer and I don't think she'll approve of me taking this young woman on dangerous escapades,"

"Where is she?" Ray asked suddenly puzzled.

"Well I expect she's working at the Consulate," His thoughts entirely elsewhere.

"Not your beloved Inspector, Fraser!" Ray said "The other attractive female Mountie," he pointed his finger towards the Riv.

Fraser looked passed Ray to take in the sight of an empty 1971 Buick Riviera. No Dief. No Mountie.

"Oh dear,"
