-1call the police, only until she finally realised that the paper boy couldn't fit the paper throw the letter box!"
"Right I understand Miss Cunningham, myself and my colleague will go back to Sun Hill and have little look on some CCTV and do some checks and we'll call you as soon as we can, at the moment I'm afraid that's all we can tell you."
"Is that okay Miss Cunningham, your happy for us to leave now?" Phil asked after Sam had finished.
"Yes you've been a great support, thank you so much"
"In the mean time would you like one of our FLO's to popped round and sit with you a while that's what we call A Family Liaison Office, just to give family's a bit of support through a worrying stage?"
" Erm…No we should be fine, but we will wait here for your call, thank you once again the both of you"
"It's our pleasure, we'll be in touch within the next couple of hours I can assure you!"
Samantha and Phil went on there way back to the station, Sam drove Phil liked it when Samantha was in the drivers seat because it meant he could sit back and relax.
"Sam what do ya think of the new member of the team then?" Philip asked interestingly.
"He seems alright, a bit smarmy I also think he looks like the type that loves himself, you know what I mean, why?"
"No particular reason, just wondered!"
Sam couldn't help but smirk whilst looking out the window, she switch the radio on and had forgotten herself and started to sing. It wasn't until Phil said. " you should sing more often, you have a great voice!"
"Thank you!" Sam shot back very blushed!
When they had pulled up in the yard, there saw Stuart just booking in a suspect from the drug case he had been lumbered with!
"Well…well….well Jimmy Cordial been up to your old tricks I see?"
"What ever Hunter, I see you still got your partner in crime then!"
"What this old thing….Na!"
"OI….Shut it Cordial, and not so much of the OLD either!" Samantha shouted back!
"Soooo DS Turner I thought you were on a drug case?" Philip mocked
"Yeah well this is one of them, why?"
"What our mate Jimmy….huh…Na mate this ones nothing but a petty thief!"
"But…..!"
"Sorry mate!"
Sam and Phil couldn't help but have a little giggle on the way up to CID, just passing Stuart's side as they laughed. When Turner interviewed Cordial Sam and Phil were right he was only ever done for shop lifting and that was only for something silly like some bread or a pint of milk! As Stuart walked into CID he noticed Sam and Phil looked down into the laptop they were both using and silently giggling.
"Well thank for the tip guys!" 'NOT' Stuart remarked underneath his breath!
"That's alright mate, better luck next time maybe, but for now we've got real work to do!"
"Phil….Don't rub it in!" Sam said with a lovely big grin on her face!
"Sorry sweet just slipped out!"
"Oh….Yeah I…know!" Sam said sarcastically.
At the end of the shift Samantha and Philip agreed she would call the Cunningham's to update them, Sam and Phil were just on there way to the Canley Arms when they spotted an old women was sitting outside the nick on the bench.
"Phil look….is that Mrs Cunningham?"
"You know what…I think it is, come on "
"Excuse me, are you Mrs Cunningham?" Sam asked the old lady that looked kinda lost.
"Yes child I am, do I know you love?"
"No Mrs Cunningham, but I have spoken to your daughter today and she said she was a little worried about you for us to keep an eye out for you we are police officers"
"But now we found you, do you mind if we take you home madam?" Philip asked in sympathetic tone.
"You're a very handsome boy, you've got a good one there honey!"
"Please take me home my dears, I would love to see the rest of my family."
"Sure Mrs Cunningham, our car is just over here!"
Sam, Phil and Mrs Cunningham got to her home at the back of Canley High Street.
When there knocked at the door Mrs Cunningham's daughter had answered.
"Mum where the hell have you been, we've been worried sick about you?"
"I went to the doctors"
"Why….you know I always take you to and fro?"
"Had a letter throw the post and I had a simple check up, but they told me that….I……I erm .…I had Cancer."
"What?"
"Don't make me repeat myself child, you heard me the first time, look lets getting inside please"
"Erm…Mrs Cunningham were going to leave you in peace if that's alright?"
"Yes lovely you both go and enjoy your self's, and you son look after that missus of yours okay"
"Yes Maam I certainly will!"
"Goodnight all"
"Night Ds Nixon and Hunter, I really appreciate what you have done for me and my family"
"All part of the service madam!"
Sam and Phil got back in the car, they were both a bit choked, 1) What Mrs Cunningham had said, thinking that they were a married couple and 2) Her having Cancer.
"Well it certainly has been a long day, you fancy a bite to eat and a drink at mine?"
"Yeah why not!" Philip said trying his up most best to hide that he was over the moon she actually asked him!
They had a good old natter and a laugh, got bloated form stuffing there faces also got a bit to merry! In the morning Sam saw Phil pull up in the car park so she stood there and waited for him.
"Good Morning!"
"Yes and what a wonderful one it is at that!"
"Yep I agree!"
They both walked in through CID together once again laughing and joking!
"Do them two ever come in separately or even without laughing, they never seem to have faces like the rest of us?" Stuart Turner said as quietly as possible to Zain across his PC
"What Sam and Phil….Na there like one pack them, always together you know, laughing, joking, drinking coffee, etc…"
"So are they a couple or what?"
"No…well not yet that I know of anyway, I think there more like soul mate to be honest!"
"Oh...right okay!"
Philip had gone off with the DI, and he had put Sam in charge of the Grand Tour with Stuart. Just so he got to know the place a bit better.
"Right DS Turner I hear I have the minding job then!"
"Yeah…Minding is that was you call it…I'm pretty sure I can look after myself DS Nixon!"
