Chapter 3 First Day

Sheelagh

"Ma'am P.C. Murphy reporting for duty," Sheelagh smiled.

"Ah Sheelagh, you won't be reporting for duty to me,"

"I won't? Oh I though,"

Gina quickly cut her off, "You'll be working under D.I. Nixon. So get upstairs she'll be waiting."

Sheelagh quickly made her way upstairs excited at the prospect of working on such a major case but one thing was slightly worrying her...

Sam

"Ah good morning Sheelagh if you wait in my office I'll be in, in a minute."

"Yes D.I. Nixon," Sheelagh obediently replied.

Everyone looked up from what they were occupied with.

"Sam what is Murphy doing back?"

"D.S. Hunter number 1 it is D.I. Nixon to you and number 2 she will be working with us while she gets settled back into the station as we are a man well woman down. Team anyone got anymore questions?" Sam waits a few seconds. "Good now back to work, lets catch this guy!"

Sam strolled into her office. She loved being in control.

"Sheelagh first things first, pleasure to have you back at this station and also I have one small slight problem."

Sheelagh looked worried.

"Sheelagh don't look so worried! It's just we are on 1st name terms here, well apart from Phil," Sheelagh laughed, "So it's Sam," Sam smiled.

"Okay Sam erm who will I be working with?"

"We are a team up here but don't worry you'll only have to work with Phil as a team. I was think I'll pair you up with Terry if that's okay with you?"

"Oh that's great. It's just you know I think I'd feel a bit scared working with Phil, just because of the way he is," Sheelagh replied worried she was being to open.

"Yeah womaniser like Des," Sam thought. Sam gave her a reassuring look, "It's fine I understand now shall I grab us a couple of coffees while you get changed, you don't need your P.C. uniform in here. Then I can bring you up to speed."

"I don't mind going," Sheelagh offered.

Sam ignored Sheelagh's last comment. "What will it be?"

"Coffee, one sugar please," Sheelagh smiled.

"Ah that will be easy to remember! Same as me."

With that Sam left.
