Chapter 6 Lunch
Sheelagh
Sheelagh rushed back into the office worried she was going to be late.
"Sam back yet Terry?"
"No not yet,"
"Oh I'll just drop something in her office,"
Sheelagh went in and dropped a carrier bag onto the table and got back to work
"Well that was a bloody waste of time," Phil stormed in.
"Phil calm down, see if you can get anymore leads," Sam ordered
She managed to sneak a wink to Sheelagh who smiled back. Sam walked into her office. A few moments she came back out and walked over to Sheelagh.
"Can I have a word?"
Sheelagh followed Sam into her office.
"I guess this is your doing?" Sam asked rhetorically
"How did you guess," grinned Sheelagh
"Only some like you could be this thoughtful, but don't know how long I'll be able to keep this one alive," Sam laughed as she replaced the dead one.
"Ah well you see I've already come up with a plan for that,"
"Oh you have, have you?" Sam looked admiralty.
"Well I am going to come and water if everyday so it doesn't die like the last one!"
"If only I had someone to care like that for me," Sam said out loud.
Sheelagh gave a sympathetic look and thought, "Me too."
"So have you had lunch?" Sam asked
"Well that was the intention but I got waylaid looking at DVD's!"
"Well good job I picked you up a sandwich," Sam passed Sheelagh a sandwich over the table.
"Thank you," Sheelagh said whole-heartedly
"So what film did you get that?"
"Oh that new one with Tom Hanks in," Sheelagh replied
"I want to see that one,"
"I'll lend it you once I've watched it."
The rest of lunch passed with them sharing stories and having a good time and with the interruption of Phil saying he'd received an anonymous tip off. They parted their ways.
Sam
"So he said the killer is someone Simpson?"
"Yes and I'm pretty sure it was the guy from the shop earlier," replied Phil.
Chapter 6 Remembering The Past
Sheelagh
After a hard day grafting Sheelagh was ready to go home. She popped her head round to say goodbye to Sam.
Sam
Sam sighed in her empty office. She was confused to say the least. She felt so much chemistry between her and Sheelagh.
Sheelagh
Sheelagh got home, to an empty house again. Something was annoying her but she couldn't figure out what it was. She turned on the news and listened to what they were saying tonight about the serial killer. Then suddenly it clicked! Simpson...Jeff Simpson he was the killer! And it was him who walked past her earlier. Sheelagh was scared but she got into P.C. mode and rang Sam.
"Sam? You still at the office? I've got some information I'll be right there."
Sam
Sam was excited at seeing Sheelagh again; she was enjoying her company.
"Sheelagh is everything ok?" Sam asked as Sheelagh bounded through the door.
"It's Simpson, he's the killer,"
"What the guy who De...erm who was a suspected of firebombing the stat..."
"Yes! And he's been following me," Sheelagh blurted out.
"Okay that's it you're staying at mine tonight no arguing and we will question him tomorrow."
