Chapter 8 Morning After
Sheelagh
Sheelagh woke up to the smell of Sam. She sniffed it in, it was nice, it was like she had somewhere there with her. Sheelagh's loneliness crept back in and she started to weep.
Sam
Sam arose early with a bad back. Trying to wake herself up she went and made a coffee, struggling a bit with her back. Sam decided to check on Sheelagh, as she walked up the stairs she heard a familiar noise; even though it was muffled she still knew Sheelagh was crying. Sam's feelings aroused in her mostly of feeling useless, she just wanted to go in and hug her however Sam backed away and went back downstairs. Sheelagh observed from the doorway.
"You liar!" Sheelagh laughed, "Your not used to that sofa."
"I am it just really hurts my back!"
"Come here Sam I give a very good massage!"
"Oh an offer I can't refuse," Sam felt nervous.
Sam sat down in the chair in front of Sheelagh. Sheelagh's magic hands got to work. Sam felt like she could melt. Sheelagh was enjoying giving Sam a massage she could she it was causing Sam pleasure. Sheelagh couldn't help but want to gently kiss her neck. Sam felt like Sheelagh's breathe was on her shoulder...well she could dream couldn't she?
"Oh Sheelagh," Sam moaned.
"How is your back feeling?" Sheelagh inquired.
"Mmm much better, Sheelagh don't stop! It feels so good."
Suddenly they were interrupted by Sam's phone ringing
"Who could that be?" Sam wondered
Sam rushed to get her phone, "D.I. Nixon speaking...yes...oh...yes we will be right there."
"Sheelagh there's been a murder they want me there straight away,"
"Oh right okay," Sheelagh said a little disappointed.
Half an hour later they were both out the door into the car down to Red Wood Forest.
Sheelagh
Sheelagh was feeling very nervous about viewing a dead body, she already felt an emotional wreck but she couldn't let that show, how bad would it look on her first week back?
"How far is the forest?" Sheelagh asked.
"Only a couple of minutes," was the reply.
Sam had changed to D.I. mode, the indestructible robot. Sheelagh was intrigued to how close the location was.
"Guv," Sheelagh said in P.C. mode
"It's Sam but go ahead."
"Sorry Sam, do you think this is the same killer? I mean the distance,"
Sam cut her off, "I won't know till I get there but the M.O. was the same."
Sam
Sam couldn't help but feel disappointed that her morning with Sheelagh had been cut short. She found her feelings weird but at least she had some work to get stuck into. They shortly arrived at the scene. What they saw shocked them both.
