Jo stepped back shocked.
'Does Phil know'
'No'
'And are you planning on telling him'
'Not yet not till I decide what to do'
'Sam I've to work with him for the rest of the day. How can I keep something like this from him'
'You'll manage' Sam said before rushing into the toilet to throw up again
Jo walked out the toilets and back into Phil. She told him it was just the morning sickness getting Sam down and he accepted that as a reason. Jack came in and gave them a burglary to deal with and they both left. Sam came back in and sat at her desk and spent the rest of the day doing paperwork. Phil got back about half four and was in the process of making them both a coffee when Jack came in.
'Samantha I'm sorry to pressurise you but I'm needing an answer tonight'
Sam looked at Phil who was looking confused 'Can we talk in your office'
'Off course'
Jack and Sam left the office just as Jo was coming in.
'Jo do you know what answer Jack needs from Sam tonight'
Jo looked away from Phil trying not to give an answer
'You do know, what's going on Jo. What are you not telling me?'
'Phil Sam's been offered a promotion to DI at another station'
Phil felt his legs give way beneath him and sat down on the chair.
'She can't leave'
'I'm sorry Phil'
'Yeah well it's not over yet' Phil stood up defiantly and walked through to Jack's office. He knocked on the door and slammed it shut once he was inside.
