Chapter 3
Edith Dobey couldn't help but smile at the curly haired little boy who had one leg hitched over the side of the cot in his latest escape bid. The minute the child had realised that he was being watched he froze, he then assessed the situation and batted his two large luminescent blue eyes and added a huge grin. Edith smiled despite herself; this young man was going to break a few young ladies hearts in the not too distant future.

"I've told you before David that son of yours is far too young for coffee," she jested good naturedly. Exchange the coffee for a glass of juice and maybe we will have a deal."
"You know me Edith I never argue with anyone in authority," Starsky replied with his tongue firmly stuck in his cheek.
"Oh really. I suppose you are now going to give me one of those smiles, which work so well for your son?"
"Who am I to deny such a beautiful lady? And as you asked." Starsky grinned and added a wink for good measure. Edith felt herself blush.
"Starsky." A deep voice boomed down the corridor "If you are flirting with my wife again, I'll have you back in uniform…"
