Specialist crimes and sacrifices

Chapter 7

Sam and Phil had just arrived back at the station, and Sam was still acting strange around Phil, but with nearly everyone else, she was fine with the exception of Stuart, she was edgy with him.

"Sam, you're acting strange again now are you going to tell me what's wrong or what?"

"I told you I'm fine."

"No, you're not and I want to know why."

"JUST LEAVE IT!" she was now shouting and half of CID turned to see what was going on.

"SAM!" his voice was just as loud but a little softer. He ran after her, with the eyes of their fellow officers not far behind.

"SAM!" they were now in the yard, it was empty apart from the unmarked cars standing still behind them. "Where are you going?" she carried on walking. "SAM!" Sam spun around, her face streaked from where she had been crying.

"JUST STOP IT PHIL, LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Come on Sam don't do this to me." He saw a tear stray down the side of her cheek and Sam walked off, leaving Phil standing.

Sam's POV

Why can't he just drop it? he's making this much harder on me than it needs to be. He just doesn't get it. I can't be around him anymore, because I know he's leaving and I know I can't do anything to stop him. I don't want to let him near me because it hurts even more.

Phil's POV

What's wrong with her? Why won't she let me in? I hate seeing her like this and I want to help her. I care about her a lot, and I thought she cared about me. Maybe it's me that's got the problem, or maybe it's something I've done. I know I was late today, but I've been late before and it never seemed to bother her. It could be the fact that I was seeing Neil about the new job. That's it; it's the job, why didn't I see it before. It must be so awkward for her, but at least now I know what's wrong and I know it's going to be alright now.

Please review, not many chapters left to go now.
