Anything for charity

Briefing
In the late afternoon of a Friday before the shifts ended, a whole station briefing had been announced.
"Right." Jack Meadows' voice echoed through the room. "As you know, St Hughes is short of funds at the moment. So we as a station are going to be holding some fundraising events over the course of next week."
The room erupted into moaning and Jack held up his hand to silence them. We will be having three events. A fair on Monday to get things started. There will be raffles, games… family type things. Then on Wednesday we will be having a car wash…" Honey squealed. "Is there a problem PC Harmon?"
"Gov… what about my nails?" she squeaked. Jack sighed and continued.
"As I was saying you will all be expected to take part in all of the events. I am aware that there has been some tension between members of the team over the course of the year and although I am sure that most of the problems have been resolved, this should help to strengthen the team and boost morale."
"Gov?"
"Yes Phil."
"You said there were going to be three events."
"I did."
"And?"
"The last one will be held on Friday, but will continue over the bank holiday weekend, so don't make any plans. You won't be told what this one involves until Friday morning, because I don't want anyone bunking off."
"Is it really that bad?"
"You're catching on quickly today DS Hunter."
A series of worried glances went shooting at one another round the room.
"I will expect everybody to be at every event… including the one on Friday night." He shot them all a warning glance. "Anyone who doesn't turn up to any of them will be fired. Is that clear?"
"Yes Gov." the room chorused.
The officers departed from the room, all chatting about the events and all wondering and worrying what Friday's event will entail.
There we go. That's the first chapter done and out of the way. Now press that little blue button and review. I will ud soon. Luv Sam xxx
