Caught up
Chapter 16
"Debbie can I have a word please?" Sam appeared at her office door. Debbie walked silently into Sam's office and shut the door.
"What?" she said bluntly.
"Have you got that statement for me?"
"No not yet."
"Why not?"
"I haven't had time."
"Well can I have it by the end of the day please?"
"Gov." she replied confusedly.
"Thank you." Debbie left and as she closed the door she cast a bewildered look in Phil's direction.
"What's up?" he asked.
"I think the DI's trying to be nice."
"And what's so bad about that?"
"It's just strange. I mean who is she trying fool?"
"Maybe she is just trying to be nice. You don't know what she could have been through."
"Stop sticking up for her! I don't know what's gotten in to you today."
"Just leave it yeah?"
"I've got to do this statement for dragon lady over there."
"Well have fun."
"Shut up Phil."
"Gov…" Phil entered Sam's office a couple of hours later. "We've got a confession from Mr Whinks."
"Great. Thanks Phil I'll be out in a minute."
"Ok, are you alright?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"Just something Debbie was saying earlier. Nothing really."
"Ok." She smiled at him and he smiled back. "I'll see you in a minute."
Sam came out of her office and thanked the team for their hard work and began to clear the whiteboard.
"God this statement's taken me forever."
"Don't you ever stop complaining?"
"Not when I'm in the same room as her." She emphasised the last word.
"Debbie!" Phil snapped.
"What? She doesn't show any feelings, it's hard to know she has any."
"Debbie!"
"What?! It's true!"
"Yes. Because you're always right aren't you Debbie?" Sam continued what she was doing and didn't turn to face her.
"Oh please!"
"If you don't like it you can always leave." She turned and walked into her office.
"Debbie! Why did you have to go and say that?!"
"It's not my fault she hates me!"
"She's probably had a hard time and you can't blame her for that."
"Oh shut it Phil! Go and see her if you're that bothered." Phil got up and walked round the desk. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to see her like you suggested. To see if she's alright."
He continued until he reached Sam's office. He knocked on the door and entered knowing that she wouldn't answer anyway. He looked around confused then as he approached the desk, he saw something.
A body lying on the floor motionless.
