Terry and Mickey came in.

'Afternoon all' said Terry 'and may I recommend that nobody goes outside as my psychic weather ability tells me it is going to be a windy afternoon'

'You know what Terry you might be about right there' laughed Phil

'Mickey do you remember that kid we interviewed last week'

'What the one who threatened to slash your tyres if you didn't let him go'

'That's the one. Well he's back in again for the same thing only at the start of the interview he tried to accuse Jo of feeling his bum'

'I get the feeling he's got something against female police officers'

'Well not Honey apparently he wanted the hot blonde one for the interview'

'You're blonde' said Terry

'But not hot or so Tom says'

'The kids taste buds haven't matured yet then cause I think you're gorgeous' said Phil

'Shut up' said Sam blushing but secretly pleased he thought that

Everybody got back to their computers and fifteen minutes later Jo came back through the doors.

'I've decided I'm emigrating to Barbados'

'Well can I go in your suitcase' said Terry

'Sure you can'

They had all settled down to work again when there was a big crash and the lights and computers switched off.

'Great that's all we need' muttered Mickey

There was very little daylight left so Sam quickly hunted through her drawer for her torch. She found it and switched it on.

'At least someone's organised' said Phil

The CID doors opened again and Sam swung the torch round onto Gina Gold's face.

'Oi' came her reply

'Sorry Ma'am' said Sam

'That's ok. I've brought candles up for CID. We've got the emergency engineers on their way but it could be an hour or so'

'Can't we just go home' said Jo

'I've just spoke to the super he'd rather you just put up with it for an hour'

'Great' moaned Phil

'Is that a problem DS Hunter?'

'No Ma'am' said Phil

'Good, the matches are in with the box of candles as well. Have fun!'

They listened as the door's swung shut and then the giggling started.

'Yes Ma'am, no ma'am, three bags full ma'am' said Mickey

'Shut it' replied Phil

'Are we going to light these candles or what?' said Terry

Jo and Sam started lighting the candles one by one and placing them round the office. By the time they had finished the office looked romantic.

'All we need is a table, flowers, a waiter and a meal' said Phil

'And in your case a girl' replied Mickey

'That's not true Sam will join me won't you'

Sam just giggled embarrassed and not sure what to say.

'So how we going to pass the time?' asked Jo

'I vote strip poker'

'Shut up Phil' chorused everybody

'Well we can hardly play eye spy cause we can't see anything can we'

'I think we should play spin the bottle' said Terry reaching for his empty water bottle
