The shift had finally come to an end and it hadn't come soon enough for the officers on shift at Sun Hill. In the men's locker room Will, Dan and Lewis were getting ready to go out for a drink and talking about their day.

"So I'm hoping to get down the gym on Friday. Start training properly again you know? Get back onto shape. You fancy it?" Dan asked Will.

"Would a young PC named Beth have anything to do with this renewed interest in boxing?" Grinned Phil from across the room.

Dan glared at him before saying "No," obviously huffed by the comment. A loud snort of laughter came from Lewis who was taking his clean t-shirt out of his locker.Dan decided to ignore him, after realising he had no reply from Will, he questioned, "Will? You alright?"

"Hmm?"Will turned around to face Dan, having not taken in a word of what his friends were saying. He really wasn't looking forward to tonight, he had no energy and just wanted to crawl into bed. The day had been exhausting.

"Boxing? Friday?" Dan asked him again, "are you sure you are ok?"

"Er... sounds good. I'm fine just knackered to be honest." Will sighed softly, rubbing his hands over his tired face, he was beginning to get sick of people asking him that.

"So I'm guessing you don't want to go for a drink tonight with us?"Lewis queried, surprising Will who never even noticed he was there.

"It'll just be us mind. Dan has a date." Phil smirked and raised his eyebrows, loving every moment of making Dan, who usually kept things to himself, squirm.

"Oh yeah? What about you and Sam?" Replied Dan, giving as good as he got. All Phil did was smile, shrug his shoulders and returned to finish getting dressed. The mention of Sam's name made him feel happy and giddy inside. He loved her but would never admit to anyone, not willingly anyway.

"C'mon, I don't want to be the third wheel. Please? One drink?" Lewis pleaded.

"That's what you always say. Fine I'll go." Will sighed rolling his eyes as he remembered what he could about the last time Lewis has said that.

"YES!!" Lewis shouted, obviously pleased to have a fellow singleton around, not like he would be complaining if Honey was there tonight, he would leave Will on his own immediately.

The girls locker room was also full of officers getting ready to go for a drink after a tiring, long day.

"So you'll come too and back me up, incase it starts going wrong?" Beth asked, while checking her make-up for the third time since putting it on five minutes ago.

"Yes, we will. Although I don't know why we need to Dan is a great guy." Honey assured her. "I suppose we could get all the gossip though,"she added, a sly smile spread across her face making Emma and Sam laugh.

"Plus I want a drink." Emma announced.

"I'm already out with Phil." Sam smiled at the sound of his name. This was met by a chorus of "oohs" and "Phil and Sam kissing in a tree..." from the other officers in the room. Sam didn't mind the teasing, it was nice to be open about it as at the beginning of her relationship with Phil they had kept it secret.

"Look, will you stop checking your make-up you look great!" Honey told Beth, as she grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away from the mirror.

"You're going to be late...
