Close enough to touch

Sam sat down with yet another luke warm cup of murky brown liquid (which was meant to be coffee) and sighed. Phil had been missing for just five days although it could've been fifty. Her and Sam could've had it all, they could've been so happy, Yet here she was sat alone in her office with not a clue in hell were Phil was. They'd looked at Kristen's property portfolio and searched her vague "house in the country" description. It hadn't helped to say the least.

Neil stood outside there joint office and stared at Sam, the whole of CID, the whole station could see that Sam was destroying herself. She had closed herself off. Nobody could get close to her, she just sat in her office drinking coffee, shouting at anyone who disturbed her (before breaking down into tears and telling whoever it was to go away.)

"how is she" Jack asked, already knowing his answer.

"still hasn't said anything"

"are we any further finding Phil"

"No, we searched the fifth house today, were not going to be able to keep getting warrants-Kristen's been sectioned so her evidence doesn't count"

Sam's office phone rang and for once she answered it "DI Nixon"

"Sam….its me"

"Phil" Sam whispered hardly daring to believe herself.

"ne….or…to…mad…d…ouse" the phone line crackled and went dead. Neil and Jack went in the office Sam looked at them-

"it was him" she said "the line went dead" her head swayed and she collapsed onto the desk in front off her.
