17. Mystery Photo's And Drinks

Sam worked all day with out so much as a tiny blip. She worked with Kezia on some burglaries, which where straight forward enough. They were cleared up easily enough, the culprits all admitted their part. All the stolen possessions where returned to their owners, and all the criminals where locked up. Sam had started her paperwork and finished it with out distractions, drank 16 cups of coffee and was now staring into space. Her mind wandered back to her meeting with the burly lawyer, how dare he have the nerve to show up in Sun Hill like that??? She asked herself. How dare he even show up in the United Kingdom for that matter???

She stood, straightened her suit and walked to the window of her office. She pulled the blinds down and locked the door; she then went to a locked filing cabinet, once their she took out a small key from her purse. With this key she unlocked the filing cabinet, once unlocked she pulled out an old battered file. She locked the filing cabinet, returned the key and placed the file on her desk. She sat and stared at the closed file. It was marked 'FBI AMERICA'S TOP SECRETS'. With a deep breath she opened the file, and looked at a picture of a 6 year old girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes, she was sat smiling back at her, and as she looked tears rolled down Sam's face. She then automatically flipped to the back, there was a picture of a happy family, a mum with the same blonde hair, the girl and an older boy, who also had blond hair and blue eyes. They where sat in perfect harmony, smiling at each other. There was however something which an onlooker would find strange, something with Sam didn't seem to notice any more. At the back of the picture there was a person-sized hole, someone had cut a member of the picture out. Whether out of hate or because they wanted to keep the picture, no fly on the wall would be able to tell, only the person who cut it out and the person who was cut out would be able to answer that.

Sam sat and quietly stroked the picture and sobbed her heart out. Twenty minuets later the dried her eyes and placed the picture in her bottom draw and locked it. She opened the blinds and unlocked the door. She walked over to Phil's desk and asked him if he wanted to go for a drink with her after work, Phil of course said that he did very much so. Sam then asked several of her colleges in turn if they wanted to go for a drink. At the end of her shift she went to the DCI's office and knocked on the door.

"Jack" She asked questionably as she entered

"Yes Sam, is they're anything I can do to help you," He asked, as he looked up from his work.

"Umm…well no" Sam stuttered "I was just wondering if you wanted to come for a drink with the rest of the gang"

"Are you going???" Asked Jack.

"Well, yes I am" Sam replied

"Well then so am I" Jack beamed. And with this he linked arms with Sam and escorted her to the Canley Arms to meet their colleges.
