Chapter 12- Marriage Blues

Sam and Zain went into work at about 8:45 and went straight into the briefing room. Neil had called for a briefing and they had to be there. Neil arrived about 10minutes later and him and Sam got the briefing underway. 'As you all know,' Sam started. 'We have been running an investigation into Jamie Collins, who we suspect is manufacturing crack cocaine and distributing it to street dealers.'

'We believe that we have found the house that the drugs are being made at. The address is 21 Fenton Street so Phil, Zain, we want you to keep an eye on the house, see what's happening,' Neil added

Phil and Zain nodded, 'Jo and Stuart, can you do some checks to see if our drug dealer has any links to the property,' Sam said.

Jo and Stuart nodded, 'That's it, off you go,' Neil finished.

Everyone began to stand up and file out of the briefing room.

About half an hour later, Zain and Phil were sat in the CID car outside 21 Fenton Street. There was silence which after a few moments, Phil decided to break. 'How's married shaping up?' Phil asked.

'You should know, you've been married before,' Zain replied.

'Yeah, but I've never been married to Sam,' Phil said.

'It's great,' Zain said then he saw Phil looking at him, 'I mean it's crap.'

'Why, what's wrong?'

Zain shrugged his shoulders, 'we've only been together for 11months and I'm just thinking that maybe, we rushed into things. I'm starting to wonder if she's bored of me, or if she wants someone else.'

Phil smiled to himself, maybe this would give him a way in. He pushed Sam away the night before because he thought it was the right thing to do, there was no way that he'd ever be able to do that again.

Zain gazed out of the window and looked at the house. 'Phil,' he said. 'Isn't that our bloke?'

Phil followed Zain's gaze and saw an IC1 male entering the property. 'Yeah, that's him,' he said.

He and Zain got out of the car and ran over to the house. They knocked on the door and Jamie answered, 'Jamie Collins?' Phil asked. 'DC Nadir, DS Hunter, Sun Hill CID,'

Jamie tired to shut the door on them but Zain jammed his foot in the way to stop him from doing so. 'Right Jamie Collins, I'm arresting you for production of drugs,' Zain said as he cuffed him and read him his rights.

Zain put Jamie into the back of the car while Phil drafted out a text message to Sam which said: I need to see you. There's something I need to tell you, Phil. His finger hovered over the send button and he pressed it.

Sam was sat in her office, mulling over a pile of paperwork when her mobile began to bleep in her pocket. She took it out and read the message that Phil had sent her. Sam wrote a reply saying: I'll meet you down by the river in 15minutes, Sam, whichshe sent.

Phil and Zain pulled up in the yard and brought Jamie into custody. Once Jamie had been put into a cell, Zain turned to Phil, 'what shall we do?' he asked.

'We'll let him stew for a bit,' Phil replied.

At that moment, Phil's mobile began to ring. He took it out and read the message that Sam had sent him. Phil smiled to himself, 'I'll be back later,' he said as he left custody and walked into the main station.

About 15minutes later, Phil pulled his car up by the river. He turned the engine off and waited. A few minutes later, Phil looked into his mirrors and saw Sam approach his car. He leant across to unlock the passengers door and she opened it and sat down. Sam looked at Phil before she spoke, 'what is it you wanted to tell me Phil?' she asked.

'It's Zain,' Phil replied.

'Oh God,'

'He doesn't know anything Sam, he's just thinking aloud,'

'This is insane Phil. We can't carry on like this; we have to make it stop,'

Phil shook his head before looking Sam in the eyes, 'I can't,' he said.

'Make it stop, please Phil,'

Phil moved his hand and ran it down the side of Sam's face, 'I can't Sam and deep down, there's a small part of you that doesn't want this too stop either,'

Phil leant closer to Sam and their lips met in a kiss. They pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes and they kissed again, more passionately this time. Phil's tongue entered Sam's mouth and gently explored it. Sam moved her hands and placed them either side of Phil's face while Phil did the same. They kept this position for a few minutes before either of them pulled away. They pulled away and rested their foreheads together, too lost in the moment to speak. 'I've gotta go,' Sam said with an air of regret.

'Do you wanna lift back?' Phil asked as he moved some strands of her hair out of her face.

Sam smiled at him, 'thanks Phil,' she replied.

Phil put his seatbelt on as Sam done the same. He started the engine and they both drove off.

15minutes later, Phil pulled his car up outside the station. 'Thanks for the lift Phil,' Sam said as she undone her seatbelt.

Phil smiled at her as he watched Sam enter the station and go up the stairs to CID. He locked his car doors and followed her up a few moments later.

Sam finished work at about 5 that afternoon; she found that Phil and Zain were still working. 'What are you up to?' she asked as she perched on the edge of Zain's desk.

'Tying up the loose ends from the Jamie Collins case,' Zain replied. 'I'll be back in a couple of hours.'

Sam smiled at him and kissed him softly on the lips. 'I'll see you back at home,' she said as she began to walk towards the doors to CID and left.

Sam pulled up outside her and Zain's house about 10minutes later. She entered the house and flopped down on the sofa. It was the first time since her and Phil's meeting that afternoon she'd had time to think about what had happened. About an hour later, Sam decided to ring Phil. She dialled his mobile number and it started ringing…

Phil had gone down to the canteen to get himself a coffee and he'd left his phone on his desk when it started ringing. Zain tired to ignore it but the noise really got to him she he went over to answer it. Caller ID told him who was calling, in his phonebook, Phil had labelled Sam as 'The Gorgeous One', Zain noticed this but still had no idea who it was referring to, 'hello?' Zain said as he answered it.

Sam recognised the voice, she knew it was Zain and hung up. She put the phone down on the coffee table, hoping that Phil would call back.

Phil re-entered CID carrying a cup of coffee. He went over to his desk and sat down, 'oh by the way, someone just rang for you,' Zain said.

'Who?' Phil replied.

'The Gorgeous One,' Zain said. 'Not the chatty type though.'

'Why do you say that?'

'She hung up as soon as I answered,

Phil stood up again, this time, taking his phone with him and left CID to call Sam back. A few minutes later, Phil re-entered CID with a huge smile plastered across his face as he sat back down to finish the day's work.
