A/N Thanks so much for the kind reviews. Really pleased to hear that people are enjoying this.

The Morgue two hours later

Gail arrived at the morgue to see how the autopsy was going.

"I Estimate post mortem interval four to five years. Full grown female. 25 to 50 years old. Never given birth." Holly was speaking into a dictaphone.

"Reading one of Dr Lee's articles LeTrec? She probably has one in there." Gail said as she entered the room observing the tall, slim, brown-eyed, olive-skinned woman with short, strawberry blond hair reading a forensics journal.

"Yeah had to find something to relieve the boredom!" replied LeTrec.

Well you could ask if she's got an ID yet. But I guess it usually takes a bit longer." said Gail.

"Won't have that till after the weekend. I going to need the forensic anthropologist on this one. And he's in Montreal. Can't get here till Monday. But the good news is we can still have the party Saturday as neither of us will be working. You can't do anything without cause of death and ID right?" said Holly.

"Party?" said LeTrec.

"Yeah women only. No one is allowed to be homophobic. That sort of thing." said Gail.

"Yeah, but we can invite Frances here." said Holly.

"Can I bring Jane, my girlfriend." said Frances.

"Oh you can definitely come! Bring her." said Gail.

"Must be annoying having Partridge with you. Isn't he a bit homophobic?" asked Holly.

"Can be annoying. Had to bite my tongue a few times." said Frances.

"Can anything be done about him?" asked Holly.

"How was he with you this morning at the crime scene before I showed up? You told me you thought he might be homophobic." asked Gail.

"Yes, nothing I could put my finger on until you left though. Gail, promise me you won't kill him?" said Holly.

Two concerned faces looked at Holly.

"Now you're worrying me. But I promise." said Gail

"OK." Holly took a deep breath, "He said he could turn me straight. I pointed out that several scientific studies had shown this to be impossible." said Holly.

Gail's face was thunderous.

"I'll kill him for you!" said Frances.

"No! I have something more painful in mind for Partridge!" Gail was met with a smirk on Holly's face after she said this.

"Do you want me to put a complaint in to get the ball moving?" asked Holly.

"Yes Holly. Frances, any chance of you and Jane turning up early, say 11am? Oh and here's our address." Gail handed Frances a card.

"Hang on I'll ring Jane, she should be free by now." then Frances looked at the card, "Oh! I see we're neighbours! Jane's a market maker at Baker & Lewis."

"Wow. Surprised you're slumming in our neighbourhood." said Gail.

Frances laughed. "Despite the rumours, yours is a very nice neighbourhood and we have a house in the country too."

Frances phoned Jane.

"Hi Jane"

"Yeah, I'm stuck at the morgue! Listen we've been invited to a party tomorrow."

"One of the detectives and her partner, a pathologist. They want us to arrive early because they're going to put in a complaint about that guy I was telling

you about."

"Yeah, he's been homophobic to the pathologist so she's going to put in the complaint."

"Yes the detective is a woman too."

"They live one block away."

"OK, will do, see you later. Love you."

Frances cut the call.

"Jane's very happy with that. She asked if you'd like to come out to the country next weekend."

Gail and Holly glanced at each other and nodded.

"We'd be delighted to." said Holly and then she remembered. "Except we can't. Long story but it'll be Ruth's first weekend with us. Ruth is my five year old -sister. Our parent's..."

"The (Im)Purity Crusade? Yeah I heard about that, didn't know they were your parents though. You have my sympathy." said Frances.

"But maybe in a few weeks when Ruth is a bit settled?" said Gail.

"Good idea." said Frances.

Saturday Morning 11am Holly and Gail's condo.

Holly and Gail were just finishing setting up for the party when the entry buzzer went. It was Frances and Jane.

After introductions and a tour of the condo they sat down at the table with a laptop open.

"I had a chat with my mom about the best way to proceed on this..." said Gail.

"I should explain that Gail's mother is Superintendent Elaine Peck." Holly interrupted her.

"Yeah, I should have explained that. Her view is that it would be best if multiple complaints came in. But not all at once. A few weeks apart. Also Frances she suggests you keep a diary from now on and write down any incidents that occur with time date and location. Who was Partridge's TO?" said Gail

"Officer Shaw." said Frances.

"Good, he's supportive of us. His girlfriend is coming to the party. Lent us his cabin for R & R after a stressful case. " said Gail.

"The Purity Crusade?" asked Frances, after a nod from Holly she continued "I told Jane about your parents, I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. It'll be all over the news soon anyway." said Holly.

"Strategy. We'll do Holly's complaint today, put it in on Monday. Then, if it's OK with you Frances we'll put your complaint in in a few weeks. Sorry that means you have to keep working with the creep for a bit." said Gail.

"Yeah fine. I haven't done anything up to now because it would be my word against his." said Frances.

"I said that to mom. She said they'd use a procedure to test the complaint without either of you knowing.* I am afraid I don't know more than that. Have you got any further with working out why you thought he was homophobic before the incident that confirmed it?" asked Gail.

"No I haven't. It's difficult to explain but when you've been out for as long as I have you develop an instinct for homophobes." said Holly.

"I understand. A bit like the instinct cops get for criminals. I've got the form for an official complaint here let's start to fill it in and we can take it in to HQ on Monday. That way we avoid anyone else at 15 knowing about it until they have to." said Gail.

They spent the next hour going through the form. Then Holly signed it and put it in an envelope. Gail then took the envelope and put it in the Land Rover.

"I think we just have time to prepare the party game." said Holly.

They still had half an hour before their guests were due to arrive. While they waited they talked. It turned out Holly and Jane had a few friends in common from the Toronto LGBT scene. Gail resolved to get Holly to show her the scene sometime once they had Ruth settled and had found a baby sitter.

*I don't know whether this would happen in Toronto but it is sometimes used in the UK where it is called Integrity Testing.
