OK, big thanks to Darkness Deadly, JiggyMcCueLover, SallyandCallum, HollyBolly-x, Felicity Fox and JessicaStone134. I'm glad you're liking and following the story. Again, with the majority request, next in line is Callum Stone.
Stone Cold
Well this has to be one when the name is fitting. Well at least the surname anyway. The first name, Callum means "dove"
EXACTLY HOW MISLEADING IS THAT?
Doves are beautiful creatures and signs of love and peace –NONE of which fit Callum heartless Stone! In Christian art history, the dove symbolises the Holy Spirit! It's even in a bible story. What an insult! That's such a contradiction in terms and as for love and peace – ha! I don't think HE even knows how to spell them; let alone know the meaning of the words! He should have been called Lucifer. In Latin this name originally referred to the morning star, Venus, but later became associated with the chief angel who rebelled against God's rule in heaven. Even later it became associated with Satan himself. A whole lot more fitting, wouldn't you say?
As for the surname Stone – well that's just a stroke of genius. Stone Cold. Cold as Stone. Unfeeling, insensible. Well, what else are you supposed to say about a tosser who allowed someone to commit suicide right in front of himself and another PC? What sort of policing technique is that? Whoever let him through Hendon needs shooting! And he justifies THAT by saying that the man he allowed to jump to his death was a violent criminal? WHAT SORT OF JUSTICE DOES LETTING HIM TAKE THE COWARD'S WAY OUT BRING?
YOU TWAT, STONE!
Yep, this is it – Stone cold and his warped brand of justice. There's being hot tempered, a hard nut and charming – and then there's being those three things along with being Callum Stone. And that's not a good mix. See this isn't a Sergeant who has his whole team pulling together, oh no. This is a Sergeant who was, for want of a better word, shoved from his last police station for always "flying solo."
WAS THAT NOT YOUR FIRST WARNING SUN HILL? AN ALARM BELL? CALL YOURSELF ACTING INSPECTOR, DALE SMITH? HA!
You'd think the second clue would come with his little "gang." Oh no, there was no pulling together, which is what being part of the police should be about and YOU, CALLUM, YOU SLY GIT, blackmailed others for YOUR gain! Does Sally Armstrong's drink driving ring any bells for you, you MUPPET? Power hungry moron! It was a wise move when Gina Gold didn't want him promoted to her rank after she left – but she couldn't have been more wrong in her reason – she wanted him on the front line with the "team." What bollocks! He probably couldn't even spell that! The only time team means anything to YOU, Stone Cold is – well, never. Blackmail! As well as Sally, there's Smithy! Does Jason Devlin ring any bells? Persuading Smithy to lie and cover for him?
Were you reaching out your olive branch, Stone?
Yeah.
WHATEVER!
Just who the hell do you think you are, Sun Hill's answer to the caped crusader of Gotham? Just a shame you can't be as good as he was at fighting –you and Smithy fight like girls! Was pulling at each other's clothes and shoving each other around the best you could do? You may as well have brought out the fake nails and hairspray while you were at it!
Temper, temper ladies!
Keep it in check, Stone Cold! So you go and get beaten up. Again. Surprisingly enough, while actually doing your job and stepping in to stop an argument involving a drug dealer.
Annnnnnnnnnnd when you discover that the case is going to collapse, you assures Smith that he can accept this (cough, cough). In a counseling session with Nancy Faber, you tell your counselor that you blame yourself for the assault, feel that you failed everyone involved, because you let you guard slip: HARDLY A CRIME and start to think that he's in the wrong job (of course you're not) before finally admitting that you're a victim (I wonder how many people dropped dead in shock). You might be a "macho" man, Stone, but you're also human and those feelings, believe it or not are not a crime UNLIKE what you did next! You fool! YOUR idea of justice yet again is to follow said criminal when he's released and savagely beat him up? I bet that made you feel a whole heap better, especially when you managed to get yourself suspended!
Let's all give him a standing ovation!
Gotta feel sorry for him, though, when his family troubles come to light. Must have been nasty, having your Mum choose your Dad over you. If only you'd realized that you could have had a true family at Sun Hill. Buuuuuuut sadly not.
See where your flying solo got you? Sigh.
