Summer Party.

Summer Party
Chapter One, Messages.

DS Phil Hunter walked into CID, his colleague and friend Samantha Nixon was already at her desk. As he passed her she looked up. "Oh hi Phil." She smiled.

"Hiya Sam." Phil replied smiling before sitting down opposite her. She carried on with her work and he started to turn his computer on.

PC Reg Hollis walked in at that moment holding some papers, he put one up on the wall then walked back out again. Curious, Sam walked over to the illuminous orange paper and read what it said.

Summer Party.

Adam Okaro has decided to hold another summer party to celebrate summer!
The theme is favourite childrens characters, the super would like to see the child within and see how imaginative and creative you all really are. Hopefully you can get a partner and have a few dances together.

Time: Half six until whenever.
Date: Saturday 29th July 2006.

So come along, socialise, dance, get drunk, get something to eat and have a good time!

DC Jo Masters read over Sam's shoulder. "Childrens caharcters!"

Sam nodded. "Looks that way."

The people that were huddled around reading, groaned.

"Oh c'mon don't be so down. We could go as Disney characters." DC Susie Sim said.

"Now's the cue for Susie to break into song about cheering up and we have 'CID, the musical'!!!" Sam said, everyone laughed including Susie.

Everyone went back to their desks and started working. Even though it looked like Sam and Jo were working they were actually instant messagin eachother.

Jo: What you wearing for this thing on Saturday?
Sam: I'm slightly embarassed about mine, you go first, pleeease.
Jo: Might go as Dorothy Gale from Wizard of Oz.
Sam: lol.
Jo: What about you?
Sam: I was possibly thinking about Esmerelda from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Basically a gypsy.
Jo: Cool. You going with anyone?

Sam looked up at Phil, sighed then began to type.

Sam: Probably not. I mean, I would like to possibly go with a bloke but I don't think even notices me. At times it's like I'm invisible.
Jo: It's not Stuart Turner by any chance is it?
Sam: No, why?
Jo: Oh I heard him say to Mickey that he may ask you but he didn't know if you'd want to go with him or not.
Sam: Oh, I didn't know that.
Jo: Would you like to go with him?
Sam: I don't know. I guess so, he is nice and everything. I should say yes, I mean I can't linger in the past for the rest of my life.
Jo: Huh!
Sam: Sorry, random mumblings/typings. Forgte about that. Yes, if he asks then I'll say yes!
Jo: COOL!!!
Sam: Alright, calm down Jo! lol.
Jo: Sorry, better go. DCI's coming my way.
Sam: Alright see ya.

They both clicked out of the conversation. Jo had enough time to make it look like she was doing something just before the DCI walked up to her. Sam started her own work. Across from Sam, Phil was sat also instant messaging but he was talking to Zain.

Zain: You going to that party?
Phil: Yeah, you?
Zain: Probably. I want a girl to go with though.
Phil: So do I. I kinda have someone in mind though.

He cast a look at Sam, she was concentrating and gently biting her bottom lip. He tore his eyes away from her then looked at his computer.

Zain: Who?!
Phil: Promise you won't tell anyone.
Zain: Yes, now who?
Phil: Sam.
Zain: Nixon?
Phil: No, of course Sam Nixon you twerp.
Zain: Sorry. I didn't realise you liked her.
Phil: Well I don't exactly walk into CID and shout it everytime she's in too do I?
Zain: Well no, but usually I can pick up on these things.
Phil: Good for you.
Zain: Alright, don't be mean! Anyway, what you wearing?
Phil: Dunno. What 'bout you?
Zain: Um, I dunno. Depends what my date's wearing.
Phil: Why, who you going with?
Zain: Wait two secs and see.

Phil looked at Zain, Zain brought his head up too.

"Oi Susie!" He called.

"Yeah." She said looking up at him.

"Wanna go with me to the summer party?" he said not caring about the people looking at him. Phil slapped his forehead, he was going to get rejected in front of everyone.

"Yeah alright." She smiled back.

"Cushty." Zain said then looked at Phil. Phil's mouth was open and looking at Zain unbelieving. Zain smiled at him. "Simple."

Phil shook his head and rolled his eyes. He casually looked at Sam, she was with Jo and Susie. They were all gossiping together. He could slightly hear them.

"Zain's stupid." Jo said.

"No he isn't, that's sweet." Sam told her. "At least he's not scared to show his feelings." She turned, Phil quickly moved so that he was facing her. She thought his sudden change of movement strange but let the thought pass. She wnet back to her seat. Phil felt like kicking himself, he was doing exactly the opposite of what she thought was sweet. He was scared of sahowing his true feelings. He used to be like Zain, be able to ask a woman out in front of a whole crowd without caring but he'd changed, quite a bit.

Phil decided that he'd conquer that fear at the party but asking her, it would have to be just the two of them. However, whenever he got close, Jo and/or Susie would walk over and so he couldn't say it. He found out that Susie and Zain were going to go to the party as Robin Hood and Maid Marion, he laughed as it meant Zain would have to wear tights!

It was Wednesday, Phil only had until Friday to actually ask her. Saturday would be too short notice. He thought that he had to sleep on it though. He wnet home, all he could think about was what he'd say to Sam, whether she'd accept or not. At ahlf eleven he tried to sleep but couldn't. He was wishing for her, he wished that she could lay beside him. He wished he could watch her dream, would he be in her thought like the way she's always in his. To help him sleep he did something that he hadn't done in quite a few years. He said a prayer.

Let Sam sleep peacefully and be out of harms way. Let her be able to dream the night away without a care in the world, let her sleep and be watched over by a thousand angels and let their wings protect them against the harshness of the night.

Just then his mobile beeped. He had a text message from Sam. His heart skipped a beat as he opened up the message.

Random thing: If the world ends then don't worry because it's tomorrow in Australia!! Love you Phil, Sam. xxx

Phil laughed to himself. They always sent random stuff to eachother, especially jokes. He then thought, it said: Love you Phil! Did she mean that in a friendly way, or more than that? He didn't care, he was happy with whatever it meant.

He then got into bed, rolled over and fell asleep.

Forgot to say, Phil sweet in this and nice. Hope you like and please review. Cheers. xxx

Chapter Two
"Do you want to go with me?"

The next morning Samantha parked her car as DS Stuart Turner got out of his, he smiled at her so she smiled back before getting out.

"Hello Sam." He said cheerfully.

"Hiya Stuart." She replied happily.

"Are you going to this party?" He asked, Sam nodded. "Do you, um, do you want to go with me?"

Sam hesitated, she thought of Phil. It would be a lie to say that she didn't love or think about him anymore, but he'd probably moved on. Maybe she should too.

"Ok, I'll go with you." Sam agreed, she smiled as his face washed over with relief.

"Wicked! What are you dressing up as?" He asked.

"I was thinking about Esmerelda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame but I was talking on the phone to Jo last night and she said I should go as Tinkerbell. What about you?"

"I hadn't exactly considered it yet, but if you're going as Tinkerbell I could go as Peter Pan." Stuart said smiling.

"You do realise that you'd have to wear tights, like Zain." Sam laughed.

"Nah, I'll wear three quarter lenghts that are covered in leaves and acorns and stuff." He said. He then laughed. "I'll leave the tights for Zain."

Sam laughed. "Oh have you heard, Honey Harman and Will Fletcher are going as Mickey and Minnie Mouse! And Reg Hollis is going as Kermit the Frog from the muppets!" Stuart laughed. "I also heard that because Jo's going as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Terry's going as the lion, Mickey's going as the scarecrow and Dan Casper from uniform has agreed to be the tinman."

"Yeah, Emma Keane, Leela Kapoor and Yvonne Hemmigway are going as the female three musketeers." Stuart said.

They walked up to CID talking about the Tinkerbell and Peter Pan costumes. Sam knew a good place in Canely High Street where they'd be able to get them. When they walked through the doors of the CID department Jo walked over to Sam, Stuart went and talked to Mickey. Both Samantha and Stuart told their friends excitedly. Jo and Terry were both pleased for them.

"About time a bloke made you smile again." Jo said.

"Yeah, he's really sweet." Sam said. "Right, lets get on with some work."

"Sarge." Jo wlaked over to her desk, Phil was stood by it.

"What was that all about?" Asked Phil casually.

"Not much, just Sam telling me that she was going to the summer party with Stuart."

Phil felt his stomach drop into his stomach. "Are you alright sarge? You look Pale." Jo said.

"I'm fine." he replied then walked back to his desk. He looked up at Sam, she was looking at a file. He couldn't help but notice she looked happy, she was smiling and her eyes seemed to be sparkling. He felt worse knowing that she was so happy with Stuart.

The day went quietly and soon Sam was on her way to Canely high street with Jo after their shift. They tried the outfits on and laughed at eachother. Sam's one was just like the disney oridional, she even had a hair scrunchy for her hair to tie in a bun. She laughed at Jo's outfit, it was proper Dorothy style dress with red shoes. Jo laughed at it too but said it was perfect.

Sam dropped Jo off at her house then went to her own house. She laughed to herself as she remembered Jo's comment about the good witch in The Wizard of Oz, Glinda. It was; "Why didn't Glinda, save time by saying to Dorothy all you gotta do is click your heels three timnes and say there's no place like home. Then you'd get there." Sam had replied with.
"Because then, the film would finish and Dorothy wouldn't of helped all the other characters out."

She got out of her car and took her dress to her house. She got in and checked the phone. Their was two misssed calls. One from Stuart telling her that he'd found a really good Peter Pan outfit and had brought it. Then another from Phil, it was a random joke.
"Hey Sam. What did Zero say to Eight? Nice belt. Ok, it's rubbish but I thought I'd tell you anyway. See you tomorrow."
She smiled to herself, thinking about how much of a good friend Phil really was. Oh well, she guessed that was all he was ever going to be.

aww thats really good and phil comes up with some random things
