Jim
“You watch it, you little maggot, or I’ll have you,” Jim said, holding the swearing and kicking teenager up against the fence. “Now, tell me why you ran when you saw me.”
“I wasn’t running.”
“Right, I’m going to search you -” But Jim was cut off as he was hauled backwards from behind and pushed into the dirt. He landed breathlessly on the ground and watched as his would-be arrest and friend ran off and disappeared.
“Bloody hell…” he got up and brushed off his uniform.
“Tough day at the office, constable?”
He looked up and saw Andrea grinning cheekily at him.
“Some of us don’t get Saturdays off…” He poked his tongue out at her and she winked.
“You’re just jealous.”
“You’re damn right I am.”
“I would have chased him for you, Jim, but I’m in my good boots.” She held out a foot and showed off the knee-high leather heels she was wearing.
“Thanks, that means a lot,” he grinned and began to walk beside her. “No big deal, probably had a small amount of drugs on him, but I’m not going to chase it up.” He sighed, and rubbed his face tiredly. “What are you up to? Shopping again?”
“Going to be, I haven’t bought anything yet. I need a coffee first though. You want one?”
“I can’t, darlin’, I need to go back to the station soon.”
“Ok…”
They walked along in comfortable silence for a while, until Andrea stopped and pointed across the car-park. “Jim, is he trying to break into that car?”
Jim looked and nodded with a sigh. “I’ll see you later, love, have fun shopping.”
“Make society proud,” she grinned, and with his gentle push, continued on her way.
As Jim got closer, however, he slowed down.
“Ryan?”
“Jim!” Ryan stood up straight, trying to wipe the guilty look from his face. “You scared the life out of me.”
“As I should, if you’re trying to break into a car. This isn’t yours, is it?”
Ryan gave a shifty grin, “no, but I do know the person who owns it. He’s gone off to phone someone who can get us in… he’s lost the keys, see…”
“Right…” Jim nodded in agreement. “Who owns it?”
“One of my mates.”
“His name, Ryan. Anyone I know?”
“Er, I don’t think so. Riley Bennet?”
Jim shrugged in a non-committed fashion. “I can radio for help, if you want.”
“Er, no that’s ok, thanks Jim.”
“No trouble.” Keeping an eye on Ryan, who was growing rather nervous, Jim circled around to the front of the car and radioed in the number-plate.
After hearing the response (the car belonged to a woman named Karen), he moved back to Ryan, who was looking decidedly agitated.
“Is Riley married?” He asked casually.
“I… I don’t think so,” Ryan answered with a stammer. “No, he’s not.”
“Got a girlfriend?”
“Probably,” he smiled nervously.
“You know her name?”
“N-no. Sorry.”
Jim fixed his eyes on Ryan. “Who’s car is it, Ryan?”
Ryan flushed a little. “It’s Riley’s.”
Jim sighed, and moved forward. “Don’t make me nick you, Ryan. It’d break Caroline’s heart. Just get out of here, ok? And if I ever catch you at it again, I’ll break your neck.”
Ryan nodded quickly and edged away before breaking into a run and disappearing around the corner.
Jim sighed, feeling sorry for Caroline, and wondered whether or not he should tell her what he’d seen.
