DC Jo Masters and DS Phil Hunter sat in the blue unmarked CID car across the round from Island Road psychiatric centre.

'This is ridiculous.' Jo said irritably.

'I know, but both Zain and the DI are hell-bent on catching Pete Larson for something.'

'I mean, if Pete Larson was going here, I might have known about it before, without having to sit here for ages.' Jo carried on, ignoring Phil's comment.

'Why's that?' Phil asked, 'You go here?'

'My girlfriend works here, she's a psychiatrist.' Jo explained.

'Oh, I didn't know that.' Phil said, he didn't fancy Jo, but was still a bit put out that she would never even consider him.

'Why would you?' Jo asked, before spotting Pete Larson walk round the corner across from them. 'Here we go.'

'Looks like your girlfriend doesn't tell you everything.' Phil digged.

'Why would she? It's patient confidentiality.' Jo said, shooting him down easily. Phil shut up and sulked, much to Jo's amusement, who tried her hardest to not smile. 'What will this do anyway? We can't nick him for visiting a shrink.' Despite himself, Phil laughed.

'Come on, let's go back to the station to tell them.' He said and started up the engine.

Jo and Phil stood in Neil Manson's office with Neil and Zain.

'Why didn't you nick him?' Zain asked irrationally.

'You can't nick someone for visiting a shrink.' Jo pointed out for the second time that day, this time, no one laughed.

'Jo's girlfriend works there, maybe she's got some information we could use against him.' Phil said. Jo closed her eyes in regret. 'I never should have told him that.' She thought to herself.

'She won't tell anything.' Jo said, defending her girlfriend.

'Why not?' Zain asked. 'She could have what we need to arrest him.'

'Patient confidentiality.'

'We could get a warrant for his files.' Neil suggested.

'On what grounds?' Jo asked, she was getting frustrated, they were getting obsessed with Pete Larson. 'I suggest we just forget about him and see if anything comes up another time. There's nothing on him.'

'She's got a point.' Neil sighed. 'We have to move on.'

Just then there was a knock on the door and Suzie Sim came in.

'Guv, there's been a violent incident at Island Road Psychiatric Centre, a Miss Sasha Devon's been assaulted by a client, she's downstairs with the FME.'

'What?' Jo said, before walking past Suzie and running down the stairs to the FME's room.

'Bets on who Sasha is to Jo?' Phil said.

'I'll go talk to her, see who did it.' Zain offered.

Zain walked into the FME's room to find a Jo holding the hand of a slim young woman with long, straight blonde hair and lovely blue eyes. He took in his breath, this beautiful woman with Jo can't be a lesbian, surely! Jo turned at the sound of his intake of breath and smiled at him.

'She's not pressing charges Zain.' She said.

'Oh, why not?' Zain aimed the question at Sasha.

'In our job, we have to expect things like this happening.' Sasha explained as the FME dabbed TPC onto her eye where she had been hit.

'Accept her decision Zain.' Jo warned as Zain opened his mouth to speak again. He closed it again before smiling and leaving the room without another word. 'He's one who's obsessed with catching Pete Larson.'

'Why would he think that Pete Larson did this?' Sasha asked.

'Me and Phil were stationed outside the Centre this morning and saw him entering.' Jo explained.

'I think Zain needs an appointment if he's that irrational.' Sasha smiled. Jo laughed. 'Pete Larson's a client of mine, but he wound up another client, who hit me. It was all an accident.'

'There you go. You'll have a nice bruise though.' The FME said.

'Thank you.' Sasha thanked her and the FME left the room. Sasha stood up and kissed Jo on the lips.

'What was that for?' Jo asked, smiling.

'For everything.'

'Are you going home now?' Jo asked.

'No, I've got one more person to see before I go home.'

'Do you want a lift back?'

'Yes please.'

Before Jo had got back from dropping Sasha off the gossip of Jo's girlfriend had gone all the way through CID. As soon as Jo walked through the doors, everyone stopped talking and looked at her. Jo sighed.

'Okay, what's been said?' she asked.

'Zain said that you're girlfriend's, ummm, 'hot'.' Sam spoke up.

'Well, she is. And great in bed. Anything else you'd like to know?' Jo said. Everyone looked back down to their work but it was a lot quieter than before.
