Chapter 002

Bryan Finished the pint in his hand Noticing in the glasses reflection the approaching Beth, he turned in her direction before she reached him.

"Oh urm hi A few of us uniform are in the booth in the corner We wondered if you'd join us urm Guv"

Bryan eyed her briefly "Why not, Lead the way PC…" Bryan started

"Green, Beth Green,

"How very MI6 of you, Green, Beth Green" Bryan teased the PC Leading him over to the group of Female PC's

"Ladies, It's Great to meet you all, You already know me from briefing, Care to return the favour?"

"PC"

"We're not at work Now I don't need nor do i care about Rank"

"Emma" The brunette Introduced

"Sally"

"Millie"

"And Just for the sake of cooperation I'm Bryan, I've been given the lay of the land by Smithy but Tomorrow I'm mucking in After all i may be An inspector, against my better judgement but I work like a Sergeant"

"So Guv urm i mean Bryan, What exactly have the Force done I still don't quite understand the situation with firearms" Emma asked

"My Unit have been spread across the boroughs, To Act as Duty firearms officers long term it will be everyone carrying Sun Hill was my posting I got quite lucky"

"How's that, Lucky?" Beth asked

"Sun Hill already has three officers with experience so my job is easier, It means i spend less time explaining how to load a gun and more time Being a copper like the old days"

"Old days?" Emma enquired

"My early days on the Squad back in the DC Moore Days, The Flying Squad oh the fun" Bryan reminisced

"I think i remember my dad Telling me about DS Mitchell and DC Moore, He was not a fan, how did he put it?... a Pair of Cowboys"

Bryan raised his hands "I plead Guilty Officer, We did drive around like the Sweeney, a bit"

The girls Laughed "When my dad Vanished I took time off and went off the rails Then my Dad's old partner, DI Fielding found me and brought me back giving me my stripes in the process"

"Your dad was in the job?" Beth asked

Emma scoffed "In the Job?, Beth his dad was At St Saviour's"

"Bloody hell St Saviours we did case studies on that at Hendon"

Bryan smiled Sadly

"oh sorry I just i've heard of that" Beth Apologised

Bryan waved off her apology

"It was a long time ago, I'm over it my job now is the safety of the people and if i do say so myself I'm good at it"

Bryan finished his drink and Stood up

"We're on shift tomorrow ladies I'll see you at Parade"

Sun Hill the Next Morning

Parade Room

Bryan walked into the room

"Ah DI Moore you're joining us Today?" Smithy asked

"I could do with learning the Ground So If it's all the Same to you Inspector, I'll Pair with one of your team and join in"

"Be my guest, PC Roberts you and PC Gayle can Baby Sit DI Moore" Smithy teased

"Sir" Nate replied as Smithy paired himself with Tony and Sally with Emma.

As the Officers Filed out of the room PC's Roberts and Gayle approached Bryan

"Alright Guv I'm PC Nate Roberts and the big lad is PC Ben Gayle" both PC's offered their hands Bryan shook them "Nice to meet you boys, I'm DI Bryan Moore, you're the experienced one today you call the shots"

"Alright That's great, So what's our next move?"

"Let's head to my office and grab Bullet vests" Bryan Added

After a few minutes of Gearing up Bryan reached onto the desk taking a clip of Ammunition Pushing it into the Walther and Holstering the Gun.

The Radio crackled into life

"All units from Sierra Oscar Shots Fired at the Canley Building Society Firearms Officer to respond?"

Bryan looked to The two PC's "We'll handle that"

Ben tapped his Radio "Sierra Oscar from 795 show myself, 876 and DI Moore attending"

"795 From Sierra Oscar Ok Nate, CO19 will be right behind you

The Three Officers walked from the office To the Car Park getting into the Car Nate Driving to the Location.

"Ok Guv we're nearly there around the corner" Nate said Bryan nodding in understanding

As the Car pulled up the officers looked around There was a badly parked Car and a broken window on the Building Society

Through the window a Man in a Mask could be seen pointing a gun at a suited man and actively shouting

"Lads i'm going to get a closer look" Bryan said getting out of the car drawing his gun

He stalked towards the building Staying out of sight but within earshot.

"Armed Police drop the Weapon" He called out the Robber looked around Spotting the Armed Bryan gun pointed forward

"come closer and i'll Blow this guys head off" the armed robber yelled

"Listen mate you have no idea what you are getting yourself into Drop the gun save us all a difficult afternoon, there are heavily armed police just around the corner who won't hesitate"

"Difficult Afternoon you're a copper you can't do anything"

Bryan laughed

"Buddy you have no idea what i can and cannot do So my advice is drop the gun before i blow your hand off, and yes i am that accurate"

From the Car Ben reported on what was happening

the radio burst into life "PC Gayle does DI Moore require Assistance?"

"DI Moore is Talking to the Armed Robber As we speak How far away are CO19?"

"ARV will be 10 minutes, Assist DI Moore however you can"

Ben got out of the Car and walked over to Bryan who was still Aiming at the Robber

"Alright Guv?"

"Doesn't seem willing to drop the gun PC Gayle

"Alright mate what's your name?" Ben asked The robber

" Alex, Alex Gaunt"

"Alex What's your intent here, You don't strike me as a Professional More armed officers are on the way, Please do us all a favour and give us the gun"

"I Can't if I do that I won't get my Family Back"

"Alex we will help you if you help us Let the man go and come with us to Sun Hill We'll do what we can to help you"

Alex Turned the gun in his hand Reaching out The weapon handle first Bryan indicated with his firearm for Ben to take it, Ben took the Gun and Put it in an evidence bag after bryan had emptied the chamber.

Bryan lowered the gun Approaching Alex

Nate came over too

"All yours PC Gayle

"Alex Gaunt, I'm arresting you for Armed Robbery, You don't have to say anything but anything you do say will be recorded" Ben Said administering the Caution and leading Alex to the Car.

Back at Sun Hill

Ben led the Cuffed prisoner into the custody area Bryan not far behind, as Nate parked the car joining them shortly there after.

The man Securely loaded into the Cell

The three Officers walked to the custody Desk

"If what he says is true Guv we'd better go and see Will Upstairs Kidnapping and Ransoms are a CID case" Ben Suggested

"Lead the way boys, I still havent had my tour" Bryan quipped.
