Liz's P.O.V
I sat at my desk as I listened to Inspector Fowler talk about...I have no clue what. I don't hate where I am at the moment, it's just very quiet here not much happens. Not like back in America, mind you in Miami I had to investigate murders here we barely have shoplifters. I glance to my left and see Goody trying to follow what Fowler is saying. Beside him Gladstone is drinking a cup of tea,sat behind me is Habib.

It sure is a lot quieter here in Gasforth but that is why I chose to come back here. After learning that Amanda Wroth was out to get me,I thought of a back up plan in case I needed to hide somewhere. I picked Gasforth because that is where I am originally from but nobody knows this. I always tell people that I am from London, of course I left clues back in Miami to where I am,but so far nothing. Either they haven't checked my locker or they can't figure out my clues. There not that hard to work out surely.

I am pulled from my thoughts by the arrival of Derek Grimm,head of C.I.D and one annoying git. I watched as Grimm had a word with Fowler about something but paid little attention. Luckily my work day is almost over, 8am-8pm is my shift,then its the night shift or graveyard shift. Its different than a CSI, there you never know when a body may be found.

When 8pm rolled around we all headed to the lockers and changed from our uniforms back into our own clothes and handed in any last minute paper work to the desk Sargent. I walked with Fowler back home as we live close to each other. Raymond Fowler is the only one who knows why I am back in Gasforth.

"Any news from your American friends?" Ray asks as he pushes his bicycle
"Nothing yet" I say"Well it has only been two months,they are probably getting used to my replacement "
"Surely they won't have replaced you?" Ray asks
"They have to,Amanda thinks I'm dead and to keep up that idea someone has to take my place in the lab" I explained.

"Its all rather exciting really,knowing something Grimm doesn't" Ray says
"For you maybe" I say sadly
"Oh I didn't mean to upset you or anything" Ray says hurriedly
"Don't worry about it,I just miss my friends is all" I say
"I would love to go to America one day" Ray says
"Take a holiday there,I'm sure you would love it" I tell him.

"I've never had a holiday, in all my years of service I've never had a day off" Ray reminds me
"I know,but it couldn't hurt" I say
"I'm certain Grimm would love to meet your American chums" Ray adds
"But they wouldn't like to meet him" I say
"That is true,how his wife has put up with that fowl git,is a mystery to all"
"Certainly even Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve that one."
