As a general rule, being chased down by determined police officers tends to be a deterrent to would-be thieves. Unfortunately, the ones in Sandford are either very stubborn or very thick, which is why Nicholas Angel is in the middle of his third foot chase of the week as he sprints through the door. There's a slightly undignified stumble as the

Danny's not too far behind Nicholas in the chase, but Christ is that guy fast. And as if by some kind of gravitational pull, he's also sucked into Milliways -- but he can't stop himself in time before he crashes bodily into him.

In order to not send them both tumbling to the floor, there's a fair bit of grabbing and flailing and some more stumbling, and miraculously, Danny manages to keep himself and Nicholas upright.

He apologetically straightens out Nicholas's shirt.

"Sorry. Heh."

[uksupercop]

"'S alright."

In fact he doesn't look at all happy, but that's definitely not Danny's fault.

"Hell of a time to end up here."

[badboybutterman]

Danny rubs the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

"We were so close, too. But at least the little bugger ain't going nowhere while we're in here."

[uksupercop]

"Good point. You'd think they'd learn, really."

[badboybutterman]

"They're prob'ly taking bets, seein' if they can get away with it."

[uksupercop]

He shrugs.

"It's almost a relief, in a way. It was way too quiet after... you know."

[badboybutterman]

He sighs. "Yeah... Actually kinda good to get out on the streets again like this."

[uksupercop]

"The paperwork is probably piling up as we speak."

[badboybutterman]

He rolls his eyes.

"Nick, didn't I tell you not to say the P-word today?"

[uksupercop]

"Sometimes you have to say the P-word."

...The scowl may be more of a pout now.

[badboybutterman]

"No. Not today. Cos I said so. Now you owe me a quid for sayin' it."

He holds out his open palm, wiggling his fingers in a 'hand it over' gesture.

[uksupercop]

"This is so ridiculous..."

Nevertheless, he digs out a pound note and places it in Danny's outstretched hand.

[badboybutterman]

He smirks and tucks the note into his pocket.

"No, it's unridiculous, as it's the only way to get you to stop sayin' the P-word."

[uksupercop]

Nick rolls his eyes right back at Danny.

"If you say so."

[badboybutterman]

"Don't roll your eyes at me, Inspector."

[uksupercop]

"Why not?"

Maturity is so overrated.
