Armchair Critics
“Since when is a pathologist also a handwriting analyst?” Robbie raises an incredulous eyebrow.
“And an expert in musical composition.” James smirks.
“An’ that DCI deserves demotion to uniform. Investigating a case involving personal friends! If Innocent got wind of that...”
James slowly draws a finger across his throat. Robbie grimaces.
“That’s not the worst, sir. This has put me off ever taking sick leave.”
“Eh?”
“Didn’t you notice? His sergeant calls in sick, and next thing he’s got a new bagman! A uniformed constable!”
Robbie grins. “You get sick, promise I won’t replace you with less than a DC.”
