-- ... But it may fail your defence... but it may harm your defence when you rely on...
Gina's appalled.
-- And they call PCSOs toy cops! How'd she get through probation?
She and Smithy speculate, over a pint. PC Amber Johanssen's not exactly impressive.
All bra and lashes and lies. What Boyden would have called a bungalow, although she
seems too sly for that.
-- Even Marilyn would do a better job.
-- I'm all for scenery. But there are limits. I give 'er six months, max.
-- Make it three, mutters Gina, lighting up. - And that's being generous.

Gina can't be gay. Everyone knows the rankers are sad old dykes. But Gina's
monolithic. Far too real to be dismissed that way. So it can't possibly be true.
Amber says as much, tartly, to Honey in the locker room.
The truth is, Amber can't imagine shagging anyone Gina's age. She dismisses the idea
out of hand.
Besides, if she was, she'd *say*, wouldn't she. She'd have tried something by now.
Amber's belief in her own irresistibility is unshakeable.
Still, somewhere in the back of her mind, she files the option away. An escape route,
phone-a-friend. It's always worked before.

-- Well done you, bellows Gina, pulling Ramani into a hug. -- It's about time your
lot got some recognition.
Ramani beams, accepting the compliment. It means more coming from Gina. Even if she
can't take the new language of management seriously.
-- It's a start, anyway.
-- Don't be so negative. Haringay swears by their VPU.
They step back as June pushes past, in tears. Again.
-- Poor woman. Must be hard, retiring.
Gina shakes her head meaningfully toward Jim, some way down the corridor. He's been
crying an' all.
-- The flowers of romance, she says, disastefully. -- Bollocks.

-- Tourist, says Jo comfortably. - I wouldn't, if I were you.
They're sitting companionably at the bar, watching the rest of the relief wind down.
Gina knows her in that shadowy way women coppers their age know each other. By
reputation, inclination. She's settled in fast. It's good to have her on board.
Amber's making a display of herself, as usual. More so, since there's an honest-to-
God dyke in the room. The boys seem to like it.
-- What makes you think I would?, she says, drinking up.
Her back aches, suddenly, as she waves to catch the barmaid's eye.
