'I'm not going to try an' talk you out of leaving, Shaz. I don't know why you'd want to leave, makes no sense to me. But...you're my colleague. You said ask no questions, so no questions will be asked.'
There aren't any questions that need asking, really. You're either a copper, or you're not. And she is.
"Thank you, sir." The first thing she thought of when he asked (ordered) to see her privately was that he was going to try and argue at her, try and change her position, though she has no idea why that'd happen. It's painfully obvious that she's not cut out for this. Even the thought of last night, or finding that girl... it's enough to make her want to run howling far, far away from all of this. She holds herself carefully, still not convinced this isn't going to get very loud.
He's as brave as a lion, and he don't have time for anyone who ain't.
After all. DI Drake wouldn't have run from those thugs last night. She didn't run from the body. She proves on a daily basis that she's just as tough as the lads. Shaz just isn't sure anymore that she can ever do the same.
She looks up from her contemplation of her clenched hands quickly, trying to gauge if he's just having one last go at her. For not being good enough. For wasting their time.
What she gets is the Guv in fully serious mode, that expression that comes out when they're all well and truly up against the wall.
"I know what you want me t'do, an' believe me, if I thought I was capable of doing it, I wouldn't be leaving...!" Her voice, much to her eternal embarassment, betrays her - it arcs upward in pitch as the panic of having this thrust upon her sets in.

He knows she will. He knows it. She's a copper, and she's got what it takes. She just needs to believe it.
