Christmas? Who needed Christmas, for Christ’s sake? Wasn’t life difficult enough already?
Police Constable 866L, Paula Middleton, cruised the early evening streets of Brixton, South London, noting the houses with fairy lights and flashing neon reindeer in the front windows. The big bizz machine of buy, buy, buy had been at full power since Halloween. This year she just hadn’t been able to capture the mood.
She swung the Ford Focus into the shadowy yard of Meadowchef Foods, a big wholesale supplier to cafés and restaurants. Trucks queued to load and unload at the line of warehouse doors. Mixed with the diesel smoke, flecks of icy sleet showed up in the headlamps. That’s all she needed. Her assignment was routine. The manager wanted to discuss a hike in thefts. She parked the car and tried to find her professional concerned-and-interested face. She knew from experience that often the staff were the principal suspects. The wages here were low, the staff shifting and often without immigration papers. They would watch a cop show up and just maybe think twice before they stole again. No one would thank her for turning over too many stones.
There was a shout, and dodging between the trucks was a running male figure, clasping something under his jacket. In her soul she sighed. She was forty-one years old, thirteen years of service, and still on the bottom rank. Did she still have the dynamism to chase this guy alone, out into the dark streets? She was a cop. She had to be something genuine.
She was breathing hard, but gaining. The guy was still clutching his prize inside his jacket, making it hard for him to run. He hadn’t looked round and maybe didn’t know she was behind in the shadows. As a community officer she knew many of the local citizens, criminal or otherwise. There was something familiar about the guy ahead of her. There was something familiar about the guy ahead of her.
