Derek went pale His eyes flicked to Jack

“Not ex A reinstated police officer”

Davina beamed at him

“You got your job back!”

Jack smiled coldly, his eyes on Derek

“You can consider this assault on an officer”

Davina heard Derek s hard She watched poor stupid Derek as he worked through his options She saw the moment when he came to the conclusion that heto throw the book at hi was over She had to act, before he did

“How about a nice cup of tea while you tell us what you want to do?” she said to Derek

Derek thought about that

“It won’t take a tick,” Davina said

She slipped behind Derek to reach for the teapot He grabbed her wrist and waved the stun gun at her She heard a low guttural growl co from Jack

“Don’t do anything stupid,” Derek said

“Oh, darling,” Davina said in her most flirtatious voice “It’s a bit late for that You’ve already met Jack, haven’t you?”

She shrugged out of his grip as she reached for the teapot Her breathing was ragged

“Be a dear,” she told Derek, “and get the cups They’re in the cupboard beneath you”
