Alasdair was on duty tonight, Inspector Munro was off this evening, and Jamie was out on patrol. The dogs were in the kennels, and alasdair spent most of the time staring blankly at the walls. Alasdair couldn't get motivated at all tonight. Maybe it was just the tiredness. Maybe it was something else. He didn't know.

He stared at the map onto the wall which showed whitby. It had been sectioned off and showed each beat that had been altered since Alasdair had taken over and made better. He was proud of his team and they were doing well. He knew everyone's strengths and how to utilise them.

He'd already looked over who was in the cells tonight, it was a mostly the same names that appeared and a couple of new ones. He'd heard about the bar fight and already spoken to Lottie about bill and told her he was keeping bill in till the morning to sober up and let her calm down even though he hadn't said the last part. The beat they lived on was Constable Cranes and he was currently off duty.

Alasdair had poured coffee for himself & poured a second cup out for bill. He had been planning on taking him into the interview room. He heard the bell and walked towards the front area of the cells and realised the belk came from bills cell. He slid the bolt on the door and opened it before speaking "come on bill. Let's go chat in the other room" he said gesturing with his open hand to the hallway leading from the cells
