"Jim!" Tony shouted "Its nice to see you mate"
"And you"
Jim's eyes searched for June and when they found them, they stared at each other for a few seconds and then she turned away. She felt confused, one half of her was angry that he had returned, but the other half was delighted to see him.
"Well, well I never thought we would see you back in Sunhill Jim" Des said
"To be honest neither did I"
"Well what made you leave lovely New Zealand to return to Sunhill" Tony asked
"He missed us," Nick shouted
"Well some of you" Jim smiled "No the real reason is that the Sunhill is my home and I missed it"
"Oh you old softy" Tony said
"Nothings changed there then," Polly laughed
"Right, that's enough questions for now, you can continue catching up with PC Carver in your own time" Jack said firmly
"See you later Jim" Tony said, "We'll go for a drink or something"
"Ok, that would be nice"
"Right then Jim I will leave you to it" Jack said 'Oh and by the way you have your own office now too, things have moved on a little'
"Thanks"
Jack walked off and left Jim to settle back in. Jim turned around to look for June as he was eager to speak to her, but she had gone. "Welcome back Jim. Thanks June" Jim whispered to himself
Polly overheard him, "Jim don't worry about it, she's probably in shock. A lot of things have changed since you left including June."
Jim walked down the corridor and Polly followed him and started to fill him in on what had been happening.
Meanwhile June had gone down to the inspector's office to speak to Gina. "Ma'am, sorry to interrupt but can I have a word please" June asked
"Yes of course June, is something wrong?"
"You could say that"
"Come in and sit down"
June and Gina went into Gina's office and sat down. "Well?"
"It's Jim, he's back" June said
"What!" Gina looked shocked
"He's the replacement "
"Have you spoken to him?"
"No, I came straight down here. I don't know what to say to him"
"Oh June. How do you feel about his return?" Gina asked
"I wish I had been warned"
"It must be nice to see him again" Gina smiled
"No�Yes...or I don't know" June cried
"Don't upset yourself June"
"I thought that part of my life was behind me Gina"
"Do you still have feelings for him?" Gina asked
"I didn't think I did, but seeing him again"
"What?"
"Well, my heart skipped a beat, as soon as I saw him, just like it did two years ago"
"Oh June, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know" June said with tears running down her cheeks.
Gina gets up and hands her a tissue to wipe her eyes. "Thanks, oh look at me Gina, he's only been back five minutes and look at the affect he's had on me"
"It's only because you still love him" Gina replied
"No, no I don't, I must stop this, it was the shock of seeing him again that's all" June said unconvincingly
"I don't think so June"
"Jim's in the past, I am happy with Peter and he's the future" June said "Look, sorry to have bothered you, I must get back, they'll be wondering where I am"
June got up and left. She arrived back in CSU and continues to work on the pile of paperwork. "Sarge, Jim would like to see you in the office" Brandon shouted
"Ok Thanks" June replied as she walked towards the office door. She stopped outside the door, took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.
"Come in" Jim said
June opened the door slowly "You wanted to see me"
"Yes, come in and take a seat" Jim smiled "It's nice to see you June, your looking well"
"Yes I am thanks"
"June, I wanted to explain why I left the way I did"
"There's no need Jim, I have moved on now"
"Yes, I heard, Peter isn't it" Jim said
"Yes" June replied
"I hope you will be happy with him June"
June was a bit surprised by his response; her heart was pounding really fast. "Is that it Jim because I have a lot of work to do"
"Yes, that's it" Jim replied
June left his office with tears in her eyes, the way he wished her good luck with Peter must mean that he doesn't love her anymore, maybe he has found someone else too, June thought to herself.
The rest of the shift was quite quiet. At the end of the shift, Jim and a few members' of the relief went for a drink. June decided not to go, she went home on her own instead, she wasn't good company at the moment. She sat in her front room for hours in the dark thinking about Jim, trying to work out how she felt about him and whether he still had feelings for her. She looked through a small cardboard box, which contained photo's of her and her father, she smiled as she looked at the family photo's and then she came across one photo she had forgotten she had put in there. It was one of her and Jim at work, it was taken for and article in the paper on the CSU Unit; she had cut it out of the paper and kept it. She picked it up slowly and tears run down her face. "Oh Jim, why did you have to come back, everything was going fine until you came back" she said to herself. The phone rang several times while she sat there alone but she ignored it. Every phone call was Peter, he left message after message but she didn't feel like talking to him. She just sat on the sofa holding the picture of her and Jim and cried herself to sleep.
