I thank you for the praise and for leaving a comment!

Thank you! This one was quite an effort, as you know

Patience, love*, patience! *In some parts of England, the default form of address is "love", or better "luuve". Imagine a spotty teenager at a counter at a fast food restaurant asking me, "What can I do for you, luuve?"

Thank you! Everything will be answered (I hope) in due course ... the fullness of time...

Thx! I think Jamie feels the same way.

Thank you so much! Honestly, I hate the American "endearment" "babe" or "baby". So, yes, it is a dash of humour.

Thank you! No, Specials neither get the driving nor Firearms training This was all pieced together from training experiences I had (I was taken apart on the simple driving course) and tales from colleagues, and, in case of the protection course, Googling and Youtube.

Again, thank you! They all should be relatable in their own way. Yes, even RMW My hubby knows me like no other and a lot of stuff I would not have done, turned out to be necessary/better because he knows me. This was a little homage

Thank you so much! I have tried making the special powers a part of him, not the defining feature.

Well, I am impressed how romantic people are. After three months, people are just still getting to know each other...

Yep.

True, he was just busy. That is what I loved about police work. You could just forget anything else.

Yes, no joke, all true. The problem was never paperwork as such, but the lacking support material. Most paperwork had to be created digitally, then printed out, signed (bey either the officer and/or a person concerned e.g. a witness) and then scanned back in (!). One night, I was the only guy in the station, doing my paperwork. The main printer was out of toner. I knew where the toner was kept (I am nosy), but that was locked (also for regular officers). So, trying to find another printer which were just numbered in active directory, not described where they were. So, I send a test page to one after another to find one that worked (of course it was the second to last one!!!). Just took an hour running around the station going to so about every office hub to find the printer in question. Then, I was able to sign my stuff... to just repeat the procedure to find a working scanner, going to each printer, scan something to send it to me where I had to type my bloody long police email address on these stupid small non-sensitve touch-screens.... half an hour later I was back at the desk, was able to complete the process just to print it all out as handover package (!). Problem was that it had to be stapled. The staplers in the office hub I was in where out of ammunition... *sigh* I left a note for any subsequent officers telling them which devices worked that night. I was told it was much appreciated.

Thank you! LOL. Can you elaborate? Well, it sees British Police are quite tame. We did not have offending ones. we had diversity training to the wazoo, but it worked!

I was about to enter the lion’s den. “Good morning. My name is Jamie Lewis Artois, I’ve been told to report here.” Three public order trainers were seated in the small office. They ignored me and only just before it got awkward, one of them got up and looked at me dismissively. “Not enough that you get special treatment for some reason. You’re small. How tall are you?” I looked up at that hulk of a man. “One seventy-nine or five ten in old money.” I’d known my being here woul

True, 10 blue light runs, edited by Nam I would say that hardly qualifies him as digital native living in Instagram, TikTock, and what they all are.

Yes, it is only learned behaviour. That is why religions always want to control education and children! No sane adult would believe the stuff being taught if they had never had any exposure to any religion before. Hate forms a common enemy. A common enemy binds together. It is necessary for any group's identity to be somehow different from the others so that being in the group is "good" being outside is "bad".

To a degree that is correct. While I do not know about a circle jerking club, I described it in the information Jamie found out about RMW: Harrow Public School and Cambridge University. The British still suffer from a class system. It is ingrained in so about everything.

Give Jamie a chance.

True, but he was very busy creating all the handovers. Also, it is not advisable to have the private phone blaring all the time, so most officers keep it silent. Also, Jamie is not a keen social media user...

I am sorry to read that, There is a difference between a deliberate action and circumstances. Jamie is a victim of circumstances.
