TEAM SPIRIT - Part 2 Continued

Dave's off out during part of his refs. Outside he passes Chief Superintendent Charles Brownlow and Chief Inspector Conway, who are arriving at the station after some sort of meeting.
"Quite an impressive chap!" Brownlow remarks about the driver of their car. "Just the sort of young blood we need."
"Yes, till he applies for you job, Sir!"
"Excuse me, Mr Brownlow," Clive Tarrant interrupts them. "I wondered if you'd like to make a comment about the situation with WPC Fox."
"Who?"
"New WPC, Sir," Conway explains.
"I'm not aware of any situation, Mr Tarrant." Brownlow doesn't have a clue about what's been going on.
"I assume you know about the complaint against PC Santini?"
"Complaint?"
"No comment, Clive," Derek wisely answers.
"Perhaps I can talk directly to WPC Fox."
"Sod off, Clive! I'll call you!" Conway tells him. The senior officers make their way inside.
"What the hell was that about?" Brownlow asks. "Who's he been talking to?"
"I'll find out, Sir."
"Fox, is she some kind of trouble-maker?"
"I'll find that out aswell, Sir."

Liz is working on Rosie's case in the CID office. She finishes talking to a friend, Viv, and seems to be getting somewhere. "Is that about Rosebud?" Jim asks.
Liz ignores him. "Well is it?" Rod persists.
"It's got nothing to do with you."
"Liz, I thought you had a head on your shoulders!"
"Bog off, Rod!"
"Are you really going to stick your neck out for her?" Jim questions her.
"I'm a friend, Jim."
"But is she yours?" Don says from behind her. "That's what you've got to ask yourself.
"I don't have to, Sarge. I've got you to tell me all about it!" She walks out. DI Deakin comes in and looks around, trying to work out what's just gone on.

People keep watching Rosie and moving away from her as she walks down the corridor to the Women's Locker-room. She stops just outside it, and listens to her colleagues talking about her behind her back.
"She must be mad. She knows we'll back him all the way!" says Polly. The others agree. Head held high, Rosie walks in. The room falls silent as she goes to her locker.
"We were just wondering what's really going on in your head, Rosie," Vicky speaks up. Jamilla tells her to leave it. "We've just heard about the last time this happened, when you were at Hendon."
"That was years ago, alright!"
"Eddie thinks you could do with some professional help!"
Polly suggests that they leave. Liz comes in soon after to find Rosie alone, and starting to panic. "Liz! I really don't think I can do this!"
"Hold on, Rosie, calm done."
"They've just found something out about me."
"What?"
"Something that happened while I was at Hendon."
"Which is?"
"Three blokes had been giving me a hard time throughout the course for being a graduate, decided to lock me in a mortuary for four hours and call it an accident. Of course it all got out of control and I complained. There were plenty of people who knew about. Everyone was too intimidated to back me up!"
"Well don't panic, 'cause I think I've found an even bigger dint in Eddie's armour," Liz triumphantly tells her.
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you outside."

"What've you got?" Rosie asks Liz as soon as they get into the yard.
"Did you know that Eddies was a TI who got put back into uniform?"
"Yes."
"But do you know why?"
"I think Dave told me something about a bent DI, but I don't know…" Rosie begins.
"That was one of the stories. The other was that he was had up for sexual harassment."
"You are kidding!" Rosie exclaims, shocked.
"The officer concerned dropped the complaint and left the job, so nothing was put on his record."
"So do you know who she is?"
"She does security for a software firm in Hoxton. I thought we might pay her a visit."

Dave goes into pub to meet a friend, Jono. "Sounds very aggravated down your way at the moment," Jono says, after they've briefly caught up.
"That's one way of putting it."
"So, I did that bit of digging around you needed."
"I appreciate it."
"No problem. Eddie Santini, not exactly a favourite of mine."
"Well it's not my style as a rule, but this is…well, it could get a bit messy for a lot of people."
"Well there's various stories still doing the rounds, but there was one about a WPC I thought might interest you." He hands Dave some pieces of paper. "There's a name and a few in there if you want to follow it up."
"Cheers, mate."

Liz and Rosie are off to meet Jan Lockett. Liz quickly introduces themselves. "It's no a company problem, it's a personal matter," she tells Jan. They go into her office. Jan's tall, slim and has blonde (She doesn't strike me as Eddie's type though, judging by his other girlfriends.)
"What sort of personal matter?"
"You were in the job until a few years ago, weren't you?" says Rosie.
"Yes I was. CID over at Spicer Street."
"And you worked with a TI called Eddie Santini there, yeah?"
Jan begins to act more defensively. "Why is that relevant?"
"He transferred to Sunhill a year ago," Liz informs her.
"So?"
"We understand that the reason you left the job was because the sexual harassment charge you made was dropped. That charge was against Eddie Santini. That's true isn't it?" Liz asks.
"Yes it's true. If you're here to dredge up my past though, I'm really not interested."
Rosie tries to persuade her to help. "Look, Jan, I'm his latest victim. He sexually assaulted me at my nick three weeks ago."
"And since then he's made her life hell," Liz adds.
"He did the same to you, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did," Jan reluctantly tells them.
"The thing is I'm in a really difficult position at the moment," Rosie begins. "I've got no cooberation for anything that's happened. What I'm trying to get is some kind of support…" Jan stops her. "I know this is really hard me bringing this up now…"
"Wait, stop a sec. I know what it's like to be the object of Eddie Santini's weird obsessions with women. I lived with it for a year, but I can't help you."
"But you're out of the job now. What difference does it make," Liz says.
"What difference? I don't think you really understand. It took me a very long time to get over what happened. I lost a lot more than just my job, and noone, absolutely noone, did a thing to stop it or him!" She turns to Rosie. "I'm really sorry for you, but nothing you can say will make me open up that box again." She asks them to leave. "And I'd like my name kept out of whatever you do from here."

Outside, Dave comes round the corner and spots Rosie and Liz coming out of the building. He hides behind a wall and waits for them to go.
"It's hopeless, isn't it? I should never have started this whole thing!"
"It's a bit late for that now, Rosie!" Liz points out.
"It proves I'm not going crazy, doesn't it."
"Yes."
"What the hell do I do now?" I think Dave's found what he came for.
