It actually looked like Ayden was going to sleep after all as he kept playing with strands of Gwen's hair. She posed a question that Alice had to consider. She already agreed that the village approach would work best with these growing babies. "It depends a lot on the case. A lot of them will show you the dark side of humanity and oddity kind. I'll give you an example". Then she told her about the case where an absolutely pointless robbery at a old town small grocers ended with only two survivors. The crime scene looked like something out of a Quinten Tarantino movie and then she had to tell the young girl who nearly died at the scene that she'd been orphaned that next night. That really hurt more than having to deal with the crime scene. She left names out but she knew that girl was now in the orphanage. "She actually killed one of the robbers before being shot herself. She didn't grow up soft but I hope she gets to be a girl before she does grow up". Then sometimes cases were simpler and easier to deal with. Not everything was a homicide or a drugs bust.

With every ounce of brightness you had to have darkness but it did not mean that you had to let that determine your life and it seemed like Alice knew that. "That sounds like a lot of blood," she said. Maybe this was not the best career choice for her but she was going to stick to the side of it that she was on none the less. "I do hope that for her too, life can be the one thing that makes you grow up before you are ready and that can suck." Alice Seraphim |

Being a cop was hard no matter what path you followed in that way. “If you end up as a detective you’ll see a lot of my partner and myself. Don’t forget no matter how bad things look that help is always there. I also suppose that we should get this little guy to bed. Unless you want to hold him longer” she softly replied. “It was a lot of blood. The most I’ve ever seen at one crime scene but I did find out more about her later on. She’s part of a triad family but being here might change that path. She did seem like a good girl but also a complex one” she added. Gwen Roberts |

"Well you know that is one thing that they are teaching me a change in what you are used to or where you are used to being actually helps more than it harms." It was hard for her to believe but at the same time she knew she felt better here than her previous home so maybe it held some truth. Alice Seraphim |

“Time here might well change her as it does everybody who settles down here” Alice replied in a quieter voice seeing her son fall fully asleep secure in his aunties arms. “I did have a lot to deal with too when I got here and got used to island life” she added now able to finish her dinner off at last. “I am hopeful for the future and more people arrive all the time who are looking to better themselves. It’ll be a lot more than just the city and a few scattered coastal villages before too long and there’ll be more settlements in years to come. So you might even be working in those locations” she mused. Gwen Roberts |

Her eyes widened because she had not thought about that. "Hell I need to get me a map in that case and look around more. The last thing that I want to do is get somewhere where I am unfamiliar and then be stuck without a way back." She did not know if that was possible but you always had to think ahead.

Alice could get Gwen the maps she needed quire easily in paper form and suggested “leave the maps to me. It depends how far you need to drive down but it’s still mainly coastal locations. Spots tourists won’t find for a good while yet for starters and I did go on a tour of these inland farms and small settlements a while ago. They’re doing alright but each settlement has a team of Ashford PD officers doing regular police work. Usually two of them but when we both have a day off we can go out on a drive to show you some of these locations”. She left briefly to get her tablet computer where she had various maps she’d need as part of her job. Gwen didn’t need the street level map of the slums just yet but that was there too. “I’ll put Ayden to bed and you can have a look over these”. Gwen Roberts |

She nodded. "Okay," she said. "If you want maybe we can do a mini case. Sometimes I get wind of things that are probably off of the books but would it really hurt to try? Let me know what you think when you get back and if no that is okay too." She was not going to push. Alice Seraphim |

So returning after Ayden was finally in his bed Alice replied after opening up the digital maps “you don’t learn everything in the classroom but if you do dig up something interesting let me know about it. You need backup in this job whatever you end up doing. By the way have you had your firearms training yet?”. She wouldn’t mind backing up Gwen but she could also show her helpful people in the slums. Th3 ones who could give you helpful bits of information even if they called her dirty Harriet. Gwen Roberts |

"Not yet I set up to do it first thing next week. I did not want to jump right into it and I have always felt like getting a little advice is better at first than just going into it, why do you ask?" Alice Seraphim |

Alice asked because she wasn't sure when it would be Gwen's turn but given the nature of this island you did need to be prepared for anything. "I just asked because it good to be prepared round here but it does seem to be in hand" she replied. "I carry an extra pistol since I'm also part of the security services. It's my off duty gun and the one I used when I first met Lucas. Let me show you" she added leaving briefly to get her police issue revolver in its holster. "You could end up with something like this as a carry gun. A .45 calibre police revolver. Six shots on double action but you end up with an automatic pistol". Showing it to Gwen would get her used to the weight she'd have to carry around with her. Something Dirty Harry would have used in his movie adventures only she had the cut down barrel. Gwen Roberts |

"I am trying to make sure that without a shadow of a doubt that I learn everything I need," she said. "Not only about the island but how everything around here works so that I know what we can do and if the place has a curfew or anything like that as well." She was not a study bug but she did not want to get in trouble at all. Alice Seraphim |

This was a question that Alice could answer. "As far as I am aware the only place here that has a curfew is the orphanage. Places like bars and clubs open till 4am but I don't think the watering holes in the slums even bother with local licensing laws. One time Greenback Sally took me to her closest slumside bar and I didn't even want to know where the liquor came from. Some of it didn't even have labels on it. At least the beer was passable and drinkable" she replied. Alice figured some of it might have been smuggled but more likely it was home brewed like moonshine was. She was staying well clear of local product unless it was the rum or beer. Gwen Roberts |

"A bar?" She was not a drinker but that sounded fun. "Do you go out sometimes?" she asked. She imagined that it might be hard but she seen no harm in asking still. Alice Seraphim |

The ever curious Gwen asked another question which needed an explanation. "I do get out now and again. It's how I met Lucas but Sally is a contact of mine who knows things. She runs a very minor criminal operation in the west slums where she converts stolen island debit cards into currency. I don't bust her because you need information sources in low places" she replied. Investigators needed this at times but Sally knew to not attract too much attention already. Gwen Roberts |
