DISCLAIMER: Not mine, but I don't mind.  The smile on
            Maguire's face when Yates goes for him in
            Ep 2.8 just about makes up for it.

The Best Friend Money Can Buy
by kel
=============================


Do you like looking at pictures of naked women, Frank?

Maguire stares at his laptop, resisting the urge to kick
fuck out of his former partner.

Has to be him.

Paddy doesn't talk any more. Paddy doesn't stay. Paddy didn't
make DI, and it's poisoned everything.

Computer porn. Women? Christ.
A DS should have more imagination.

Frank didn't make DI either but nobody gives a fuck
about that. Least of all Frank. He likes working for
someone else; only went for the bloody thing to
show willing.

And now Paddy smiles, coldly, and loses evidence.
Paddy goes home, without him.
