While there was a lull in proceedings he set about clearing the pile of paperwork that had built up while he had been distracted by the murder inquiry. The chore had one silver lining, and a bright one at that: Jennifer. Amos had scorned the idea of an admin girl being added onto his team. If there is money to spare, let’s spend it on another police officer, he had told the Chief Constable. However, Amos had been forced to back down. He could not deny that the amount of paperwork was growing and that filling an increasing number of forms for every cough and splutter was not his forte. He regularly fell behind with the paperwork, and such as he did complete often bounced back as incomplete or unacceptable. Sarcasm sits uneasily on an official form. Indeed, matters would undoubtedly have come to a head sooner but for DC Yates, who seemed to have an affinity for painstaking nitpicking. Even Yates, though, could not entirely protect Amos from the Chief Constable’s growing frustration.
