Kim felt sick. ‘You thinking what I’m thinking?’

‘Dawson wants me back at the site straight away.’

Bryant chuckled. ‘Woody wants me to get you back to the station within the same timeframe and last I heard, talented as you are, you’ve yet to master being in two places at the same time.’ He turned to her. ‘So, Guv, column A or column B?’

Kim looked at him and raised one eyebrow.
