It never ceased to amaze Caroline how interlinked mental and physical energy were. Even though she’d felt ready to sleep for weeks, the call from Sara Henshaw had provided a boost of energy like no other.
Her car hit the speed bumps along Ashwell Road a little harder than usual as she headed back to work, keen to see for herself what Sara had uncovered.
Sara could go on to big things — if she wanted to. Caroline was sure of that. But there was a clear lack of confidence in her, a sense that she didn’t appreciate her talents and value to the team anywhere near as much as others did. That was often the case in policing. The culture, stress and sheer lack of time meant positive reinforcement often fell by the wayside. Despite this, Sara always seemed to come up with the goods.
