I never wanted to be the bad person, the dirty cop with a secret, I just needed the money. I just wanted the best for my family, the life they deserve, that’s hard to do on a detectives salary in London. I knew the only hope for me was the Detective Chief Inspectors job, but that went to Superintendent Masens son, Adam. He’s not a bad kid really, he is smart, intelligent, dedicated. I just got older, every case became more mentally and physically draining, and I knew I had no hope of ever getting that job. So I got involved with the wrong people just to pay the bills, I didn’t realise how bad it would be at first, the less money I had, the more I gambled it all away with the hope of a big win, something to set me free from where I was. I ended up taking bribes and backhanders so they didn’t come for me…now I’m in too deep and I’m trapped in this world that I can’t get out of. I didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt, especially not Baker. Words can’t describe how guilty I feel, and I hope one day I’ll be able to forgive myself too.
