My first A2A fanfic, I know the series has been finished for like a year but I love it so much! Wish it was still on :L but the ending was brill (sad but brill) anyway this is part 1 of my story. Enjoy! Just to say I don't own the show or the characters – wish I did!
Chapter 1
"And how the flamin' hell is it MY fault Mrs Fruitcake?" Gene yelled
"Don't bloody Mrs Fruitcake me, isn't it a tad on the obvious side? Beating someone up during an interview probably isn't the best way of getting information out of a main suspect. Had you have left me alone to have a civilised conversation with him about it then we might just have something!" She shouted back in an equally as angered tone as Gene.
"Oh yeah 'cos your psychology bollocks goes down a treat with mass murderers doesn't it?" He shouted back at her.
"Jesus, I think less noise were made in t' war" Ray said, sounding rather annoyed.
"Awww I think its kinda sweet, a lovers tiff" Shaz said whilst grinning.
"Lovers tiff my arse, I mean she's a fit bird an' all but if that's what bein' in love with her's meant to be like then I'd rather swan dive into a deep fat fryer." Ray replied back grumpily.
"How can it be a lovers tiff if they aint a couple?" Chris asked confused.
"Are you a twonk or what?" Ray asked.
"I'm only askin' a legit question" Chris said.
Shaz rolled her eyes and went off to make each of them a cup of tea.
Back to the argument
"I don't even know why I put up with you Guv!" Alex shouted.
"Yes and I don't know why the bleedin' hell you transferred here! Can't say it floats my boat putting up with a posh gobby cow everyday!" He screamed.
"You know what; I don't even know why I transferred here! And I can't say it 'floats my boat' putting up with a borderline alcoholic chimney who has no respect for women!" She screamed.
"No respect for women? What d'ya want me to do, polish yer shoes and kiss yer feet? Ever since you came into the force I have given you respect! I've saved your life god knows how many times, I've defended you in arguments and that means I haven't got respect for women? Jesus Christ Bolls!" He shouted angrily.
"Well if you had that much respect for women then maybe you'd still be married!" She shouted back before opening his office door and leaving the room.
"Oi Drake, get your arse back here, I'm not finished with this!" He barked.
Alex turned around, tears pricking in her eyes and said "Yeah well guess what, I am!"
Chris, Ray and Shaz didn't know where to put themselves, their mouths hung ajar; they gave piercing stares towards the Guv.
A few moments after, Gene broke the awkward silence by shouting "Yes, shows over! Get back to work; I don't pay yer to sit around and stare at me like you've shit yourselves!" He then returned to his office, slamming the door and then kicking the filing cabinet.
"Do you think I should maybe go and talk to him?" Shaz said.
"Dunno, I mean he's in a stinkin' mood" Ray said back.
"Yeah he is but all this arguing is drivin' me up the wall... The pair of them are constantly at each other's throats... What happened to being "unbreakable" eh?" Shaz said.
"Yeah I agree with Shazza" Chris said.
"Ok then, here goes" Shaz said, walking towards the Guv's office.
Knock knock "Yeah?" Gene shouted.
Shaz slowly opened the door before saying "Ermm Guv, I was wonderin' if I could have a word?"
Gene nodded and Shaz sat down. "Well, I don't mean to intrude but I was you know just..."
"Spit it out Granger" Gene said, rather impatiently.
"Well it's about you and DI Drake, the team have noticed your ermmm very argumentative these days" Shaz said sheepishly.
"Yes that's right, we are. You see Lady Bolls doesn't agree with my method of policing, in fact nowadays we never see eye to eye on anything" Gene said in a miserable tone of voice.
"Why don't you talk to her about it? She's your DI you should be able to talk to her about things. It's not healthy for the team all this arguing, aren't we meant to be unbreakable?" Shaz asked in a gentle tone.
"Its talking to her that causes the arguments love, as for unbreakable, I think we're broke" He said.
"Are you in love with her Guv?" Shaz asked
"Didn't know you were London's answer to Casanova." Gene replied sarcastically.
"Just answer the question!" Shaz said.
He sighed before quietly answering "Yes".
A smile crept on to Shaz's face, "Yeah you can stop with the Cheshire Cat grin" He said icily.
"Look, go around to her's and tell her exactly what you've just told me, it'll make her day. I mean it's made my day and it aint even about me" She laughed.
Gene smiled in return "Yeah but Shaz what do I say to her? You know I don't do all the nancy poofter lovey dovey shite."
"Just be yourself Guv, she knows what you are so don't try to be something that you're not" She replied.
"Ok, and ermm thanks Shaz" He said gently.
She nodded and walked out of his office. He put his coat on, grabbed his keys and headed for Bolly's flat, he only hoped he was doing the right thing.
TBC – Let me know what you think people!
