This story is called brief encounter and is based on the TV series ashes to ashes.

Alex sat on Gene's desk at the end of a very difficult day, he turned away and poured neat whiskey in to two glasses from a decanter located behind his desk. He quietly gave one of the glasses to Alex and as she took the glass from his outstretched arm, she caught a brief romantic gaze into his eye: and for a brief moment time stood still. Time reawakened only by the quiet talking of gene's husky voice asking her "you 'k bolly."

She didn't answer but sighed and took a small sip of the whiskey from the glass and felt its warmth trickle down her throat. Not able to stand the silence: Gene asked her a question almost too polite for his character "do ya wan' me to walk ya 'ome?

Stunned by the request she answered in a low whisper "yes"

They quietly left the office and walked along the cold street towards her house. They quietly talked about how things were going at work and how he thought that it's not wise for woman to walk the street alone especially in the middle of winter.

As they were about to cross a road Alex stopped her head hurting as the bowie clown came and stood next to her holding a gun to her temple he moved to face her and took the gun to molly. Gene was unaware that anything was wrong with Alex until he heard a high pitched scream "MOLLY" Gene snapped round to find Alex swaying from side to side and looking very pale. He took her in his arms, hugged her and gently whispered some thing in her ear.

Sorry this chap is so short they will get longer I promise.
