I haven't written anything in such a long time and this is my first Ashes to Ashes fic. It's just a little idea that came to me. I don't know how long it's going to be, it depends on where the mood takes me and if you guys like it. I don't own Ashes to Ashes so please don't sue me.
Behind Blue Eyes
Chapter 1 - Remember Me
Alex is blissfully sleeping in her bed. She's dreaming about her and Gene. They're stood in some kind of park, holding hands and Gene's smiling face beams down at her. She smiles and leans in to kiss him but Molly appears out of nowhere. Yelling and running towards her. Begging her to remember. The words ring in her ears. "Remember her, Mummy. Please remember." She looks back at Gene but he's not there anymore. Instead there's older girl in his place who looks like a younger version of herself but with piercing blue eyes. The girl smiled at her and said "Remember me". Molly chimes in. "Remember her. Remember us." At that moment, Alex woke up very confused. She looks at the clock. It's 6 o'clock in the morning. Plenty of time to get ready.
She sits there at her kitchen table staring into her coffee mug, not caring that the liquid has long gone cold. She thinks back to her dream. "Why do I need to remember her?" she whispers to herself. "Who is she, Molly?"
A banging on the door jolts her out of her musings and a gruff voice shouts "Bolly, get your arse out of bloody bed"
"Shit" as she looks at her watch. It's ten past nine. She was late for work. Again. The third time this week. 'Gene is going to kill me' she thought.
"Bolly, if you don't open this door now, I'll bloody break it down" Gene bellows.
"Bloody impatience bastard" she mutters as she opens the door.
"I heard that, Madame Fruitcake. What's the excuse this time? Well, I don't have time fer 'em. Get ya slap on and let's go. There's been another murder." and with that, he walks out the door. Alex grabs her coat and runs after him.
Alex gets in the Quattro and nearly puts on her seatbelt but a glance from Gene stops her. She sighs. "I'm sorry, Guv. I'm not sleeping well" Well, it's not a complete lie. I'm not. Weird dream about a girl I need to remember and you. "Got a lot on my mind"
"Well, snap out of it. I'm not havin' someone on my team, that's constantly late with 'er mind on other things, I need you on the focused and on the ball, Bolls. We have two murders to solve and scum to catch!"
Alex starts to argue back. "I..."
"Not one more word, Bolls. Get ya mind on the case" and Gene slings her a case file off the dashboard.
They rode the rest of the way in silence to the crime scene. Alex flicked through the case file, reading the notes. There wasn't much to go on, hopefully there was more to go on than the last one. They needed to catch the killer before he struck again. By the time they got there, the plods had cordoned the area off and Ray and Chris were talking to a man who looked like he was in shock. Must be the man that found the victim.
"So what you got for us, Ray?" Gene asks
"Well, Guv, Mr Almond, that guy over there, he was walking his dog and found the body. He ran to the phone box to call us. Forensics says she's been dead more than a day. Looks like she was stabbed to death though she was beaten up pretty badly before that. Doesn't look like she was killed here, just dumped. Just like the last one. No ID, Guv." Ray took a last drag from his fag and flicked it to the ground.
Alex wanders off to look at the body. She pulled the sheet back that covered the girl and gasped. Poor girl. What did she do to deserve this? Alex looked of into the distance. The girl from her dream appeared to her again. "Why won't you remember me?" the girl shouted at her. She seemed much more angry than the previous dream.
"Who are you? Should I know you? Please tell me who are you?"
"You should know!" and the girl vanished.
