Gene Hunt sat in his office with only a whisky for company, until Alex Drake walked through the double doors into CID. She had been out all day working on a case to do with Evan White. He stared at her for a few minutes, just basking in her beauty, when Shaz came in with a cup of tea. "You alright, Guv?"
"Yeah. You put five sugars in tha' Shaz"? Shaz nodded and turned to leave when he called her back in. "Shaz, can you to ask DI Drake if she's goin' to tonight's party?"
"'Course Guv. I wont say no." A smile lingered on her lips as she left his office. She knew that the guv and Alex would get together, eventually.

Later that day Shaz, had been to see Alex who said she was going to the party and, was leaving to go home to change. When she saw a young girl sitting on the police steps. She went up to her and asked her what was wrong. The girl just looked at Shaz with red eyes as if she'd been crying. "Are you alright there?" This time the girl answered "No I'm not. I'm looking for someone who can help. Do you work in there? What's your name? Who do you work for? Tell me!" This girl whispered the last sentence and shifted her jacket to reveal a small pen knife. Suddenly Shaz tensed up, remembering the night she was stabbed. Gill Hollis went down thankfully, but it still gave the young WPC nightmares. She plucked up all of her courage and said "I work here, for DCI Hunt and DI Drake. If you need help come in, but the knife stays out here. OK?!" The girl nodded surprised at how forceful the police could be. As Shaz led the unknown girl through to CID a fight between Chris and a thug broke out. "CHRIS! Watch your back babe!" She shouted as the thug through a punch which hit Chris in the shoulder. The thing Shaz and nobody else saw was the look of fury in teenage girls' eyes. She ran at the thug, jumping over Chris as she did so, and kicked him in the groin. This caused the skinhead to whither in pain on the floor. She helped Shaz get Chris of the floor and lent on a nearby wall. "How…Why did you do that? For a copper."
"He needed my help and I gave it to him, Besides it wouldn't have been right, he is my uncle." At this comment the whole corridor went deadly quiet, as they looked to Chris.

Everyone was sitting in the main CID office, in silence. They were all looking from Chris to The Child. "What's the big deal with this?" The girl asked. "What's your name?" Alex Drake asked, getting slightly annoyed.
"Why do you need to know? Okay…It's April. April Hunt." Again there was silence, just as the Guv walked into the office with a scrawny teenager. "What?! Get back to work you girly, nancy, french, benders." He shouted.
"Somethin' the matter mister Hunt?!" April had a surge of anger, that even she didn't know how to control. So she just let rip.

Alex, Ray, Chris, and Shaz had stayed for ten minutes, but they all wished that they hadn't. None of them could here themselves think, it was that noisy. In the end they all went home to change into something decent for the ever looming party.

But inside Gene's office the shouting match continued. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE US?! I WAS ONLY TEN AND YOU GO AN' WALK OUT ON US ALL!" April was more than a match for her dad. "ME WALK OUT? YOUR MOTHER WAS THE ONE WHO LEFT. SAID I WAS MARRIED TO THE JOB. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ALL OF US IT WA' ONLY YOU AND YOUR MAM!" April just stared at him in disbelief.
"You don't know, do you? Mam wer' pregnant when we left. She didn't want her kids living with a monster. Can't say I blame her." Her eyes shifted from her dad to his notice board. "You kept the newspapers cut-outs then? You weren't the only one who were miserable after he died. He was me godfather after all. And Annie still hasn't come to terms with his death. She's raised little Sam almost on her own, and if it weren't for Phillis she'd probably killed herself years ago." There were tears forming in the young girls eyes, but when she looked up she saw that she wasn't the only one crying. So was her dad. "Aren't you late for a party, dad? It is Christmas after all."
"Yeah I best go. But what happened to the kid? My kid."
"She's living with Annie up North, I couldn't bring her along. She'd probably get kidnapped or something. Scum is Scum everywhere."
"And wheres your mam, if she's not lookin' after the little one?"
"I'm sorry dad, I know i should have told you earlier but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Mam's dead!"

At Luigi's Alex was getting ready to get absolutely pissed and then laid by a very handsome copper. And she knew who she wanted it to be. She was just about to put her make-up on, when she heard a knock at her door. She walked over to and cautiously open it, knowing that she always attracted the weirdos. Only to find the man she dreamed about, standing there with April. She looked from one to the other, seeing that they both had very red eyes, and opened the door a little wider so they could get in. "Gene what's going on? Are you alright?"
"Bolls I really need a favor here. We have a knew case, you don't need to cancell your plans for tonight, but i need you to look after April for a few days. Can you do that for me Bolls? C'mon Please? Alex?" She looked at him for a few seconds and finally said that she would.
"But why am i looking after her? Why can't you?"
"I need you to look after herbecause she's our wittness to the murder. The murder of Ex-Mrs Hunt." All Alex could do was stare at him as her mouth had that perfectly formed 'O'.
