Ashes to Ashes- Love At Last?
Chapter 1-
Gene was yet again complaining about the local gypsies "Them bloody gypsies, when are they going to get out of my city?" Alex sighed. She wished that he would grow up. She was about to walk out the office when suddenly Gene started talking again "Bolls? Where you going? Are you going to see that bloke Boris again?" he sneered trying but failing to not seem jealous. Alex tried to ignore the jealousy but couldn't resist "Ohh, so your jealous of my social life?" she sniggered. Gene went bright red and was so taken aback that it took him a few moments to respond "Don't flatter yourself love" he continued. Alex said one last thing before leaving the room "Actually no, unlike you I am staying here tonight so we can clear up this case" Alex walked out Gene's office with a grin on her face it was so easy to torment him she thought to herself.
She walked into a wide room with about ten desks scattered around like dots. Every desk was piled high with paperwork, files and stationery. Which reminded Alex she needed to sort some paperwork out for the latest murder case. She walked over to her desk and sat down, she was about to start on the paperwork but Ray walked up to Alex and winked at her. She rolled her eyes and said "What do you want Ray?" she sighed. "So…" he was pondering whether he should say what most of the other workers in this department were thinking. "Just spit it out Ray" she said quickly obviously agitated. "What…were you doing in there with Guv?" the whole room was chuckling at his cruel joke. Alex was used to his immaturity and replied "Oh, so are you jealous Ray, is the Guv your type?" the whole room was in fits of laughter when suddenly the deep voice of the Guv was heard through out the room "What are you stupid schoolgirls giggling about in here?" he said sarcastically. Ray just looked at him with horror and scurried out of the room. The whole room was in another wave of laughter and the Guv was getting annoyed. "Get to work and save your laughing about for later" he shouted. Immediately papers were shuffled and one last comment was said which had people coughing to stop themselves laughing "Umm, Guv?…I think Ray… likes you!" the whole room went silent. With one last glance at Alex the Guv stormed back into his office.
About an hour and a half later the Guv called Alex into his office. Alex was pissed because just before going into the office she heard Chris say "Ding, Dong round two" she then smiled when she heard Shaz say "Oh, shut up Chris it isn't like that" she would have to thank Shaz later.
She walked up to the Guv's desk and said "You wanted me?" the Guv looked up from the paperwork he was looking at and handed it to Alex. She reached out to take the paper accidentally brushing her fingers against Gene's, a spark of energy ran up both of their arms and into their bodies. Alex managed to recover first and glanced at the paperwork she held. It was a bunch of numbers on a sheet, how was this important? Gene saw her confused look and said "It's the list of how much money our main suspect has put in their bank account in the last month" Alex suddenly realised that they may have found the murderer she replied "Oh, and you think that the money he has been putting in was the money he had stolen of his victims after he had murdered them?" Gene nodded his head and replied quickly with "Precisely Bolls, I think we may have found our murderer" Alex smiled at the thought. Gene continued and said "Me and you are a good team, Bolls!" he continued in going a light shade of pink but managed to recover in seconds. Alex grinned to herself "Yep, we sure are Guv" she was for the second time that day about to walk out the room when yet again the Guv called her back "Bolls?" "Yes Guv?" she said looking impatient. "Just wondered now that we may have found the suspect, would you consider coming with me for a celebration drink tonight?" Alex was shocked at what the Guv had just said so her words came out in a slur "Umm…yeah… s…sure" she said before whirling around and walking into the wide office.
All eyes were on her "Why do you look so shocked Alex?" Shaz said with concern. "Hmm, maybe she got what she wanted from the Guv" Chris said laughing. Shaz gave him a angry look and he stopped. "Umm thanks Shaz… but no, me and the Guv think we may have proof that one of our suspects is confirmed to be the murderer" she said with a light smile on her face. The whole office were in shouts of joy. Slowly everyone in the office left, each one saying their goodbyes to Alex and wondering why her and the Guv were alone…
