Ashes to Ashes
You Belong With Me
By Hannah Curbishley
Chapter 1
DC Chris Skelton was cautious. Alex had excused him when they first met, of being "the Nervous One." He wasn't nervous. He was cautious, as he had corrected her on her very first day in 1981.
Bullion Job had gone off. They'd stopped it, but it went wrong, very wrong.
Shaz, the love of Chris's life was at gunpoint. Jeanette wasn't happy. Gene had dumped her for Alex. She pointed her gun at Shaz. Chris didn't understand why. What had Shaz done that was so wrong? But it wasn't just Shaz. Jeanette was confused. She was pointing the loaded gun at all five of them: Alex, Gene, Ray, Chris and Shaz.
"Put it down, Jeanette, or I will shoot," Gene said. He had his gun up pointing at Jeanette.
"SHUT IT, HUNT!" Jeanette was in no mood to be threatened by Gene 'Bloody' Hunt.
Jeanette cocked the gun. Chris's heart was beating fast. The gun was pointed at Shaz, "NOT SHAZ! PLEASE GOD, NO!" Chris's heart and head were screaming. The gun went off. Chris was now in front of Shaz. Chris's stomach hurt like hell. He collapsed onto the floor in front of the team. Shaz was at his side sobbing over him. Chris didn't understand why Shaz was crying. Why was his stomach hurting? Then it hit him, as what had just happened flashed before his eyes. The bullet from Jeanette's gun had gone through his stomach. He'd been shot trying to save Shaz.
"Chris Baby, stay with me," Shaz said through her tears. Chris could see Shaz's, Gene's, Ray's and Alex's faces but the stunning white light was making their faces fade away.
"Shaz, I-I love you," Chris said as a tear feel down his check. He felt the blood and warmth slipping from his body. He wanted to close his eyes. He wanted to go to sleep. His eyes lids started to slowly shut.
"Chris, stay awake. Please don't go to sleep," Shaz cried.
"Come on, mate. Stay with us," Ray said, trying to fight back his tears.
"Don't you dare give up, Christopher. I mean it," Gene said.
"Come on Chris," Alex said with a small smile.
"I love you guys," Chris said as the white light took over. The team was gone. Chris closed his eyes to escape the light.
