Chapter 1

He stood in front of her to protect her from anymore pain. "Hello Jimbo" he punched in the face, which sent Keats back towards the floor making a strange gasping noise. "Goodbye Jimbo" with those words he turned to look her in the eyes.

"My baby..." she could barely manage the words as she held Molly's scarf up to him.

"I no... I no..." He looked at her, and in that instant she knew she could trust him completely, everything that had happened that day would be forgotten because she trusted him here and now "We had a world Alex... she'll be fine" he looked at her so gently but he had sorrow in his eyes, she saw and still the tears streamed down her face.

"Alright" So much had happened already she had no reason not to trust him now. But the realisation dawned on her. "No... but listen... listen to me I could... I could stay here with... with you... I can't... don't make me... I can't go in there..." She cried more as fear overwhelmed her, he gave a gentle smile

"Yes you can... They've got a Saloon bar" She couldn't help but give a small smile "Besides I can't have you around, you'll have me thinking i'm not quite right all the time... can't have that can we?" He smiled once more, this was a smile she loved, this was the smile she had been missing, this was the smile she knew would not see again.

"See ya around Bolly Kecks"

She looked into his eyes, he looked into hers and they shared a gentle but perfect kiss, their first. This marked the end. As they parted he smiled, she smiled, they looked into each others eyes

"Goodbye Guv"

"Go" came the words she didn't want to hear and he didn't want to say. Slowly and cautiously she walked into The Railway Arms. She was listening for the slightest sound from him, but nothing came. Slowly she opened the door, she had never been so scared, still no sound and no words, so she continued into Heaven.

As she walked through the door she saw a pub, no bright lights, no pearly gates, just an ordinary pub. Only difference four familiar faces and one she could easily guess.

"Ma'am come and sit with us! Ray got you and the Guv a drink" came Shaz's little voice

"Ma'am, meet..."

"Sam and Annie... Yes Chris I know, Thank you" She smiled at them all, but something was missing, She looked at the door but it didn't even move slightly.

Chris, Ray, Shaz, Sam and Annie were all getting to know each other again, talking about the good old days and drinking... a lot. Alex just sat and stared.

The last few moments had been repeating themselves over and over in front of her as if taunting her. Alex had no reason to be happy anymore, she had crossed over and therefore had no chance of seeing her beloved daughter Molly again, and due to her crossing over she now could no longer see Gene. She had only realised her true feelings for him in the last few moments as the scene replayed itself over and over and over again, suddenly she didn't feel ready to cross over, but once you had she doubted you could change your mind. All Alex Drake wanted was to be with Gene Hunt even if nothing happened between them, just being around him would make her quite happy.

On the other side of the door, Gene had gone. He was back in his office having an argument with a new guy about the whereabouts of his office and iphone. Gene had run out of patience "bloody bugger off!" he yelled at the new guy whose name did not wish to learn.

"I'll have you know i'm DCI around here so I will tell you what to do" this man clearly needed to learn his place, and fast. Gene pushed him up against the wall

"No one walks into my kingdom acting King of the jungle! I am DCI around here! You answer to me! and if you would like all parts of you to remain intact i suggest you bloody well piss of NOW!" with that the new guy scurried out of Gene's office just like a mouse.

Gene had had enough of this world, he had lost Sam and Annie, now he had lost Ray, Chris and Shaz, but most of all he had lost Alex. He knew he wasn't supposed to get attached to them when they came to him, because he knew they had to leave, but with certain ones he couldn't help it. He had not only grown close to Alex he believed he loved her and from the moment his new DI left his office all he thought about was his last few moments with her. How she hadn't fought very hard to stay, but he hadn't fought very to keep her. He regretted letting her go but he knew it was right.

He didn't want to stay in his world anymore, not without his friends and Alex, but he didn't know how to cross over, everyone else seemed to just work it out, But he couldn't. Maybe because he had forgotten for so long, or maybe he was never meant to leave. He didn't want to believe the latter. The former was right because Gene had decided. Now all he had to do was work out how to get through the door to them. He decided to go back to the door to see if he could just walk through it.

Everyone had noticed that Alex wasn't really paying attention to anything anyone said to her, probably because when they spoke to her there was no reply. She just stared at the door, waiting.

"What should we do?" Asked Shaz very concerned, they knew no that Alex is wasn't listening or couldn't here so it didn't matter what they said.

"I don't really know, is she normally like this?" asked Sam also concerned

"No, I haven't ever seen her like this" the conversation started, no one knew what was wrong with her or understood why she was suddenly acting like this, and all Alex did was stare at the door waiting for one she knew would never come.

Gene was standing outside The Railway Arms once more. Gene was terrified, he had never been this scared, not in this world anyway. He slowly walked to the door and put his hand on the handle. He took a deep breath and opened the door.
