Gene Hunt had decided something. He had decided that the people upstairs had it in for him, this last time she had died had been way too many. The she in that sentence being his D.I Alex Drake, or Bolly as he liked to call her. He decided this as she was laid on her bed with him sat on the floor. He was sat there after coming in from the living room, in which he had been laid on the sofa. He came in because he had woke up after his mind had replayed all the times she had died, he had come in just feel comforted by watching the movement of her chest.
He could not lie to himself the dream had scared him shitless. It had shown him all the moment that he had feared for her life.
The time in Edgehapton vault, that one out of the whole dream was the most pleasant, at least he had been with her as she slipped away from him, in reality the team had let them out before she died, but his dream they had come too late, they had come in to find him cradling her body crying willing her to come back, tell her the shell of her that he loved her. Yes he had confessed it to himself after that day. The time in Chas Cale's freezer, when she had died for a time. He had been terrified that day; he had to stop himself from diving on her and kissing her for all she was worth that day. For just being alive, he would never admit to her how scared he had been when he had seen her lain in that freezer, bound, pale, unmoving and not breathing. The time that that git Gil Hollis had shot had him and Alex, in the dream he had not pushed her quick enough and the bullet hit her.
The time Doctor Death had abducted her. He had been scared then too. The thing that had always had his heart break about that was the fact that she had heard him coming and the last word before she had stopped breathing was "Guv". The thing that terrified him the most about that one was that she had nearly died obviously, but also that screaming and pleading though his radio. To hear his Bolly who would not back down for anyone beginning for him to find her was heartbreaking to him. But in the dream he had not been able to wake her up.
Then of course the time her near death had been his fault, that fateful shot that had been meant for the bitch Jeanette and had hit Alex instead, he had never told her that the doctor's had lost her for a time, for about two minutes her heart had stopped beating , his reason for living had stopped. He was terrified for her life more than himself, he went on the run but it was not for him. It was so he could save her from the questioning and the looks of pity, he had come back to get her out of the hospital.
This time had been just as terrifying for both him and Alex.
Next chapter has a flashback to what happened to make Alex nearly die this time. Thanks for reading, please review.
