Hey, just a short begining really, just to see if people like the theme of the story, there can and will be more if people do like it . This hasn't been beta read so all spelling mistakes and miss punction is down to me of which im sorry aoutif you do come across some. so ill stop talking now and let you get on. :)
Alex looked down at the piece of paper in her hand. " you want us to do what ? she questioned, her face full of confusion. " listen bolly , im not asking you to chop off your leg all im asking is that you do you job," Gene looked alex up and down and took in her appearance and body language. She was rigid and her face has set in a perfect frown.
Infact all gene was actually asking Alex to do was her job. However this part of the job was never an easy one. Well it was, but only when you knew what you was doing and whether it was safe.
Gene was asking her to go undercover with him, it wasn't a normal under cover operation though, this one actually meant risking their lives for though and if this undercover scheme did not go to plan then could result in the death of a lot of people .
"Gene what you're asking me to do is not right, this is not a CID operation this should be down to the army, this is too big for us."
" no Bolly, this one is for CID , I want my head line , after all the stuff that has taken place in this office and this district in the past year, a good, juicy headline would go down lovely, and would impress the super greatly." Alex looked down at her hands she knew she had to do it. "Right so what do I have to do?" Gene looked around the rest of CID, even though this was a whole team investigation, there is something's only senior officers can take place in; getting Ray, Chris and Shaz involved was too risky.
"In my office." With that gene made his way to the office, held the door open for his DI and shut it behind her.
"Right are you going to tell me what I have to do or do I have to guess?" Gene walked over to his drinks cabinet and poured two drinks, one for Alex and the other for himself, he handed one to Alex and set himself down at his desk.
"Right this operation requires extreme strength, not only physical but mental too, you have to ensure you are in control of your mind and thoughts the whole time."
Alex looked puzzled, what the hell was gene on and where on earth was he getting all these words from ? This really wasn't the Gene she knew.
"Don't look at me like that Bolly, Gives me the horn." Gene gave her a small wink and then carried on talking. "Right anyway. As you know there is a gang out there and they are mugging, raping and murdering innocent woman. They attack when woman are vulnerable, whether it is when they are drunk, lovely, depressed or literally alone; these woman have never been attacked when other people are around."
"Yes gene, but you have still not told me what I have to do."
"Ok, so what you have to do … what you have to do is, be vulnerable and drunk and alone."
Alex finally clicked on to what Gene was asking of her. "NO WAY! There is no way I am putting myself in a situation like that, no way, Gene do you know what you're asking of me?"
Gene looked down at his glass then back up at Alex, he wasn't even sure of what he was asking of the woman, so how the hell could he tell her what he wanted her to do? He couldn't put his DI in danger, he just simply couldn't. However, this operation was unavoidable, this was the only way there would be the slightest chance of catching the criminals.
"Listen to me bolly, you're not actually going to be left alone. Yes, you will be drunk which, in turn does make you vulnerable, however there is no way in god's earth that I would ever leave you alone."
Gene could feel his cheeks go red as he was beginning to show he cared for her without realising it until he had actually said so, but he couldn't go back now, he had to be able to reassure her otherwise he knew she would never go through with it unless she knew she was safe and Gene would protect her .
Alex ran her hands through her hair, she was beginning to get fidgety and restless, and Gene could tell she wasn't sure about this. However, Alex being Alex, put her chin in the air, straightened her back and stood tall, she knew what gene was asking of her and she knew this was going to be a very hard operation to complete , putting yourself in a situation where you are not In control of yourself or the people around you is simply terrifying, but Alex is strong and very clever she knows nothing bad would come of it and she also knows Gene would be there to protect her ; always has been and always will be.
Gene looked into Alex's eyes and swallowed, he continued talking." So tomorrow night, you will get yourself tarted up, hair will be done and your legs will be reaching your neck, you will flutter your eyelashes at the right people and flash that beautiful smile of yours whilst getting completely and utterly out of your face, you will leave the club, the gang will notice you then wham, bam, thank you ma'am"
"Excuse me? I am not putting myself in a situation where I could get mugged, raped or worse, killed. No way, there is no way I'm doing that."
"Bolly did you not listen you not listen to a word of which I just said to you? I told you I wouldn't leave you alone and I won't. I will be in the club with you when you're in there and I will also be watching and ready to help when the gang see you, nothing bad will come of the operation other than a bad head the next morning."
Alex thought for a while then simply nodded, after all this was her job, a bloody dangerous one most of the time but it was her job. she couldn't really refuse to comply to police rules.
That whole night Alex was up tossing and turning, she couldn't sleep with fear. Was this really a good idea? Risking her life. This criminal were big time, they had killed a mass amount of woman in such a short time and each time the forensics showed the same things; raped and murdered whilst intoxicated.
After a wrestles nights sleep alex set out for a day at work, her nerves were on ege, even though Gene said he wouldn't leave her and she knew he would protect her, there was a small doubt in her mind that Gene wouldn't get to her on time and her life in this world would be over aswell as in the 200's.
" bolly my office." Was the simply sentence Alex got from Gene when she waked through CID doors. Following instructions Alex entered genes office. A cup of tea had been placed on Gene's desk waiting for her and a chair had been pulled up to his desk for her. She knew why gene was doing this . it was to make her feel at ease and to try and stop her worrying about tonight operation. It did settle her nerves a little but she still had doubts.
" right bolly, tonight as big time, you know what you have to do?" gene questioned her , he knew she knew what she had to do, but he couldn't help but ask. A simple nod from alex was all Gene needed, he knew she wasn't stupid and he knew she was very good at her job, even if he wouldn't admit it out loud.
Thankyou for reading :)
