Ashes to Ashes Fanfiction
Infiltration (tentative)
Chapter 1: Night
Luigi's
Once again, the team is back on Luigi's, getting themselves drunk after yet another day of hard work.
Chris and Ray were still cracking those Italian jokes at the expense of poor Luigi. There sat DCI Gene Hunt, gulping down yet another glass of brandy as DI Alex Drake sipped a cup of cocktail.
"You know, Bolly! That Collins is one hell of a twat for a Detective Superintendent!" One could hear the great antagonism Gene has for his new superior.
"Well it wasn't exactly his fault…" DI Drake tried to defend the new Super, but it just proved to be a tough order.
"Oh it definitely was his! You know we good coppers arrest those pricks, we don't need some bookish-looking creep to slam us down like a headmaster!" Ray's call was answered with a few ayes from the CID.
One could realize how unpopular Supt Harry Collins was, when you are in Fenchurch East CID.
Harry Collins was generally a phantom of the CID. He rarely talked to his DCI, gave parcels of paperwork for the team to do (Much to Gene's dismay.) Harry Collins was considerably an average Supt. What made Gene's blood boil was that Supt Collins would rather talk to the other DCIs on the other neighbouring divisions then come to his office for a drink.
Relations came to a point of worsening, when Gene Hunt caught Gerry Taggart, a son of an MP who apparently did the most stupid thing ever by selling drugs right in front of Fenchurch East CID.
Most of us would know what happened to , a harsh grilling from Gene Hunt, peppered with some psychological "bollocks" from Alex sure made a less happy man than he was.
's father obviously sided with the son, and Taggart Sr filed a complaint to Supt Collins. Well usually such complaints by parents would never do much harm. But now for the new Super Collins. Supt Collins made it a point to slam Gene and his CID for their "disgusting and rash" behaviour.
Alex would have agreed, but that Taggart was such a moron, he didn't deserve much defence from Supt Collins anyway.
"Bolly, I'd rather see you as Super Drake than get that bastard out there pointing his dirty white fingers at me!" Gene Hunt was obviously pissed, he didn't think he deserved a lashing by the Super just because he arrested a drug-eating idiot whose son happens to be a MP!
"Guv, you have to bear with it, he's your superior after all."
"I've seen Supers like Ghosts, but I haven't seen one being a Poltergeist!" Gene gulped yet another cup of tonic and gin while Alex aimlessly looks at the rest of the gang, who were continuing to make fun of poor old Luigi. One wonders when will Luigi ever reach breaking point?
Fenchurch East CID
Superintendent Harry Collins was furiously writing yet another report on his new DCI Gene Hunt.
Harry Collins was definitely frustrated at this, the commissioner of police paying him a good "Courtesy Call" meant that he had to write yet another of those boring reports on Gene Hunt.
Judging from his predecessors' reports, it seems the commissioner never even seemed to pay much interest on Hunt. But it was just the commissioner's way of making the Super do more work than he should.
"Sir, you want a cup of tea?" There goes one of those uniform officers on night shift duty
"Yes, a lot of sugar please, this report on Gene Hunt needs a lot more sweeteners to do!" Harry Collins had a tone which was never encouraging, he always seemed more fit for a role as a headmaster than being a superintendent.
"Yes, Sir, a lot a lot of sugars…." The uniform officer takes out a pocket of white crystals and pours it into the cup of hot piping tea…
The uniform officer sneakily winks at the door, as he prepares to enter the Super's office once again...
