Chapter 1 – She's Not Me
It had been six months since Gene and Alex had gotten married, and the pair were still living together in the flat above Luigis. Gene had gotten rid of his old place and they were officially living together as husband and wife. Everything was good, really good. The team had been busy over the past month trying to crack a big case. Numerous bars and strip clubs were opening up in the not-so-pleasant parts of town and were burnt to the ground within a few weeks of opening up, clearing a large scale case of money laundering and insurance jobs.
The operation to arrest the criminals; brothers Craig and Johnny Stamford, had gone amazingly. Gene couldn't have been happier with the arrests if it had been done by a group of Gene Hunt clones. The sting had been quick and tidy, Gene had never been more impressed with Alex; seeing her knee a man in the groin and elbow him in the face brought the biggest grin to his face. He had practically pounced on her when they had got back to the office, unbuttoning her blouse in a matter of seconds and lifting her up onto the desk. But like the norm they were soon disturbed as the team announced that it was beer o'clock and that they were to head to Luigis for lots of alcohol, food and celebrations.
Before anyone had a chance to zip up their coats and grab their keys, the double doors to the incident room were pushed open, Sgt Viv James entering with a tall, thin, curly haired brunette woman following him. She wore a cream pencil skirt that hugged her waist perfectly, and a white blouse that showed just enough cleavage without making her look trashy, the thick black shiny belt around her waist matching her high heels, which made her legs took stunning and endless. Gene left his office with Alex, both looking thouroughly confused as to why Viv looked like he had big news right at the end of the day. Alex felt her stomach twist with jealousy as ever single man in the room stared at her for a little longer than they should have.
"That's her, that woman there!" shouted the lady beside Viv, dabbing her eyes with the tissue in her hand, whimpering oh so sadly as she pointed at Alex
"What about her?" Gene spoke gruffly, arms folded across his chest and his feet slightly apart; his fighting stance.
"That's the woman who stole my identity!" she sniffed "That woman isn't the real Alexandra Drake, I am!"
