Thursday – 9:42 am
After the snoring started, Ray gazed at the squad room ceiling and sighed for the 100th time that morning. Lighting a cigarette, he stood and walked out of the room in need of a walk to cure his boredom. As he passed Chris' desk he frowned and looked back at the glass office at the end of the room to see if the Guv had noticed that the young DC had fallen asleep again on his desk. Chuckling to himself lightly, he straightened up and began to walk away from Chris when he changed his mind and threw an empty water bottle from Drake's desk at the highlighted head. Chris shot up from his slouched position and scrubbed his hands over his face
"I wasn't asleep Guv I swear" He muttered
"Get up yer twonk!" Ray laughed "Come on! Let's get Viv's football and 'ave a game"
"Wha'? Why?" Chris asked as Shaz walked over to the both of them
"I can't stand sittin' in 'ere anymore, there's nothing t'do!"
"Fancy comin' to cheer us on Shazza?" Chris asked as he turned to his girlfriend who nodded in response, relieved that she now has something else to do rather than sit and wait to be called for tea round
"Please, I finished all that paperwork day before yesterday, I have nothing to do!" She laughed
"Right! Bammo? Terry? You two comin'?" Chris called to the other men who were just walking into the room
"Where too?" Bammo asked
"Game of footie outside, we're goin' before the he finds out" Ray chuckled at the thought of the five of them sneaking out so their boss won't know.
"Sure I'm up for a game, it's been dead quiet around here" Terry said as they all walked out of the double doors just as DI Alex Drake walked around the corner and the men groaned
"Well good morning to you all too" She huffed sarcastically "Where are you all off too?"
"Game of foot-ow" He was cut off by Ray elbowing him in the ribs
"Football?" She looked at the sheepish faces "Take it he doesn't know?"
"No Ma'am" Shaz replied which caused Alex to laugh
"Go on, quickly" She whispered back and the five of them grinned "Take a radio or two just in case"
Chris and Ray both turned to her and gave a thumbs up as they ran backwards to show that they had heard her. And then they were all gone and Alex stood in the quiet corridor on her own. Smiling to herself she turned pushed the double doors open, dropped her jacket on her desk and made a beeline towards the small kitchenette. Making her cup of tea, she realised that Gene had the blinds down in his office and the door was open. Frowning she pulled out another mug from the cupboard and proceeded to make the man in question a cup of tea.
"Why is he locked in his office? I do hope he isn't in a foul mood this morning" she thought to herself as she cared both mugs and a packet of Garibaldis out of the kitchen and knocked on the glass door
"What?" Came a small growl. Slowly pushing the door open, Alex popped her head through the gap to test the waters. He was sitting at his desk, hunched over some paperwork. The whole room was dark considering the time of day.
"Tea?" she smiled slightly at him which was returned with silence. Signing again, she pushed herself the rest of the way into the office and placed his mug on the desk with the packet of Garibaldis "Are you okay, Gene?"
"I'm fine DI Drake" He sniffed as he carried on scribbling away, not even looking up from the table but freezing after a moment and sighing "Sorry Bolls, Didn' mean t' bite yer head off"
"It's no worry, you working on an old case?" she asked as she leaned on the desk in her usual spot
"Jus' finishin' some paperwork" He mumbled. Frowning Alex placed her mug on the metal filing cabinet in front of her and stood up. He was refusing to make eye contact with her or even look up for that matter.
"He's doing paperwork? I know something is definitely wrong then" she thought to herself and moved closer to him
"Gene look at me" The man tensed and stopped writing again but didn't look up from the spot he was staring at on the desk
"Bolly, I don' 'ave time for this" He grumbled and tried to face away from her completely. Alex again moved closer so she was crouching on the floor next to his chair and looked up at him but he shot off his seat and stood the other side of the room facing the wall "Bolls, I'm serious"
"Gene look at me" She asked as she rose to her feet and placed her arms on her hips
"No" he mumbled as he fiddled with some trinkets on the surface in front of him
"Gene"
"Piss off, I don' need yer Psychology bollocks today" He snapped
"For Christ's sake Hunt just look at me!" she shouted which only made him dig his heels in more. Silence took hold of the office as Alex let her arms dropped and rubber her forehead. Slowly she walked over to the man and stood next to him. "Please Gene?"
Gene sighed and slowly turned to Alex "Happy now, DI Drake?"
