SHATTERED MIRROR PART 2

"Ok so just to be clear, Artemus isn't god, Gene Hunt isn't your father, brother, cousin or dog sent to guide you on a righteous path…., nor will you wake in the future on a space ship." The voice continued, it's hand placed firmly on her shoulder.

Her mind raced where was she what was going on? She couldn't think straight, all she cool see was gene's face after she had been shot, the guilt the fear the despair.

"So where am I? Where is this place?" she asked quietly, the voice sighed.

"Alex your everywhere and nowhere…., your the Omega."

"Who's the Alpha?" she was starting to focus the man was stood next to her she was sat on a floor a stone cold black marble floor, the man moved infront of her releasing his grip on her shoulder, he was wearing a monks robe and now stood with him arms behind him.

"I think you know the answer to that Alex." The voice took on a familiar tone, she hadn't heard since…….the car journey with Molly the day that Layton had shot her and she'd woken up in the eighties.

"Tyler…" she breathed heavily, she looked up Sam Tyler pulled down the cowl of the robe his hair was longer and grey, his skin mottled and aged, he smiled and knelt down and took her face in his hand.

"Alex have you ever had a dream or a nightmare so vivid you would swear it really happened?" he let go of her face and sank to his haunches,

"Had the feeling that you were falling and woke suddenly?" he watched her face she was still in shock, he could understand the truth had almost destroyed him.

"Sam but how your……"

"Dead? Yeah twice now, not looking bad for a dead man."

She looked at him his movements were controlled precise like he was frightened he might break.

"Are you ok Sam?"

"No I'm not and neither are you, Alex the story is ending and the epilogue is sacrifice….."

"WHAT?"

"Ok so here goes, listen carefully DCI Drake, we all have dreams that are so real that we get the feeling of déjà vu, something happens and we know what to do without thinking, well you aren't dreaming, when you sleep you are in another reality." He paused she looked at him.

"Still with me? Good, so anyway the visits we make in are dreams are fleeting momentary, lasting no more than an hour , how ever coma patients are different, they will spend the length of there coma in that reality, but time will flow differently days are months weeks are years…" she nodded.

"So what your saying is that we are in an alternative reality?"

"Yes, No, well this is where it gets complicated, we both suffered massive head trauma , me the accident you getting shot, now I don't understand this bit completely but we some how got pushed back in our own life and took over the life of someone who should have exsisted, but when I was mur, killed you were brought to replace me.."

"I am the alpha and the omega……." She looked at him ,

"He is the key…" she said "Gene bloody Hunt!"

"Yes for some reason we have to be there to protect him so he can protect us, he is pivotal to something , I just don't know what…….." he paused again "It's not widley known the report was kept off the radar but Annie travelled to the future and I think that one of your officers did too.."

"Shazza? She never mentioned…" she stopped this was to much to take in far to much

"Who did we replace?" Alex asked rubbing her head.

"I don't know that Alex I'm sorry, you have to go back as difficult as it maybe…."

"I was home wasn't I?" her heart slowed she had been home, no but what had , how could Gene have …..

"Sam the tv screens? Gene's face?"

"I have no idea how comes he was able to bleed through to reality, your case seems to be different to mine."

"What do I do when I get back Sam?" Alex looked up Sam had vanished and in his Place Stood was Martin Summers

"Ah Alex always a pleasure." he chuckled and glanced at where Sam had been,

"If he is the Alpha and your the Omega then I must be the destroyer of worlds, more over Hunts world it ends now," he paused

"with you."
