Back at the station Alex was looking through Mellissa's diary not finding much signs of hope. Shaz came over putting a cup of coffee on her desk.
"Much luck ma'am?" Shaz asked smiling down at her
Alex kept her eyes on the diary as she flicked through it shaking her head "I'm afraid not Shaz, I don't suppose guv's found anything?"
Shaz shook her head then drew all her attention to Chris as he walked in.
Alex rolled her eyes and got up walking towards Genes office she might as well find out for herself.
Alex walked into his office and leaned over his desk grinning.
Gene looked up and her then back to work then took another look at her wondering why she has a weird grin on her face "Alright Bols, I know your excited about tonight an all"
Alex laughed a little "Nice Fall today?"
Gene looked at her "One wise ole Big Brain once told me, you cant help which way you fall"
Alex looked him in the eyes smiling at what he had said. There was a moment of silence between then before Chris thankfully interrupted.
Chris put his head through the door shaking his head at Gene and left.
Gene put his feet up on the desk and sighed "Oh great"
Alex "Found anything?"
Gene put his feet down of the desk and looked at her "Not a blinking sausage"
Alex raised her eyebrows at him "Wow you really choose your use of words well"
Gene winked "Ah that's one of my many charms now bolly knickers if you excuse me I have WORK to do" He got up and walked around his desk. "8:00 at Luigi's?"
Alex nodded and smiled "yes ok then"
Gene smiled back well very slightly "Ok" he then turns and leaves heading towards the door leading to the corridor.
Alex ran after him "You still haven't told me were you are going?"
Gene looked at Alex "Because you will try stop me, none stops Gene Hunt!" Gene was still heading down the corridor focusing on the door ahead.
Alex rolled her eyes "Well then you will be going whether I am with you or got and im afraid I going to be with you" Alex hurried after him as they got in the Quattro.
Gene took a big swig from his canteen which was full of whiskey and put it in the glove compartment.
Alex watched him and it clicked "Your going to the school aren't you!"
Gene said nothing she was too smart for her own good.
Alex "Gene! You can not! You will not! all the children are going to be there don't you think they have been through enough!"
Gene rolled his eyes "Look it's an investigation it's what we do were not carers, if you are bolly your in the wrong force"
Alex leaned back in her seat and reached for her belt getting glares from Gene and let go letting it swing behind her and Gene spun off to Waterloo road school.

They pulled up at the school getting glares from the students who were momentarily on their lunch. Alex looked at them all giving out a few smiled and turned to Gene "I don't think this is a god idea" Gene ignored her and walked up into the school flashing his card at the lady at the main office and headed up to Rachel's office Alex following behind.
"Why do you never listen to me? Am I just a tag along" Alex asked
Gene stopped and turned to her "No Bolls, your my..." paused looking at her "Friend yeah, your my friend"
Alex smiled and they carried on walking down the corridor this time Gene walking at a slower pace.
As they walked up they were stopped by a tall dark boy "What appened to Masson? As she been arrested coz she anit don't nank"
Alex looked at him and smiled putting her hand on his shoulder "she' s find she's at home"
The boy nodded and walked off "Come on Paul" He shouted after his friend who was busy staring at Alex.
Alex looked at him strangely but he didn't divert his eyes.
"Oyt mate keep your eyes to yourself yea" Gene suddenly said making him jump and go red following after Bolton looking back at Alex.
"What you doing man" Bolton said nudging him back into reality.
"So this is why you didn't want to get your pin into the school" Gene said turning down the other corridor.
"No Gene it's because you're going to end up upsetting people" Alex said.
Gene pushed the door to Rachel's office open and walked around to her desk searching through her draws when he came upon her calendar and laughed.
"ha bolls look at this the head is a player!" Gene said laughing looking at the calendar.
Alex looked down and frowned "Date with Chris Friday, Date with Adam Sunday, so what has this got to do with the investigation?"
Gene carried on looking through the draws.
"Hold on, hold on, why would a head teacher have a calendar saying date with other members of staff public in her draw, surely she isn't that stupid" Alex said pacing her office.
"So what you think bolls?" Gene asked standing up looking at her.
Alex stopped walking and looked at him "I think this is all a set up, someone is messing with us"
Gene closed the draw and picked up the calendar "No one messes with the Gene Genie"
Alex coughed a little drawing his attention to her.
"Oh yeah and you Bolls" Gene added
Gene walked out and stopped Chris walking towards her office "A word!" Gene said forcing him down into a seat just outside her office.
Chris sat down "I'm sorry but who are you?"
"DCI Hunt, you will do well to remember that" Gene said sitting opposite him "And that is DI Drake My... Friend!" Gene winked.
Alex laughed "Ignore him, sorry Chris we just need to know what you know about what happened"
Chris "well me and Rach are quite close so I knew her feelings toward Eddie, but he was as shocked as me this morning"
Gene "So you knew she ad a thing for Eddie but still decided to get into her knickers"
Alex put her hand over her face sighing, he never changes
