Here we go, what you've all been waiting for and what should make this rather dull story better, Chapter 4 is here!

I don't own anything! including the mentioned song, Unbreakable by Bon Jovi.

~12th November 1982~

Ray walked into CID to see everyone in complete silence, Chris was hugging a teary Shaz. "What's 'appened?" He asked them.

"They've found 'im." Chris replied.

"Where?" Ray asked.

"At the bottom of a river bed." Shaz choked. Ray had to sit down quickly.

"Wh..." He tried to speak.

Suddenly the doors of CID opened and everyone looked round to see their substitute Cheif walking through.

"As you probably all know, DCI Gene Hunt has been found, dead." He said rather proffesionally. "He had only been dead for 5 hours when his body was found at 6 this morning by some fishermen on the Trent. Some tests where done at the scene and it has come back that his Alcohol level was sky high. More news is that, I will now be your permanent Cheif Inspector." He announced.

Shaz had a look of disgust on her face, she hated DCI Vancel. It was his eyes, she decided,they had a look of pure evil.

"It'll be okay." Chris whispered in her ear, but Chris didn't know if it really was going to be okay. Him and Ray had always had the Guv there. To be honest, they didn't have a clue what to do. They slowly started to loose him the day that Alex had slipped away in the hospital, he just wasn't around any more. They figured he'd ran off somewhere, and tried to get away from the questioning.

What they didn't know was that there was something else that was haunting him after the death of Alex.

~11th November 1982~

"His heart rates gone right up, it looks like he might be finally waking up." A female voice said in Gene's head as he walked around in the dark, stumbling over tree trunks. It felt like he'd been walking around trying to get out of the woods forever, he was so dizzy he couldn't even remember what he was doing there.

He had started to get images of a little girl, sitting at a piano and smiling at him, voices in his head and memories of his life with Nicole. They had all started coming to him since Alex had died from getting shot. By him. He couldn't stand life in the 80's any more after that, he was remembering that he had abandond his daughter, and he needed to get back to her, what ever it took.

There was something else he needed to get back too. Alex. She may have died in 1982, but she had told him she was from 2008, well he was from 2005, which meant he had left Nicole for 3 years.

He finally got to a muddy river bank, and he slumped down on a rock, with his hands in his head. His head was spinning and the voices wouldn't stop, he looked up across the river to see a bright light.

"Come on Daddy, You've rested for too long, you can wake up now." A young girls voice said to him from the direction of the light.

"Nicole." He recognised the voice and quickly stood up. His head really hurt, to the point where he thought the bright light was part of his drunkeness. He just thought he had been going crazy, because of Alex. But it all just dawned on him, This was his chance to get back to Nicole, back to reality. Without a second thought he jumped into the river and swam towards the white light.

"Come on Daddy. "Im unbreakable, unstoppable, come on bring it to me, coz im always gonna be unbreakable." Nicole sang to Gene who was layed in a hospital bed. If anything was going to wake him up it was that song, it was his motto, she had tears rolling down her eyes but she started to smile when his fluttered his eyes open.

Everything was blury. He could just make out the outline of Nicole looking over him. "Dad!" She threw her arms around him.
Gene smiled and put an arm around her, "Hey Star. 'old on." He looked at her. "You are Nicole aren't you?" He teased. Nicole laughed and nodded her head.

He wasn't feeling any pain what so ever, infact he felt like he would be able to get up and run a marathon.

"So how long 'ave I been in the land of the living?" He asked.

"Three years." Nicole replied.

"Bloody 'ell." He looked at Nicole who was now sitting at the end of his bed. "I'm so sorry Star." He said to her. He just couldn't believe he forgot his own daughter.

"It's okay Daddy." She said to him, and gave him another hug.

They stayed there for about 5 minutes until Nicole finally said, "Dad?"

"Yeh Star?" He replied.

"Where did you get that accent from?" She asked him.

Gene smiled, "Yeh don't wanna know." He said.

"Your what?!" Alex said to her DCI.

"Look, you're an excelent Inspector Alex, but you aren't what we're looking for here any more." He said to her.

"So you're just getting rid of me? I'm perfectly fine!" She protested.

"No, we are not getting rid of you. Come on Alex, you know as well as me that since the. Incident. You have changed a great deal..."

"Oh God." She butted in.

"...Now, I've been talking to some people who think it would be a good move to transfer you up to Nottingham." The DCI said.

Alex stood, mouth wide open in shock.

"Nottingham?! What am I going to do there? What about Molly's school?" She shouted loudly. She just couldn't believe this, her first day back on the job and she wasn't welcome any more.

"There is an excelent private High School up there, we will pay for her fee's during her whole school years." He said, hoping that in some way she would negotiate with him.

Alex grabbed the leaflet he was handing her of a school and quickly scanned through it. She was impressed, it seemed good. She turned it over to the back and noticed the prices. So, it was good, and cheap. It would get her out of London, which she had wanted to do ever since the shooting, get Molly safe. And maybe this was it, she thought. The opportunity to start fresh, a whole new place, a whole new team.

"The job?" She asked. The DCI smiled, he knew he had gave her an offer she wouldn't refuse.

"Working with a team in Nottingham CID. You'll enjoy it, their DCI has just came back from an extremely long sickness himself and their Super thinks it would be a good idea to have someone with a degree in Psychology."

Alex nodded. Sounded like what she wanted herself. The type of job she was doing in the 80's, which she missed. "And where will I stay?"

"A nice small house, in a town just outside Nottingham. We have everything planned for you, all you have to do is say yes and pack your stuff up."

Alex took a deep breath in, how could she let this oppurtunity go? She couldn't, could she. "When?"

The DCI smiled, "Any time." He replied.

Alex smiled, shook his hand and said. "Pleasure working with you Sir, have a good life." And she walked straight out of the room.

Hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, Galex to come!
