Gene woke before it was light, looking at the clock he saw it read 5:03. 'Shit, I better go before she wakes up!' Carefully getting out of bed, he took his clothes from the floor and tip-toed out of the bedroom naked, where he could quickly get dressed in the lounge before he woke her up. Alex awoke when she heard a bang. Smiling, she reached her hand out to the other side of the bed, hoping to come into contact with Gene. However, she was met with emptiness. Opening her eyes, she saw Gene wasn't there and realised he must have been the one who made the bang on his way out. Alex felt a shallow feeling of dread in her stomach and her heart felt incredibely heavy before she fell back to sleep, no where near as warm and comfy as she was when snuggled up with Gene.


Sometime later, Alex entered CID and looked directly at Gene's office, his eyes met hers immediately before he looked down at something on his desk. Alex headed straight for him, entering his office and closing the door and blinds for some privacy. Ray made a suggestive look at Chris then aimed it at Gene's office, Chris laughed like a child before he felt a glare coming from Shaz, warning him to stop.

Inside the office, Gene looked straight at Alex as if what happened last night didn't happen and meant nothing. "Yes, hello, what?"

"Gene!" she stood with her hands on her hips looking extremely angry. She wasn't about to let him off the hook that lightly, nor was she going to let him brush it off as nothing. Gene stared at her blanky, feeling quite uncomfortable. He was never good at the type of thing so he usually avoided it at any costs necessary. Yes, she may have wanted him last night, he was the luckiest man alive but she wouldn't want him now and even if she did, he wasn't good enough for her and she'd call it a day pretty soon. It was easier to end whatever it is before it got started and one of them ended up getting hurt. Cruel to be kind, he thought. "Why did you go?"

"Pardon?"

"Don't come the innocent with me!" Her confidence seemed to diminish when she saw how cold his eyes were, how uncaring her seemed to be. "You left me, you went after you got what you wanted!" Alex's voice sounded weak as she tried to stop the tears that were fastly forming in her eyes.

"Oh, don't go all feminist on me. It's sex, woman! You need to grow up if you can't handle adult resposibilities"

Alex stared at him, the tears trickling down her delicate face, they couldn't stop. "You heartless bastard" she managed to croak out before she turned and walked out of CID with everyone looking at her in shock. Her pace quickened as she got to the entrance of the station, breaking into a run.

BANG.

Alex was lying on the road unconscious, a car racing off at the end of the road.
