About: Ashes To Ashes
Gene lay in the single bed with his arms behind her head, his mouth open slightly as he breathed deeply in his sleep.
Images flashed in his mind, no...they weren't just images, they were memories.
"Say bye, bye copper!"
Gene could do nothing but watch as the armed man holding Alex pushed her to the ground; he raised the gun and fired. Alex had made eye contact with his seconds before the bullet penetrated her.
"Put the gun down you scumbag!" Ray yelled as he saw Gene shaking and tears streaming down his face.
"One down fellas! Who's next?" the armed man screamed.
Gene began to walk over to the armed man, his arms stuck out by his sides.
"Well come on then...if you think that you're a big, hard man...then prove it"
"Guv what are you doing?" Chris asked nervously.
Gene tried to grab the gun from him, struggling and shuffling the trigger was pulled.
Clutching his stomach Gene fell backwards and landed on the ground with a thud, a crimson liquid began to seep through his white shirt, he turned his head to the side and managed to catch a glimpse of Alex's face just before he fell unconscious...
Gene sat up abruptly, beads of sweat lining his brow and rolling down the side of his face. He ran his hands through his damp hair and lay back down, trying to get to sleep. It was a good half hour before Gene got back to sleep...
So now we know what happened to Gene in order for him to end up with Alex in 2008 :) Enjoy, there's more on the way :D
