A/N Hello again I'm back with another chapter because I got bored in History again. So thanks to Alice (who's sitting next to me) and VV(who's been talking to me in English) and of course my Viola teacher who is always an inspiration (yep she knows she's crazy). They've helped me figure out how this mad story ends and now all I need to do is write it.

"I what?" Gene shouted. Alex blushed realising what she'd said. "I had nothing against him. Unlike you, you were the one who didn't trust him who called him a liar and a traitor. If either of us killed him it was you." Now it was Gene's turned to flush with colour. No wonder she hadn't told him about her daughter look how quickly he could turn on her.

"How dare you!" She was on her feet anger clear on her face. All the hurt masked by her sudden rage. "Martin was the only I could trust. He understood me. He cared. When I was dying he came to me he sat there all night. Martin was the only one I had. I wouldn't have killed him. No matter what that sick man did, I wouldn't have killed him. He tried to kill me once before I knew who he was. He knew everything about me. He accepted me for what I am. He didn't think I was lying at every turn. He trusted me. I never betrayed him. And he never betrayed me. We could understand each other. Then you killed him!"

"For the last bloody time Bolly I didn't kill him!"

" I had no-one when I returned. I didn't have anyone who knew or who believed." She continued ignoring his comment. Jumping to her feet her hands fisted by her side as she screamed out her feelings. Honestly I miss him. I mean he was creepy stalker but I miss him. I wish he was still there sitting in flat at one in the morning. I wish he was still putting pictures of me on that blasted wall of his. I want him sitting there when I wake up my tapes in his hand. I want him calling at any hour of the day just to show me that he was still there. Did you know I can't walk past roses without thinking of him?" Tears were springing to her eyes. She had barely accepted her feelings about him. How dare Gene do this to her again. She had been honest with him. And this was how he repaid her.

"Who the hell are you talking about!" Gene's confusion was evident. He was on his feet as well nearly stepping around the table as Alex's eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"That smug cocky Irish bastard!" Alex face was flushed and she was breathing heavily. "Martin bloody Summers"

"He didn't even know you!"

"He knew everything about me! Suppose that's what happens when he stalks you for months!"

"Stalking?" Jim Keats asked calmly leaning in the doorway. "You never mentioned this Alex" His here and far away voice was in place.

"Martin was a creep but I didn't kill him" She said her voice calming slightly

"No you seem to believe that Gene did. Like he did Sam. I can help you Alex I can help this blow over and we can get the real culprit. You know I'm right. You know that Gene killed Sam and Martin. Think what good you could do their memories if you arrest the real culprit." Keats complete reversal took them by surprise.

"Sam isn't –" Gene declared indigently. Had Alex really believed that he could have killed Sam?

"You're right!" Alex cried interrupting Gene. "I mean it's clear Gene you killed Sam. We all know it. "

"What!" Gene Shouted staring at her in complete shock. Then he caught her gaze. There was a slight smirk on her face the one that meant she was planning something. In her eyes was the gleam that meant he needed to go with her on this. He had to trust her. Trust the woman he'd just accused of murder. Well he did know that while Alex had shown odd habits in the past she wasn't a killer. She'd stuck by him. Returned by his side even though he'd chucked her out and well you know shot her. She'd saved his best friends life. Although he knew she had her own reasons. Alex was a mother you could see how naturally she looked after Molly. And he thought back in the past to a case were a little boy had needed cheering up on his birthday. He owed her this much. She had better know what she was doing.

"It's obvious Gene!" She shouted. "Sam was one of my only friends and you killed him!" She looked angry and for a second Gene wanted to remind her that Sam was in her apartment with her young daughter. "You hated Sam you always did! Because he could see you for what you are! A Killer the very thing we are trying to stop."

"Bolly!" Gene tried to put as much warning into the word as he could she had better be a bloody good actress. She couldn't believe that could she?

"Alex you need to go back to cell 4 now" Keats said facial expression not having changed at all during Alex's loud outburst. "Sergeant! Escort her out of here" Viv walked into the room choose not to say anything but roll his eyes subtly and lead Alex away.

"I told you I'd uncover the rot. Looks like you pushed to hard. Now she's pushing back. I really wouldn't want to be in your shoes" Keats laughed to himself as he left Gene standing alone in the dark questioning room.

"What's going on Alex?" Viv asked as he walked her towards the cell.

"You know the usual get arrested for murder tell Gene he did it in front of a superior officer and storm out.. Viv I need you to get a message to Sam. He should be in my apartment. Tell him, Molly needs to be asleep before eleven. Also tell Chris and Shaz that they really should clean out my fireplace.

"What?" Unusual comments were the norm from Alex but this was pushing it.

"The walls have ears Viv." He nodded and held the door open for her as she walked into the cell. "Home sweet Home" She muttered as he shut the door. Then she turned around and what she saw was not what she expected.

He took his cigarette from his mouth and crushed it under the heel of his shoe and raised his eyes to meet hers. "Hello Alex" Martin Summers murmured. "You've been arrested for killing me. Yet I've died three times and not once was it your fault. Does that seem right to you?"

A/N Ok bear with me. I know what's happening. But I will be in New Zealand for the next two weeks so that next chapter may be a bit of a wait. Also please note I'm not following the path taken by series 3. So the decomposing man is someone else. Sam obviously isn't dead. And the ending will definitely not be the same.
