I originally uploaded both chapter 5 and 6 together as i had written them in one go, but then people were leaving out chapter 5 and i was like 'hey chapter 5 needs some loving too' so I took this chapter down and I'm reuploading it again now. Sorry for the confusion :)

Steve woke to the sensation of being shaken, quite forcefully, and hearing his name sternly spoken repetitively. He opened his bleary eyes to see a woman stood in front of him.

'Oh good your finally awake. I have to go in early and I wanted to make sure you were awake before I left.'

'Time'sit?' He asked before stretching and finding out that due to sleeping in a chair all night, he'd now got a stiff neck.

'It's almost eight. God your breath don't half stink; maybe next time you shouldn't try to match the rest of the guys drink for drink ey?' she said as she stood up and gathered her things. 'Look, I've gotta go but I'll see you later yeah?'

He nodded and with that she left. Steve stood up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes; the first thing he noticed was that he wasn't in his room.

Where the hell am I and what did I do last night? He asked himself whilst heading to the bathroom to get ready for the new day.

Walking into CID, Ste made a bee-line straight to his shared desk and sat down. He put his head in his hands and racked his brain to see what he had done last night.

Well, I woke up in a chair and fully clothed; so I didn't have sex. But who the hell was that woman who woke me up this morning?'

His thoughts were interrupted by a cup of tea being placed on the desk; he looked up to see Alex slightly smiling at him.

'God Ste, you look as rough as I feel.'

'I woke up in a random woman's hotel room and I didn't have time to find my own room to have a shower and get changed.'

'You didn't recognise her at all?'

'Well I had just woken up and I am hung over.'

'So you don't remember Vicky practically carrying you out of Luigi's then?'

Ste's face paled, he hoped he hadn't said something to her that would have embarrassed himself.

Just then Ray walked into CID with Chris in tow; who then went to stand next to Shaz, as she sat typing at her desk.

'Hey hey here he is, fish boy!'

'Fish boy?' Chris questioned

'Yeah cuz he drank like a bloody fish! Well tried to any way.' Ray chuckled, and then noticed what Ste was wearing. 'Ey up. Your wearing what you wore yesterday aren't you? Did you get lucky with that Vicky?' he made a show of looking round the room for her. 'So come on where is she? All shagged out so you had to leave her in bed?' he smirked.

'Ray, never knew you were one for checking out men's clothing – got something to tell us have you?' Alex smirked, instantly diffusing Ray's gleeful mood. 'No, actually that is a good question, where IS Vicky? Wasn't she meant to be in early today?'

'Dunno boss err ma'am why don't you ask the guv? You'll have to wait though; he's got a blonde woman in there with him.'

On hearing this, Ray shot up to see if he could get a glimpse of her and see if she was 'shag-worthy', but the only thing he could see was the back of her head so he sat back down and lit up a cigarette.

Gene's eye was caught by the commotion outside his office and so decided it was time to get this show on the road. He exited his office and stood to one side to allow the other person out.

He smirked at their reactions once they recognised who it was. Chris stared at her until an elbow from Shaz made him look at the floor in embarrassment, Alex smiled encouragingly at her and Ray looked her up and down whilst blowing out his cheeks appreciatively. Ste, however, had the funniest reaction and Gene wished he had a camera; he had stood up and was now gawping at her almost to the point of dribbling. So maybe it's not bolly you're after.

He turned around to look at her; she had flat ballerina pumps on with black leggings paired with an oversized jumper that had a belt round the waist to show off her hourglass figure. Yeah, she had a great body and she was twenty and maybe he would have made a pass at her, if he didn't have to pretend to be her father. That would just open up a whole range of issues that he didn't want to even consider going into.

Vicky nervously stepped forward and cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention.

'So err what do you think? I did it because I thought that if I was playing his daughter I couldn't exactly go around with auburn hair when my 'dad's' is sandy blonde. So I got Shaz to help me find the right colour when we went clothes shopping yesterday.' She picked up a few strands of her shoulder length blonde hair and inspected it so she didn't have to look at them staring at her.

'Right, let's stop the bloody mother's meeting and get on with some work now that we are all here. Ray, you got us the house, where is it?' Gene stepped forward and broke the spell.

'It's on Abbey Road, just under a mile from where the last bloke was kidnapped.'

'Nearest pub?'

'Round the corner guv.'

'Brilliant, looks like I know where to spend my weekends then.' Gene spoke rubbing his hands together excitedly.

'Err yeah about that Guv.' Alex interrupted 'what will you be doing during the week?'

'Well bolls, I'll be working at the mechanics a few streets away. There's a bloke who works there that owed me a favour, so I used my powers of persuasion on him to get him to accept.'

Alex shook her head and headed to her desk to pick up her notes, secretly getting hot under the collar at the thought of Gene dressed as a mechanic, covered in oil.

'Assuming that everyone can attend, Ste and I have arranged three days which we will meet. Monday and Wednesday you will meet on your own but on Friday Vicky will attend; as if you were going out for a 'family drink'. On Monday, you'll be meeting Ray for a darts night, Wednesday will be me and on Friday you'll see Ste, Shaz and Chris. Is that ok with everyone?'

Everyone nodded in agreement as Gene turned to Vicky.

'I've already briefed you on what will be expected of you, so what will you be doing during the day when I'm working my arse off?'

'Well I couldn't get into college because I didn't know what last name we were using or any other information, so I'll guess I'll just stay at home and do housework. Got no choice really.'

'Talking of that' Ray interrupted 'I've already given the estate agents a name; had to really otherwise they wouldn't have given me the keys.' He smirked, dragging it out as long as possible for his own entertainment.

'Well, what is it?' Gene snapped

'Yours.' He smirked nodding at Alex as the telephone in Gene's office starting ringing.

'Mine?' she asked frowning

'Yeah, told them the house was for Gene Drake and his daughter.' He laughed as Gene went to answer his phone.

Ray was still laughing when Gene walked out of his office.

'Right, come on get your coats.'

'Why guv? Knocking off time is not for a good few hours yet, we've only just got here.' Chris questioned

'I know dipshit! A body has been found, so if you'll be so kind as to hurry up then maybe knocking off time will get here just a little bit quicker!' Gene shouted before skulking out, followed by Alex and Ray with Chris traipsing behind.

Vicky walked over to her desk and picked up the phone; constantly trying to ignore the fact that even though his mouth was now closed; Ste was still staring at her. It wasn't unwelcome, just a bit off-putting.

She dialled the number and waited for him to answer.

'DCI Ken Foster.'

'Sir it's WPC Lewis here, I was ringing to let you know of our progress.'

'Go ahead.'

'Well Sir, we've established that they are the same people behind our open cases, and we've come up with a plan on how to catch them. DCI Hunt and I will go undercover as father and daughter and try to lure them out.'

Ste had finally stopped staring and was now sat back down at the desk and casually flicking through random sheets of paper, waiting for her to finish her phone conversation. He looked up when Vicky pulled the receiver away from her ear and, if he listened carefully, he could hear DCI Foster shouting down the phone. He then watched as she apologised to him and then placed the receiver down onto the phone cradle.

'He's not too pleased about what's happening then?' he sarcastically asked.

'Not particularly. He wanted to know why it hadn't been run by him in the first place.' She sighed

'Oh well there's nothing he can do now.' He shrugged 'Listen, erm I just wanted to say that you look stunning today and that I wanted to wish you good luck. I mean I know that you're not going for a couple of hours, but I didn't think I'd have the chance to say it later what with everyone being around.' He blushed and looked away, so he didn't see her throw a dazzling smile his way.

A few hours later, Ray and Chris sauntered back into CID profusely smoking to displace the feelings of nausea caused by seeing the state the body was in. Before they could get to their seats however, they were approached by Vicky.

'Where's DI Drake?'

'Out in reception with the guv.' Chris answered, whilst Ray was busy looking at her arse and thinking of what smutty things he could do to her.

She smiled in gratitude to Chris and gave a glare to Ray then walked off heading towards reception.

'If only she wasn't going undercover tonight, I'd so get into her knickers.' Ray smirked 'Oh well, I'll just have to wait.'

On hearing this, Shaz stopped placing letters into the pigeon holes and turned to him.

'Ray, you're not God's gift to women you know? Not every woman wants to shag you!' she then stomped off back to her desk and Ray shot a dirty look at her retreating back.

Vicky was halfway down the corridor, when she saw that Gene and Alex were walking towards her, so she stood and waited for them to approach her.

'Gene, I'm just saying that you need to be careful. You saw what they did to him!' Alex tried to warn him, but Gene wasn't listening to her.

'Yes I did bolls, and when you become my mother I'll let you know!' he snapped back at her.

Vicky was feeling a bit apprehensive about interrupting them now, but was spared when Alex spoke to her first.

'Yes Vicky?' they continued to walk towards CID and Vicky had to double her pace to keep up with them.

'Erm you had a phone call whilst you were out – a Mr Evan White. He said that he wanted to know if you fancied meeting up sometime.'

'Whatever you do in your own time bolls, should be left till then. Not during work hours.' Gene turned and scowled at Alex, all the while thinking: lucky bastard, good job I didn't make a move though. Although, if I did maybe she would have left that poncy wanker; he could never live up to the Gene Genie.

Alex blushed and after seeing Gene's face, felt the need to indirectly reassure him.

'Thanks Vicky, but I doubt I'll ring him. We're not even dating, so I don't know where this has all come from.'

Gene instantly felt better and the three of them walked into CID in silence.

'Ey up, the Drakes are here!' Ray shouted and the rest of CID responded with muffled laughter and hidden smirks.

Alex blushed as she sat at her desk and Gene threw a threatening glance at him.

'Right you lazy buggers, the body that was found is our missing father. Name is Alfred Evans, body was only just identifiable. I want to know how he died and how long he's been dead. Any and all information must be passed onto the person doing the next meet as Vicky and my very good self will be going undercover. Effective, immediately. Vicky, get your stuff and we'll go.'

As Vicky struggled to carry all of her bags towards the door, Shaz spoke and so stopped her from going any further.

'Guv, where's your stuff?'

'It's in the boot of the Quattro, why Granger?'

'You do know that you can't take that car anywhere whilst you're undercover. It'll give you away.' She smirked

Dammit, she's got a point he thought.

'Right, well I'll park it in the police car park, it'll be safe there. And I'm keeping the keys, no other bastard but me drives my motor. If it has a single scratch on it or it has been moved in any way, then the person responsible will be hung from the ceiling by their genitals, comprende?'

'Yes Guv.' They chorused.

He nodded and led Vicky out towards the front desk to get some car keys off Viv before setting off towards the house.
