Gene would not leave Alex alone all morning and it was driving her nuts! She'd just managed to lay her hands on some of the old reports from back in 73. Gene stood around, arms cross. His eyes looked like they were burning holes in the folders she had! She felt selfr conovuse has she went through the heap of paperwork.
"Had enough," Gene began roughly. "Do you feel like working on our case anytime soon?"
"Right," Alex replied, abashed. "Let's go then." She bookmarked the page she was on lef the area with Gene. Chris Skelton, who was sitting down at his desk, saw Alex leave with Gene. He snuck a look over at Ray, who was busy filing his report. He hurried over and swiped the boomarked reort. Ray caught him taking it back to his desk.
"You're gonna catch it from Gene, you."
Chris scoffed. "This is wierd, why was she looking through these?"
"Who cares?" Ray began roughly. "She got caught by Gene mucking around, and we'd be next if he catches you."
Chris swore vehemetly, making Ray's mouth drop open in astonishment and sent him scurrying over to Chris. Chris happened to be flipping past the papers and landed on the whole psych evlaution for Frank Morgan, complete with 'mugshot'
Ray looked haunted, as if remembering some demons of his own. "I think that is what Drake was seeking after." He stated roughly before stomping back to his own desk to do his work. Chris just quitely bookmarked the evaluation and placed it back. The two quitely went back to work. Hours after, Alex and gene stormed in the squadroom, furious at each other.
'What is bloody wrong with you!" Gene grumbled, "You haven't been acting yourself the last couple of days."
"You wouldn't understand, it's woman stuff." Alex shot back. Ray and Chris gave each other amused looks as the drama unfolded before them.
"Bloody heck I won't, i was married to a woman, you know! And this thing put aside, I know you would have stayed at your desk all day, soaking up information from those old files!"
Alex thought that if she had her way, she'd be home now, finsihing reading that book! She mentally damned the book, it was all its fault! It was like a drug she couldn't get enough of! Each time she read one sentence, and flipped oje page, she was drawn deep and deeper into the mystery life of this stranger! So at the end of her day, she was curlked up in her place, reading the book.

I appeared outside the pub exactly two hours after my big escape moment.
"You're back," Nelson began upon accidently bumbping into me as he cleaned up around the pub.
"What happened?"
"I ran," I began, "I am so sorry. gene Hunt stepped into view from the loo. "We thought we upset
you." he looked offended. And he had due right, for me to run out like that!
"I'm sorry that I ran. I had a very bad feeling that something was wrong back home, so I needed to
phone, just to make sure. I think I am coward."
Gene swore softly, his scowl dropped to an astonished look. "If it's family, then you had to leave.
I would have done the same thing."
Annie, Ray, and Sam walked into the pub just then. They saw me and made happy exclaimations
that i was back. i saw that Chirs wasn't with them, so I let it slide, he was an adult after all. Annie
invited to sit down at a table with her, and I accepted. Her and I talked about her life for awhile, then
she wnated to knoe about me.
I told her that I lived at my home in America all my life, and my dad was sick in a bad way so I'd have
to help with him. We had close to no money all the time. Gene wnated clarification on the money issue,
which made me feel ashamed, made me feel like a beggar, which I was not trying to do at all. I felt a tad
bit offended.
'DCI hunt," I started assertivley, getting ready to let him know how I felt.
"Gene," he began, "Just call me Gene."
I started to say how I felt about what it made it sound like I was trying to ask for, when Phyliss burst into
the pub like the world was on fire. Cops cars thundered past as she did so. "there's been a shhoting down at
(Can't remembere the place she said)
"Well that's it then," Gene replied. Everyone was a bustle of activity as they got their stuff sorted. they are all
leaving and Sam comes up ti me. he has to bend down slightly to whispere to me because I am short.
"Remember, stay away from Frank Morgan."
"Okay," I replied. "I've alway stay away from him."
Sam gave me this little smile as he straightened up. "Just don't want anything happening to you."
I followed the lot out of the building. They start going down one way, and I the other. I hear Gene
talking to the team about the shooter. "We already know he's still there," I heard him say. I made
sure the team was focused on gene before I popped out of it.
