Okay this one is a little shorter than the last one but hey. Hope you like.

Chapter 2

The next morning Alex walked into CID an hour late. She awoke with a splitting headache which may have been something to do with the 4 bottles of wine she shared with her DCI the night before. She snuck to her desk hoping not to be seen. She managed to make it to her desk before

"DRAKE! Get in here now."

Alex rose from her desk walked slowly to his office, wincing as Gene slammed the door behind her.

"So how's your head?" Gene asked with a smug look on his face. He knew how her head was, it was killing her, it was written all over her face.

"It's your fault anyway."

"How is it my fault?" Gene truly couldn't believe he was getting the blame for all this.

"I wanted to go to bed but you said, oh no let get another bottle it's only early." Gene couldn't help but laugh.

"So you think this is funny do you?" Alex said walking round his desk to him. "It's your fault I feel like this you selfish bastard." She said, playfully hitting his chest, leaving her hand linger a moment to long and looking deep into his eyes. Gene took her hand and held it to his chest and stared back at her.

"I didn't make you drink it you dozy mare." Gene said with a glint of a smile in his eyes. Alex was under a trance staring in his eyes for what felt like hours. There was a shouting from out in CID and the trance was broken. Alex looked away and pulled her hand from Gene' chest. Gene walked with purpose to the door and Alex followed quickly in step. Gene flung the door open and stormed out the office.

"What is going on out here?"

Two men rose from Ray's desk, one of them being Dean, who looked better than yesterday, the other was unknown to both Gene and Alex. It was this man who spoke first.

"I am Superintendent Richardson, the new super of Fenchurch East; I was on my way down here to introduce myself when I was stopped by this young man. He is here to report an Assault by a Police Officer." All through his speech he started at Gene.

"Yes we know... What assault by a police officer? Last night he said he was jumped from behind and didn't get chance to see who it was." Gene said outraged at what the new Super was implying, that one of his men, or Bolly had beat this man, but it would be Bolly, she could, she did have a mean left right hook on her. Anyway none of his men would do something like this.

The super turned to Dean and spoke directly to him. "Is the person who attacked you in this room?" Dean looked around nervously

"Yes" he said simply.

"And can you point to him?"The Super asked sympathetically as if talking to a young child. The whole of CID was silent waiting for a response. Dean raised his arm and pointed at his attacker.

"It was him. DCI Gene Hunt."
