Luigi was stood drying pint glasses with a towel, listening to the soft music as he went about his business; suddenly he jumped as there was a roar of laughter as CID rolled into the restaurant.
Gene walked straight to the bar to order drinks.
"I don't suppose you've seen DI Bolly kecks have you Luigi?"
Luigi nodded "Senorita Drake was here about an hour ago and she left with a friend of yours"
Gene frowned "Who?"
"Mr Summers, she had had a little too much to drink, and she let him escort her to her flat"
"Shit!"
Gene slammed his hands down on the bar before running them across his face, just as he turned to leave and head up to Alex's flat he saw her walked through the door, still a little unsteady but she didn't seem as drunk as Luigi had suggested.
"DI Bolly Knickers" Gene yelled "Where the hell have you been?"
"Upstairs" she replied.
"Luigi here tells me James has put in an appearance, has he?"
Alex nodded "He wanted to apologise"
"And what did you do?"
"I accepted it" she answered "Can we stop talking about him please?"
"Why did he take you upstairs?"
Alex looked at him, a look of sadness in her eyes "I was drunk"
He took a swig from the glass of wine that Luigi had poured him set down on the bar "Well you're not now"
Alex took the glass from Gene and drank some of the liquid "Yeah I know I'm not"
The evening went on and Gene gradually got more and more drunk until he was sat in his seat trying to kiss Alex, who was slightly embarrassed as Ray, Chris and Shaz found it very amusing.
Gene leaned in, brushing some of Alex's hair out of the way so that he could whisper to her "How about we head off upstairs, ey?"
She took another sip from her drink and smiled flirtatiously "What are you thinking Mr Hunt?"
"I'm thinking about running you a hot bath and then going to bed"
"Makes a change" she laughed "Usually you want to take me upstairs and have your wicked way with me"
He shook his head "Not tonight, it's been a long day and you need a rest, especially if you've been drunk twice in one day"
Alex looked at Shaz, Chris and Ray "Goodnight guys"
Gene nodded in acknowledgement at the trio who were still sat drinking, chatting and joking happily. They carried on drinking, chatting and joking until late into the night, whilst Gene slept and Alex sat beside him, her heart feeling as though it was breaking...
