About: Ashes To Ashes
Gene Hunt slumped down in his office chair and lit himself a cigarette, beginning to open the post that he had picked up when he called at his house before coming into work a few hours early. There were bills and leaflets advertising things that Gene obviously wasn't interested in, but there was one envelope that had no stamp or postage mark, on the front it had his name scribbled across it. He opened it and slid out the piece of paper.
Dear Gene,
I thought you should know what your woman has been up to, when I came to apologise she was so drunk that I felt compelled to take her upstairs, it would have been rude of me to do so with her being alone and vulnerable to whatever strong willed male may decide to seduce her in her drunken stupor. The thing is with Alex is that she knows what she wants and she won't stop until she gets it, and we didn't stop until she got it.
I hope the two of you are able to overcome her unfaithfulness, but in case you can't...feel free to pass on my contact details, she has a body that I'll never forget.
James.
He scrunched the paper up and threw it into the bin, storming out of the empty office and hurrying back to Alex's flat. He let himself into the flat quietly, knowing that she would still be in bed as she didn't have to get up for another hour or so.
Pushing open the bedroom door he entered and perched himself on the edge of the bed, feeling a mixture of sadness and anger welling up in the pit of his stomach.
Alex opened her eyes and slowly sat up as she saw Gene sat on the end of the bed, facing away from her.
"What's up?" Alex yawned.
She saw his shoulders shrug and slowly he stood up, walked over to the window and ran his hands through his hair.
"I need to ask you something Alex...and you might not like it"
"Go on"
He turned to face her, his eyes stony and cold "Did you sleep with James?"
She sat silently, staring back at Gene until tears started to roll down her cheeks, he spun around to face away from her again, his hands against the wall as he tried to restrain the many emotions that were now raging through him.
Alex climbed out of bed and approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder and sobbing.
"Gene I..."
"Tell me you didn't do it Bolls" spoke Gene "Then we can forget about it, if you tell me that you didn't do it"
The tears were running faster and quicker down Alex's cheeks now as she heard the hurt hanging off of his every word. He could see her reflection in the window; hands covering her face, body heaving with every wave of tears.
"Oh God..."
"I am so sorry Gene...I'm so sorry"
"So that might not be my baby, it could be his"
"Don't say that!" she begged "Don't say it!"
"But it might be!" he shouted loudly, he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Do you not think I haven't thought that you idiot!" she picked up one of the pillows and hit him with it "I have tossed and turned every night since I found out I was pregnant, scared to death that he might be the father...but I'm begging you Gene, please don't leave me, I don't think I'd be able to cope without you, you're my rock"
"I can't leave you Alex, if I left you it would kill me...I love you"
She cupped his face in her hands and rested her forehead against his "We'll get through this, we have to"
