After the repercussions of the kiss between Alex and Gene the day before and the attack on Chris . Alex makes a shock discovery about Simon. Can Gene save her in time?
As Gene sat in his office on his own with the blinds closed listening to the song on the stereo, he closed his eyes taking the lyrics in to his thoughts about Alex "
A couple of minutes later he received a phone call from Ray to tell him Chris had been attacked outside Luigi's. He grabbed his coat as he left his office in a rush.
Chris had not been hurt too bad, he had a broken nose and bruising round the right side of his face. "How ya feeling Chris" Ray asked him looking worried. " You're bloody lucky mate, did you get a good description of him" Chris couldn't see who it was because he was jumped from behind.
Soon after Gene arrived, standing in door entrance of the hospital room looking concerned. His team had been through a lot of things since Sam died, Alex nearly dying a few weeks earlier . He wondered what Sam would have probably told him to do in a situation like this. Stood deep in with thoughts and confusion on his mind.
Looking up at Chris who was sat up on the edge of the hospital bed with Shaz standing beside him "Christopher take some time that's an order". "Thanks Guv" he appreciated Gene's concern.
Turning to face Shaz asking her "when she last saw Alex".
She wasn't sure "I saw her yesterday afternoon didn't come to Luigi's last night".
Shaz smiled at Chris as he moved back to laying down on the bed while they waited for the doctor to check on his condition. Gene and Ray left both of them as they both got in the Quattro. "Right I'm gonna check on Alex something's not right here" as he felt worried, he thought as he tried to keep his concentration on the road.
"What did you say ya to her yesterday Gene she looked bloody upset please tell me you two haven't fallen out again because you two are made for each other in a way".
Gene looked at Ray wondering if he had guessed that his DCI was in love with DI Drake.
"We could all tell the first time you two met she had ya wrapped round her finger but me I don't care now as long as ya tell her how you feel about her". He took in Ray's words of advice when he stopped the car at the traffic lights.
When they eventually reached Luigi's restaurant/Alex's flat the place was very quiet as he ran up the stairs to the flats reaching the last step he noticed the front door had been kicked wide open.
Something felt terribly wrong he knew it deep down in his mind. As he shouted her name out loud there was no sign of her. Not in the bedroom, the kitchen or the bathroom. Her Police ID card was on the living room table, the flat was still very tidy. As Ray came out of the kitchen him and Gene really felt worried.
"Bloody hell Guv where's DI Drake you don't think someone's taken her to do you? " Watching Gene as he stood motionless in the middle of the living room his eyes staring down at her ID card in front of DS Carling , his eyes filled up with emotion and anger as he soon realised and suspected who could have taken her. "That nasty, twisted conniving evil scruff bag I'll kill him if he's hurt her".
"You think Simon Wilson could have kidnapped her Guv" Ray didn't know what to think but he along with Gene we're both determined and prayed that they would find her.
"Right I think we should pay Gordon another visit he might know where Simon Wilson lives".
Alex woke up her head was banging and throbbing she didn't know where she was. She found her herself tied up in an underground basement. Looking round it was very dark and she tried to shout out "Help" . Hearing footsteps above her . The person had heard her when their face emerged from the dark she looked at them in deep shock realising Gene was right about Simon "You Why have you done this? I hate you for what you have done to them girls " .
Simon approached her leaning down on their knees. "I'm sorry you had to find out this way Alex but this is for the best my love". He stroked her hair with his hand as she tried to break free and crying out for help. "No one can hear you". She was in shock the man she was falling in love with, was really a killer and she hated him for lying to her. He explained to Alex revealing his dark side to his persona , how he saw both of the girls in the same pub as him and Stephen "they laughed at him and mocked him, he hadn't done anything about it so he did the murders regretting the first one but with the second one he found that girl Heather Nutkins had got in the way and threatened him so he had to silence her once and for all." Alex had listened to his every word taking in the shocking truth about what Simon had done.
"Not you again" as Gene and Ray approached Stephen Gordon who was washing his car. "Got another question to ask ya Gordon where does Wilson live". He looked at Gene thinking "I don't have a bloody clue". Gene grabbed him by the collar of his shirt "I'm gonna ask ya again tell me where he lives he's got DI Drake".
Frightened of what Gene might do if he didn't tell him the address of where Simon lived he finally answered DCI Hunt's question "20 Dayton Drive its about 20 minutes away from here" . "Good Thank You" he let go of Gordon. Rushing to the Quattro this was a race against time to save his DI.
Quattro speeded off down the road, racing round the corner of Redman Street nearly knocking a pregnant woman over who swore back at him. About 15 minutes later the Quattro had arrived at the home of Simon Wilson. He banged his fist on the door very loudly and fiercely. "Wilson get out here now or if you don't I'll kick ya front door down. There was no reply.
Smelling gas coming from the garage. Ray ran to the garage door he couldn't open it as it was stiff. Simon had moved Alex's unconscious body to his car. Gene ran back to the Quattro getting hiss gun out he aimed and fired at the lock as Ray continued to kick at the metal door. After a while they were able to get it free from the hinges around the metal framing of the garage door.
As Gene pushed the door up above him and Ray he ran in, the sight in front of him made his emotions even more harder. Simon had gassed the car with him and Alex inside. He managed to get the door on the left hand side open, reaching in he managed to pull out Alex as her face looked very frail and pale.
"Don't you dare die on me Bolly I need you" he shouted as he done CPR on her which he had learnt when he first joined the Manchester police force. There was no response as he tried again "Come on Bolly not today you're needed here with us". He checked her pulse she was still breathing.
He collapsed on his knees feeling absolutely exhausted.
Ray checked on Simon Wilson, "how is he Raymondo" . Ray shook his head "He's dead Guv" One of the next door neighbours had called an ambulance.
"Guv yer a hero" Ray smiled at him patting him on the back for his heroic rescue as the ordeal was finally over.
Waking up a few days later in hospital, the first thing she saw was Gene over her bed. "How ya doing Bolls" he smiled at her. Holding her hand with his. "How is he" she asked Gene. "He's locked up Bolls can't hurt you ever again " He didn't want to tell her Simon was dead.
"You saved me Gene" brushing her three fingers against the left side of his face , sending a warmth feeling throughout his body deep down he was loving her touch . His eyes moved away from her slightly feeling a bit embarrassed, feeling his cheeks go bright red she laughed noticing "You always act like this when we get close" she stared into his big eyes holding the look for a few minutes sending so many emotions and moments of relief running through both their minds .
"I'm sorry about them things I said to you Gene that afternoon in the police station" he nodded that he understood holding her hand tighter.
