Not sure how long it will be yet will see how it goes

Ray, Shaz and Chris watched as their Guv and Ma'am were in his office throwing arms everywhere Alex leaned over his desk shouting receiving the same in return. As Alex turned for the door slamming it behind her then they looked away pretending to be stuck in the case they were currently working on.

"Drake!" Gene bellowed calling after her.

Alex turned around and met in the middle of CID "I am fed up Gene, I out finished" she threw her warrant card to the floor.

Shaz looked shocked as she watched her leave for the door no one wanted her to leave deep inside she didn't think Gene even wanted her to go.

"Drake, Get back here" Gene called after her but Alex carried on walking and left the station.

Gene walked back into his office slamming the door behind him and looked out the window watching as Alex crossed the road to Luigi's. Feeling for his hipflask he finally pulled it out his pain relief it down the liquid and turned noticing her warrant card still lying on the floor.

Shaz looked at Chris who was oblivious to what had just happened and Ray shrugged at her as she looked at him for a response neither knowing what to do.

Gene walked out his office and picked up her warrant card "Right you lot carry on working yeah"

o.O.o

Alex was sat in Luigi's looking through the paper being interrupted by Luigi "Drink senorita?" Alex nodded and carried on looking through the paper "senorita I hope you don't mind me asking but what are you doing?"

Alex looked up and smiled weakly "Looking for a new job Luigi"

Luigi's eyes widened "Ahh senorita, you and senior Hunt not friends?"

Alex said nothing and Luigi got the hint and went to fetch her drink, closing the newspaper in disappointment she sat herself back in her seat "I'm so tired" she said to herself "I can't stand any more arguments with him" she felt a tear drop down onto the table in front making her crass as she quickly wiped it away "Don't cry!" she said angry with herself "Don't cry over him"

Luigi placed the drink down on the table concerned "On the house" he smiled weakly she smiled back in return and watched him leave to serve the other customers.

Alex brought her glass to her lips to take away the pain and frowned "Why are you in my head" she asked herself as Gene appeared making her frustrated "I just can't hate you can I" she finished her drink as quickly as she possibly could and stood up off to take a walk, she didn't know where to but she knew a walk would help clear her mind.

o.O.o

Gene decided to call it a day he was so stressed out he couldn't concentrate on the case properly "Right you lot pub"

The others were glad to hear them words ringing in their eyes and rose from their seats quickly and made their way to Luigi's.

"Senior Hunt, what's wrong with your poor Senorita?" He asked as Gene entered the restaurant just as depressed.

"I don't know do I and she's not my anything, now pint, go" Gene ordered as he slumped down in his usual seat "Where are you" he said to himself looking around not spotting her.

"Oi Guv, Chris lights it with his fart" Ray beamed laughing at Chris who was attempting it again.

Gene rolled his eyes at them and grunted thanks to Luigi as his drink was placed down in front of him.

Alex finished from her walked entered Luigi's she could hear their voices but didn't look at any of them she walked straight upstairs to her flat hopefully un-noticed.

Gene stopped her and sunk as she ignored him and walked upstairs he gripped his drink in his hand.

Luigi noticed this and walked over to Gene "Why don't you go and talk to her?"

Gene smirked putting his empty glass down "No Luigi, she made her choice"

Luigi took the empty glass "Another?"

Much to Luigi's surprise Gene shook his head "No Luigi I'm off ome"

Luigi nodded and watched as Gene slipped out of Luigi's heading home.

o.O.o

Gene didn't come is all Alex could think as she curled up on her sofa looking up at the celling, nobody came, "Shows how much you were missed" she said to herself, she wasn't sure whether she had done the right thing but she was sure that she was the only one bothered by it.

Gene picked up the phone hovering over the digits that would reach to her voice she stared for a few minutes in decisive but put the phone down, this was her choice he reminded himself. He didn't realise how much it had affected him, Alex had only been gone for half a day and he was lonely, it was only now she was gone he realised how much he needed her.
