Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story and has placed it on alert, I fully appreciate it. Now as promise the meeting between Alex and Gene. For those who didn't know the details about the song title chapter in the last one, the artist was the Godfather of soul James Brown singing Living in America, released in 1985 as a single and in 1986 as part of his album "Gravity". Here is the next song titled chapter this one is a little bit more contemporary and more recent.
The Living Proof
At Heathrow airport Melody Clarkson paced as she waited for her best friend and her family to arrive, she had been living in London for a whole year and was settled, she was going steady with a Northern copper in the MET that she genuinely liked, she enjoyed her role as head of the British Prosecution as was even contemplating on making the move permanent but she wanted to discuss it with Alex before making such a huge commitment. Her thoughts were interrupted when it was announced that Alex's flight had arrived and she waited as the influx of passengers started to come down the stairs. Melody stretched her neck hoping to get a glimpse of her best friend and her god kids, when she caught sight of them she waved her hand in delight and ran up to Alex engulfing her in a massive hug.
"Oh Alex, it has been too long, I missed you. They told me you were coming and I have been bubbling with excitement all week."
"It is great to see you too Mel, I hear you are dating a copper" smiled Alex.
"You know him."
"I do?"
"Northerner, Moustache, curly permed hair...sound familiar?" teased Melody
"NOOOO!
"YES!"
"You are dating DI Ray Carling?"
"YES!"
"How did you do it?"
"Well it was a gradual thing, I came in to work with Fenchurch over a murder collar on my first couple of months here and he introduced himself to me, shy thing he was. He was stumbling over his words and everything. We hit it off right away during discussions over the case and he asked me out for a drink and I accepted and it went on from there. He was a pure gentleman."
"Wow, I never thought of Ray Carling that way."
"Well Lexi, it has been nearly 6 whole years, people change over time."
At this Alex stiffened and Melody knew why.
"Look Alex I know you are worried about Gene and about his reaction when he finds out about Eugene and Violet but you have to face this. Fenchurch East and the London Press are rife with gossip and spreading of lies and stories so it is best you get it out of the way as soon as possible" cautioned Melody.
"I know, but not yet, I will do it when I start work and meet up with everyone. Right now I just want to get settled in London with the kids and get everything sorted out" sighed Alex.
"As long as you get the elephant in the room out of the way tout sweet" said Melody.
"How is Gene?" asked Alex.
"Moody, quiet, keeps to himself a lot, according to those in Fenchurch including Ray; he hasn't been the same since you left.
"Does he know I am here?"
"Yes, he does, he was briefed by the other Supers and the Chief Supers of both Fenchurch West and East along with the Commissioner the moment they got back from the States and I don't think he looked to thrilled but there was something in his eyes that betrayed him, it's wired, almost like he was excited at the prospect of your return but he quickly squashed it the moment I looked at him" replied Melody.
At this moment Eugene and Violet came scampering through the airport tugging Maria and Alyssa with them, racing to their godmother.
"Aunty Melody!"
"Hey, how are my two lovely grandchildren?" asked Melody as she crouched down and hugged them both.
"We are great!" Aunty Melody!" yelled Eugene, his eyes glittering in the morning light.
"We are going to this school aunty Melody, it is called Hopes and dreams nursery school...isn't it exciting? Asked Violent, her huge orbed hazel eyes sparkling with excitement as she bounced up and down.
"Wow...that's nice. That's a new place."
"I was considering the international school in North London but I didn't know how long we were going to be here so I choose the Hopes and Dreams nursery school since they cater kids up to 8 so until I crack the case and the need to assess our situation comes then I will stick with it" replied Alex.
"Fair enough, I heard that you are considering staying in the States" stated Melody
"Yeah, I am."
"In that case, I need to tell you that I have been offered a permanent placement with the British prosecution and I have a steady relationship with Ray here, so I am thinking about staying in London" said Melody.
"Well good for you, I am not going to stop you, you deserve every bit of happiness that you deserve, you have done a lot for me when I first came to the States and helping me raise Eugene and Violet" said Alex with a heavy heart, she didn't want Melody to leave but she was entitled to live her life.
"But what about you?" asked Melody
"I am a big girl, I can take of myself, I have got Maria and Alyssa so don't worry" reassured Alex
Both women shared a smile and with that the family got into the cabs and went to the home that they will be staying for the next couple of months.
The two months flew by too quickly for Alex and it was now her first day at Fenchurch East CID as DCI Drake. She had woken up early at 4am to do her ritual routine that started with a few rounds of boxing with the punching bag where she worked up a sweat and enhanced her muscles in her arms and upper body which had helped her fight scum in the streets of Washington since becoming fully physically trained and armed by the service. She then, placed her yoga mat on the ground and did her lower and upper body stretches while conducting a few meditation rituals to clear her mind and prepare herself mentally and emotionally for what will be a bruising day.
After her exercises were completed she went in the shower to wash off the sweat and refresh herself. She went to the wardrobe and pulled out a simple crisp white work shirt top, her black trousers, her matching black blazer and a pair of flat shoes. She tied her now straight long brunette hair in a bun and moved to the mirror to put on her lip gloss and stared at herself in the mirror. She had noticed that all colours in her appearance that she used to have in 1981 an 82 was gone, she had also noticed that she had reverted back to her 21st century self in regards to clothing. It was boring, plain, devoured of life and unfeeling to the world. That was the way she had been since coming to the states, she no longer bothered with making herself look good now that she was juggling work and motherhood, the skinny jeans and the see through pussy bow blouses were gone, the leather jacket was stashed away in the back of the closet which never saw the light of day, make up nonexistent. She was plain boring Alex. She shook herself out of her revere and went down to the kid's bedroom, when she found that it was empty Alex went down to the kitchen where she found Eugene and Violet dressed and ready to go, going through their homework and making sure that they did everything right while Violet ate her cereal and toast while Eugene ate his bacon and eggs. Maria, the nanny was packing their bags and their lunch while Alyssa, her sister and housekeeper of the Drake household was cleaning the rooms and preparing breakfast for herself and the adults in the household.
"You guys are lifesavers!" exclaimed Alex.
"It's no problem Alex" replied Alyssa who handed her a cup of coffee, a bowl of cereal and a small tub of yogurt to her.
"Melody has already left for work, she says she will come into CID after 4pm with your stuff that you want to put into your office" said Maria
"Great, perfect timing, you will pick up the kids will you Maria?"
"Of course Alex, I will pick them up straight after I go grocery shopping" replied Maria
Alex prepared her files and her notes and started to organise them in her brief case while Eugene and Violet finished off their meals and work.
"You two ready?" asked Alex
"Yes Mummy" both exclaimed.
"I really like it here mummy" stated Violet.
"I know you do sweetheart, I haven't decided if we are staying or not but I will consider it."
"Are you going to see daddy?" asked Violet.
"He isn't our daddy sis, we don't even know him" replied Eugene.
At this Violet started to wobble a bit, biting her lip in order to stop herself from bursting into tears and looked up at her mother in panic.
"Eugene Drake, you don't say those things in front of you mother and your sister" snapped Maria.
"Sorry, sis, sorry mummy, but it is true" mumbled Eugene.
"We will talk about this later, right now get your stuff and we will get going" replied Alex as she got out her long grey overcoat and put it on, picking up her briefcase and walking out the front door, Eugene and Violet in tow.
Driving along London, the kids chatted at the back about school while Alex thought about the upcoming day, her nerves was starting to get the best of her as she started to chew on her bottom lip as thoughts ran through her head at 100 miles per second. How was she going to react to Gene once she saw him? How was he going to react? How was she going to tell him about the fact that he is a father? The fact that she was pregnant and kept it from him for nearly 6 years? How will the team react? How will this affect their working relationships? How will this affect the kids? Will he want them? Will he reject them? Will he try to take them away from her? Will her children start a war on one another over him. The signs were already there. Eugene was showing signs of hatred towards Gene, acting like he didn't even exist and sniping at his sister at even the slightest mention of the word "daddy". This was in stark contrast to Violet, who wanted to meet Gene and get to know him. Will he reject her? Will he let her down? How will she cope with such disappointment if and when it happened? Alex shook herself out of those thoughts once again as she stopped at the front of school and dropped off the kids.
"Ok, Maria, will meet you here at 2pm ok?"
"Yes, mummy" both said as they skipped their way to assembly.
"Kids!" yelled Alex.
"Yes, mummy?" both said quickly turning around.
Alex just smiled and blew a kiss to themm, both responded by jumping up, grasping it with both hands and pulling it close to their hearts as they ran off. This little act made Alex's heart ache as she remembered Molly doing the exact same thing the day she was shot. She sighed to herself, stated the car and drove off to Fenchurch East.
When she arrived at Fenchurch East at her newly required parking space, Alex stepped out and breathed in the fresh air, she looked around her noticing that the place hadn't changed a bit since she was last here. This was it Alex, she thought to herself, she was one hour early, she had to congratulate herself, the team was so used to her being hours late so this will be a rude shock to them. She took a deep breath, opened up the doors to Fenchurch East and walked the corridors.
She passed the front desk where Viv nearly dropped his coffee at the sight of Alex.
"Bugger me, welcome back ma'am!"
"Thank you Viv, how have you been?"
"Good, very good. We have all missed you here ma'am and do you mind me saying that you have changed dramatically." Noted Viv
"Well, it has been six years Viv, people change, everyone in?"
"The team is, as well as the Super and Chief Super of both East adn West, they were at their offices the last time I saw them. Dunno about the Guv though" replied Viv.
"Right, thanks Viv."
"No problem ma'am."
Alex continued her trip up the corridors, the tail ends of her long grey coat swishing from side to side, she came to stop at the double doors of CID and peeped in and gasped. The team was doing nothing as usual, looking at the usual porn mags, gossiping, laughing, smoking their fags while Chris and Shaz were looking at each other with adoring eyes while Ray rolled his eyes in the background. Nope, they haven't changed one bit. She then looked up to see Gene talking and waiting with the Super and Chief Super. She breathed in once more and straightened up her shoulders and with both hands opened up the double doors of CID making everyone stop and drop everything, stare and gasp in awe as they looked at their new DCI...looking very different.
"Good morning, DCI Alexandra Elizabeth Drake, sent from CIA headquarters Washington USA, reporting for duty."
The whole team gasped in awe at this new and improved Alex Drake, this wasn't the Alex Drake that they used to know. The old Alex Drake would show up hours late, all dolled up in skinny jeans and feminine girly blouses with her makeup and hair done, nursing a hangover from the night before. This Alex Drake was different. Her head held up high, she had authority and firmness in her voice, she wasn't drunk, she wasn't emotional, she was cold and all colour was devoid from her appearance. This really got Gene's attention as he stared at her while the Super and the Chief Super started talking.
"Ahh, DCI Drake, you are an hour early, we weren't expecting you yet, we still haven't prepared everything for you yet" said Super Watson.
"That is quite alright sir, I can wait, I still need to get settled in" replied Alex
"Ma'am! Exclaimed Shaz and Chris in excitement, both going up to her and hugging her, a hug in which she returned.
"Hi Shaz, Chris."
"Bloody hell, ma'am, when Melody said to me you looked different I wasn't expecting this!" exclaimed Ray, who was in complete shock in seeing this complete transformation in his former DI now turn DCI who was now his boss.
"Well, people do change, it has been a while since 1982 and you should talk...acting like a gentleman toward a woman" rebutted Alex good naturedly.
"Touché boss, you have been speaking to Melody, well welcome back, we have to meet up for dinner sometime".
"Count on it."
"DCI Drake, this is DC Emma Green and WPC Miranda Perry." Said Super Watson pointing to the two women who were looking at their boss with awe and admiration.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I have heard and read great things about you." Said Alex, sticking out her hand for the two women to shake who did so in such an enthusiastic manner.
"It is an honour to meet you ma'am, we have heard and read all about you in CID and we hear a lot about your work in the CIA. We look forward to work with you ma'am.
Alex just smiled in reply, the rest of the team came around her, kissing her on the cheek and either shaking her hand or hugging her while Gene looked on with hard cold eyes. It was clear to him that she had more loyalty from CID than he did. The team had turned away from him ever since operation rose and all placed their support and loyalty to Alex who in return repaid that loyalty and respect by helping them and training them to the best of her ability making them competent coppers. This was in stark contrast to him where he had to put with snarky comments, glares, backstabbing and disloyalty from his own team.
This made him angry and once more all of his hatred and anger that he felt towards Alex came back in full force. He blamed Alex for all of this, she had treated him like a fool, lied to his face and stamped all over his heart. After she had outshined him by proving to be right about the blag and about Summers and Jeannette, he was faced with demotion but once again Alex had saved him, she then got all the glory while he was left to face the humiliation and ridicule from his team and superiors. He proceeded then to make her life a living hell and hoping that he would drive her out of his life for good. His wish came true when she left for the States, but instead of being happy and relieved, he felt cold, empty, alone and saddened. He missed her badly. He tried very hard to move on, filling his life with strippers, prossies, booze and fags but found very quickly that it was no use, nothing can fill the hole that was left in his heart by Alex. And the worse thing is, is that his heart still ached for her, he still loved her, he still wanted her.
But now, as she stood there, basking in all of the well wishes from his team, he felt all of his feelings of hatred, anger, humiliation and hurt overcome him again. But what stopped him from snipping at her was the change in her appearance. He took a good look at her, she had changed but not in a good way. Her hair was no longer all curly and bouncy, it was straight and pulled up in a neat conservative bun, no make up to emphasise her beauty, the tight skinny jeans and those hourglass figure hugging dresses that showed off her gorgeous arse, curves and body was long gone and replaced by lifeless clothing which was devoid of all colour and life. The leather jacket that used to give him the right horn was gone and replaced by a long grey coat which was just as motionless as the clothing that sagged off her body. But what scared and saddened him the most was the hardness and coldness of her eyes behind the fake smile that she plastered on her face, no life, no spark, no passion, no fire...just nothing. Devoid of all emotion, endless pools of darkness and death that had swallowed up any sign of life and light that she once had. Once upon a time he could drown in her eyes but now all he could see was a black hole in those cold frosty eyes and that sent a shiver down his spine and not the good type of shiver. Had he really inflicted that much damage on her the night before operation rose? Was it his fault that she is the way she is now? He shook his head of such thoughts, no, she brought this all on her herself, he nodded to himself even though deep inside he knew that he was responsible for all of it.
"DCI Drake." Said Gene in a cool, formal manner.
"Superintendent Hunt." Replied an equally cool Alex
Tension started to build and thicken as the two of them challenged each other, it was Gene that first broke the silence.
"Are you ready for the presentation?"
"I have got all my files and notes here and ready to go, I am just waiting for you to do your job and actually give me what you have so far since I won't know how to go about this murder case without context." Replied Alex with a forced bitter smile which didn't go unnoticed by Gene and the rest of the team.
"Right, let's start then,
Gene, DCI Wilkins and the team presented all of their findings which included history, the murders, the methods and the crimes that had taken place within London since Owen and Evans had teamed up. After the presentation was done, Gene turned to Alex with a bitter smug smile on his face, thinking that he had outsmarted her, snipping at her throughout the entire presentation which didn't go down well with the team. But what really infuriated him was the fact that Alex not once refuted him or responded to him personally except on questions and statements regarding the case, in fact she looked at him right in the eyes with no passion or any acknowledgement of his existence and just carried on talking about the case without a care in the world and it scared him, she was like a robot, she wasn't human to him.
Alex than stood up and opened up her brief case and her bags which had data files dating back to the early 60s where Evans started out his empire with the Chicago Mafia where he was trained to be the best dealer and assassin ever recorded. She pulled out a second white board where she placed out all of the photos that Evans was connected to during his time in the US, along with all of his medical reports and all of the murders and drug shipments that he had been involved in. Her collection was so long that it filled up three whole whiteboards which stunned the entire team and smacked Gene Hunt down a peg or two. It was clear to Gene that Alex knew her stuff and had been following his case for quite some time which again made him angry, she had outshone him again and his team was in awe of her. But then again, this was no longer his team, he was their super, but he was no longer their Guv, Alex was their Guv now and that just made him want to punch someone.
"Alright. Evans or "the Easy E" as the like to call him.
"Why do they call him that?" asked Ray
"Well, all ring leaders, all have a name that they go by that makes them well recognisable. It's a pop culture thing. Now as I was saying, Evans, like many criminals all start out from poor, disadvantaged homes, many of these people usually have a history of abuse from their fathers and neglect from their mothers. In Evans case, his father was a criminal himself, spend half of his life in and out of prisons for rape, sexual assault, murder and selling drugs, he was also an alcoholic with a history of abuse himself. In many cases of abuse, it is the abused who becomes the abusers, especially those who don't seek medical and psychological assistance, so the cycle is seen here yet again in Evans. His mother was an a drug user and alcoholic herself, she has been arrested multiple times for distribution of drugs, petty theft and assault which was usually done in order to feed her drug habit. Evans was often left on his own in a slump which you can see here in this photo with hardly any food, fresh water, clothes or even proper utilities to clean himself with.
"Dirty Bastards" snarled Ray
"Yes, very. Anyway in order to survive, Evans would often prowl the streets with street gangs in Chicago and would often be involved in petty theft and assault until the age of 10 when the authorities took him away from his parents and placed him into foster care. Now because he didn't get access to medical assistance, his behaviour and conditions started to worsen. He was moved from foster home to foster home until he ran away at the age of 17 and joined the Mafia which had a lot of control in Chicago and in other states during the 60s and 70s." Explained Alex as she continued to place the photos and documentations on the white board which amazed the whole team and only made Gene's anger increase.
"These men, seen here are all the men that Evans worked and trained with, all prominent mobsters including Tony Accardo, Frank Buccieri, Anthony "The Ant" Spilotro, Michael Peter "Micky" Spilotro, Charles "Chuckie" Nicoletti, also known as "The Typewriter" and John "Handsome Johnny" Roselli plus various other members of the Irish Mob in the united States, the oldest mobster gang, dating all the way back the 19th century. Evans then of course learnt all the tricks of the trade, ranging from extortion, corruption with politicians and coppers, major drug syndicates all over the world, child prostitution and normal prostitution, weaponry shippings, people smuggling, animal smuggling, diamond smuggling, contract killings, everything. This man has since dabbled with terrorism and murder, because he wants to expand his empire, make a name for himself not only nationally but internationally, he wants to put fear into everyone in order to control them. People who cross him get no warning, since Evans is getting on with age, he will not do the killings, the bombings or the shippings himself, he will not use his energy unless it is absolutely necessary. He will get minions or his highest ranking commanders to do the work for him, failure to do so often lead to their deaths. In order to make sure that everything goes smoothly, he will often have lovers and his friends on the streets to keep an eye on things, which made this operation for me and for other undercover agents very dangerous. He uses guerilla warfare tactics with his enemies and he uses psychological mind games to mess with his victims before striking them.
"Now Owns, he was just small time supplier and dealer from what I can gather from the evidence here and from what he have, here, is a man who wanted a slice of the empire since he was in a partnership with Evans. Since Evans wanted to expand his empire to countries like Australia, Britain, Italy, Mexico, Japan, China, Ireland, Columbia, Israel and Canada, he needed someone who knew people on the inside and is a sweet talker with a rep for getting what he wants, Owens had that in spades."
Once again the team struggled to keep up with Alex's research, they were amazed at how much work Alex had put into this case which only made their admiration for her grow along with their determination to bring the bastard down. Gene meanwhile, started to get a headache, she really did love the sound of her own voice, he thought bitterly to himself.
"Gene, are you even paying attention to this stuff or is your small mind passed out already from the booze and the fags?" asked Alex
"Not at all your highness" snarled Gene.
"Could have fooled me, surprised you even made it this far up the ranks, we need people with brains, not guts spilt on the floor." fired Alex in her cool calm manner.
Gene was about to rebuff until Alex once again took over him with her analysis of the case while the rest of the team nervously followed on.
"Moving on, Owen felt that he was entitled more to the profits and to the fortunes and confronted Evans about it, now according to my informant when Evans refused to, Owen threatened him and walked out. That was when he came to you with his evidence, unfortunately for him, Evans had friends higher up in legal and political institutions which has led to a major overhaul of the system and to the many arresst and jailing of many men involved with Evans empire. Before these arrests took place however, they passed on the information to Evans and he had his lackeys knock him off.
"So what now Guv?" asked Chris and Shaz.
"Well, right now we know the places where he sells his women and his drugs, let's start with that. Right now, they will be keeping their heads down after Evan's informants from the system has just been arrested and jailed, the main reason why Melody is heading the prosecution right now. So we keep an eye on all their hot spots. Right now informants are not talking because they are scared so if we are to bring them and get them to assist us, we would need to offer them protection. So right now I want Ray, Chris and the B team along with those from Fenchurch East and West's B and C division to start surveying all of the hot spots. Then I want Shaz Perry and Green to work with the A team of Fenchurch West to start cracking onto our informants. It is not much but it is a start so mush!" yelled Alex
"Yes Guv" and everyone scurried off to do their duties leaving the Supers thoroughly impressed and a seathing Gene.
Once the Supers had left Alex gave Gene a smug sadistic grin and with the flick of her hair she walked to her open office which read "DCI Alex Drake" on the door, slamming it with such force that it rattled the hinges and echoed throughout the room. She then proceeded to shut the blinds rendering the meeting over and leaving Gene on his own in the middle of CID, feeling rejected, humiliated, hurt and angry.
The rest of the day went slowly by, thanks to the diligence of the team, both stations were able to make several breakthroughs on the case with several strong leads that had the potential to make huge gains in taking down Evans but nobody was under the illusion that this was going to be easy. Other cases were then dealt with throughout the day as Alex calmly walked through Shaz, Perry and Green through the small to medium heavy cases while the boys tackled the much heavier cases. Alex spent most of the day in her office sorting out her files in the cabinet and going through various forms of paperwork. She didn't see Gene for the rest of the day which made her sigh with relief. It was then 4pm when she decided to call it a day, everyone had worked hard and they had made significant progress whereas with Gene everything was at stalemate.
"Ok, you guys, you are all dismissed, do whatever you like." Sighed Alex
All of the team was getting ready to leave when Melody appeared with Alex's personal belongings that she wanted to put in her bare office.
"Sorry I am late Alex had a few things to pick up and there is something I have to tell you."
"What is it Mel?"
They were then interrupted by the sounds of giggling and running feet as Alex's face paled...this was not how she wanted people to find out about this but it was too late, Eugene and Violet had already swept through the door.
"MUMMY, MUMMY! YOU ARE NEVER GONNA BELIEVE THIS!" yelled Violet.
"WE GOT THE HIGEST MARKS IN OUR TESTS!" exclaimed Eugene.
"AND...AND...WE GOT SELECTED AS CAPTAIN OF OUR SPORTING TEAMS, ISN'T THAT GREAT MUMMY!" replied Violet.
Both kids jumped up and down with excitement not realizing that they had caught the attention of a very shocked CID.
"Sorry, Alex, Maria is sick and Alyssa got held up by the traffic on her way home from getting groceries and I was the only one available, I had no choice." Apologized Melody, realizing what she had just done and the implications that it would have on everyone especially on Gene and Alex.
"It's alright, isn't your fault, they were going to find out sooner or later" replied Alex
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE! CAN I PLEASE GET A BIT OF PEACE AND BASTARD QUITET!" yelled a familiar Manc voice as he stormed through the CID doors not looking in front of him as a he felt a bump against his leg and a small voice crying out in pain.
Everyone stared at the children and then at Alex in shock. Alex, deciding that it was now or never stood up in front of the team.
"Sweetheart come away from that man" said Alex.
Eugene did as he was told, getting up from the place where he had fallen down and looked up only to stare up into the cold blue eyes of Gene Hunt. Gene looked down and met the little boy's gaze and was struck at just how similar he looked to him when he was a child. Light blonde floppy hair, with a lock of gold covering his forehead, crystal blue eyes and a pout that was identical to his. The little boy knew right away who this man was and backed away from him and took his sister by the hand and placed her behind him where Alex was standing and stood in front of both mother and sister.
Gene stared up at Alex an Alex stared back at him before looking at the rest of the team who were equally speechless.
"Hunt, CID, these are my children. This is my son Eugene Andrew Drake and this is my daughter Violet Drake."
The whole team gasped in shock and Gene's eyes widened, but kept himself in check.
"Who is the man Alex?
"No man. They have no father, I raised them myself.
The team started to shake in fear as it slowly dawned on them what had happened between Alex and Gene before operation Rose. This was going to end badly. Gene continued to stare at Alex, the truth starting to dawn on him, and his eyes started to darken in anger and burning hatred while Alex started to tremble only to be calmed by her son who quickly grasped his hand in hers and squeezing it. A move that wasn't lost on Gene.
"How long Alex?" asked Gene
"Since I moved to the states, they will turn six this November on the10th.
This admission from Alex, got an even bigger gasp from everyone in the room, all were looking at each other in shock and in fear.
"But then..."trailed off Chris
"They were conceived before operation rose and before she left" replied Ray
"Which means that..." trailed off Perry and Green
"The Guv is their father" stated Shaz.
Dun dun dun! Sorry to leave it there. I am hoping to get another chapter up soon. This is the longest chapter that I had to write. I am hoping for more reviews though so please drop by and tell me what you think. I would love to get more opinions from more readers.
