life on mars (d1) gene hunt

(no subject)

[there's a certain trend one might notice among CID members. you see, whenever someone from CID is upset, you can generally find them at the bar. (unless it's that mouthy plonk Annie, because she a) never gets sad and b) 's a bird and therefore goes all weepy and shit instead of being a manly man and hiding her grief in booze) AT ANY RATE, one might notice that Gene just happens to be at the bar. he's shooting back whiskies without much care, a growing pile at his right, but if you come near him he'll adamantly deny anything's wrong.

after all, Diva all ready had a breakdown over Sam. he's not about to be a bloody div and do it, too. pffft, that's just silly.

so anyway, Gene's at the bar, which is his second home anyway. approach him if you want]

When isn't he unhappy, luv?

That's not what I mean. Was he unhappy to be taking care of me?

[to tell her that Sam was stressed or not?] He couldn't do what he needed to do when he was watching you, Diva. You're a bit of a handful and the sodding ponce wasn't about to give up on you.

You would say that either way, Gene. Was he unhappy, or not?

You tell me, Diva.

I can't. Sam hardly ever told me anything about himself, or what he was thinking, or anything.

{She's about to cry again, but she tries harder to hold it back}

Just tell me the truth, Gene. If that Sam would be happier without me, then...Then I won't bother him again.

I can't tell you that because I don't know.

Then why bring it up!?

You asked if he was happy you dumb broad.

{tearing up}

I just want to know what I should do!

[ohgod not tears] Do whatever you think you should do. It's what you did before.

Is that what I should do? {because already, it's already a bad idea}

[facepalm] Why can't you just live for yourself for once?

I never have.

Then learn.

{blank stare}

[for the love of]

{She bows her head slightly}

Well, thank you Gene, but I don't think this conversation is really going anywhere. I should go back home and clean up my mess.

They never do with you. [sighs, rubbing his face] And if another body surfaces? I won't go easy on you if I find out, Diva.

{Just smiles}

I'd never think of Gene going easy on me to begin with.

{And she drops off the Plane}

[just stares where she was a minute, then swears and drops as well. looks like he's gonna have to be checking out for more murders]
