Silence on Dead Mans Hill [Closed]

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"I will go that is in no doubt. She can but i do want you to come."He said earnestly sitting back on his seat leaving the coffee on the table not having a taste of it. He sighed a little abit of sadness coming through."It is only fair you see were i come from after what you have shown me... This may be the last time you and my mother to meet as well."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex looked at him.


"Sure love anything for you. You need to get back to work and I will go home and pack. You will go talk to that jackass you call a boss and ask him for the days off." She said.


"Also fill up the car and will be on our way when you get done with work." She said and smiled at him. She kissed his cheek.


"I am here if you need to talk." She said to him.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"Alright, the way i am feeling regarding the jackass i am sure going to see him will lead to days off... Working days though would be scarce though."He said forcing a smile."Not sure i care by right now if i lose my job..."He stopped from moving away after she kissed him and kissed her back."Why dont we just leave now... Just go..."He muttered before shaking his head."Ah dont listen to me, i owe Kaylee (old pensioner) a jailed murderer..."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Hun you need the job and oh good another female you never told me about." Alex said. She sighed.


"or I could go in there slap him, tell him to give you the time off."She said to him. She stood and held her hand out to him.


"Let's go hun." She said. She walked him back towards the precinct. Alex wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him.


"I love you and you get off the minute you can. Will leave,don't worry I got everything for you clothes and shoes." She said and kissed him on the lips gently. She ran her hands through his hair.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"You know this female, she the murdered old pensioner we are investigating."He explained before smirking at the slap comment."Once we get back we can take turns tearing him a new one. I can play dumb until then pretend i believe him crap about firing you though not without an obligatory fight. " He walked with her to the precinct and cupped her wrapped his hands around her lower back. "I love you too and no one else the same way or as much. Dont doubt it." He returned the kiss."I will call you when i am off ok."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex smirked at him, she loved when he agreed with her.


"Glad you agree. Yeah sure when we get back will talk to him and make sure he pays." She said. She sighed walking with him. She kissed him and sighed.


"Yeah just let me know babe. I will drive,you can sleep. I don't think sleep is such a good idea for me." She said.


"Also I don't doubt it babe." She said.


"yeah call me any time." She kissed him again and let him go. Alex went to there old apartment and packed him a bag and packed her bag. She took her time packing and showering. She sat on the couch and waited on his call. She had thought of everything and packed the car. Her feet were up on the table and she was half asleep.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

He nooded and walked inside and despite wanting to avoid the chief as much as possible, however he knew it was best if he did straight away. He put on an angry face, not all that difficult to do considering the circumstances , and marched into his chief office unannounced. The chief was on the phone to an official. Good, Christian thought raising his voice higher then he planned.


"You fired Alex?! You take pains to hire me permanently and keep the two of us in the precinct then you go fire her?! "


"Hang on..."The chief said to the reciever and replaced it on it docket before turning to Christian angrily." I didn't need her, i needed you. And if she didnt have you around her little finger you would know she just mentally unready for this role. Not to mention she is unruly and respectful, her criminal record is not an image we want or need in these precinct not after the Darrel case."


"Oh come off, you are talking about half the people here!" He replied furious, he expected the chief to lie but didnt make him any less angry. "She in the last couple of cases."


"Two basic domestic murder cases, hardly an accomplishment."The chief said seemingly angry himself. "Look i understand you trying to defend your girlfriend but you have no say in this. Its done, if she get a go ahead at get a clean bill from a professional i will consider rehiring her. Until then you can grin and bare out or you can join her in unemployment and homelessness..."


Time to relent, Christian thought letting out a sigh.


"Fine... You will get you clean bill of health." He said acting as if beaten."One another matter, i am taking the five days of untitled to me on a personal matter."


"You what... But you have... Whatever, just put in a full day today dont think i dont see you get of work early the last few days."


"Thank you sir. I will."Christian said before walking out and reached for his phone texting Alex what happened before working. The time seemed to go by slowly as he constantly kept looking at his watch as he worked until he until it was time to leave.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex read his text and groaned. She hated the chief even more now. The urge to go in and slap him was overwhelming. She however stayed in the apartment and just waited for his call to say he was off. When it finally came she was asleep on the couch. She picked up the phone.


"Hello?" She asked. Alex heard his tired voice and sighed. She felt bad for him.


"On my way love."She said. Alex got up and grabbed the keys having loaded the car earlier and putting gas in it. All she needed was her purse. She grabbed it and made her way to the car. Alex drove to pick him up. She had a watered down Gatorade in hand for him.


"Here babe drink this. How was your day besides the jerk off."She asked Christian. She kissed him gently as he got in the car. She wanted to make him feel better.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"Don't ask, never was so untrusted in working or pissed off in my life." He said before taking the bottle offered and took a sip. It tasted horrid but he had enough to complaining and just continued drinking it." Worked with this guy for nearly a year, cant believe I didn't see he was such a.... You know what forget it not the purpose of this trip. Anything you want to know?"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Not right now you need sleep babe. I already got us a hotel for when we get there,but here is a pillow and blanket." She said grabbing them from the back with one hand while she drove. When she handed the blanket to him. She placed her hand in his.


"Will get through this love." She said. She winked at him and kept driving. She knew that he would eventually fall asleep. It was going to be a long drive,but she didn't really want to sleep. Her night terrors sucked. She was happy she didn't get waking dreams anymore.


DeathToAllBetrayers

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"I am fine, love. I had a coffee around three four hours ago, i should be fine." He said living the blankets and pillow on his lap, genuinely not feeling that tired. However soon enough though after two hours driving he began nodding off not really using the blankets and pillow provided. His mind went to his mother, some old memories and what would potentially happened worse case scenario. Eventually he was woken by the movement of the car. (i figure this is too much of unopportune moment that there might be a waking nightmare. No?)

 

[Dark_Psycho]

(Wouldn't work while she was driving.)


Alex smirked as he fell asleep. She drove through the night. She finally parked at there hotel and stretched yawning. She looked over as Christian woke.


"Your up love good. Were here, we can check in and go see your mom. Or I can go grab some sleep." She said. She stretched gently and got out of the car. She stretched and yawned. Alex's legs hurt and so did her back. She waited for Christian to get out of the car.


DeathToAllBetrayers

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"Good to be home." He said half heartedly before stepping out the car. He yawned and stretched out abit before replying."I want to go see my mom first, if you want you can stay behind and come in later. Its not far walking distance wise. The second right and 6th house on the right side. Up to you."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

She yawned."I will go with you." She said. She stretched and grabbed her purse. She sighed and went to check in. She got there keys and walked back out."alright let's go see your mom." She said. She walked with her hand in his. They walked for his mother's house. "Babe how you holding up?" She asked looking at him as they walked.


DeathToAllBetrayers

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

He exhaled. "I am fine, trying not to let mind wonder on what I am going to see. My mind is getting the better of me. Just want to see what is happening." He said." My mother is soft spoken but a tough one and fit for her age. Dressing young as it were. To see her as anything else..."


He trailed off as they approached the house and rang the bell. Christian barely recognize the person opening the door. His mother was hutched over and was stick like thin and looked tired and worn."Hey... Mom." Was all he managed to say.


"You came sooner then I expected."She said with a sigh, clearly not too happy with her here. " I hope you didn't drop any important cases just for me."


"My mother is sick, people understand if that is your priority." He retorted before indicating to Alex."Before we get into that, this is Alex my girlfriend. Alex, my mother."


She looked at Alex for a moment then nodded a greeting and reached her hand to shake. She showed no signs of approval or otherwise.


"A pleasure. Come on in."She said waving them inside.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex sighed and looked at him. She wanted to say something when he went to the door she saw a woman answer it. She gave her no sign of approval or dislike. She shook her hand.


"Nice to meet you." She said. She walked in with Christian. She looked around at his place. This was where he grew up. Alex stayed quiet and looked at Christian. Man she hated meeting parents especially Ill ones. She says horrible inappropriate things and well they come out harsh and mean. She tried to stay silent she was just there to be there for Christian. She lived him and she suck it up for him. She however did like to see where he grew up. She wanted to get his mother's approval,but how did you do that with a dying woman.


DeathToAllBetrayers

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

For a moment things felt awkward after the limited interaction between the two women.


"Please, take a seat."His mother was the first to speak before beginning to cough on a handkerchief. She cleared her throat before forcing a smile."I suppose i should start my mother duty and start embarrassing my son with baby pictures. I am sure that why you are here, Alex. Same time i can start my approval checklist. Now... Were did i leave those album..." She went on to a nearby bookcase.


"Mom, we need to talk about your..." Christian decided to interject.


"There is nothing to discuss, treatments are unlikely to work and i still have a couple of months of fairly comfortable living. Rather spend them doing my thing rather then spend it uselessly in bed with a tube in my arms.... Uh... There it is."She said casually grabbing a file from the cupboard and approaching Alex. "I am sorry, i am being a poor host. Do you wants drink or something to eat?"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex sighed. Great his sick mother crazy. Thank you universe. She yelled in her head at the sky.


"What no god no don't get up, I don't need to see the album's. I am good you need to be resting Mrs.Carmine." Alex said.Alex looked at Christian she knew he was worried about his mother. When the woman started talking Alex bit her lip. She was holding back a retort. When the woman said she was being a poor host.Alex shook her head.


"No thank you, please sit,I am fine all is good."Alex said worried about this woman. She reminded her if her own mother.


"I am just going to use the restroom. Which door and all you need to do is point."Alex said Gently


DeathToAllBetrayers

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"Oh... Ok. Second door two the right." She said."Please dont be afraid if you want something, i can get it while you gone or have Cristian get. Bo reason he cant help out."


"Mum, if she wanted something she would have asked." He interjected.


"Oh fine, fine..."She said sitting down on the couch and going to a quick coughing fit. She waited until Alex went to the restroom before speaking again." She seems nice, though looks too... Eh... Street for your taste. Totally different from Jill."


"Jill and i never dated, she was just my partner remember."He said rolling his eyes. She had always wanted the two of them to get together or though the already were. "I admit alex is a little rough around the edges but she is kind sweet once you give her a chance. I do care for her."


"Do bring you her here now, you must do. This does say a lot."She said with a weak smile." Look you are big boy and no fool. You dont need anything from me if you plan to go further. I am happy for you."


"Thanks."He said smiling back before turning serious."Now back to you, when did you find out. "


She frowned. "A couple of weeks a go, first time i saw blood after my cough. Went to Dr Chen and he gave me scan."


"Why didnt you tell me?"


"You had more important things to worry about. Big investigator and a new relationship apparently both going well i hear. You didnt need more things to worry about."She replied shrugging."Not that you could have done anything."


"But you could..."


"Like i said, Dr Chen, gave me low chances... Look, son, i know what you thinking, i am not in denial i had my low point and i accepted it. Its fine."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex nodded thank you to her and went to go.


"I am good thank you Miss." She said. Alex went to the bathroom and closed the door. She listened to the conversation outside the door.


"To street?" Alex mouthed. What in the hell she actually didn't wear her normal get up. Because she didn't want the woman to think she was a ex convict. Alex curled her fists up when she heard Jill's name. She wanted to punch something. She calmed down a bit hearing he never dated the woman. Good she would of jousted her. She listened to the conversation,she mouthed again."Rough around the edges." She frowned. Yeah she kinda was. Alex looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was bleached at the ends she had dark make up and she was a skinny girl who packed a punch. She listened till they started talking about his mother. She actually used the restroom and washed her hands. A bit after. Her mind kinda lost as she washed her hands. She finally turned the water off and stepped out.


"Mrs.Carmine very nice to meet you,but I am feeling slightly sick. So I am just going to head to our hotel and rest. I will be back tomorrow." Alex said.


"See you back at the hotel doll." She said and sighed. She went to the door and stopped seeing a woman walking up.


"Umm Christian?" She asked. She looked at this woman. She was guessing was Jill.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"However, what if the treatment does work, you can add years to your life and possibly see..."He went to say before Alex stepped out and announced she was leaving. He nodded at her." Ok, love, call me if you need anything." He said before turning his attention back to his mother.


"Doll, son?"His mother asked him with a smirk.


"Like you didnt get nicknames at your day."he retorted chuckling before hearing Alex."Whats up, love?"He stood up and walked to the door and saw Jill."Hey, Jill."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Hi I am Alexandria the girl from the phone."


She said to Jill. She held out her hand.


"Nice to meet you." Jill said. They shook hands.


"Hey Christian." She smiled flirty at him. Alex turned to Christian.


"Alright Love I am going. Love you" She said. she kissed him on the lips and walked passed Jill with a nod. Jill looked after her.


"How are you? so is that why you stayed. She looks to convict for you." Jill says. She watched Alex walk away. Jill turned back to him.


"So how is it going over there?" She asked him and walked inside closing the door. Alex walked to the hotel and went to shower and sleep in one of his big shirts. She plugged in her phone and fell asleep.


~Dream~


The door opened, Alex rolled over looking at the time."Hey babe how was your mother's and Jill?" She asked. She got no reply and thought it odd."Babe?" She asked and got up. The door was open,but Christian wasn't there. She shook her head and closed the door thinking it odd. She turned with a start seeing Lake. She started to move he grabbed her and she screamed. "Found you, just got out on parole." He smirked.


Alex woke and looked around. Her eye's busted up in tears. Christian wasn't here and she was miles away from where Lake was locked up.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

Christian shook his head after Alex kissed him sensing the reason behind it. He couldn't say he didn't understand the jealousy not being able say he won't be the same if the situation was reversed. However he still felt a slight disappointment he hasn't proven his commitment to her. He made a note to pick up something nice for her on the way back some flowers or something.


"Bye love."He said to Alex before turning to Jill. "Same old me and same old mother despite everything. And Yeah, surprised myself but hey its working for me. Before you ask, yes she is no longer a criminal in fact she assist in investigation and is great help."


"Ok, easy big man, i was just teasing."She replied chuckling.


The three of them talked for a few hours, updating each other of what has been happening. Christian left out the part of Alex and the chief though he did ask for advice on ut using a made up situation. Soon though Christian was on his way to the hotel, stopping for some flowers and some food for them go to eat. He stepped in to their room quietly expecting her to still be asleep.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alex sighed and wiped her eye's. She sat on the bed and turned on the tv to drown out the bad dream. Her eye's were drying as Christian walked in. Alex looked up and turned the TV down. She bit her lower lip. She knew she had acted jealously with Jill earlier. She wanted to apologize,she felt bad. Alex didn't mean to, she knew she loved him and he loved her. He proved it over and over and she still had a jealous side to her. Well any girl did,but she tried not to be.


"Hey Love your back. How was it?" She asked and yawned. She was still tired she turned the Tv off and looked over. She got out of bed and sighed. She walked over seeing he had flowers. She smiled at him.


"Hun you didn't need to I need to apologize I was slightly jealous." She said. She walked over and kissed him.


"I am sorry can you forgive me?" She asked him. Alex wiped her eye's to try not to worry him. She was glad he wasn't here to see her wake from her night terrors.


"I love you." She said hoping he wasn't mad at her.

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

"Its fine love and I love you too." He said approaching and giving her a passionate kiss. He handed her the flowers and sat next to her. " It's fine, I don't like that my mother is doing nothing for her illness but in the end it's up to her. Just have to enjoy what time she have left, I guess. However lets not worry about that, I have selection of junk food and Alcohol. Just want spend the night in. How does that sound?"
