*Sam hadn't been able to believe it when Dickie Fingers burst out with the name, the name of the mastermind behind all the robberies. It was absurd. But at the same time, thinking about it on his way from CID to his flat, Sam had to admit that in a twisted sort of way, it made sense. Harry Woolf. Halfway to his flat, Sam turned around and walked back. CID would be deserted now - perfect to conduct a private little investigation of his own. Sifting through old files would probably help, and matching up witness reports and police statements... Holed up in the Collator's Den, Sam looked through file after file, pulling out the ones connected to Mallone, and any other robbery that might have seemed fishy. Armed with those, he made his way back to his desk, setting the lot of them down, and getting himself a cup of tea. This might turn into a long night... ... several hours later, Sam closes the last file and leans back, his mind slightly reeling. It makes sense. It makes an awful lot of sense. Too much sense to ignore. Sam runs a hand over his face - if Gene finds out about this...* *mutters to himself* ... someone's gonna bleed for that... *stares off into space, lost in thought* |

Why, you got the national nosebleed forecast there or somethin'? *emerges from the shadows, a mug of tea in hand. He's been looking for Sam for a good fifteen minutes now. Makes sense he'd find him still working* It's past knocking off time! Don't you ever switch off? |

*nearly jumps out of his seat as Gene speaks up - speak of the devil...!* Ah... Yeah well, y'know. Mind keeps on ticking, doesn't it. *taps his own head, then tries to inconspicuously close the files he's been reading* What about you? Don't often see you 'round here this time of the evening. Aren't they missing you at the Arms? |

*Uh oh. Sam quickly closes the files.* *try it with a bit of the truth...* Something caught my attention about those robberies. Didn't seem quite right... *oh dear, not a good thing to start with... Sam trails off, not knowing how to go on. He looks up at Gene, who's looking at him with open curiousity. He has a right to know... And the evidence is right here, in the files... One tiny thing, someone probably overlooked it, but it's the key, to all of this...* You see... *Oh, but how does he break this to Gene...?* .... *trails off again, averting his gaze* |

*pauses at Gene's convoluted metaphor, barely able to keep himself from rolling his eyes. But this isn't good, now he's become suspicious... damnit Sam, you can do better than this!* *looks back up, his gaze steady this time* I followed up on a lead I was given earlier. One that could turn this entire case around. *glances at the files for a moment, then slowly stands up to be at eye level with Gene. Somehow, that makes him feel more confident.* Turns out, it actually did. *hesitates for a moment* But... I'm afraid you're not gonna like it. |

Would that I could... *finally, Sam takes a deep breath.* The thing with Mallone. Him organizing all the robberies, and breaking Dickie Fingers out of prison. You know it doesn't add up. He can't have organized that spot-on as it happened, he didn't have the information that we'd come for Fingers right that day. *Sam still can't bring himself to say it directly.* |

... *Sam's own lips twitch once, though his heart is beating so hard he thinks it's gonna pop out of his chest any moment now. Gene is laughing - is that a good sign, or a bad one...?* I, I've looked over some of the old cases. *No no, his voice can't be wavering now. Pull yourself together, Sam!* There's one of them, the witness statements just don't add up. It's a mess, frankly. *Is that a hysteric edge creeping into his voice? No no no Sam, keep talking...!* I know this, this is quite a turn-up, but really, it, it, it's the only way any of this could make sense. |

Samreally doesn't want Gene to find out the hard way. Better have a colleague tell him. Someone he... trusts, if that's the word.* Just, look at the evidence. It's.... it's all there. |

*Now is where it gets serious.* I know this sounds crazy at first, but when you think about it, it's the only theory that makes sense. If you'd just.... just look at the files, from older cases, the ones Woolf also worked on, and the so-called robberies... If you match that with the file I mentioned before, it all works out. It's the only possible explanation. *his heart beating in his throat, Sam swallows once more* Gene, I know this must be... this is hard for you, I know it is, but you've got to believe me. Belive the evidence. |

*pokes Sam in the chest very hard, voice low and angry* Sam, no. I dunno where these connections you're making are coming from, but you're wrong. You must be. *This is Gene's mentor Sam's accusing, here. His hero. The man he's looked up to for most of his copper life.

*wills himself not to take a step back, though the poke to his chest properly hurt* *shakes his head* I wish I was, I really wish I do. *without moving his gaze from Gene's eyes, Sam reaches out and grabs the top-most file, holding it up* This one is the most incriminating one. See for yourself if you don't believe me. *a little voice in the back of his mind is telling Sam that pressing the matter is getting more and more dangerous, but heck, he has to continue, doesn't he? Gene has to know...* |

*this time, Sam can't supress a slight flinch. But the fact that Gene is actually listening to him and looking through the files, that's got to be a good sign... ... or not. Sam reflexively reaches upwards to hold the files in place at his chest, his eyes nervously darting over Gene's face. However, he thinks he hears a bit of insecurity in his DCI's voice...* *presses on* If you take this into account, and then look at the other cases, you'll see other things linking together and clicking. And... *pauses for a moment* ... it all comes back to the day Dickie Fingers was taken, when we picked him up from the prison. Because honestly, Gene - no one apart from us knew we were going to do that. Just you, me, Annie, Chris, and Ray. ... and Woolf. |

No. I took care of the transfer files, and I dropped them in the proper box. Nobody but you, me, and Woolf saw them. And Chris couldn't have blabbed, I only informed him and Ray about it right before we drove there. Which leaves Annie, who accidentally learned about it the moment I told the other two. *feels a pang of relief that he's able to properly prove this theory wrong, but he's unsure as to what this is going to do to Gene* |

You can't keep your eyes closed to this. *He knows, he bloody well knows how hard it must be for Gene - he knows how he felt when he discovered what sort of person Glen was in his days as a DC, so if he takes that and multiplies that a few times, he's probably coming close to exactly how gutted Gene feels. Nonetheless, he has to see, has to understand, has to admit, because otherwise he'll never, ever get over it...* |

*Gene gives Sam one last hard glare, eyes brimming with fury and hurt. Sam's wrong. He has to be wrong. He'll just.... He needs time to think. Sam's not giving him time to think. There's an explanation for this. There is. There as to be. He just has to confront Woolf about it. Has to ask. In his own time. He just needs to get away from here. Get away from Sam and his insistances that Gene pay attention. Because his gut's aching in a way that he knows to listen to, and if he doesn't put some space between them, he's worried the anger's going to bubble over... So he spins on his heel and begins to walk away* |

*That does the trick. Sam jerks in Gene's grip, his eyes screwed shut for a moment before opening, but his mind is still so hazy... He can see Gene, and weren't they in a fight, and he's unable to defend himself and here comes the next punch-- Reflexively, Sam flinches back from Gene, trying to anticipate and evade the next punch, one arm raised slightly in a drowsy attempt of defense...* |

*The moment of confusion passes, and Sam realizes that the situation has changed now. He lowers his arm, blinking, and then raises his arm again with a wince - this time, however, to hold his head with a groan.* Bloody.... *his vision is still quite blurry, so he squints, trying to focus on Gene - which is easer said than done... But he does notice that Gene has backed up a fair bit.* .... Gene? *his voice still sounds rather strained* |

*as Gene stumbles off, Sam attempts to sit up, but slides back down with a groan as the world starts spinning. He's slowly regaining his senses, but with them also comes a pounding pain in the side of his head, and his abdomen is so tense it hurts. He only realizes Gene is back when the latter speaks up, and he manages to raises his head to look at him. Sam blinks, still attempting to clear his vision. It takes him a moment to comprehend Gene's question.* I.... ... ... no, don't think so.... *the pounding in his head is increasing, but in some corner of his mind Sam knows that if something was broken, the pain would have an entirely different, nausea-inducing quality. He's so distracted by the headache that he hasn't even noticed his bleeding nose yet.* |

*Finally, Sam's vision has mostly unblurred, and the ringing in his ears subsided, and first there is a bit of confusion - why would Gene hold out the cloth to him? - but then he notices the warm, slightly sticky moisture under his nose, and draws his conclusions.* *takes the cloth from Gene and holds it under his nose, raising his head so that the bleeding stops* ... Ta. *he tries to keep his eyes on Gene - his DCI is acting decidedly weird. They've had punch-ups before, and while none of them has ended as this one yet, Sam really wouldn't have thought that Gene would treat him like a glass figurine afterwards. He seems very shaken, and Sam just can't figure out why. There's the thing with Woolf, yes - but this is Gene "What Is Personal Space" Hunt we're talking about, and for Gene to keep his distance like that... He has to close his eyes for a moment as the pounding in his head increases. Christ, he'll be feeling that one for a few days... And there's probably going to be a sizeable bruise all over this half of his face... Sam grimaces at the prospect.* |

*continues to hang back, not wanting to get too close to Sam - They've had punch ups numerous times before.... But never has he pretty much knocked Sam out! He doesn't usually go that far - not with people he... Not with the people that mean that much to him.... He'd sworn he'd never be like... But he's gone and done it now, hasn't he. Sam's bleeding on the floor, having been knocked halfway unconscious, and it was all because of him.* *shakily holds out a box of paracetamol* You, uh... need...? |

*When he's satisfied that the bleeding has stopped, Sam lowers his head again, now able to properly look at Gene. His gaze flicks to the paracetamol, then back up to Gene's face, and he gingerly shakes his head, not wanting to upset it any further.* No, 's alright. Don't think I'm concussed... *trails off as he notices the slight trembling of Gene's hand, and he looks at Gene once more, clearly stunned. It's unbelievable, he should be angry with Gene, or scared, and yes, also shocked - but instead he finds himself a lot calmer than he thought, and Gene apparently going into a state of shock* ... Listen, I really don't appreciate you punching me into next week every time you think I'm wrong about something... but I'll be fine. *manages something like a smile, even though he doesn't quite mean it* I'm not made of glass, y'know. |

*after a few seconds, Sam opens his eyes again, looking at Gene, taking in just how agonized and lost he looks. He realizes now that he was pressing too hard; he should have understood the signs. Of course Gene Hunt would react this way - not because he thought Sam was wrong, but because he feared he was right. He should've seen it coming, really, this is as much his own fault as Gene's. As much as Sam detests how punch-happy Gene tends to get, he doesn't want his DCI to beat himself up over this - not when Sam himself could have averted this by simply keeping his mouth shut at the right time.* ... Look, Guv, I'll be alright, really. *pauses, trying to find the right words* I still think you should attend an anger-management course, but... *chews on his lip for a moment* ... I went to far, didn't I. Should've just left you alone. |

But that's the same mantra his father used. It was always somebody else's fault. At Sam's assurances, he finally meets Sam's eyes again, speaking quietly* M'sorry. |

*Whatever else Sam might have wanted to say, the words were wiped from his mind when Gene apologized. Actually apologized. His eyes widen, and for several seconds, there's silence between them. Sam genuinly doesn't know what to say. As the silence stretches, however, he thinks that it's not right that Gene should bear all the guilt on this. He lowers his gaze.* ... me too. I should've... should've realized, should've known how it'd affect you. ... but.. *here he looks up again, concern written all over his face eve as his voice becomes low and urgent as he leans forwards a bit, somewhat closing the distance between them* ... please don't run away from this. Don't turn a blind eye. *he hopes that Gene will understand what he's talking about....* That's all I'll say. I'll be quiet now. *leans back again, suddenly feeling tired. And God, his head is pounding like a set of kongo drums...* |

*looks down again, thinking. He knows he's going to have to ask woolf about it... But not right now. Right now... He needs a drink. More than one. Five. Ten. As many as it takes. He watches as Sam leans back, that tired expression on his face, and a wave of shame rolls over him again. He wants to touch Sam's face - tilt his head up and inspect his bruises - tell him that he'll catch whoever hurt him, and...! Gene sighs and looks away again, his hand twitching with the restraint.* You can... Get up and everything, yeah? |

*his eyes still on Gene, Sam notices the slight twitch of his hand, and for a moment thinks it's because he wants to coil it into a fist. But no, that doesn't make any sense, not at the moment. How odd.* Yeah. *he feels slightly nauseaus, but that's to be expected from a hit to the head like this... And still, strangely, Sam isn't mad at Gene, at least not as much as he technically should be. And as he keeps watching Gene, who looks like shame and guilt personified, he decides he has to do something about it, make him understand that what he did isn't the end of the world. And apparently words can only do so much...* ... could use a bit of help, though. *extends his hand to Gene, as a request to help him up* |

*Rocks backwards slightly as Sam extends his hand, as though scared to touch him again. But, Sam needs a hand... So... Cautiously, Gene reaches his hand out, faltering before clasping his around Sam's, pulling upwards as he stands.* *nervously* I uh...

*Oh Christ. Gene is more bothered by this than Sam would have thought. He lets himself be pulled up, steadying himself against a desk with his free hand, and sways slightly as Gene lets go of him again, reflexively holding his head. He really shouldn't be standing already, he realizes, but if he lets Gene see that, it'll be even worse for the man. His attention snaps back to Gene as he speaks and moves backwards, and for a moment, the image of his DCI drinking himself to oblivion flashes in his mind. Without even thinking, Sam reaches out to take hold of Gene's arm, both to hold him back and to steady himself - but then he stops short mere inches from Gene, and drops his hand again. Better not.* ... wait. Please. |

*halts on Sam's command, stopping in his tracks. Does Sam want to discuss this? Is that why he's stopping him? Because the last thing Gene wants to do is talk about this. The shame's a tugging, pulling sensation in his chest, and he needs to stop it somehow... He notices Sam reaching out, and then his failure to carry through the motion. Sam doesn't want to touch him right now, Gene can understand it. He deserves it. * *tiredly* What? |

*is at a loss of words for a moment, simply looking at Gene, searching his tired eyes for... something. Has't he understood at all what Sam was trying to say? If he did, he's showing no reaction whatsoever... and Sam has to make sure that Gene knows... After a few moments, he sighs and gingerly runs his hand through his hair. He still doesn't know how to phrase this, so he goes for the most direct, and hopefully best approach.* ... I forgive you. Alright? *God, hopefully this isn't coming across as awkwardly as he thinks it is.* What happened was my fault as much as yours. Just... don't go and do anything you'll regret later. We've both had our fair share of that tonight. *that was an attempt at humour, but Sam's afraid it remained just that - an attempt, and a failed one too* ... I'll see you tomorrow morning. Guv. |

*Sam's words help a little - knowing Sam isn't holding a grudge, at least. It's a small comfort. But Woolf, and now this... He's going to need some time to evaluate things. He nods at Sam, acknowledging his sentiments, then turns and retreats quickly down the corridor. He doesn't stop until he's safe inside the Cortina, the door slamming beside him, sealing him into the car like a cocoon. An existential crisis isn't what he needs right now... But finding out your hero could very well be a crook in precisely the same moment as finding out you could be a lot more like your bastard father than you'd ever wanted... It's just too much. He sits for a few minutes, head bowed to the steering wheel, before pulling himself together and driving home for an evening of frightening self contemplation and bottomless drinking. The next morning, Gene arrives at work a few minutes late, looking like he hasn't slept a wink. He's going to have to face Woolf today. And Sam. And his tongue still tastes of last night's booze. Gene takes a deep breath, heading through CiD and into his office, not looking around the room at all* |

*Sam remains where he is after Gene leaves the office, staring off into space. This encounter made him realize how little he actually knows about his DCI. For one, he wouldn't have thought that something like this would bother him this much. After a few moments, Sam needs to sit down. He barely makes it over to his desk and sinks down in his chair, cradling his head. Bloody hell, it hurts. He wants to go home, get some kip, but blimey, right now he can't even get up from his desk. Maybe he's concussed after all.... He groans into the emptiness of CID, then closes his eyes. Just for a moment, just till the headache subsides... He needs to go to his flat after all, get some ice for the bruises... but Christ, he's so worn out all of a sudden... .... it's the banging of the door that wakes Sam up, and he doesn't even notice Gene brushing past him, because at that moment he's 100% disorientated, and his head is still pounding away. In fact, it seems to be even worse than before he fell asleep, but at least the vertigo seems to have subsided, and he doesn't feel sick. But other than that, his mind is a jumbled mess of thoughts and memories. Sam lets out a groan, burying his head in his arms, and then wincing as he brushes the bruises on the side of his face.* Oh Jesus Christ... |

*sits down at his desk and pours himself a good strong measure of his old favourite, hair of the dog. Maybe not the most ethical of ways to start the morning, but it's the one he's chosen. The next few hours are taken up with going over and over the files he has on his mentor - his faith in the man slowly being whittled away and away until he arrives at the realisation that... Sam was right. Christ. He really did beat Sam black and blue over a mistake... Because of his own denial. Shit. So all that's left is to tell Sam. Because he's the only one Gene trusts to help him handle this. If he can just manage to look Sam in the eye.... * *opens his office door and calls Sam, not looking directly at him, before retreating back into his office* |

*While Gene is in his office, mulling over the files, Sam picks himself up from the desk and staggers out of the office, to the bogs. He needs a good splash of cold water, and then he'll go round the canteen, ask whether they've got a bag of ice... It seems like Gene didn't notice him at all, which is just as well. Sam doesn't want him to see him in a state like that. When he sees himself in the mirror, Sam draws in a sharp breath. Bloody hell, that looks... bad. The entire right side of his face is all black and blue and some other colours inbetween, and now he understands why he hasn't been able to open his right eye. He mutteres Christ as he bends forward, carefully inspecting the damage. To be honest, it doesn't feel too bad. He's acutely aware of the fact that he should not have gone to sleep after receiving such a bashing, but he just hadn't been able to help himself. Gingerly splashing water all over his face, Sam notes with some satisfaction that at least he isn't keeling over when he leans forward. That's a good sign, a very good one (he hopes). And his mood improves a little as he manages to indeed get some ice cubes from Gwen, who pales a bit when she sees him. When Gene calls for him, Sam is already back at his desk, having dodged questions from Chris and Annie about what happened to his face ("Yes, I did run into a wall. Seriously!"), and now trying to concentrate on files regarding their current case, but a creeping headache is making that difficult. As Sam gets up from his desk, he doesn't even see Gene - the man's already gone back into his office. He's unsure as to what to expect... Is this about Woolf? Sam makes his way over to the office, carefully closing the door behind him, because he's still awfully sensitive to loud noises.* You called, Guv? |

*as Gene's eyes widen, Sam feels a pang of... something in his chest. Gene looking at him like that - that definitely isn't nice. He unconsciously raises a hand to the side of his face, but then drops it quickly. Kip and shower, that does sound nice. Proper sleep, in a... well, somewhat proper bed. Sam could still slap himself for falling asleep in CID, but that wouldn't be a good idea at the moment, so he merely nods.* Alright. You wanted a word, though? *he's not gonna let that go, not when he's already here now.* |

*here, Sam nods.* It's the only explanation. *there's no malice in his voice, no condescendence. Even though his head keeps reminding him with every painful pulse that Gene had sooner beaten him up than properly listened to him, right now that isn't what matters. What matters is that they put an end to Woolf's schemes.* We can't confront him over that yet, though. Not with really hard evidence in our hands... *much as it pains him, those discrepancies in the reports and statements probably won't be enough for Woolf to relent. He could always blame the officers in charge... and of course he could claim one of their own team blabbed about the release of Dickie Fingers.* |

... *Sam is at a loss of words. He really hasn't expected Gene to still be like... this. He is so obviously bothered, so crushed over what had happened, and suddenly Sam realizes that he was being cruel. He could have gone home, get himself properly bandaged... but no, he had remained here, not even really looking after himself, and forced Gene to keep looking. It hurts, that thought. Sam averts his gaze, turning is head slightly, obscuring the bruised side. As he speaks, he deliberately keeps his tone neutral and factual.* I will. Soon as this is cleared up.

*nods, somewhat stiffly so as not to upset his head all too much* Sounds like a plan. *hesitates* Do you... do you need a hand? |

*eyes Sam up and down, guiltily. Sam looks like crap. He needs to get his face seen to, and his movements don't seem as smooth as they usually do. He can hardly ask him to help break into a senior officer's office and rummage through his things in this state... ... But then, Gene's feeling a large amount of dread at the thought of doing that anyway, never mind completely alone...* You really offering? Even after.... *stops short, not wanting to bring his beating up again* |

*Sam's fingers twitch ever so slightly when Gene brings up the beating again - nearly, anyway. This is growing more awkward and therefore irritating. He turns his head back to look Gene right in the eye, his jaw set.* Yeah. I don't usually say things I don't mean. |

*hesitates at Sam's short tone, then tries to pull himself together* Uh. Right. Guess we'd better head over there, then.... *straightens his tie and walks past Sam, towards the doors* |

*falls into pace with Gene, walking down the hallway by his side* *without looking at Gene and in a low voice, as though afraid that someone will overhear their conversation* ...Hang on, where's Woolf? We'll have to make sure he doesn't barge in on us while... while we go through his stuff. *even saying it rings weird to Sam's ears. Searching through a superior officer's personal things... They shouldn't have to do that... Sam grinds his teeth. The sooner they're done with it, the better* Edited by Sam Tyler, Jun 22 2013, 06:22 PM.

Last I heard, he was out on a meeting. Shouldn't be back 'til twelve, but that don't give us long. We'll have to keep our eyes peeled, that's all... *averts his eyes* After all this, we'd better find something... |

Right. Should be enough, if we know what we're looking for. *glances at Gene for a moment* Man like him... Probably kept the money safe, and close. For emergencies and the likes. *as they reach Woolf's office, Sam turns to see if they're alone - and indeed, there's no one around. Now or never...* Ready? |

*takes a deep breath and does another quick scan left and right - the coast's clear.* No. *opens the door and walks straight in - try to look innocent and you'll end up looking guilty* |

*Of course he couldn't be ready. For a moment, Sam curses himself for even asking. But then they're inside already, and he starts to scan the room for possible hiding places. But truth be told, he has no idea where to start looking - he barely knows Woolf at all, and a man like him probably wouldn't leave anything incriminating lying around in some drawer. He glances at Gene - if anyone knows where to start looking, it's him.* |

*Gene takes Sam's glance to mean he's waiting for Gene to make the first move, so he steps forward and begins scanning the room for anything out of place. He doesn't know where to start - Harry wouldn't leave things just lying around, he's too smart for that - but then again Gene thought he was too smart to even get tangled up in anything like this in the first place... But he has to start somewhere... So he may as well check the bin. Leaning over it, he starts rummaging through the discarded papers, grunting at Sam over his shoulder* Keep your eyes peeled. Dunno when he's comin' back. |

*But Sam has already turned and is peering out of the shutters of the office - the same thought had occured to him. If Gene does the searching, it's Sam's job to make sure they're not disturbed by Woolf, or anyone else.* There's a possibility that he keeps money close at all times, in case he gets found out. Where would he stash money, what d'you reckon? *even if he isn't looking for it himself, he hopes he can help Gene along, somehow...* |

*Hmm, so something Harry keeps with him wherever his base is.... Gene scans the room again, taking note of all the objects around - whether they've been with Woolf for a long time, and whether they have a hollow space where things could be kept. It feels so WRONG to be searching his mentor's office like this, but... what else can he do? He takes the lid off a nearby trophy and peers inside, flicks through a couple of books that could be hollowed out... And then his gaze fixes on an old familiar picture frame. Something rings a bell...* *murmurs* ... Huh. ....... Harry always said Malcolm Allison could get away with anything... *fumbles with the back of the frame until it falls apart on the desk, a small book flopping out at the same time. Gene frowns at it* Shit. |

*turns around as he hears the book hits the floor* ... *Well. Sam moved to pick up the book and leafed through it quickly* Lancashire Building Society. Deposit account. In the name of Mr Harcourt... Woolf. *pulls a little sheet of paper out of the pocket of his jacket - a list with the dates of all robberies he'd thought related to their current case* ...Deposits made a few days after each robbery. |

*Gene's heart sinks slowly - Sam was right. He was bloody right, wasn't he. Christ. How long has this been going on for...? He grits his teeth and stares down at the desk for a moment, before turning to the next photo frame. This one he doesn't bother to take apart, he just smashes the front. Cash falls out through the broken glass, and Gene catches it with one hand. Mouth set, Gene hands it over to Sam* ...... Guilty, isn't he. |

*slowly takes the money and looks at it for a second before raising his eyes up to Gene's. He nods once.* Yeah. *he feels a pang of something... and it takes him a moment to realize that it's actually anger. If Gene had believed him from the start... or rather, if he hadn't gone into denial.... Another pang, and Sam tries to dismiss it. No use in carrying a grudge now, though Gene really could have kept a cool head...* That... that should be enough evidence. *whoa, when did it become hard to talk? Sam shakes his head to clear it, and it helps... some.* Let's get out of 'ere. |

*Gene looks up as Sam's words drag slightly, concern spiking within him. He studies Sam hard, taking in the bruises and the bags under his eyes.... He feels like he should apologise, but.... now's not the time.* Yeah..... *reluctantly* ....... You okay? |
