Why this must be read: Gene Hunt vs. the Test Card Girl. It’s as amusing as it sounds. And Gene’s solution for how to deal with her is genius. *g*

In the morning Sam's mood had improved--the sleep had done him good, and he'd evidently forgotten the "nightmare"--but Gene's had hardened considerably. Last night had been like something out of a horror movie, and Gene was not a fan of the genre. Someone always ended up dead in a pool of blood over something stupid, something easily prevented. It was too much like police work.

He preferred westerns, where the bad guys and the good guys were easy to tell apart. The good guys won, and the bad guys were locked up. It was that simple.

He was also taking it as a personal affront that Sam had things in his subconscious which he considered to be scarier than Gene Hunt. In Tyler-speak, that was a situation that needed to be rectified.

He gave it some thought.
