As Chris answered the phone, she turned to an incredulous looking Alice.
“Chris?! Excuse me ‘Flick’ but what the bloody ***** going on here?!” Alice demanded, redressing.
“Alice, wait…please, let me explain” Chris pleaded, putting a few of her clothes on too.
“Explain why you lied to me about your name? about what you do for a living?” Alice spat back at her, feeling pretty hungover and more than a bit worried that she was in way over her head.
“I’m a police officer Alice…an undercover police officer”

“You’re a cop? a ***** cop? you lie to people for a living?” Alice asked, sitting down, fully dressed, determind to get to the bottom of this mysterious redhead that she’d fallen in with.
“Yes, I’m a Constable in the Melbourne Special Investigations Unit, and I’m not lying about my name, it really was Flick Matthews, but then I got in a bit of trouble with the cops, in my young and wild days, changed my name and identity and joined the police force” Chris replied, unable to look Alice in the eye.
“Have you ever been shot?” Alice asked, her anger abandoned in a short sense of curiousity. She’d never met a real undercover police officer before. Well, she corrected herself, she didn’t think she had!
“Once, in the back of the head” Chris said, looking up. “You’re not as angry as I thought you’d be”
“Oh I’m plenty angry, what was that phone call about and who the ***** is Leo?!” Alice replied, her voice getting more annoyed.
“The phone call was my summons back to Melbourne, they need me back, one of my co-workers, Angie has the flu and they need me for a drug bust to discover where a couple of guys are hiding a ***** load of heroin, and Leo is another member of my team”

“Okay, this is my flight….Alice….bye” Chris said, giving her a quick hug. Alice smiled, hugging her back.
“Have a good flight, and take care in Melbourne, next time your over here, preferably not on buisness, come and see me, okay?” Alice asked, eyebrows raised.
“Of course, you take care, and make sure you answer the right phone next time…” Chris laughed, turning and walking towards customs.
Both Shane and Caremn, who’d come with Alice and Chris to drop Chris off laughed as Alice turned an impressive shade of magenta. All three of them watched as Chris became a dot in the distance, and then was lost from sight. Alice, to her surprise found herself feeling rather teary. But then a song came over the PA system, saying it was from Chris, to Alice. And it just seemed to fit.

If I could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the world behind
And make believe there’s something left to find

We’ll be miles apart
I’ll keep you deep inside
You’re always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you’re always in my heart

Now we’ve all grown up, gone on and moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard (life was not this hard)
Looking back it all just seems so far, so far away

We’ll be miles apart
I’ll keep you deep inside
You’re always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you’re always in my heart

I’d give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I’d give it up for just one more day with you

I’d give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I’d give it up for just one more day with you

I’d give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I’d give it up for just one more day with you

We’ll be miles apart
I’ll keep you deep inside
You’re always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you’re always in my heart

I need you now, we’re miles apart
I’ll keep you deep inside
You’re always in my heart
I need you now, we’re miles apart
I may be leaving but you’re always in my heart

As Chris strolled into the undercover part of Police HQ, she was met by a very interested looking Leo.
“Enjoy LA did we?” Leo asked, eyebrows raised.
“Of course…”
“Good *****?”
“Great *****”
