talkingtotheskyWhen Supermac is forced to admit he was sleeping with the dead man's wife on the night of the murder, he says to defend himself against Gene's judgmental tone:
"You can't help who you fall in love with, Gene."
So this could be taken at face value, or he could be hinting at something else, reminding Gene not to judge him too quickly if he's not perfect himself. In context of A2A canon this obviously means Alex - I think Mac has almost certainly spotted there's something between them and spends the first half of the series using Alex to get at Gene, trashing her flat and suspending her when Gene won't forge the paperwork to put Hales down as a potential suicide etc.
But (and here come the slash goggles, lol. Stay with me, here.) what if it's not? Since I remember it's revealed at some point that Gene and Mac have at the very least known of each other since their training at Hendon, is it possible he observed Gene with Sam and spotted the same trend? Is there a fic in this at all, or am I just desperately reading in Sam/Gene references everywhere? :P Hopeless fangirl, sorry.
