I don't own OG characters, I thank Tony Grounds for creating them.

Just when I was settling into a new project I'm doing this popped up! OG is like some drug you can't get away from! Even when you watch EE you look at Stacey and think...oh Molly!
Again this is dark...as you will read, but I will try to not make it too distressful to read.
The story begins 3 months after the very ebd of Molly's choice...

The rain was lashing down on the windscreen. It was running like rapid rivers and the wipers were working over time to clear the torrant.
Molly Dawes had her two years old daughter in the back. Esther was grizzling and it was getting on her nerves.
"Alright I can hear you...we'll be home soon I promise..."
Esther grizzled further and Molly looked into her rearview mirror, "Esther stop it, I'm trying to concentrate on the road..."
She was then suddenly blinded as someone behind her didn't dip their headlights.
She faced ahead and all she could see was stars in her eyes because of the blinding they had enduring.
Molly lost control of the vehicle. She was still a relatively new driver and her confidence was blown. The car careered to the verge and then came to a stop at a fense, one side of the car was wedged into a ice cold ditch.
The other car sped off and didn't stop. Molly sparked up some anger, "Bastard!"
Fearing for Esthers well being, she unclipped her seatbelt and turned in her seat to see the toddler looking at her.
"Well...you stop grizzling now, dont you"
She reached for her mobile and sighed in relief when she saw that there was a clear signal. "Dad...dont panic or nothing because we are totally okay...but we've had an accident...no no i'm okay and so is Esther...no...well that's the fing init, I dont know where I am...some road...A40 or is it 45 I dont know but I just thought that just incase you started to worry and that...no...I'm calling the AA...dad?...Dad?"
Battery was flat.
"Shit!"
Esther started to grizzle again. She awkardly climbed into the back of the car and unstrapped her from the childseat, "hey come on...what's all this crying for...we are just stuck that's all"
She looked about the gloom, "god it's getting cold in here..."
She climbed back into the front cursing herself as she got the gearstick stuck up where it shouldn't, and then turned the key...the engine turned over and Molly turned the heating up.
"There, should be as snug as a bug in a rug in a minute..."
She then clampered to the passenger seat and heaved open the door and climbed out. The rain was still lashing down as she looked up and down the road. Nothing.
She began to dismay, but brightened up when she saw headlights. She smiled and yelled out, "We're saved Est!"
Soaking wet she stood on the wet tarmac and waved her hands over her head. She could see it was a car and she was relieved when it stopped.
Her hair sticking to her face, she went to the drivers window and saw that it was a middle-aged couple in their 50s.
"Please...can you help me...I've had an accident and my little girls in the car...can I borrow your mobile or something?"
The woman leaned over and smiled, "Hi...I'm Diane...How awful for you...me and my husband do not own a mobile phone between us I'm afraid, but we can take you into the next town"
Molly looked at the driver, he was silent and had starey eyes, but Molly was cold and wet and her daughter was grizzling to care, she needed to be somewhere warm and dry.
"I'll just go get my daughter, fanks so much, you're a life saver"

Molly sat in the back of the car with Esther on her lap, the driver was fixed to the road, Diane turned in her seat, "Isn't she adorable...I miss my grandaughter...she's, well...", she trailed off looking sad.
Molly smiled as she looked out the window to see the darkness roll by, they then saw the lights of the garage come up on the right.
"just need some petrol...", Diane sung.
Molly smiled, "fank you...", she dug for her purse in her pocket, "Please Ive gotta pay you for your trouble and that"
Diane dismissed her with a wave of the hand, "Ohhh don't be silly...we wasn't going to leave you at the side of the road in this weather were we"
They pulled up beside the petrol pumps and the driver got out and put some petrol into the car. Molly smiled, "Your husband dont say much, does he...are you sure this is okay, I mean we can just get out here and use the phone..."
Diane shook her head warmly, she reminded her of a posh version of her Nan, "death warmed up, I call him, he's never been the one for chit chat"
Dianes husband replaced the pump into it's bracket and then screwed the cap back on the car, he was then searching his pockets.
"Ohhhh...I hope he's remembered his wallet...he's always doing this", Diane moaned watching him and rolling her eyes.
Molly still had her purse in her hand and waved a hand at her and smiled, "It's okay...I can pay for the petrol if you won't take anything for yourself..."
She got out and quickly ran to the hatch, her hair was lank and pushed back, "how much do I owe yah mate"
"For what?"
"The petrol...how much...?"
She shook her head and turned back to the car...
It was gone.
Her eyes darted too and fro and then, wild eyed, turned back to the attendard, "where did they go?"
"Look love, no fuel came out that pump...there's nothing to pay..."
Her heart was racing...this wasn't happening...Esther was in that car...
She ran to the edge of the forecourt and looked both ways to see if they had pulled up somewhere to wait for her, but then again, why han't the old man put any fuel in the car?
She put her hands to her face, and then swept her damp hair back, the reality was dawning on her...the terrifying reality...they had driven off and taken Esther with them.
How could she of be so stupid and leave her in the back...but she was only going to be 2 seconds and with all the relief of being rescued from the ditch.
She raced back to the garage and banged on the glass, "let me in I need to use your phone...LET ME IN!"
The attendent shrugged, "Can't do that...not this time of night, love"
"JUST LET ME IN, I FINK MY DAUGHTERS BEEN ABDUCTED!"
