Author Note- I have not written in a very long time, prefer just to read, but I had to get this down on paper! I will apologise now for my grammar, I have no beta at all, so I am only doing my best.
If anyone would like to be my beta, then let me know!
Apart from that I hope you enjoy!
Just 'what if' from episode Intervention.
With the man beckoning her towards him, Grace started to have second thoughts ' Should I go to the car, I know sarge has said I can, but what does it matter, why does he need me in the car' cutting into her thoughts Grace hears Max.
" Grace, we can't chance them leaving without them giving us Kapur, they obviously want you to go to the car and see him yourself" Carter said to her through the ear piece. Pushing her towards them.
Watching Grace once again walk towards the car on video, Neil starts to worry, he did not want her getting into the car " Max, we now have a better visual, get her out of there right now!" he says into his radio.
"We have the place surrounded even if Grace gets into the vehicle, they will never get away" Max says back, hoping that he is not wrong in his assumption.
Looking at the video again, Neil starts to panic " I don't care, I gave you an order, I said get her out! "Neil shouts into the radio
Hearing the panic in his voice Terry cannot take it anymore "Right that's enough" He says to himself, " All units move in" talking into his radio, whilst starting the car. Heading towards the car park.
By this time Grace has got to the male standing in front of him, she asks " Now what", with that the male grabs her arm and pulls her towards him, holding her on her upper arms. Trying to get away from him Grace starts to struggle, trying to push herself off, he only grabs her even more tightly on her arms.
Starting to feel the bruise forming on her arms, Grace starts to regret going to the male.' they can see me,30-45seconds that all I have to wait till back up get here' Grace thinks to herself breathing deeply ' how long has it been?'
Hearing the sirens coming into the car park, Grace releases a breath she didn't realise she was holding.
" You shouldn't of got involved pig" the male states,
Shocked at hearing those words Grace looks into the males eyes, seeing the smirk in his eyes Grace starts struggling even more, Kicking at the male, and trying to punch him, nothing seemed to work. The male then picks her up by her waist and throws her into the back of the car. Following into the car after her, the male places a knife against her throat.
" I suggest you don't move, if you want to live" the male states, glaring at her from behind his mask, Grace starts to panic, breathing erratically, Grace starts looking around to see if there is anything that she can use against him. 'how long has it been surely the seconds are up now?' she thinks to herself.
Sucking in her breath she hears the car start up, 'Oh god am I going to get out of this alive?, are all of the exits covered?, where are the guys?'
"Oh God" Neil breaths out whilst seeing Grace get pulled towards the male, seeing her struggle against him, "The male has got her!" Neil gasps into the radio. Then all of a sudden Neil sees Grace look up at the male and then starts struggling even more, kicking and attempting to punch the male, whilst trying to get out of his grip. He can see that she is not doing well against him. The next scene takes Neil's breath away, seeing the male pick her up and throw her into the back of the car, he starts cursing Max under his breath.
" Grace has been forced into the car, repeat Grace is in the car" Neil states into his radio.
The car starts moving and Grace really starts to panic, realising that the knife is no longer against her throat, Grace looks up at the male again, seeing that she did not hold his attention, she takes a chance and starts slowly moving her right arm up.
Hearing the sirens getting closer, Grace moves all of a sudden hitting the males arm, away from her, not doing much damage to him, Grace does manage to get out of his range to do harm to her throat.
" Bitch!" The male growls, all of the sudden he lunges towards her, with the knife.
"Grace has been forced into the car, repeat Grace is in the car" Neil voices states as it comes over the radio. Hearing this Terry fears the worse, " she better be alright Max, or else" Terry glances over to his side.
" She will be" Is all Max replies.
Catching Mickey's eye in the rear view mirror, fear is shown in his eyes, and Terry thinks to himself ' she better be'.
Coming head on with the car, Terry swings it to block the car. The target car slams onto its brakes. With the van full of armed officers behind them, all three stay in the car. Then all of a sudden the drivers and rear drivers door swings open and the males rush out, they soon stop short when they see several armed officers pointing their guns at them.
" On the floor, on the floor" Is all Terry can hear as he rushes out of the car, ' where is Grace he murmurs to himself?' Getting to the rear of the car, Terry pulls the door open." Oh God" is all Terry can manage to say.
" I need an ambulance now" Terry shouts into his radio. " Grace, Grace can you hear me?" Terry practically shouts. " Oh God!" Checking for a pulse, but unable to find one.
" Is she alright?" Terry hears through the radio.
" Terry!" shouts Mickey, "Jesus" is all he can say when he sees Grace "Is she….."
Unable to finish the sentence.
" I don't know, we need to get her out of the car now!" Terry states bringing himself together. " Mickey!". Terry says when he realises that Mickey is just standing there.
" Right, right" Mickey states that snapping himself out of it. Moving to get into position he starts to help Terry get Grace out of the car.
" She alright?" Terry hears Max say, coming around to see her after hearing the commotion from the others.
" Get out of our way now!" Shouts Terry. Whilst him and Mickey manoeuvre Grace out of the car and lay her on the floor. Searching for a pulse again Terry somewhat sighs with relief. " Found One"
"Argh" Terry and Mickey hear, looking at Grace they see her coming round. Opening her eyes Grace sees Mickey and Terry hovering over her with worried expressions on their faces. " hey" Grace whispers lightly, trying to move, she gets held down by both men.
"Stay still Grace, you have lost a lot of blood" Terry talks to her softly, whilst trying to find out where the blood is coming from.
" What do you mean?" Grace asked confused, looking down at herself she notices that she is covered in blood. " How?…." As she tries to move her left arm. Grace cries out lightly.
Hearing her cry, Terry examines her arm, " looks like you've been stabbed Grace" Terry utters.
" He….he had a knife, he came at me….." Grace whispers, "oh god" she collapses back onto Terry.
" Here, don't worry the ambulance is here now, they'll look after you" Terry says softly to her, whilst looking at her arm and putting pressure on it.
The paramedics arrive and take over from Terry. Cutting her coat off, they start assessing Grace, noticing her arm wound they begin to wrap it up. The paramedics then start asking her questions, " have you been injured anywhere else?, what was you stabbed with?"
"I need an ambulance now!" Is the worst phrase Neil wanted to hear, not being able to see anything properly on the video, Neil asks "Is she alright?". Staring at the screen Neil prays that she is ok, he can see Terry standing at the door, and then Mickey coming up to him.
The next thing he sees nearly stops his heart, Neil can just about make out Terry and Mickey pulling something, no wait someone out of the car. " Get me to St. Hughes now" Neil says whilst walking out of the control room. Without looking to see of Banksy is behind him, he rushes outside. Leaning over the railing Neil tries to calm himself down.
Standing outside, seeing Neil breathing deeply whilst leaning over a railing Banksy gives him a few moments to compose himself. " Guv…." He starts
Shooting his head up, Neil makes eye contact with him " Is she…" he starts but unable to continue
" She has been injured….but she is talking" Banksy tells him "lets get you up there shall we."
On the way to the hospital Neil is quiet, thinking to himself, different scenarios going through his mind 'what if she is hurt bad? what if she doesn't make it….., No! Banksy said she was talking, but people can go downhill very fast' another voice comes into his head. Shaking the thoughts from his mind, he notices that they are coming up to St Hughes.
Pulling into A & E Neil immediately sees Terry and Mickey standing outside. What alarms Neil the most is the fact Terry top half is covered in blood. " Wha…." Neil starts to say
Terry puts his hands up" It not mine, but its not all of Grace's either", Terry says quickly seeing how pale his boss was coming " It seems that she managed to do some damage to the guy that hurt her". Hearing the boss breath he carry's on. " She is being looked at by the docs at the moment, they say she will be fine"
Nodding his head at them Neil speaks " Go home and get yourself cleaned up, both of you" he adds after seeing that Mickey has blood on him as well. " Oh, where is Max?" he asked distractedly whilst looking into A & E.
" He went back to the station" Mickey says, flicking his eyes to Terry. Only getting a nod in reply from the boss.
Banksy looks at Neil, and giving him the keys no one says anything.
Taking a deep breath Neil walks into A & E with Banksy, Terry and Mickey watching him go. Then turning around all three head towards the car.
