A Brush with Fate
I'm so sorry about not finishing my last fanfic, but I hope this one goes just as well! This is set across all three series of Ashes to Ashes, but mostly focused on Series 3, especially Episode 8, enjoy!
Chapter 1, London 2010:
It was a new day. Every day was brand new, things were advancing and so were people's lives but what would happen if yours stopped?
Frozen on the path on the side of the Thames, Lea ran around frantically trying to find someone, what had happened? Where was everyone? She then heard a gun shot, and ran for cover behind a pillar, what could be happening?
Three years earlier:
"Mum, I told you a week ago that I wanted to go!"
"No you didn't!"
"Yes, I did! When will you accept that I'm not a child anymore?"
Lea's mum stopped to think, Maybe she really is old enough to go to London on her own?
Lea was 15, funny, clever and could spot something suspicious from a mile away. Her and her mum had to relocate to London because of new work and also because London was the city Lea grew up in after moving to Manchester, there was one other reason though...
The car pulled over into a lay-by where she cupped her daughter's cheeks, "I know your old enough, but I just can't stand losing someone else I love."
That was the reason. Lea and her mum, Michelle lost their dad and husband 4 years ago in a hit and run accident. Nelson was smart and always gave the best words of advice to whoever, whether family or a complete stranger in the pub they owned, The Railway Arms.
"Dad would have wanted us to move on, Well I mean he moved on without any bloody choice!" Lea chuckled awkwardly, making the rest of the journey a breeze as Michelle pulled off of the lay-by onto the motorway to London...
Now:
Lea was thinking of that conversation in a matter of seconds, before more and more gunshots were ringing through her ears, Why didn't I bloody listen to her?
There was a terror attack in a barge on the Thames, a man was holding a woman hostage and wanted to speak to a police officer.
