This is what I plan to happen in the finale based on the preview.
After having come up empty handed at the police station, Shannon went into the next building while Christian and Lawson double checked the station. Gun drawn, Shannon checks every corner before she turns back around but the last thing she was expecting was for a man to be standing behind her with a spear gun aimed at her head.
"Now, now, don't they teach you at the academy that you should always inspect a building with another team member, now if you know what is good for you, your will put down that gun, along with all your gear on the floor, you need to change into Civilian clothes, one slight move, and this will end up in your head.
Knowing if she doesn't comply she will be in a worse position then she is in now, she decides that it shouldn't be too long until Lawson and Christian come looking for her so she does as she is told.
Grabbing the civilian clothes he has placed onto the floor, she says "Can you at least turn around while I get dressed."
"No, I'm not having you do anything that would alert the others to my presence, so either you get changed now or you end up like your mate who is lying on the beach right now." He says.
Sighing she gets undressed, cringing on the inside at the fact that this guy was watching her and at her most vulnerable, she didn't want to do this but if she learnt anything from all her years on the force and at the academy the options were limited. Either you comply to their demands until your team can get you out of trouble, or you comply until you can manage to escape from them, and the worst was if you didn't comply, well it wouldn't end well.
"Good, I want you to turn around and keep your hands up above your head." He said.
Thinking it was an unusual request, she does as she is told. All of a sudden he has a tight hold of her with a cloth held over her face. Struggling against him she knows she is losing the fight as she starts to feel drowsy.
…
"Shannon, its all clear in here, what about you, have you got anything?" Lawson asks over his coms.
Waiting for a reply, both Christian and Lawson look at each other with a worried glance remembering the last time she didn't reply over her coms.
"Shannon, do you copy?" Lawson asks while he starts to walk over to her last known location.
Drawing their guns out, both Christian and Lawson walk into the building looking around the area. Entering the back of it they see all of Shannon's work uniform and coms lying on the floor, but her weapons missing with the coms destroyed having been stepped on.
"Shit, I gotta call Kerry; we need to do a sweep of the area, get onto Josh, and find out how long till Stella is ready to help out." Lawson says pulling out his mobile.
"Yeah Lawson, how is Michael?" Kerry asks.
"Look I'm about to find out about that in a minute, we have a bigger problem that, Shannon is missing." Lawson says.
"What do you mean exactly when you say missing?" Kerry says with Leon looking up at her questionly.
"As in she is missing Kerry, as in we can't find her, all her uniform is disregarded on the floor along with her coms being destroyed, her weapons are missing too, Christian and I are doing a sweep of the area but so far we have come up empty." Lawson says rubbing his head feeling frustrated.
"How did you let this happen?" Kerry asks.
"She went to look at the building a couple of metres away from the station while Christian and I did another check over the building to make sure we couldn't find anything that may have helped us." Lawson said blaming himself for the events that had unfolded.
"Try and get Stella and Josh to help you once Michael has been taken onto the boat, make sure Audrey tries to get hold of some footage from Shannon's camera, we need to work out what this bloody mystery is with this stupid island, try not to lose any more team members or get them injured, you need to at least stick in pairs." Kerry said.
"I know how our protocol works Kerry." Lawson said hating the fact he was being scolded at like a little child.
"Well if you knew how protocol works, you wouldn't have a team member clinging onto life or a team member who is god knows where with god knows who in god knows what condition, I will get onto the bosses and try and get some more help out there, keep me posted." Kerry says before hanging up.
"Who went missing?" Leon asks curiously.
"Shannon, I need you to try and get me something on this place Leon, anything at all, and if Audrey calls, you need to help her, if you need me I will be on the phone, explaining as to how a team member has apparently vanished." Kerry said before storming off.
Taking a deep breath, Leon turns to the computer and starts typing away furiously.
…
"Hey man, we will find her, seriously it's Shannon, if she can get out of harm's way with Kronin, then she will get out of this, she is just trying to test you, keep you on your toes you know." Christian says knowing that either something had been going on between Lawson and Shannon or that there were some unresolved feelings.
"But at least with Kronin she knew what she was dealing with, we knew what we were dealing with, right now we are flying blind, we have no idea what is going on, we don't know what they are capable of, we don't even know if she is on the island, I don't even want to think about the state she is in after what we found." Lawson said standing outside the building waiting for Josh and Stella to come there with the bags and gloves to bag her uniform and coms for evidence.
"They shouldn't be too much longer." Christian says.
"Yeah well don't forget they got gear to carry up and Audrey, she isn't used to being in these conditions." Lawson said.
"Just be patient, Shannon has had all the right training and experience, she was awesome on our training exercise, she will get through this." Christian says while looking around.
….
"Hey Lawson, we have the gear." Josh says setting it down at his feet and pulling out all the necessary items.
"It's in here; we may as well set up here." Lawson says as he leads Josh to where they found it.
Seeing all the clothes lying on the floor, josh swears internally before bending down to start bagging it and trying to get the bad thoughts out of his mind.
"Do you think she will be okay?" Lawson asks as Josh bags the last item.
"Of course, it's Shannon, clearly the idiot didn't know what he was getting himself into when he cornered her, Shannon being Shannon, she will wait for the right moment before she turns it back onto him and makes her get away, I kind of feel sorry for the poor bastard, he clearly is used to the idiotic people who used to run this island, which we are still trying to work out where they went?" Josh says as he gets up and walks back out.
"Hey Lawson, we can't get anything from the camera, it is completely destroyed, I even called Leon and he doesn't know how to fix it, I am so sorry." Audrey says tearing up.
"Its okay, Shannon will be fine, we just need to cover as much ground as we can as a team, no one can be alone." Lawson said and they all nodded.
…
"Lawson, we need to call it in, it's going to start getting dark now, we don't even know what we are dealing with so it is too risky to let you stay there over night, you guys can go back out there tomorrow, the boat should be there in about 10 minutes." Kerry says on the phone to Lawson.
"Copy that Kerry, how is Michael?" he asked while signalling to the team to start packing up the gear.
"His still in surgery, it shouldn't be too much longer." She said.
"Thanks." Lawson says before hanging up.
Heading towards the water they spot the boat heading towards them from the other side of the island. Pulling up, the man starts helping them hop in with their gear.
Pulling Lawson aside he says "Your boss informed me of what happened, I circled around the island as I noticed when I first dropped you guys off that there were two boats on the other side."
"Okay." Lawson says not getting why this is so important.
"A boat has now gone missing, which means if they took your team member they could be anywhere, I just thought you should know before your team find out, and Michael is out of surgery, so far so good, he has pulled through without any complications during the surgery." He says before starting the boat.
Walking away from the rest of the team, Lawson stares out into the water crossing his arms over his chest, worried about Shannon's safety and if she was okay. He felt angry at himself for letting her out of his sights and he felt an unrattling rage at the people or person who had taken his Shannon away from him. All he wanted was to have her safe in his arms and out of harm's way.
