"NIKKI"

He could not cope with this. Without her. It had been bad when Leo died - but they had had each other Clarissa had Max so they had clung to each other, both metaphorically and physically and no matter how much he loved Clarissa and Thomas, the whole purpose, the heart of the Lyell Centre was Nikki. He knew it wouldn't function without her. He wouldn't either. He had to find her. Whatever it took.

Nikki

Dark, dark, so dark. And cold. Where am I? Jack, Jack? Phone, is that a phone ringing?

"Save your energy, you will need it. You'll need your oxygen too, so stop screaming! You'll need water. There is a bottle by your feet. Only take sips."

No, no, no! Jack, Jack? help me! JACK! 911, no? Jack, come on, what is it? Jack, Jack's number, what is it? Breathe. Text, text Jack.

'Find me Please. I'm trapped. Buried.' and send. SEND! Oh no, no, no! Jack, help!

Why didn't I listen? He wanted to take me home, I should have listened.

Jack

Got to find her, Nothing else matters. Just need her to be safe. Ok, stay calm. SHIT. Calm. I've moved the car, now sweep it for forensics.

Nikki was asleep. Jet-lagged? If she was asleep, she was DEFENCELESS! Need to punch something. No, calm down

"WHAT ELSE CAN I DO, EVA?"

Shouldn't have slammed the door, I made her jump. Calm down, Jack. Nikki has a better chance if I stay calm.

"This is my fault."

No, it's not your fault, Eva. Because it's mine! I should have taken her home when I had the chance, then this wouldn't have happened.

"Oh no,. It hasn't been used since midnight.. Since before they left."

Her phone. She's gone. She's really gone. She's not going to just walk back in here and call me an idiot for worrying. I want to scream!

"What do they want? I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!"

"I don't know. They don't want you here. They don't want you helping us."

They took her because we're trying to help.. She was trying to help. Just like she always does. It's how she usually gets into scrapes - by trying to help. Only this time I can't get her out of it because I don't know where she is. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS!

"You're angry"

"What have I got to be angry at?"

Angry? Of course I'm bloody angry! They've taken Nikki. One of the few people who matters in this world! I don't even know if she's...No, I can't think about it. She'll be ok. I have to get her back. Luisa's your fault, Gustavo, the only reason Nikki came out here was Luisa and that's on your head. your fault so come on, Gustavo, throw the first punch...

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you. For Dr Alexander. She wanted to be a part of something. Now she is."

Don't you dare! He's sorry? She wanted to be a part of something and now she is? NO, SHE'S NOT! Not Nikki, not now, not ever! Don't cry, no time for crying. Can't cry. Got to find Nikki.

"NO!"

Nikki

Stay calm. Be logical. Think. Work it out. How big is this thing? 650 by 850 by 2,300 I reckon. How much air have I got? That's...1,270 litres of air. 21% is oxygen. 267 litres. A person at rest consumes 0,35. ok, 763 minutes, that's...13 hours. I've been in here...maybe...2 hours, so 11 hours. But the box isn't empty. I'm in here and the average volume of the human body is...13 litres less oxygen - 35 minutes less. Can't panic, wasting air. Slow breaths. Jack, Jack. JACK!

Jack

"You know, if Dr Alexander doesn't come back, I might just put something else in this needle."

"No, you won't. She would. But you wouldn't."

You don't believe me? Well, I WILL. If I don't get Nikki back safely. I WILL!

This idiot is offering me a cigarette! Why would I want those?! Cigarettes aren't going to get Nikki back, you pillock! Stop offering me them! It's useless! The whole lot of you are bloody useless and I don't give a shit how good or bad this is for you! You keep talking but all I can hear is noise. If you want to help get off your arse and do something!

"She's a foreigner. She has Money."

If they want money, they can have money. I'll give them the whole bloody world if I have too.

"Or maybe they've already got what they wanted."

Oh. You are such a prat!

"We've got nothing. Nothing, Thomas! We don't even know if she's still... "

DON'T. Can't say it. She's alive. somewhere - she has to be and who bloody cares what's happening in the Gulf of Mexico! Only Nikki matters.

Nikki

Come and find me, Jack. Please. Stay calm. Don't Panic. That song, what is it? Mum used to sing it.

#Sheila take a bow,

Boot the grime of the world in the crotch, dear,

And don't go home tonight,

Come and find the one you love,

And who loves you#

Find me, Jack.

Jack

"We cannot search everywhere."

Be rational. Need to find her fast. Clarissa, talk to Clarissa.

"The only obvious skid marks match the tread pattern from Eva's car."

That's all? Yes, Clarissa, that's all!

"So, We've got..."

"VERY LITTLE!... sorry"

Didn't mean to shout, but doesn't she understand that I need Nikki back RIGHT NOW! That this is my fault. I should have got her out while I still could.

"This isn't your fault, Jack."

And there it is! Thanks Clarissa, but it bloody is! She agreed to inject their prisoner with insulin and I let her. It was another stupid reason to stay here and I agreed to it! A message. What?

'0686-47-712' a number. This is it. They want me to bargain with them to get her back.

Nikki

The phone. the phone, where is it? It's ringing again. Got it

"Who are you? What have you done with her?"

Jack?
