Reunion

Alex stood in the hallway of Fenchurch East she looked to the other side of corridor. A young girl standing by reception turned round looking at her with a sad face. "What happened" Alex asked as she looked at the girl confused. "You were involved in a car accident you need to go back and help him, he needs you like he needed Sam that's why he exist in this world".

A few seconds later the girl ran towards the other door by the corridor, Alex ran after her as she opened it a bright white shone out blinding her eyes. Next thing she knew Gene had managed to save her. "Bolls" he looked relieved almost fighting tears back from his eyes. She sat up on the pavement and hugged him.

"What about the Quattro", she asked. He felt upset that somehow would damage his beloved Quattro. "If Layton has something to do with this I'm gonna kill him". Gene looked at the wrecked Quattro it only had been damaged from the front of the car. Glass windscreen smashed in and a few scratches on the left hand side. "Won't be with my Quattro for a while" he thought.

Molly who looked confused looked round the room she was in. She was tied to a chair. In 2008 she had skipped school after she heard the conversation Evan had with Layton on the his phone. Evan had begged Layton "not to hurt Alex". She was worried about her mum, she was so close by the barge where Layton had took Alex. He saw her, a couple of miles on as she tried to run away from him across the busy road. She didn't look to see the big coach coming towards her. It hit her and every thing from 2008 vanished from her mind.

The next thing she knew she was waking up in the hospital with a woman who was Irish claimed to be her mum, she knew the woman wasn't. She desperately wanted to get way from the hospital. A couple of days later she was discharged from the hospital with the woman.

She admitted to her she was taken Molly to see her dad. Molly worried this world she woke up in looked to different. Her hair was curled up, she was wearing a t-shirt of a rubix cube, a jacket over it and a denim trousers.

Gene walked with Alex to the hospital, he wanted to make sure that she was ok and wanted her to be checked for any injuries. As he sat in the waiting room, he himself didn't know what had hit him. He and Alex were nearly killed in a car crash. He wanted to nail Layton and have him banged up for good. He spoke silently to himself "what do I do what's my purpose in this world". A doctor appeared from nowhere "Erm my name is Dr Ravi Muntari Mr Hunt I think you should do what you feel is best, help her. You feel this isn't your world"

Gene looked at him confused "what do you bloody mean Doc?". "Like you belong somewhere else past or future". He quickly got called to an emergency.

Alex came out of the Doctor's room.

"How are ya Bolls". "Mr Hunt she has a concussion its lucky you were there if you weren't it could have been more serious".

They passed Ray in one of the patient rooms. He was sound asleep, Alex and Gene walked over to his bed. Sitting down, Gene told Alex about the weird conversation he had with a Indian Doctor.

"He told me I belong somewhere else gotta me bloody confused Bolls".

She twitched her eyes slightly still feeling a pain in her arm. "Was he suggesting you may live in the future". "Don't be soft Bolls I was born and bred in Manchester in the 1950's". "What year" she sat forward waiting for his answer. He didn't know it felt strange was the accident having an effect on his memory.

"Come on lets go and find Molly", he said smiling. An hour later they found out where Layton was situated and old warehouse by the Docklands where Alex had first arrested him in 1981. Alex went ahead of Gene as they entered the warehouse.

A voice spoke, "Well well DI Alex Drake we meet again" it was Laytono was wearing hi sunglasses and a leather jacket as he walked out of the dark shadow. "Where is she Layton tell us" Gene pointed his gun at him. "ahh Mr Hunt so in love with her" Layton pointed at Alex.

"What do you want Layton" Alex shouted at him standing in front of him. "I want you both dead and out of this life forever, you both ruined me"

"Mum", Molly shouted as Philips had hold of her by her arm. "I know why you're here I sent you here didn't I through him". Alex looked very confused "what". "This isn't real Alex you knew once you arrived here".

"I don't believe you", she cried. "I'm given you a choice Alex him or Molly which one will it be"

She looked to Gene he looked sadly back at her and then she looked at Molly. "I can't do it I love them both". "Alex do it I understand" Gene spoke with soft tone in his voice as Layton grabbed his arm and knocked Gene's gun out of his hand kicking it away.

She closed her eyes and two shots rang out. Opening her eyes she saw Gene still standing there he looked shocked and then looking to where Molly was she was still standing there too. Layton and Philips both on the floor. Chris and Shaz stepped forward "Alright Guv Viv told us both of ya were in trouble".

"Layton is still breathing" as Gene checked on him.

Molly ran to hug her Mum it felt so emotional for Alex. Gene smiled as they hugged.

"Molly I want you to meet Gene". She looked up at slowly bringing out a smile. "I've read all about you about how Sam met you in 1973" she said. He give her a smile back.

They sat waiting for the police response and ambulance. "Alex I got to admit am I important or something to you going back home?, I never believed all them things you said in the past but now I'm being to understand to do I have to let you go for you to go home"

She didn't know. "I don't know but we can find out together", She hugged him tightly.

One more chapter to go it will be explained. If Layton was telling the truth or wasn't he
