Fire and Brimstone

Ray insisted that Sharon took him straight back to the Prison. He felt guilty that Alex and Viv were still in the Prison. Sharon had really wanted to take him home, or at least call Mia to take him home. But Ray was determined. As Sharon drove through the streets of Fenchurch she could feel the sense of dread growing in her stomach. She knew the riot squad were at the prison. She also knew Keats was there and was likely to be winding up the Guv.

Danny continued to lead Viv through the prison as the fighting and noise seemed to reverberate off the walls. Viv held his ribs as he followed his young nephew through the chaos that surrounded them; he hoped the Guv and the others had an idea of what was going on. He had an awful feeling that their 'posh, goby' DI was actually in a lot of trouble. Viv sighed, knowing Alex she probably didn't even know how much trouble she was in. Viv couldn't help bout wonder if Danny was leading him in to more of the same trouble he'd encountered when he had first arrived at the prison. Rolling his eyes he followed the younger man, hoping that he could trust him this time.

Alex felt sick as Layton walked around her. She was still determined not to do anything Layton asked her to. She had to focus on getting out of the prison, away from Layton and back to Gene and Molly. Staring directly at him Alex pulled herself up to her full height. She glared at him in the same was she glared at Keats when he had tried to split her and Gene up. The level of hate she felt at that moment was unrivalled by anything she had experienced before. Layton smirked as he waved the gun in the air.

"Alex, Alex" Layton shook his head "Do you really think Gene is going to run in here to save you" Alex narrowed her eyes as Layton smirked.

"Actually no I don't think Gene or any of the others are going to rush in here. I know none of them are so stupid as to give you what you want." Alex turned her head slightly as Layton ran a finger along the side of her face.

"I dunno about that Alex" he smirked as he crossed to the desk in the office. "They can't see us anymore. Gene has no idea what could be going on in here. You could already be dead for all he knows!" Layton began ranting as Alex crossed to the door of the office. The heat and noise from the rest of the prison continued to flare outside the room. The atmosphere was almost oppressive. Alex glanced out of the office, wondering if she could just walk out of the room. Layton still had the gun and still seemed determined to kill her, so what did she have to loose? Alex thought as Layton continued ranting and raving.

Gene stormed through the prison with Annie and Sam alongside him. He was livid, Viv and Alex were somewhere in the prison but he had no idea where they could be. The thought of Alex in the same room as Layton made Gene feel sick. He was determined to find her but was worried about the state she could be in when he got there. All the time he stormed through the prison Gene was silently praying that he'd catch sight of her and Viv as he went. Annie was just as livid. The carnage around them making her feel sick. She blocked a punch from an inmate that she didn't believe was meant for her as Sam kept his hand on her back. There was no way he was letting Annie out his sight. Sam was worried about Gene; it had only been two days since Alex had been attacked by the serial killer, now they had to get her away from Layton. Annie really believed she was dead this time. After all surviving the gunshot wound had been a minor miracle. Annie really didn't think the odds were stacked in their favour this time. The thought of Molly at home oblivious to what was going on brought tears to her eyes as she pushed through the smoke and chaos around them.

Gene punched the man that ran in front of Annie wielding what appeared to be a chair leg. Annie ducked as she pointed towards the Governor's office.

"Guv. Up there. Look" She tried to make herself heard over the noise. Gene grunted as he followed her gaze.

"Right, that's it" He stormed towards the open doorway. He still couldn't see Viv or Alex but the unmistakable frame of Layton was clearly framed by the doorway. Gene glared as Sam saw what both Annie and Gene had spotted moments before hand.

"Uncle Viv!" Danny shouted to make himself heard above the noise. Viv nodded that be had heard his nephew. The wound in his head and the pain in his ribs forced him to be slower than his younger fitter nephew. Danny pointed up towards the Governor's office.

"Reckon your mate Alex is up there. One of the boys said he heard a bird in here. Didn't believe him, but reckon it could be her". Viv nodded again.

"Yeah it probably was" He gripped his side as Danny began to look worried.

"Don't worry about me boy. Get yourself safe." Viv smiled as Danny shook his head.

"Yeah, loads of safe places in 'ere aint there Uncle Viv" he smiled as he made his way towards the office.

Gene walked on ahead of Sam and Annie shouting over his shoulder. Sam had to strain to hear what was being yelled in his direction.

"Sam, get Annie out of 'ere. Am going to reacquaint myself with Layton. Or should I say reacquaint his face with my boot." He stormed off as Sam shrugged his shoulders; he knew that whenever Alex was in trouble Gene lost the ability to think rationally. He always went head long after her, whatever the danger.

"Gene" Sam started as Gene spun round, almost knocking him over.

"Tyler, Alex is up there. I'm not letting that scrawny little waste of skin touch her." He turned and marched up towards the office as the chaos began to be brought under control by various members of the riot squad and CO19. Sam rested his head in his hands for a moment as the gunshots began to reverberate around the prison. It was only when Sam saw how pale Annie had got that Sam realised the first few shots had come from the Governor's office.

Ray stood with Sharon in the entrance to the prison, watching various prisoners being brought out of the prison on stretchers. The paramedics were working their hardest to get everyone to a place where they could be treated. Ray ran a hand over his face as Sharon stared in to the open prison waiting for Chris or one of the others to emerge. It was Ray who broke the silence when the final shot rang out.

"Shit" Ray closed his eyes and waited.
