Sally was pinned against a wall by one of the thugs, who trying to break her riot helmet with a large stone. As his giant sized hand closed around her throat she yelled out, cutting her off mid cry. Then she realised her feet where still free so she kicked him somewhere that hurts and ran off, coughing because of her very sore throat and how smoky the room was getting.
She whirled around, staring at officers falling to the ground all around her as they struggled the control the barrage of thugs spilling out of doors at the back of the warehouse into the onslaught. It was then she caught site of Smithy at one of the said doors.
He was caught in a vicious headlock by one of the thugs, which Sally got him out of by sprinting over and knocking the guy out. Sally held out a hand to help the sergeant to his feet, but he angrily pushed it away, clambering up unaided.
"Where the hell have you been! Where is your radio?" Shouted the sergeant furiously.
"I dropped it, I'm not sure!" Sally yelled back as they ducked for cover. "Millie's gone I'm not sure-"
"Davis has her, I was trying to radio it in but that guy over there smashed my radio!" Bellowed smithy over the triumphant yells of the thugs.
"Well then we have to rescue her, we have to..." Began Sally, dodging a glass bottle aimed at her head.
"The door he took her through is locked from the inside! There's no way through!" Yelled Smithy back, pushing her down behind a large barrel.
Just as sally was about to reply a SO19 officer joined them.
"You two wouldn't be Smithy and Sally would you?" he quizzed, firing a plastic bullet at a nearby thug.
"Yeah." Replied Sally. "Is inspector Gold worried?"
"She's been yelling down the radio for you two for the past hour and a half, I think you need to get out there! She got the message about Millie, and has sent for backup, she had ordered you two out of the frontline!" replied the officer. "I'll escort you out!"
Sally was about to object but Smithy silenced her with a glance; they needed to let the others deal with this. They were no use to anyone in the state they were in. Sally had a gash above her eye and Smithy had a nice purple bruise forming on his cheek. As they crawled out of the warehouse Gina rushed over to them, her face red with fury.
"Where they hell have you been!" she screeched, sending shivers down Sally's spine.
"Millie was grabbed by Davis and no one could get to her in time, Sally was attacked by a thug who she dealt with and she then helped me knock another guy out, we tried to get out but we couldn't." said Smithy quickly.
"Ok, I want you two with me, where I can see you. You can help me coordinate since it appears you have no radios." Said Gina, face lightening from the relief of finding both her offices safe.
Sally was already making her way back to the warehouse.
"PC Armstrong, NO!" Shouted Smithy, grabbing her arm.
"Millie's in there, I never should have left, I'm going to find my friend!" Screamed Sally. Tears pouring down her cheeks.
"Sally leave it to the others, there's nothing we can do now." Protested Smithy, dragging her back towards everyone else.
What none of them had noticed was the black car pulled up behind them, with Rachel and Terry inside, wearing full riot armour. They both jumped out and ran towards the warehouse, Rachel lagging behind. They stopped when they reached Gina.
"We're going in there; don't even think about stopping us!" Shouted Rachel, determination and pain clear in her expression.
"Rachel You're still recovering, and Terry is not an officer I can't allow-" Began Gina staring at her sergeant wide eyed.
"Jim Davis' real name is David Ersh. Also known as the Redding rapist!" yelled Terry, running towards the warehouse quickly followed by Rachel.
No one dared stop them this time.
"NO!" Screamed Sally, breaking free of Smithy's grip and tearing after them.
