A/N: I decided I couldn't stomach leaving it at fluff, here's the drama I was promising.
Chapter 28
The next morning Sam was trying to make her breakfast while Phil was kissing her neck when her mobile rang.
"I have to get that," Sam said grinning and she skipped out of his reach.
"Hello" she said and then squealed because Phil was tickling her. She pushed him away then repeated herself.
"Sam, are you alright?" Adam asked.
"Fine sir, sorry for screaming in your ear."
"That's fine, at least you're ok, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?" Sam asked worried. Phil stopped trying to tickle her when he saw the expression on her face change.
"It's Hugh, he's escaped."
"What?" Sam asked all the blood draining from her face, her heart froze, surely this couldn't be happening, she was so happy and now he was going to wreck it for her.
"I'm afraid it's true, and he's armed. We know he's going to be heading straight for you because he felt compelled to write it all over the walls of his cell before he walked out the front door."
"How could this happen?" Sam asked desperately.
"I don't know, someone's major cock-up. Are you at home?"
"Yes."
"Are you alone?"
"No, Abi's here" Sam said fearfully.
"I want you to drive down here immediately, bring anyone that's in your house and call any of your relatives, warn them. He might have found out where they were living and try to use them as leverage. Come down to the station and we'll see what we can do."
"Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can" Sam said, she didn't want to admit it but she was scared, she turned to Phil and he pulled her into a hug, comforting her even though he didn't know what was wrong. It had to be something pretty big to get her this shaken.
"What is it?"
"It's… Hugh, he's – escaped from prison. Walked through the front door apparently."
"What?" he exclaimed, subconsciously he held her tighter.
"We have to get out of here, he has a gun and he's coming to kill me" Sam said, tears threatening to take over.
"Mum, what's wrong?" Abi asked worried.
"Abi, go upstairs and get dressed, I want you to take Maddie and drive over to Lynn's then I want you to go somewhere where he won't think to look ok?"
"Who?" Abi asked desperately.
"Hugh, he's escaped" Sam replied and hugged her daughter when she gasped. "Will you do that for me? Please?"
"Ok mum, I'll be ready to leave in a few minutes."
"Thanks sweetie" Sam hugged her for a minute then let her go upstairs and get ready.
"Sam, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go into the station, that's what Adam said to do" Sam replied.
"Ok, I'm coming with you." He told her forcefully.
Sam smiled, he had thought she wouldn't let him come, "I wouldn't hear of anything else" she said and hugged him tightly before going upstairs to get dressed.
Phil was driving and Sam was nervously chewing her nails. They took a shortcut down a side street, they were almost there when a van reversed out in front of them, Phil didn't have time to break and they hit it head on. Hugh got out of the van smiling and Sam screamed. She looked at Phil but he was unconscious she locked all the doors and hoped that would hold him. She grabbed her phone and started dialling the number or the station but Hugh just grinned and shot at it through the windscreen. Surprised Sam dropped it, thankfully it hadn't been hit and neither had she, it was only a warning shot. This noise jolted Phil out of his stupor and he lifted his head groggily. Hugh walked around to the passenger side not hiving seen this, or not judging him a threat. Phil opened his door and grabbed Sam pulling her unceremoniously out of the car. The two of them ran down the next lane but Hugh was faster and he soon caught up with them.
Tripping Phil up he grabbed Sam's hair and she screamed. Phil turned around and saw Sam with a gun to her temple. There was a look of terror in her eyes and he scrambled to his feet.
"Don't do anything stupid and I won't hurt her" Hugh said smirking.
"Come on, this way." He dragged Sam back to the van and Phil followed looking for something he could use to his advantage.
Hugh searched Phil for his phone and took it, smashing it up on the ground. "Push that away" Hugh indicated. Phil pushed his wreck of a car away from the van, retrieving Sam's phone and turning it on, hopefully someone would think to track it when she didn't turn up at the station.
"Get in" Phil got into the back of the van, Sam was pushed in after him and the door was slammed shut. He grabbed her and held her tight. She was sobbing but he knew it was just fright, she wasn't actually hurt yet. Phil got the phone out of his pocket and quickly put in on silent. He tried to get reception but it wasn't working.
"Can't you smell that?" Sam asked, "It's lead based paint, you're not going to get reception."
He moved to the window, trying to steady himself against the van's movement. "Got some" he declared it was too risky to call so he sent a text message to Gina, that was the first name he came across in Sam's phone book.
CAR ACCIDENT ON SKIPPERS. HUGH THERE WITH GUN. IN BLUE VAN KY03NBB. Then he settled back to wait.
"Sir, we've got a problem," Gina said.
"What sort of problem?" Adam asked worried.
He hadn't told a soul about Hugh's escape yet and Sam still wasn't here.
"I assume you know Hugh's escaped then?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
"I just got a text from Sam, read it." Gina said thrusting the phone under his nose, he read it his heart sinking. "Get someone over to Skipper's Lane now, and circulate that number plate." He said and stalked off.
Steve and Honey were sent round to Skipper's lane to wait for a forensic team, Steve took one look at the car and rang the station back.
"Sir, the car here, it's Phil's."
"Are you sure?" Adam asked confused.
"Positive, maybe Sam was feeling too shaken to drive and she called him" he suggested though he knew it wasn't true.
"Ok, thanks for letting me know."
Adam wasn't please with the new developments, now they had two officers missing instead of one. Hopefully Phil could overpower Hugh but he didn't see that happening when Hugh had a gun. He probably couldn't even without the gun, Hugh was big, and insane.
"Get a trace on Sam's mobile phone, if she has it with her it could let us know where they are." He ordered.
