Charles looked up when Molly spoke and followed her eyeline to the third person that clearly would be joining them.
"Did you know about this?" Molly asked and looked over at him. She hated the thought that she was going to be blindsided by all of this and would rather ignore it all but she thought that they had been getting on a lot better than they had been before.
"No" Charles shook his head but could see that Molly didn't believe him "I swear, I haven't spoken to Georgie since I told her that you were going on a date with Elvis and I only texted her not actually rang her"
Georgie saw them and walked right over to their table. She got a third chair and put it at their table and then sat down in it. "Where is he, Molly? Where is Elvis?"
"I don't know where he is" and that was the truth. Her and Elvis had started up a really good friendship yes but that didn't mean that she knew where he was 24/7. "He's probably overseas, you know what it can be like, one minute they are here and the next they are in Syria"
"I tried ringing him but he's not answering his phone and when I went to your flat to see if you were in I remembered that you liked to come here and found you with your ex husband, nice to see you again Charlie" she said sarcastically to him without actually looking over at Charles.
"It's a lovely day out there, Georgie" he muttered.
Molly wasn't sure what Georgie was up to but the last time she spoke to Elvis was when she rang him to say that they were dating, it got a tease out of him and she remembered that they had spoken about Georgie and Charles and whether or not they would forgive their ex other halves. Elvis had said that he didn't want anything to do with Georgie but since turning up on her doorstep it was like the woman was unravelling and not in a good way either. "Well you know that if you try to ring him and he's overseas then you could be putting him in danger so give it a couple days and he will get back to you" she knew that Elvis wasn't likely to ring her back.
"Molly is right, Elvis is back on operations now he's probably been shipped out and will be back" Charles kept his eyes on Georgie. He knew that something was wrong but it had never been this bad and it was bordering on desperation.
"I need to talk to him" Georgie said in a whisper to Molly, with tears in her eyes.
Molly reached out and put her hand on top of Georgie's "I know you do" why she was being so kind like this was beyond her but there was a little bit of a fear in Molly that Georgie might try to hurt her. So if she reacted with kindness then maybe things won't be so explosive. "Georgie, you need to talk to someone about all of this, you know you will get the help"
Georgie shook her head "I need to talk to Elvis, to explain everything, he can't move on not with you"
Molly looked over at Charles and then sighed softly before then ordering Georgie a cup of tea. "It always makes everything so much better" she smiled softly at her. "Charles, why don't you get back home and we can talk a bit more freely" her eyes begged him to find Elvis and while it looked like he was going to say no he nodded and then put some money down. "I'll talk to you later, Molly, bye Georgie"
Molly looked back at the other dark haired woman before watching as a cup of tea was put in front of her, she removed her hand from Georgie's and then picked up her own cup. "I know it gets overwhelming, the grief of a relationship or when we lose someone that we love in a way that you thought you lost Elvis"
"I just want him back, Molly, he's the love of my life and when he was gone it was so hard but then he turned back up and saw me with Charlie and he just flipped" her hand was shaking as she lifted up the cup before taking a noisy sip of the tea. The cup shaking a little bit as she put it back down.
Elvis was carving out a new life with Debbie and Laura, he was going back to the woman who in the end still loved him and didn't move on to his best friend. Molly had felt bitter about it all and in the end shut her heart off from feeling love but she realised that it was ok to move on. To carve out a new life with someone new.
"Everything is such a mess and I don't know how to fix it all"
"Well first thing first is that if you want to get Elvis back then you're going to have to get some help because he needs to know that you're going to be ok" Molly wasn't sure if she was saying all of this right but Elvis in the end would want Georgie to get help so she can work through everything. "I remember when Charles came home after Elvis' supposed death and I watched as he fell apart, the first thing he done when he got back through our front door was crumbled" Molly looked down for a moment. "He waited to be away from 2 Section before he cried because he didn't want to be weak in front of those that looked up to him"
"He never said that to me" Georgie hadn't heard that before and didn't know that it had even took place. "Though Charlie never really said a lot when we were together or at least not about what happened after Elvis' death"
Molly actually felt a little bit of sympathy for Georgie and a little part of her hated it because this woman had been the reason why her husband had left her, Charles was a big part of that blame too. Sitting here with sympathy in her heart made her realise that she was so much better because it meant she could move passed it. "Don't you see now, that's why you need to get help Georgie because if you don't it's going to eat you up inside until you burst and you're not going to be able to put yourself back together"
"I'm scared because what if I can't put myself back together? What if what I was before is gone?"
"Nothing is ever really gone and you will be able to pull yourself back together, it's not going to be straight away, or in a couple days or weeks, it's going to be a long process but you will get there in the end"
"Why are you being so nice after I stormed in here demanding to know where Elvis is?" Georgie didn't understand how Molly could be so calm about all of this, if someone came to her demanding something then she would likely tell them where to go or get the manager to get them out.
Molly didn't know why she was being so nice but staying calm was the only thing that could defuse the situation. "Because if I was in the same situation then I would probably do the same"
"Do you think I'm ever going to have another chance with Elvis?"
Molly knew she had to be careful here because one wrong word and all of this calmness could go tits up and the last thing she wanted was for Georgie to start throwing things and the coffee shop having her arrested because that wouldn't be in anyone's best interest but at the same time she might get the help she needs. "I don't know, Elvis is an a law unto himself so I could say one thing and he turns around and does the complete opposite"
"Seems about right" Georgie smiled and saw that her hand was a little bit calmer and picked up her cup to take another drink of tea this time it was much more quieter.
"I'm sorry that you got shot, Molly, did they get the person who done it?"
Molly shook her head "No, he was working with us and we ended up at the local hospital with a really hot doctor," she grinned at that "and I was off my game because I had got a call from Charles and I'm being called in to the office and the next thing I remember is that Poya made me call the new CO" she felt her heart pounding a little bit faster when she was thinking about it all. "I thought I was going to die, Georgie, I thought that this was the end and I was going to die in some shithole in Afghanistan" she didn't like to be weak in front of someone who could use this against her down the line but it was the first time she had really talked about it.
Then like a memory was being unlocked she was back in that room, back with Antonio and Poya and watched in slow motion as the doctor made sure the gun was pointing towards Molly rather than away from the both of them and jumped when she heard the gun go off in her head. A tear rolled down her cheek and she was trying to calm her heart down.
Did Antonio shoot her on purpose?
The door opened up and in walked someone she didn't think she would see but he was walking towards the table, taking Charles seat, it was Blue. His eyes looked towards Georgie "James rang me to find out where Elvis is, he's overseas at the moment" he smiled softly at her.
Georgie nodded at him before giving him a soft smile to. "Thank you, Blue"
If there is one look that Molly understood was the fact that Blue was lying which meant that Elvis wasn't overseas but with Debbie and they weren't going to tell Georgie that with the state that she was in. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card "I have made a call for you" he put the card down on the table "These guys are really good, you get to stay in the facility until you're ready, all you have to do is turn up tomorrow; they will help you, Georgie and right now you need help"
"I do" she whispered to him "I do need help, thank you again" Georgie took the card and looked down at it. "And all I have to do is turn up?"
"That's all you have to do" Blue confirmed to her. "You take some things with you and then you stay there until everything is sorted with you, they understand that it will take a while so don't worry about the time just.. tell them everything"
Georgie understood that they would always have her back and right now getting this help is what she needed and then maybe she would be ok for Elvis. But right now she needed to get to that facility and get the help. She finished up her tea and stood up from the seat. "Thank you, to both you" she smiled at them both and put the card into her pocket and walked away from their table. Then she caught the soft kiss between Blue and Molly and then came to realise... Molly wasn't with Elvis at all.

It was only when Molly shut the door behind her that she heard Antonio's voice yelling at her to get the gun.
She was right back there, watching as the gun was being pointed at her.
"Get the gun Molly" his voice yelled over and over again. Bang
She put her hands over her ears and slid down the wall "Go away" Molly cried as she rocked back and forth "Please just go away"

"Well to the UK, Mr Antonio, business or pleasure?"
"Oh, a little bit of both" he smiled at the woman.
