Molly's eyes flew open and she looked over at her clock and saw that it was 3am, she groaned and rolled over on to her back. She reached over and put the bedside lamp on before picking her mobile up and checking it to see if there was any messages. She had fell asleep pretty early the night before especially after what had happened that day.
Now she was awake because of her dreams that didn't seem to want to leave her alone, always back in that room at the hospital in Afghanistan.
She had a few messages from Elvis saying that he had heard what had happened with Georgie and told Molly to ring him as soon as she woke up but she guessed that 3am was a little excessive so she decided to give it a few hours.
So she checked Facebook and then come to find that Charles had added her on there as a friend and hesitated for a moment because as far as he was concerned she was dating Elvis so it would be awkward when she put Blue, not that he actually had Facebook which is probably a good thing. But she added Charles and then put her phone down before getting out of bed.
Molly stumbled to the bathroom down the hall from her bedroom and turned the light on, her eyes catching the mirror that was on the medicine cabinet and she took a long look at herself. She hasn't looked this shit since well she got shot. "Get a grip, Dawes" she whispered to herself before she walked back out the bathroom, turning the light off as she did and then walked downstairs to get herself a tea.
She made the tea and then sat on the sofa with the tv on a little, mostly as background noise.
Molly then got lost in her thoughts.

She sat up when she heard banging on the door and then realised how late she was, Molly had fallen back to sleep on the most uncomfortable sofa and wished that she hadn't because now she was running late and there was someone banging on her door. Molly ran to the door and opened it up to see that Blue was on the other side.
"Well finally, I thought I was going to have to break the door down in true SAS style" he grinned "and you look like shit, are you ok?"
Having your boyfriend- geez when did that happen?- tell you you look like shit really means she looks like shit. "Overslept, what are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to say that Sophie rang and said that you weren't on base and she was getting worried and not only that I came here to tell you that Georgie finally went to the help that I gave her yesterday"
Molly then realised that they were talking about this on her door and let him in before shutting the door up and she moved towards the bedroom to get ready "Well I'm glad about that because at least now she will be able to finally tell someone what really happened and it means that Elvis gets a little bit of peace from her" she called out to him while she threw her clothes on, rushing around the bedroom as she did.
Blue leaned against the hallway wall near the bedroom. "Well yeah there is that but it also means that you get some peace from her too"
Molly hadn't thought about that if she's being honest, it wasn't as if Georgie was on at her like she was Elvis but whether or not he heard her out that was completely up to him in the end. "So where was he?" she asked as she walked out the bedroom clothed.
"With Debbie and he had left his phone on the kitchen table as they.." he whistled and winked.
"Oh of course, silly me" Molly wasn't actually that surprised and knew that that had sounded bad but it is Elvis after all. The damn guy can't keep it in his boxers but then again it probably had been over two years since he's even done anything like that.
"I love a woman in a uniform" Blue was definitely checking her out even though they wore the same uniform. He grinned at her and looked Molly up and down.
"Looks like you're going to have to keep it in your boxers too, soldier" Molly whispered to him and then patted his chest before moving to the front room making sure she had everything she needed.
"Ok how about we go out this weekend, you me and a lovely restaurant or I could come here and cook"
Molly's head moved towards him so fast that she was sure she was going to get whiplash "You cook?" she then gave it a think over before she finally said "Alright we'll stay in and you can cook but if you get called away during the good stuff again then I'm going to bar you from coming here" she then grabbed her door key "Give me a lift?"
Blue nodded once "Well then I'll have to make sure that I don't get called away during the good stuff"
They left the flat and he gave her a lift to the barracks. It was during the drive that she was quiet and looking out the window and it had drawn his attention. "Something wrong? You seem deep in your thoughts"
"I'm having the nightmares again, every night it's the same one over and over and I wake up every time the bang goes off, that's why I over slept because I woke up at 3 and then must've fallen back to sleep on the sofa" she kept her eyes on the houses and things that they passed.
They came to the barracks and showed their passes before being let in "What's the dreams about?"
If she couldn't tell him the truth then it just proved that she didn't trust him when she did very much. "When I get shot, only this time I remember Antonio moving the gun so that it was pointing towards me rather than away, and I hear him yelling for me to grab it but I never can"
They finally came to a stop and he turned the engine off before he turned in his seat a little to look at her "Do you remember him pointing the gun at you?"
Molly tried to think and came to realise that she wasn't really sure but that all felt very real and that's what frightened her the fact that maybe this could just be tricking her because she wants someone to pay. "I don't it happened so fast but that came to me after I spoke with Georgie about it and It felt like a key was unlocking memories in my brain that had been locked away"
Blue knew better than to dismiss anything that was said especially when it came to something like this and he was definitely going to lock it up and keep it away from Elvis for now especially with what he had said back at former camp Bastion. If he found out that Antonio was behind this then he was going to kill him himself and with Elvis finally getting his life back the last thing they wanted was for him to go on a man hunt. "Speak to your counsellor about it, she can help" he reached out and put his hand on hers and gave it a little squeeze.
She smiled at him and squeezed back. Molly leaned over and kissed his cheek before getting out the car.
The smile that he had on his lips slipped off and he watched as she walked away. He pulled his mobile from his pocket and rang Peanut; who answered on the second ring. "Do you still have him?"
"We do and we're not letting him out of sight, he's not getting anywhere near the others and if he does then we will stop him"
"Good, keep me updated" Blue knew that this was stupid and if anyone found out that they were tailing someone without the Brig knowing then they all could be in deep shit but once they got word that Antonio had landed in London the night before they were hot on the trail of what the hell he was doing here in the first place.
And for Molly he would do anything to keep her safe.
Blue could no longer see her and with that he moved back out the barracks.

Blue grabbed a couple teas, two coffees,and one of those latte shit things, sandwiches, crisps and all that bad shit that would slow him down before he headed to the flat they were in across from Antonio. He might be paranoid about all of this and it could just be nothing but they wanted to be sure that it was in fact nothing.
"Does she know?" Spanner asked as he was handed his tea. "I mean you clearly did go and see her especially after the phone call from that lovely Sophie, she's cute by the way"
Blue rolled his eyes before taking a drink of his tea "No, couldn't bring myself to tell her and this isn't getting anywhere near Elvis' ears either. He gets word that Antonio is in the UK then he will kill him, no I just want to make sure that all of this is legit and that he's not here to harm anyone"
"You mean to hurt Molly" Peanut hasn't seen Blue this taken with anyone and he thought that it was rough for Elvis and Georgie. "So where does Elvis think we are now?"
"...Syria" Blue could hear the disapproval in Peanut's tut. "Just keep photographing" He just hoped that Elvis didn't go to the Brig about him being benched from Syria because he would then find out that they weren't even out of the country and they would get in deep shit with the Brig and none of them wants to be benched.
"What are you doing in the UK, Doctor Antonio?" Blue finally asked outloud.
