Chapter 3

Molly and Sloane had successfully escaped from the warehouse and were now walking through a sewer, trying to get somewhere safe because they both knew the threshold team will eventually come looking for them, so they needed to keep on moving.

Molly turned to Sloane. "You do realize that they won't stop looking for us….me, I am too much of a threat, I know too much about their operations" Molly informed him.

As they keep on walking, Molly's human side kicked in and she suddenly remembered that her cell phone was still in her pocket, so she casually reached into her pocket and turned the on button located at the side of her phone, as she turned it off before, knowing that the tracking device would give her and Sloane away.

"Molly, don't worry they won't ever find us, and if they do, we will just keep on moving until they stop looking for us" Sloane said to Molly, patting her on the arm.

The human part of Molly was just laughing at what he was saying, 'with Sean on the team, they won't ever stop looking for me you idiot' she thought to herself.

"I hope you're right" Molly answered.

As much as an infectee Molly was, she hated it, her human DNA would not stop fighting the change, and she was not giving up her humanity easily or without a fight.

Cavennaugh needed some time alone, some time to think about everything properly and the first place he thought of to go was Molly's office. As he opened the door his eyes started to well up with tears but he held them back. As he looked around the room, something caught the corner of his eye, there sitting on Molly's desk was a picture frame, one he hadn't seen before, so he walked over to her desk and sat down. When he saw the picture that was in the frame, he was completely taken aback, it was a picture of him and Molly, and they were standing outside one of the house's they had 'looked' at in Allenville.

He didn't even realize anyone had taken the picture, he and Molly looked like the happily married couple they were supposed to be 'playing' he had his arms wrapped around her waist while Molly's were wrapped around his neck, and to him it looked like they were about to kiss. As he continued to stare at the picture, he didn't feel the tear roll down his cheek until it fell onto the frame; he viciously wiped it away but as he did, more started to fall.

"Oh Molly, where are you" he whispered to the picture, wiping away a few of the many tears now rolling freely down his face.

He didn't hear the door to Molly's office close until he looked up and saw Dr. Fenway staring back at him.

"We will find her, and we will turn her back to the Molly we know, that I promise you Cavennaugh, but you have to do one thing for me…." Fenway told him.

"What's that doc?" Cavennaugh asked curiously.

"Tell her how you feel, I've seen it a lot in her, when you go out to get an infectee, she was always scared you wouldn't come back, although she would never admit it, she cares about you, and from what I just witnessed, you care about her too…so for goodness sakes don't waste what time you two have by ignoring your feeling, because I can tell you, they won't go away and if anything they will get stronger" Fenway said to him, giving him hope.

Cavennaugh just nodded in agreement, he knew that if, no when Molly came out of this he needed to tell her how he felt, it was starting to interfere with both their jobs.

Just then Lucas came running into the room, with Ramsey right behind looking somewhat excited.

"What's wrong?" Cavennaugh asked anxiously, standing up from Molly's desk and placing the photo frame into his jacket pocket.

"Good news, we've located Molly" Lucas said to him with a huge smile on his face.

"We've found both Molly and Sloane" Ramsey included smiling at Fenway and Cavennaugh.

"Okay, good work guys, send the details to my phone, doc start working on the reversal treatment for Molly, I am bringing her home." Sean said feeling the most relieved he'd ever been in his life. He bolted down the hallway to inform his team of agents to go with him and help him apprehend Sloane, so they could bring Molly back home safely.

Molly kept drifting in and out of the light sleep she was in; there was way too much going on inside her head to be having a decent sleep. On the other hand, Sloane was fast asleep. She thought back to earlier that day when she turned on her cell phone, and decided to check if anyone had tried to contact her. While doing so she heard Sloane's voice next to her.

"What are you doing Molly?" He asked her suspiciously, cocking his eyebrow at her.

"Nothing, just found this in my pocket, but the battery has been dead for a while now so don't worry, no-one would have been able to contact me" She informed him putting the phone back in her pocket.

Just then they heard footsteps in the distance, Sloane immediately turned to Molly and eyed her carefully, seeing that she was looking a bit nervous.

"Oh my god, that's them isn't it? Answer me bitch" Sloane yelled, harshly grabbing her and pinning her against the wall.

As soon as Cavennaugh called out Molly's name, Sloane new it was indeed Sean Cavennaugh, and she had lied to him.

Sloane's next move frightened Molly, he pulled out a sharp looking knife out of his pocket and held it to her throat, but she fought him and almost got away when he grabbed her back and slashed her side, causing her to yell out in pain, but also giving Cavennaugh and his men a clear view of where she was.

Molly instantly fell to the ground clutching her bleeding side, just before Sloane got the chance to hurt her anymore, Cavennaugh and his men came rushing towards him and Cavennaugh shot him straight in the chest.

The pain that was going through Molly's side was unbearable. She could see Sean rushing towards her, followed by Fenway who had recently arrived at the scene and was carrying a needle of some sort.

Cavennaugh bent down and supported her while Fenway stuck the needle into her leg, soon causing her to drift into unconsciousness.

Cavennaugh sat patiently by Molly's bedside as he watched her peacefully sleeping.

Molly could feel something on her hand, she couldn't make out what it was, but as she started to stir, she realizes it's someone holding her hand.

Sean noticed that she was starting to wake up, so he squeezed her hand. "Molly its Cavennaugh, you're in the med lab, everything is going to be okay now" he said quietly to her.

Her eyes then started to flutter open, and the first thing she noticed was Cavennaugh.

"Hey" she said in a soft voice. "Hey yourself" Cavennaugh replied with a huge smile forming on his face.

"I'm so glad you're okay Molly. I wouldn't be able to ever forgive myself if anything bad happened to you" he said with a more serious look on his face, also causing Molly to blush slightly.

Molly lowered her head slightly. "Every time you go out into the field alone, I always get scared you won't come back….not just because we would loose an important part of the team, but I don't want to loose you Sean, you're too important….to me" she told him, her eyes starting to well up with tears.

Right at that moment, Cavennaugh felt closer to Molly than ever before, and he couldn't stand seeing her upset, so he stood up from the chair and climbed onto the med lab bed with her, wrapping his arms protectively around her.

"Shh its okay, everything is going to be okay now"

She looked up into his eyes and saw a new side of him, a loving, passionate side that she could get used to.

Just then they both started to say something at the same time. "Sean I…" "Molly there's…"

"Molly what did you want to say?" Sean asked.

"No, you go first" Molly offered.

"Molly…..I….god this is really hard, I've never told any woman this before….Molly I am in love with you."

"Ohh Sean, I love you too" Molly said with tears of joy in her eyes now, wrapping her arms around his neck. They both then leaned in to each other, sharing their second kiss. The only difference between this kiss and the one they shared in Allenville is that this one was filled with all the love and passion they feel for each other.

As they parted, due to the need of air, Sean rested his forehead against Molly.

"I love you Molly Anne Caffrey" Cavennaugh said breathlessly.

"I love you too Sean Cavennaugh, so much"

Their lips met once more, before drifting off to sleep, looking ever so peaceful in each others arms. The rest of the Threshold Red Team agreed to this, having watched everything from outside the med lab.
