Charles had just got in from his early morning run, when he heard a knock on the front door, he knew he wasn't expecting anyone as Sam was on holiday with his mom and stepdad, and his parents was in Lake Garda and he hadn't seen Molly since the hospital after she had overheard him tell Georgie the night they had together was a mistake and it took him jumping of the cliff to make him wake up and realised he wasn't thinking straight and needed to address what he was feeling, he was pretty sure that Molly had been right for months when she told him she thought he had PTSD, he decided to wait to see if they'd knock again before he went for a shower and to his surprise they did, so he got up and answered the door.

When he answered the door he was surprised to see Colonel Andrew Beck on his doorstep, he knew seeing his former C/O wasn't a good thing, "Hello Charles" replied Andrew, "hello sir, come in, can I get you a drink?" replied Charles walking to the kitchen to put the kettle on, "yes please Charles, I'll have a cup of tea" said Beck following Charles into the kitchen.

The army sent out uniformed officers to informed the soldiers who have been injured or killed in action, Beck had decided this news was better coming from him after all him and Charles for years and he was worried how the news he had to share would affect him, Beck knew they had split up, but not why, all he knew was Molly had begged him and his superiors to help but his hands were tied because 2 section medic said he was fine not realising she was struggling as well.

How can I help you sir?" Asked Charles with a hitch of worry in his voice, passing Beck his cup of tea "well" Beck cleared his voice before he spoke again " It's Molly" Beck said, "Mol, Molly what about Molly" stuttered Charles, "She's been injured in Syria, Their section was ambushed in a mission, she was given first aid in the field by Sergeant Wiggerty and Captain Kinders, she is currently waiting for the medivac team to land in Syria in order to take her to Queen Elizabeth hospital Birmingham" replied Beck, "wha, what injuries has she got? Has, has her family been informed?" Stuttered Charles "as far as we know she's sustained a serious gunshot to right shoulder and a through and through shot to the left thigh and as far as I know only her nan has been informed, as you know her mom and dad hasn't spoken to her since before you two were married" Beck stated.

Charles thought back to November 2014, when he had proposed to Molly after returning from her 2supnd/sup tour of Afghanistan, she had been so excited about introducing him to her family but the day before, her dad had kicked her out and told her not to come back after she told him that she wasn't going to give him all her deployment money because she was going be moving in with Charles, as well as helping Bashira the little Afghan girl she saved from her dad who was a Taliban, like she promised Qaseem and her dad accused her of looking down her nose at them and forgetting where she had come from, he remembered how broken she looked when she picked her up at Bath Train station, with her kit bag and Bergen, in second she had lost her mom and siblings.

"Charles are you okay" asked Beck bring Charles attention back to the conversation, "Yes, when will she be arriving sir" Charles said trying not to break down, "within the next 10 hours" replied Beck

Charles had phone up Elizabeth Molly's nan up to arrange for him to pick her up and head to Birmingham once they knew she was back at Brize Norton had thanked Beck for coming to tell and he would let him know what was happening and Beck said he would inform him when he had more information for them and they both parted ways.

Before he went to nan's he made a phone call to his commander officer to asked for leave and had a quick shower and pack a bag, whilst packing his Bergen he came across Molly's engagement and wedding rings, and a photo of them and Sam he made the decision to pack them just in case he should need them./p
