The next day saw Molly and the team back helping out especially with the new medical patients coming in. When Molly was working there was nothing ever on her mind because she wanted to put all of her focus on the task in hand. So whatever she had been thinking at the camp this morning had been pushed out of her head.
Maisie had the bigger problem of everything because of the fact that the medic would having her doing this or that. It was the tone of her voice, hell her voice, that annoyed her and it didn't seem to get any better. She walked out of the tent when one of the lads were walking passed.
"Your medic is the biggest pain in my ass" she spoke to Brains but she figured that she was talking to the wrong person because it seemed like he loved Molly. Like the woman could do no wrong.
"I think you'll find that she's our medic and by comparing her to Georgie really won't help your case because they are both different people, you joined the section when Georgie was here but we were here from the beginning and both medics have different personalities and different ways of doing things, just stopping bitching at her and get the job done, Richards" Brains sighed and then went on to say "You gave Georgie a hard time and doing the same with Molly will only end badly for you especially if anyone higher up hears that you like to give medic's a hard time" he left it at that and went back to what he was actually doing in the beginning.
Maisie hadn't expected that and her mouth dropped before she headed back in to the tent.
"What was that about?" Fingers asked Brains and nudged his head in the direction of the tent that he had just passed and indicating Maisie who was now walking back in.
"Complaining as usual but I'm pretty sure that she will get Molly's right hook if she's not careful"
"I'm sure Molly has calmed down a lot in the years that we've known her" Fingers remembered that they had given her a hard time in the beginning but she proved that she was no push-over and risked her life by getting Smurf out of that minefield.
"Maisie will keep pushing the buttons but we will have to see just how Molly reacts" Brains patted Fingers on the shoulder before he went back to his work.
Fingers looked over at the medical tent and sighed under his breath; he just wished that Richards would stop giving their medics a hard time but not every woman needed a man fighting for them and Molly was definitely one of those women who liked to do things herself. She was independent like that.
"Did you get what I asked?" Molly looked up at Maisie when she came back in the tent and it was clear that she hadn't got what Molly asked and honestly she was at her last nerve with Maisie. Today was hard enough without a girl pushing every one of Molly's nerves in to overdrive.
"What do you think I am? I don't get your stuff so why don't you get off my back!" Maisie stormed out of the tent and didn't see the look of anger on Molly's face.
Molly stitched up the cut on the guys arm before she let one of the other medic's take over and then she left the tent to go and find Maisie because there was no way in hell she was going to let that girl talk to her like that. When she found Maisie she started heading for her "Oi!" Molly said angrily
"Oh don't start" Maisie looked over at Molly and then stopped what she was doing. "I don't need you on my back anymore than I need anything else"
"What the hell was that about? You don't have a go at anyone in front people that are trying to get medical help, I don't know what Georgie taught you or what she done if you did this but I am not Georgie. She might take the crap from you but I'm not going to"
"No, you're right you're not Georgie, you're the bosses ex wife and now I can see why he actually thought to include you, probably wants to get you back in the sack but I won't take any shit from you"
Molly scoffed and shook her head, this fucking girl was pushing her passed the norm and she wanted to slap her gobby mouth but at the same time she wouldn't do that in front anyone. "We are here to work and help people out not gob off in front of them and you don't speak to me like that do you understand?"
But before Maisie could actually answer a call went up in the shape of someone calling for a medic. Molly looked over in the direction of where the call had come from, she then turned to look at Maisie "Get my bag" she said and pointed to the medical tent before she went running off in the direction of the guard.
The problem with this place was that it was open and they needed a guard on the medical tent at all times to make sure that none of the kit got nicked. Like Captain James had said everyone was desperate and if they weren't getting the medical attention that quickly then they would take matters in to their own hands.
When Molly got to the guard and the man on the ground she quickly put her gloves on that she had pulled from her pocket and started to check the man on the ground but... there wasn't anything wrong with him. In fact he was actually alive. She felt a gun poke into her stomach and she brought her eyes up to look at the man standing over her but also the man that was on the ground and there were grins pulling at their mouths.
They had caught themselves a medic and all she could think was: Don't let me die here, let me get back home to him.
Maisie ran out of the tent with the bag and started to run in the direction of where she had seen the medic go.
"What's going on Maisie?" Brains asked as he caught up with her. "You running away with Molly's bag?"
"She needs it, come on you can help seeing as you're not doing anything.. FINGERS COME ON" she called behind her but as they got closer to where Molly had been or at least the direction that she had gone in they found that it was empty. That Molly wasn't there and there didn't seem to be anyone there at all.
Both Brains and Fingers started looking around and in unison they called Molly's name. They looked in different places around where Maisie had said she was or at least indicated where Molly would be and they couldn't find her at all. This definitely wasn't good at all.
Fingers walked over to Maisie "Are you sure that she came this way? That she wanted the bag? And you're not just pulling our legs?"
"No, Fingers, I swear that she wanted her bag because a guard had called her over so she came in this direction"
"Why did you let her go alone, Richards?" Fingers said angrily.
"Molly told me to get her bag from the tent, I didn't let her go alone she told me to do something and I did it for once, you guys should be looking after her too but you're to busy piss-assing about and now you're blaming all of this on me"
Brains sighed "Someone is going to have to tell Bossman" he looked over at the two who were standing there arguing. They needed to get someone out there looking for her. They needed to get Molly back right now.
That was one conversation that wasn't going to go down well at all especially seeing as Captain James still had a soft spot for Molly and now she was gone he would move heaven and hell just to get her back. They all walked from the spot relunctantly because they didn't want to leave Molly behind but she wasn't here. She wasn't anywhere right now and there was more than one way out of this place and it felt like that they wouldn't have known if Richards hadn't had gone for the bag.
Fingers found Captain James and pulled him to one said. Maisie and Brains watched as his features changed and then he started to give orders about looking for her. They needed to find her.
"What is going on?" one of the helpers asked as they came out of the tent and saw the activity that was going on.
"Our medic is missing, she went to help someone and now she's gone" Brains answered but didn't look up, instead he was putting his helmet on as they were moving out to look for Molly, there was no way that they were going to let her go missing and not go looking for her. They did for Georgie and they will for Molly and they will do it for any one of them that went missing.
"You sure she didn't just get up and leave on her own?"
"You don't know her, she would never do that, so while you're disrespecting our medic we're going to look for her" Brains snapped.
"Lets go mate" Monk pushed him away from the helper and in the direction of where they would be starting their proper search.
-.-
2-Section searched for Molly everywhere they could get to but there wasn't any sign of her. It was literally like she had vanished and with every lack of sighting for her Captain James was starting to unravel because he had brought Molly here and she had now disappeared and because of the fact that she was also his ex wife. He still loved Molly and he didn't want to imagine anything happening to her.
It felt like he kept losing his medics on every tour they went on and now his ex wife was missing and he felt anger at himself for letting her go alone to that bloody guard who was now starting to feel like a fraud.
Captain James got on the wire straight to London and told them about Molly and they said that they would notify her parents and that filled him with dread too. Someone knocking on Belinda and Dave's door to tell them that their daughter was missing. He would rather have done it himself but he was here feeling complately useless because the one woman he loved more than anything was gone... again.
The team was starting to feel the anger inside of themselves too. They had searched for hours for Molly and nothing, they couldn't even find any trace of her. Fingers was sat with his head in his hands, his fingers going through his short hair and Brains had his hands together at his mouth with his elbows on his thighs.
"Won't they have to call in Special Forces?" Maisie asked after a quiet moment and looked towards the others. "It could be Elvis again..."
"He's doing SAS selection training back in Hereford, it won't be him. Like Georgie he promised to be stationed in the UK," Brains spoke quietly and looked over at Maisie. "No, it'll be someone else"
Maisie looked over at Captain James who was on the phone again but this time it looked like he was losing his cool. "He's unravelling" she muttered and nudged her head in the direction of where Captain James was by the jeep.
"You can't blame him," Monk replied after a moment "Molly was his ex wife, just because they split and got a divorce it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about her still; anyone would probably be going out of their head."
-.-
She slowly started to come around, there was a pain in her head and she slowly reached up to where the pain was and put her hand against the spot but when Molly pulled her hand away she expected blood but there wasn't anything. She remembered getting a hit over the head and actually thought maybe the blow had been that bad that they might've caused it to bleed but there wasn't anything.
Molly sat up and found that she was in a small room, her back hit the wall... no not a room.. a cage. She was in a cage and before she even had been taken she knew it was for nothing good and this just confirmed her thought. Molly tried to stand up but her head felt a bit heavy so she just stayed sitting. There was a noise to her right and she looked in that direction but it was either a little dark or her eyesight was still affected by the hit.
"Hello.." She called out and moved closer to her right to the side of the cage. "Is there anyone there"
But silence hit her again and for the first time in a very long time she actually felt like pulling her legs up to her chest and holding on to herself so that she could try. Molly didn't know where she was, didn't know whether the guys would be able to find her in time before anything happened and she was frightened that she would never go home to see him again.
Molly didn't want to die here, not here of all places. She didn't want this to be the last place that she ever saw.
Strands of her dark hair was falling out of her braid and down her face, it even tickled her neck. She ran her hands down herself and found that she was still in her uniform. Molly still had her Army uniform on.
That was good. She thinks it is anyway. Or it could be very very bad. Either way something told her that she wouldn't be getting out of this place for a while...
If ever.
