Thankies to Ami who helped by giving me spoilers of the episode I'm STILL waiting to watch after overa year.
Btw Emma: I was just saying in the first chapter that Abi was in the container but wasn't running out of oxygen.
Thanks to everyone that reviewed the last chapter purlease keep them coming.
"Disturbance been reported at 57 Bourne Road, a neighbour reported shouting and a man who'd been round a lot recently leaving."
Phil Hunter stopped talking as he heard the message crackle through Gina Gold's radio, he was in her office discussing how sick Sam was making herself with worry. He knew that address, it was Sam's address.
"I'll go, that's Sam's house." He said quickly walking towards her door and opening it.
"Ok I'll call it in." She said watching him go.
Fifteen minutes later Phil was knocking on her front door, when no answer he came he went roudn to the side of the house, climbed over the fence and went to peer in a kitchen window. He was about to turn away when he saw a leg, moving his position he saw her. Sitting propped up against the wall lifelessly.
Seeing that the window above the sink was open he climbed in and stepped one foot into a bowl full of water. He swore and pulled out his soaked foot. He jumped down to the kitchen floor and ran over to Sam, crouching and trying to make sense out of her. He cupped her face with his hands gently.
"C'mon Sam, wake up. Tell me what's happened?" Phil noticed how she smelt of alcohol, and realised that she was holding on to a whiskey bottle loosely that was almost empty. He took the bottle and placed it on the floor beside her and hoisted her up. He helped her walk into her lounge and sat her down on the sofa. He sat next to her and held her in his arms while she mumbled: "He's going to hurt her. He's got her."
"Who's got her Sam? Are you talking about Abi? Who's got Abi?" Phil asked but he didn't get a reply, she fallen asleep still laying in his arms. He couldn't move now she was in his arms, but he wouldn't have wanted to leave her anyway.
He strked her hair gently while she slept and realised how much of a mess Sam really was. She was the lost wreak of the old Samantha Nixon, the old woman was so strong and bold, now she had been destroyed by loss and depression.
In the end he just fell asleep too, it was dark outside anyway and it made more sense for him to stay with her.
Phil woke up to the sound of Sam being terribly sick. Not a sound he wanted to hear first thing in the morning but what else had he expected after the amount Sam had drunk? She was sat on the floor with the bin in front of her being sick, Phil walked over and held her hair back from her face and firing target. When she was done she sat back with some sort of relief.
"I feel better now, thank you for that."
"It's alright." He replied massaging his neck that was sore from sleeping on the sofa.
"Ummmm, I'm sorry about the state I was in last night." Sam said embarrassed.
"Hey don't worry about it." He said then remembered something. "It may have just been drunk ramblings but last night you said that 'he's got her' and 'he's going to hurt her' what was it all about?"
"I can only tell you if you promise me I can trust you." Sam said unsure of whether she could or not, forgetting he was actually a close friend at the moment.
"I promise you, you can trust me." He smiled.
Sam took a deep steadying breath. "I know who's taken Abi."
"Who?" Phil asked.
"Hugh." Sam said quietly on the verge of tears. "You were right."
Phil remembered the day he'd attempted to voice his suspicions about Hugh to her.
Phil had hold of Sam's hand, it sent tingles through his arm as he dragged her along to the empty soft interview room. He shut the door and they both sat down.
"So, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Sam asked.
"I don't know how to put this, and I know hes your friend but there's something I don't like about him. He's a creep -"
"He's my friend." Sam interrupted him. "And he's been helping a lot."
"Sam -"
"No!" She interrupted again standing up. "If I was you'd I'd keep your 'suspicions' to yourself. I'm warning you Phil if you scare Hugh away then we're not friends anymore. He's my one hope to find Abi."
Phil opened his mouth to reply when the door swung open. Hugh had been secretly listening at the door.
"Oh sorry am I interrupting?"
"No, go ahead." Sam replied.
"I was just thinking I should take you home, you look like you need to rest and sleep. C'mon." He held out his arm, she walked over and he tucked her under his arm leading them out, Phil watched from the soft interview room doorway, as they got to the front enterance Hugh shot a look backwards and smirked at Phil.
