I was and still am having problems with computer and deleting files so didn't think updating was appropriate but here's a nice long chapter for you. Please review x
"What are we going to do now then? When mum wakes up?" Abi asked Phil as he drove. She was sat in the middle seat in the back of the car, leaning forward.
"I really don't know." Phil sighed and looked worriedly across at Sam, sitting in the passenger seat limply. "Abs - "
"It's Abi!" Abi cut over him, shuddering at the name.
"Oh sorry it's just Hugh ..."
Seeing where the sentece was going she answered with: "Yeah well Hugh calls mum Sammy but it doesn't man she likes it. She claims that it sounds more like a cat."
Phil laughed. "Yes it does ... Abi," Phil staretd again. "On the floor there's my mobile phone, switch it off and take the battery out."
Abi did as instructed. "Done, now why did I do that?"
"So Sun Hill can't trace us through it, they have amazing technology that can pick up signals and a rough circle of activity from a phone with a battery in." Phil replied.
"Ah. Well under different circumstances; cool. In times like this; clever thinking!" Abi commented. "Where are going then?"
"I'm not entirely sure. If we go somewhere with significance then it may jog her memory into thinking about everything that's happened and what Hugh's done. What about Pat Kitson's neighbours house?" Phil suggested.
"Are you kidding?! She'll wake up and have a panic attack!" Abi stated laughing.
"Good point. Baxters?"
"Baxter will be there." Abi said uncertainly.
"Yeah but in a way him and your mum are kind of close, they understand each other. He'll let us stay there won't he?" Phil asked, starting to doubt his idea.
"I don't know, why don't we wait for mum to wake up and ask her?" Abi asked with friendly sarcasm.
Phil laughed. "You have your mothers wit."
There was a short silence, broken by Abi saying: "Are you going to tell her that you love her after this has hopefully all finished?"
"Don't really know, depends how this all pans out I guess and whether I have the courage to say anything at all." Phil admitted.
Abi smiled then sighed. "People say I'm so much like her, I wish I was more like her though actually. She's so brave and strong and independant.. Well, she appears to be independant. I know she isn't really, I know she longs to be loved like everyone else but hides it behind her stubborness."
Phil looked back at her. "Hey, you're a strong person too. Very strong for your age. And it takes a strong person to stand up to Hugh and try to win your mum back like this. She's lucky to have you - even if she doesn't know it at the moment. Anyway, lets focus on where we're going to hide out just for now."
"How about the container yard?" Abi asked smartly.
"Put her in a container?" Phil asked confused.
"No!" Abi laughed. "They have a work station there with a tea room for the blokes when there on break. There's like a small kitchen, sofa, one of them portable heater things. We could hide there with her. It's Tuesday and I know that they don't work on Wednesday plus..." she looked at her watch, "they'd have finished work by now so we can break in without anyone seeing. They don't bother with security."
"How do you know all this?" Phil asked mesmorised by all the information.
"Hugh, he had to find the right day to put me in the container."
"You are a smart girl Abi." Phil grinned and drove towards the container yard.
Hugh stood in Sun Hill Police station reception area, waiting for Jack to give him an update on his abducted girlfriend. Jack greeted him politely.
"Screw formalities Jack, where's Sam?" Hugh asked impatiently.
"I'm organising searches for Samantha, Phil and Abigail. We're checking each of their houses, all the B and B's in the area as well as local Hotel's." Jack informed him.
"And how long's that going to take eh? They could be anywhere. Honestly Jackhow did you let this happen? Phil is your officer, your responsibility. You knew he wasn't happy about Sam and I having a relationship. You should have watched him closer.
Phil probably abducted Abs and then Sam to begin with, when his plan to force Sam into a relationship didn't work and she turned to me instead he got jealous and has convinced Abs now." Hugh speculated.
Jack didn't want to admit it but Hugh's story did sound a little likely. What with Phil hurling accusations at Hugh most days, Abi's sudden change in behaviour added to the new tension between Sam and Phil. However, something certainly wasn't right. Jack had a sneaking suspicion that Phil and Hugh were just rival lovers trying to blame whatever they could on the other.
However it didn't explain Phil and Abi taking Sam, Phil would only do something that rash if he truly believed Sam was in danger, right?
"This is all going to end in tears ..." Jack muttered under his breath. "Mainly Sam's."
Sam Sam groaned quietly, Abi ran towards her. Sam was laying on the sofa in the tea room at the container yard's workers station, a blanket had been thrown over her to keep her warm. Abi had been discussing with Phil what they were going to do and what they were going to say to her.
"Hey mum." Abi spoke softly. Sam groaned in response, still half asleep. Her eyelids were heavy and she fell into a deep sleep again. "Oh Phil, look at what Hugh's done to her."
"I know Abi." Phil sighed. "But the damage runs deeper doesn't it? There's the brainwahsing and the baby. Sam seems to think Hugh's brilliant and kind. We need to make her realise the truth. I think now is our last chance."
"Tell me about it!"
'I'm exhausted, I can hear Abigail and Phil around me but can't listen to what they're saying or respond. What the hell have they done to me?!'
'I'm furious! How dare Phil and his brand new sidekick break into my house and abduct my fiancee. I really want, I really need to find them. If they undo all my careful work then I'm screwed!'
'I'm worried, Sam looks ill. I don't believe Hugh would go and drug Sam again! He could kill her at this rate, especially with her being pregnant. I hope Abi and I can get through to her before the "cavalry" arrive. First and probably last time I'd ever not want the police to find me.'
'I'm anxious, Hugh keeps breathing down my sodding neck about being a good DCI and finding Sam before it's too late. He's acting like they'd kill her. He seems a little bit angry too. But then can you blame him? Maybe he's only like this because of he's worried.'
'I'm scared, mainly for mum. A little about the consequences. What will we say when mum wakes up? Will she listen? Will we get through to her? I love her so very much, I'm just scared for her . I want her and I to be mother and daughter again.'
As you've read a couple of oneshot sentences there. In case you didn't realise it went Sam, Hugh, Phil, Jack and then Abi. Please review x x
