Thanks for the reviews everyone. It's great to see you seem to enjoy this. I can try to make it a bit more longer and a bit more action/ drama but hey no promises
….
Waking up the next morning and seeing that Lawson was sleeping on the floor she had to bite back the laughter that was bound to come out at the sight of him.
Getting out of the bed quietly so she didn't wake him up, Shannon stretched out and headed out of the room.
Heading towards the kitchen Shannon went and made herself a coffee before she went to drink it in front of the TV. But she stopped short of the lounge room as she noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor that had been placed under the door. Curious as to see what it was thinking it was for Leon she placed her coffee down before bending down to pick it up.
Reading it she let out a gasp and stood there staring at it.
"Hey Shannon, what's that you got in your hands?" Lawson asked walking up to her.
Still to shocked to speak, Shannon had a blank look on her face.
"Shannon, what's wrong, what is it?" Lawson asks her and she just hands him the letter.
"What the fuck, has he lost his fucking mind; we need to put a stop to this Shannon." Lawson yells and she takes a step back in fright.
Hearing Lawson yelling, Leon rushed out of his bedroom and said "Calm down will you Lawson, you scaring the crap out of her, what's going on?"
"This is what's going on." Lawson says angrily shoving the letter under Leon's nose.
Reading the letter, Leon puts it in a bag and says "I'm keeping it for evidence, don't worry Shannon, we will get a restraining order put out on him okay, his not going to come anywhere near you or harm you, isn't that right Lawson?" Leon says glaring at Lawson to give him the hint that Shannon needs some reassurance.
"Yeah, Leon's right, your safe with us, you won't ever be alone okay." Lawson says pulling her into a hug and rubbing soothing circles on her back.
"I'm just going to call Kerry, won't be long." Leon says.
"Your going to be okay Shannon, I swear I won't ever let him hurt you okay, his going to stop following you, your staying somewhere else tonight, Leon's isn't safe anymore, I will speak to the team today okay." Lawson says.
"Stella's." Shannon mutters into his chest.
"You want to stay at Stella's?" He asks her.
"Yeah, I mean it's safer, she doesn't work with us so he probably isn't staking out her place, depends if she is okay with it." Shannon says pulling away.
"I will call her once we get to base okay, everything will be okay." Lawson says resting her forehead against hers and trying to reassure himself.
"I better get ready for work." She says.
"Yeah, you don't have to come out on the road today; you can stay at base with Kerry and Leon." Lawson says.
"Nah I rather keep my mind busy so I will be with you okay." Shannon says before heading to the room to get changed and grab her stuff for Stella's.
Once they had gotten to base the three of them were greeted by Kerry standing in the car park waiting for them.
"How are you Shannon?" Kerry asks as they all walk into base.
"I will be okay." Shannon says.
"Well I already have some staff working on this, a restraining order has been filed, I'm trying to get it approved quicker, Leon isn't too far off from gaining access to the medical files either so we should start getting some answers soon, where are you staying now?" Kerry asks as they all sit down.
"I was about to call Stella and ask her." Lawson says just as the rest of the team walk in.
"Already did that Lawson, it made more sense for her to stay there, less chances he will follow her there on the first night, his probably staking out Leon's, Stella is cool with it, she's aware you will be staying as well, I figured wherever Shannon went you would or have one of us with her." Michael says.
"Thanks Michael." Shannon says while Lawson nods his head at Michaels statement.
"Kerry called us in early to bring us up to speed on this." Josh says.
"You didn't have to do that Kerry." Shannon says.
"They wanted to be kept informed especially after the hospital yesterday." Kerry says.
"well I'm going to get changed into my gear and call Stella, go over things with her." Shannon says getting up.
"Alright, debrief is in 15 minutes Shannon so just keep that in mind okay." Kerry says in a soft tone.
"I will be 10 minutes tops." Shannon says walking out.
"So how is she really?" Christian asks.
"A bit shaken up which is to be expected but otherwise she seems to be doing okay." Lawson says.
"How serious do you think he was when he wrote that he would be coming back after her?" Michael asks.
"Pretty serious, like I said yesterday I don't know that much about him but when it is to do with Shannon his serious." Lawson says.
"His a sick bastard, a sick twisted bastard, Shannon doesn't deserve this, nobody deserves to have a father who treats them that way." Dom says.
"Yeah well keep those comments to yourself; she doesn't need a constant reminder about this." Josh says before getting up to get ready.
"His right, let's just not bring it up and go get ready yeah." Christian says also getting up and one by one they head to the change rooms.
"Stella is picking us up from here at the shift and we have a plan worked out." Shannon says.
"What's the plan?" Lawson asks.
"You will find out when she picks us up tonight." Shannon says.
"If you say so." Lawson says laughing at her.
"Oh crap I left something in Leon's car; I will be back in a minute." Shannon says and heads towards the Intel office.
"Hey Leon chuck us your keys, I left something in your car." Shannon says.
"Think fast." He says throwing them at her which she catches.
"Awesome catch." He says.
"Thanks." Shannon says with a smile over her shoulder as she walks out.
Heading out to the car park Shannon doesn't see her father who is standing next to the entrance.
"I told you I would come back for you." Her dad says.
"You need to leave." Shannon says cursing herself mentally for not putting on her gun belt before she left.
"Either you come with me quietly or I hurt you." Her dad says.
"I would never leave with you." Shannon says.
"I'm giving you one more chance Shannon, now what is your answer, think about this." Her dad says.
"NO." She yells at him and he walks up to her and knocks her over the head with a hammer.
"Where is Shannon, she said she would be on time for this debrief." Kerry says.
"She went to my car, about 5 minutes ago." Leon says.
"I'm going out there." Lawson says.
"I'm coming with you." Josh and Christian say getting up.
"I said you would hurt you and now I will." Her dad says laying it into her a couple of times before starting to drag her away from base.
"Get your hands off her." Lawson says aiming his gun at her dad with Josh following suit.
"Oh no, look out you have me surrounded." Her dad said dropping her and put his hands up in mock surrender before turning around to run and Christian pelted down the road after him.
"Check on Shannon, we got this." Josh says before running after Christian.
"I'm so sorry Shannon, what did he do to you?" Lawson says to her unconscious form.
"Leon, we need ambos to base, Shannon has been assaulted, Lawson is with her, we are currently chasing her dad, and we may need someone in the car to help with pursuit." Josh says into his coms.
"Copy that Josh, where are you?" Leon asks while both Dom and Michael run to the car.
