Brodie's POV:

Riley and I are sitting in the diner, drinking coffee waiting for Brax to arrive. Half an hour passes, and still no sign... so I make the decision... the cop is going to die!

"Alright Riley... let's go... we have other business we need to attend to now... Brax had his chance"...

We leave the diner and it doesn't take long before we are at the house again... I can tell that something has happened. The door is wide open, and Tegan, although she is the meaning of dumb blonde, she knows not to leave it open.

We walk in to the house and see a frantic Tegan pacing up and down with her mobile phone in her hand... the bitch copper is nowhere to be seen... maybe she's still in the room that we first locked her in?

"Oh my god! Brodie!" she says frantically... "I was just trying to call you...Brax, he found us, he took Charlie... there wasn't anything I could do to stop him... sorry brodie... but he would've hurt me!"

"Great... now we have no leverage... which means Brax has won... what do we do now?" I reply to her frantic jabbering... I sit on the lounge, and think of what to do next...

Brax's POV:

I speed to the hospital with Charlie slouched on the passenger seat. On the way I call Ruby and Casey, tell them about Charlie's state, and they decide to meet us at the hospital. I pull up in the emergency drive way, and call the attention of the doctors.

" Help! Anyone... I need help here!" I say as I lift Charlie out of the car, still unconscious.

My shouting is noticed by Sid and he and other nurses advance towards me with a stretcher.

"What happened?" Sid asks, seeing Charlie's poor state of health, the back of her head bleeding, her face bruised.

"I don't know...I...I... I just found her like this..."I say, my voice shaky. "Is she going to be okay Sid? Is she going to be okay?"

"It's too soon to tell just yet." He says as he carries Charlie away. "You just take a seat in the waiting room, and I'll let you know as soon as there is any news... I suggest you call her family to let them know that she is here..."

I stare at Charlie being carried away until they turn the corner and she is no longer visible... she is going to be okay! I say to myself... she has to be okay! My emotions begin to get the better of me, and I break down in tears... she has to be okay!
