A/N Sorry if this doesn't make sense. And sorry for the spelling mistakes
London.
Gene stared at the road. His face was full of emotions. Anger and shock being the strongest. He walked into CID his face was enough to stop anyone to try and talk to him. He walked into the office and stopped. Something was wrong, it was a little quiet. There was no Shaz typing on her typewriter. There was no Chris and Ray laughing and playing with a ball. And there was no Alex sitting at her desk threatening Chris and Ray. He walked back outside to the front desk.
"Where is everyone Viv?" Gene asked his voice dangerous.
Viv visibly gulped. "They said something about, having to do something important. And the boss said to tell you that she left a message with Luigi for you. And-" His face paled as he delivered the message. "She said to tell you that. 'She needed good wheels and that you would thank her for it.' She took the Quatro sir." He smartly took a step back from the Guv's now murderous face.
He hurried into Luigi's he saw straight away that there was a letter with his name on it sitting on the counter. He could see that it was Alex's handwriting. The letter read,
Gene
I know you are angry, but I swear you will thank me for this. You didn't listen but I won't let you put my friend in danger. I am going to save someone and because they know that you would want this, Chris, Ray and Shaz are coming with me. We will be back in two days. Don't even think of trying to stop us. Or you will be very sorry; he will probably die if you stop us. Thank you for the Quatro. I need to get to Manchester fast and this is the easiest way. I'm sorry, but you didn't listen.
Alex
Gene crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it over his shoulder. He scowled, This man better be good or Alex was going to be sorry. She had two days or she would be without a job.
Manchester
Alex stood outside Salford Quays the last place Sam Tyler went. She looked at her team. Shaz's hair was a little messy from the car trip, Chris looked a little tired and Ray was alert and ready his hand hovering over his gun.
"I know you're tired, but this is the only thing that will let us have jobs when we get back to London. If we come back empty-handed the Guv is not going to be happy. However we can do this." Alex looked at their faces there was hope there and she could tell that each of them would do whatever it took to get Sam back. "I am not asking you to do this for me or for the Guv. You do this because we need our friend back. We will save Sam Tyler."
"Good speech, Boss." Chris said after a moment.
"Let's go." Ray ordered.
They burst through the doors. There was a collection of goons inside they looked up in shock at the figures in front of them.
"We are here for Sam Tyler." Alex spoke in a cold, commanding voice.
"You'll have to get through us, little lady" Said one of the largest men stepping forward and reaching out to touch Alex's face.
The group tensed. "Oh, I kind of wanted you to say that." Alex punched the man, hard. He reeled back and Chris and Ray quickly dealt with most of the group. One man broke free from the group and lunged at Shaz.
"Shazzer!" Chris yelled a warning. The man reached Shaz and attempted to grab her. Chris ran towards her but stopped when he heard a gunshot. Alex kicked the man she was fighting to the ground and whirled around.
The man who had attacked Shaz turned around; there was blood on his chest. Then he fell to the floor. "We said we want Sam Tyler." Shaz stepped over the body, gun raised. The remaining men looked at her in terror; she blew smoke from the end of her gun. The men fled running over their fallen colleagues as they went.
Shaz ran into Chris's arms after the last man left. She sobbed in shock. Alex nodded; she understood how the girl felt. Alex herself had fainted after she had first shot someone. Chris gently raised his arms around Shaz and carefully comforted her. ``Shaz, Chris when you feel up to it call an ambulance and get these people looked after.
Together she and Ray walked further in to the building. It was still a construction site; however she could tell that the goons had been there for some time. They turned around a corner and saw a fenced off area, it reminded Alex of a cell. She nodded to Ray to bust the lock on the door.
As the lock fell Alex heard a movement from inside the cell. A voice harsh from lack of use called to them ``Come to torture me again?" Ray took a step forward.
``Sam? `` Ray asked his normally rough voice, full of caution and hope.
``Ray? Oh my god. You came. `` The man in the depths of the cell moved and came forward. As he entered the light Alex gasped and ran forwards. She flung her arms around the neck of the man that stood there. She kissed his cheek and smiled before letting go of his neck to look at his face.
``No way! `` Sam said ``Alex! Alex Drake! `` She nodded and he pulled her into another hug spinning her around him. He set her down and stared at her in surprise ``What the hell are you doing in 1983?"
