Chenford discovering love

A poetic ending for lucy or is it...

Her eyes burned she squinted her dry mouth and wet hair made her head spin. She tried to sit up but she was tied to the table. Where am I she thought.

Tim had sounded the alarm after 1 hour he had made his way to the station Angela and Nyla had joined he passed a sleeping Liv to Wes who put her next to a sleeping jack. They left the kids with Wes as they went out to the overflow car park. There's her car Tim said and her phone ange said they looked around LUCY Angela called

Um guys Nyla said pointing to the ground both tim and Angela ran over is that blood ? The trio stood shocked. Crime scene people came in and swept the scene. The gang got to work trying to figure out where Lucy was.

A slam jolted Lucy awake her eyes darting around the room. She tried to calm her breathing as a shadowy figure made their way towards her. He dragged a knife across her leg and she inhaled then her eyes widened. She knew this face.

Caleb she said.
Well hi there apologies for the bat to the head but look we are finally alone. I have been watching you for a long time.
Lucy felt a wave of sickness at that thought. What do you mean she said. Well we've been trying to get you for a looong time. Remember the shooting in the pub I lost well we meaning Rosalind and myself lost two good men that say but we thought we got your partner we thought we had managed that. Then he survived. So plan b it was.
He traced his hand over her stomach. When you went into labour we sent more people we thought we had you then. But no. His face red with anger.
We decided I had to be smarter; how was I going to get close to you? A solid question I thought then Tim went missing and I waited and waited he wasn't coming back. I introduced myself gave you my number and waited but clearly you weren't taken aback with me. It was your child. That's what was stopping you. So I visited the station risky I know but you had to not see me as a threat. I was charming and you fell for it agreeing to a date. This was my moment then Tim was back and it's like I didn't exist so I had to take drastic measures he said swooping his arm imitating the bat hitting Lucy's head.
Lucy had tears spilling out of her eyes. Well well the strong Lucy Chen cry's.
What are you going to do. Not me Caleb said this is what Rosalind said was destined for you after all you started working on her case it's almost poetic isn't it. He said stabbing the knife into her abdomen.
Her cries echoed. I'm just waiting for her instruction he said.

Back at the station gray handed Tim a cup of coffee. Come look at the cctv with us. Angela and Tim studied it when they saw a man appear with a bat. Angela paused it look she smiled and her hand had moved like a wave I think she knew them.
They saw it. The bat colliding with her head. Lucy fell forward. Tim looked away wiping his eyes Angela still fixed on the small screen. Tim she was still conscious look Tim's eyes shot back to the screen watching Lucy try to stand and then get hit again made him vomit. That was a hard hit he said turning to Angela. She's strong Tim Angela said rubbing his arm. I I can't lose her he said hey pulling him in you won't. We are going to find her Angela said. Tim sat at his computer researching when an email popped through

A poetic ending for Lucy
Calls for celebration my end
Steel bars and her last breath
I have taken one of yours.

R C

Tim read it and re read it. He shouted Angela and Nyla. The minute they read this Rosalind they both said. It's a chasing game Nyla thought she won't be far. When a cat taunts their prey they never let it get far. Angela sat looking at the screen C who was C. Angela stood up CALEB she shouted.
All three had began researching where Caleb could be.

Lucy looked around her breathing was hitched her stomach hurt her head throbbed. Caleb untied her wrists and put cable ties on them right ready to go Lucy looked at him. Well you're the expert on Rosalind Caleb said looking at her. How does she do it. Lucy muttered a single word

Barrel.

He grabbed her throat and shoved her to the floor taking his knife out again yes a barrel he said but we are going to have some fun first.

Why me she said. Your life has never been easy yet you always fought to keep going. That's the thing Rosalind wants to destroy. Hope. You are the person who best represents hope. With you gone everything will fall apart bye bye to your family.

I've got a location Angela shouted she's 10 minutes away. Tim bent down and kissed his daughter. They all got in the shop and drove.
The drive was silent everyone thinking the worst but not saying it.

AGGHHHH Lucy screamed as Caleb stabbed her again in her stomach. He must've caught an artery as blood came out quickly. Lucy's breathing became faster she tried moving her hands but the cable ties dug into her skin. just then a shot was fired. Caleb fell next to lucy. She screamed out of fear shaking her cries could be heard. Panic was taking over until a familiar face met her eyes TIMMMM she screamed Angela looked at Lucy im sorry this is going to hurt. Angela put pressure on my wound. Lucy screamed an ear piercing scream. N-no I-it h-hu-hurts Lucy said Tim ran in seeing Lucy's blood and her so fragile he ran next to her hey baby baby look at me. He moved Lucy's face to meet his we've got you it's okay Bailey ran in and took over plugging her wounds and stabilising her to ride to the hospital. While in the ambulance her eyes started shutting Luce hun you know the drill stay awake. He's hands gentle on her face. Lucy muttered you are my hope. He reached in and kissed her lips. His panic was there he was on high alert.
After arriving Tim was left with the agonising wait. He got the all clear to see her he ran in and held her his heart calming when he smelt coconut. He breathed her in. They stayed in each other's arms.
Tim looked at her she was weak her smile was tired.
a week past and she was starting to look more like Lucy. Tim walked in with Liv. My girl she beamed mummy dada up up her little legs squirming as soon as she met the bed her arms hugged her mother. Mummy dada Liv home now. Tim kissed both Liv and Lucy and they smiled Liv rested her head on Lucy and she let out a sigh of relief
