Chapter 11 ~ Escape

You had been called to testify in court at your husband's trial which you found very distressing, supported by father Brown and Ms Mccarthy you still where shaking when you stood to the stand.

Looking down you saw your husband, gripping the box, he looked up at you, his eyes without his usual twinkle.

You gave your statement to the court, telling them the events before the murder.

You sat down, worried, the witnesses where making Tom out to seem like he did murder the boy. Soon the verdict was heard, that he was found guilty and would be sent to the higher courts.

You stifled a sob as he looked at you solemnly, father brown put a reassuring hand on your shoulder as you watched Tom leave the court room.

'There is nothing for us to do but pray and investigate for ourselves' the father said as your walked out with him.

'your right' you say, wiping another tear.

'come on, Ms Mccarthy has some tea on, you need to rest' the father said.

Lady Felecia and Sid picked the two of you up and drove you back to the rectory.

A day passed, before you heard of a dangerous man who had escaped jail and was on the lose 'it can't be him' you said to yourself, over and over until he walked into the kitchen with father brown.

'Tom' you shouted, running up to him and hugging him deeply.

You let go, with tons of questions in your head.

'(y/n), I'm glad you're here' he said. His hands where handcuffed together and he was dirty and cut all over.

You sit him down and grab some food, father brown called lady Felecia and Sid who arrived shortly after.

You had resorted to sitting next to him, feeding the food into his mouth due to his hands in handcuffs, he had found out awkward but it was the only way for him to eat.

'the two love birds back together i see' Sid said laughing as he walked in with lady Felecia.

You gave Sid a annoyed look but stood up, allowing Sid to sit and unlock the handcuffs. 'thanks' Tom mumbles and he explained everything that happened.

As soon as he finished you immediately told him to have a shower and go to bed, protesting from both Sid who wanted some other parts of the story and Tom who said wasn't tired. You ignored his grumbles and got him in the shower and then you led him to the guest bedroom.

You pushed him in the bed and joined him. 'Sleep, you deserve it' you mumble to him, kissing him on the forehead.

Tom groans in reply but nods, relaxing and hugging you back.

You woke to see a still sleeping Tom, looking at the clock you decide to wake him, slowly shaking him. He groaned in pain, obviously his legs and his wrists hurt from yesterday.

Gently you hugged him 'It will be okay' you whisper to him, pulling him from the bed. He nods and you get changed and walk down stairs.

It was agreed with much annoyance from you that Sid and Tom would break back into the police station. You agreed but was worried and hugged Tom for dear life before leaving,

You bit your lip and paced when Tom was gone, not able to calm down. When he came back and announced he was going to the train station to pick up a bag you tried to stop him,

'you could get caught, please, stay, let the father do it' you say as he walked out the door.

He turned and kissed you gently 'I will be fine' he mumerd before waking out.

Soon father brown also walked out, leaving you in complete anxiety, ms Mccarthy tried to calm you but you where at a breaking point.

You decide to do something about it, running out of the house you go to the station, you see policeman swarming around, walking down the track you see Tom, a policeman walking towards him.

'Officer!' you cry, the policeman turned round and Tom jumped for the bike.

'oh sorry officer, I thought I saw a man fitting the description of the prisoner running that direction' you said pointing in a diffrent direction of Tom.

'thank you mam' the officer said, running towards the direction you pointed.

You ran the way that Tom cycled, hoping to stop him from doing anything stupid, reaching the country road you saw the father and Tom cycling down the road, being chased down by a car, you could do nothing but watch as they reached the tunnel and the two of them stopped.

Running up behind the woman you tackled her to the ground, the gun fell onto the ground and was picked up my Tom, pointing it at the woman.

Inspector Truman walked up and arrested her.

You fell into Tom's arms, he held you tightly.
