Part 47
Sharon- what’s going – on Jake?
Jake watched Chrissie and resisted the urge to run over and fold her into his comforting arms, I’m not sure
Sharon- not sure?
Jake- I’m not a medical expert Sharon, I don’t know how their treating him
Sharon- I’m sorry
Jake- look he’ll be fine, there was a lot of smoke, probably just inhaled loads like you did
Sharon smiled falsely at him knowing something was seriously wrong with Dennis, her Dennis
Danny- what’s going Freya? I can’t understand any of this
Freya sat in the plastic char next to Danny’s bed, her face covered in black, I’m sorry, so so sorry, I didn’t know, the tears fell freely over her face it was the only way she could express the sorrow she felt.
Danny- what are you sorry for? Your brother’s the maniac
Freya- but he didn’t this because of me, because he can’t help it, because he’s ill
Danny- he’s one of those blokes who like love and worship fire right?
Freya shook her head, it was too late her new start, new life was ruined and the people affected needed to know why they were put at risk too. He’s mentally ill Danny, he has been for a long time
Danny- how long?
Freya- as long as I can remember, he was 7 when I was born, I always remember him being Ill, doing weird things, minor stuff at first never thought much of it till, till the night…

Danny- and?
Chrissie- I’m going with him, go with Sharon
Jake- are you ok?
Chrissie- just keep her clam ok? She climbed into the back off Dennis’s ambulance to sit next to Dennis’s bed
Jake- I’ll see you there, ok?
Chrissie nodded her head, yeh but she kept her eyes on Dennis
Pauline- what’s going on Sharon? Who did this? Where’s Dennis going?
Sharon- Paul
Pauline- what?
Sharon- tell me, tell me the truth, is he ok?
Pauline shrugged knowing the full truth, I don’t know, I came straight over here
Sharon nodded her head, tears rolled down her cheeks, I don’t wanna lose him Paul, I can’t live with-out him
Pauline- its ok, it’s ok
Danny- he did what?
Freya- he killed my parents, our parents
Danny- why?
Freya stared at him, lying in a hospital bed in a hospital gown, his skin as pale as the walls. I… I… I…
