Part 20

A week had gone by since Dennis had gotten rid of Den's body and Sharon had slept soundly every night. He was round at the bookies helping Pat get the days float in the till ready for opening time.
"How's Sharon? Has the morning sickness stopped?"
"She never really had it Pat. I still can't believe that it has happened. Christmas seems like a life time ago."
"Yeah well Den has got a lot to answer for if he ever returns." Dennis didn't look at Pat. He knew that Den would never be returning to the Square.

The day went by quickly and before he knew it he was locking the bookies up and walking to the Vic. It was the first time he'd spent the day away from the Vic since he got rid of Den's body. He'd wanted to be around Sharon incase Chrissie said anything to her. He needn't have worried though as Chrissie hadn't mentioned it since the morning after.

He got to the Minute Mart and Patrick was coming out with Yolande behind him.
"I wonder who it is. Poor fella." Dennis carried on walking to the pub. He pushed open the door and looked for Sharon. He saw her standing behind the bar pulling a pint for Jim. Chrissie was serving Keith and Rosie at the other end of the bar. Patrick and Yolande followed Dennis into the pub. They walked over to a table where Pauline and Dot were sitting. Dennis could hear the sound of surprise in Pauline's voice. He walked towards the table and could hear the conversation clearer.
"A body?"
"Yes a body."
"Well when did they find it?"
"Last night. There was police everywhere."
"Where was it found?"
"The canal."

Part 21

Dennis turned and looked at Sharon whose face had turned pale. She turned and ran out of the bar and out into the back. Dennis ran after her. He found her sitting on the stairs with her head in her hands.
"Dennis this is it. They've found him. What are we going to do?" Dennis sank to his knees infront of her and took ahold of her hands.
"I don't know darling. I was afraid that this might happen. Now it has I just cant get my head around it.
"Are you sure we heard right?"
"Well we both heard the same thing, we both can't be mistaken can we?"
"Oh Dennis just when things were going right for us its all starting to go wrong."
"Sharon don't panic. We don't know for sure that they'll be able to connect it with us, we weren't the ones who killed him remember. He was rather decomposed darling."
"Yeah but when they do the tests they do and find out its dad where is the first place they're going to come? Here, exactly and what are they going to find? A freshly cemented part of the floor in the cellar and then they're going to put two and two together and think that we're involved!"
"Calm down Sharon, its no good worrying about it until we no for definite that it is Den."
"Oh come on Dennis, how many other bodies have been dumped in the canal in the past week?"
"Go upstairs and have a lie down, me and Tracy will keep an eye on the bar."

Dennis watched Sharon turn and walk upstairs and he went back out into the bar. He went over to Dot and Jim's table to collect the empty glasses and the conversation was still on the body in the canal.
"They don't know how long it had been there but they said they had been dead for awhile. Eee Dennis have you heard about this poor fellow they found in the canal?"
"No Dot, aint heard a thing."
"Well there were police everywhere, down the other end of town near that part of the canal. A boat had tugged on netting and they found the body there. You don't expect things like this to happen on your own doorstep."
"Im sure its nothing Dot, could turn out to be something else."
"No Dennis, they took it away in a body bag." Dennis turned and walked back to the bar and placed the empty glasses on the counter. He hoped it turned out to be nothing.

wow, keep it up.

Will post more soon!
