Part 22
The following day Dennis was walking to the Bookies to open up with Pat. He walked past the Minute Mart where the board outside advertised the headline of the local newspaper.
"MAN FOUND DEAD IN CANAL." it read. Dennis stopped when he saw it and looked at it for awhile before going inside. He walked over to where the newspapers were kept and saw the pile of them with the same headline. He had to stop Sharon from seeing these, she didn't need this adding to the stress she was already under. He picked a copy up and went to the counter. Yolande looked at the paper on the counter,
"Not the sort of thing we thought would happen around here."
"No I suppose not but it might be totally accidental. Has no one thought that they could have just fallen into the canal?" Dennis couldn't help himself from biting back at Yolande. Inside he was petrified. He had only just got Sharon back and now all he could think about was losing her again. Not just her but his daughter aswell.
Dennis walked out of the shop and over to the bookies. Pat had already opened up and was serving Jim.
"Er Dennis the police were in here asking where you were earlier." Dennis couldn't believe that it was happening already.
"Do you know what for?"
"They didn't say, just said that they would be back later." Dennis walked through to the back into the office and sat in the chair with his head in his hands.
