thanks for the reviews on chapter one :-)

Members of the village all stared at James Barton as he stormed his way through the crowd of people.

"James!" Chas shouted, who was standing by an ambulance with Diane.

James turned away from the rubble to face his girlfriend. It was obvious to him that she looked distressed, was Aaron hurt? Debbie?

"James you can't go through there." She told him.

"My kids were in that pub!" He shouted.

"I know." She said as she put her hand on his shoulder. "You don't want to see, believe me"

"See what?" He demanded.

"Move out of the way, he's gone into cardiac arrest." A voice shouted from behind them.

After hearing the paramedics words James ran forward towards the body on the stretcher. As he saw who it was his eyes filled with tears.

"No." He whispered, barely audible over the noise of the sirens.

His heart broke as he looked down at his son, sure him and Ross hadn't been on the best terms, they hadn't been for years, but this was his son.

"Ross, open your eyes son." He's shouted to the limp body.

"Mr Barton, please step away, we need to get your son to the hospital."

James stepped away from his son and watched as the ambulance left the car park, he then turned around in search for his other sons.
