"I've loved you for staying here all day, but you are going home now Aaron..." Jackson smirked.

Aaron sighed. "Alright, alright...I do have some stuff to do I suppose"

"Like what?" Jackson asked.

"I've been doing up the house haven't I and unpacking all our stuff"

"Ahhh can't wait to see it all then" Jackson smiled.

Aaron stood up and leaned over Jackson and kissed him. "I love you"

"I love you too" Jackson smiled then watched him leave.

Once he stood outside the hospital, he smiled; glad his husband was on the mend. He left the grounds of the hospital and headed in the opposite direction from the bus stop he needed.

Hazel walked through the village heading up to the bus stop before being stopped by Bob. "How's Jackson?" he asked.

"Yeah good...getting there..."

"You off somewhere?" Bob asked.

Hazel nodded. "Yeah..." she thought for a second. "Just going to the supermarket, get some things in for my travels"

"At this time?" Bob chuckled.

"Why not?" she smiled. "Need to stay occupied somehow"

"Well I'll drive ya if you want?" he asked and Hazel shook her head. "No, thanks bob...I just want to be alone...sorry"

"No...No...I understand...I'll see you around then" he told her and continued walking and Hazel walked to the bus stop and waited for it to arrive.

Chas was leaving the pub as Cain walked in. "Oh, someone's in a rush" he commented.

Chas really was in a rush. "Yeah I'm meeting the girls aren't I? Their all round Debbie's, just asked Diane if I could have the night off"

Cain nodded.

"You doing much tonight then?" Chas asked.

"Erm, yeah gotta go pick up a few parts from a mate in town, said I could pick them up at his house"

"Ah right, well then...have fun..." Chas said and quickly ran off, she waited until he was inside the pub then ran up to the top of the village to get in the taxi that was waiting for her, she took one last look to see if anyone saw her, then quickly got in.

Several hours later Aaron ran into dale head then nearly jumped out of his skin when he wasn't expecting to see Hazel still up and his bursting through the door also startled her.

"Bloody hell Aaron, I thought you were in bed!"

"Yeah...well I went out for something to eat after I left Jackson, then I snuck back in..."

Hazel sighed. "Well that nurse took a shine to you, so I'm not surprised!"

Aaron chuckled nervously. "Yeah...cuppa?"

Hazel nodded and Aaron rushed into the kitchen and let out a heavy sigh once he was alone.

Miles away Mickey lay in a pool of blood in the hallway of his house.

When Cain came back into the village, he saw Chas walking past the pub, down into the village and Cain stopped. "Thought you were at Debbies?" he asked.

Chas nodded and swallowed hard. "I was...I'am...I was just getting some air..."

"Ahh...right" he smiled. "Tell Debbie I'm just going to put these parts in the garage then I'll be home"

Chas nodded quickly. "Yeah, alright" she quickly got out her phone and typed a text to Debbie – If Cain asks I was with you all night, I'll explain later x
