Please review! Thanks to all who have reviewed the last chapter!
Sid walked out of the room. He smiled at the anxious family.
"Casey is going to be fine." They all breathed a sigh of relief. "It will take some time for him to fully recover and of course there is still his leukaemia but it looks like he'll make a full recovery."
"Can we see him?" asked Ruby, tears in her eyes.
"Of course but please one at a time." Asked Sid before departing. Ruby looked at Cheryl.
"No, no. you first." Said Cheryl practically reading Ruby's mind. Ruby smiled warmly at her. She nodded thanks before racing into Casey's room. He was just waking.
"Casey!" she cried throwing herself on him tears streaming down her face. He coughed.
"Hey, hey, hey." He said, coughing.
"I'm sorry… I just… I was so worried… and… I really love you! You know that right?"
"Course I do!" said Casey chuckling at his girlfriend.

Bianca rushed into the house. She threw her keys and bag on the table. She fished the files out of her bag. She was surprised that no one had noticed they were missing. She sat on the couch and opened to the first page. There was the list of suspects and the details of the fire. On the next page was more information about the suspects.
Stacey Braxton – no alibi for the time of fire. Motive- felt resentment towards the family.
Cheryl Braxton – no alibi for the time of fire. No known motive.
Tegan Callaghan – No alibi for time of fire. Was scorned by Darryl Braxton, who was inside the house with his new girlfriend at the time of fire.
Bianca Scott – found at scene in close proximity to house. Was scorned by Heath Braxton.
The rest of the page was taken up by the river boys. Bianca continued to the next page which was taken up with suspects and victims past and their links to each other. Bianca read the profiles ending with Lisa's. She gasped as she read the profile…

Lisa woke with a start. She had just had a vivid nightmare. She had dreamed that Heath had turned on her, viciously beating her. It had been so vivid. So real… it terrified her.
She jumped when she heard a knock at the door. Bianca walked in. she had a sly smile on her face.
"Hello Lisa." She said.
"What do you want?" asked Lisa not in the mood for games.
"Just thought you ought to know that I know your secret…"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Said Lisa fearing that Bianca really did know.
"Yes you do. I know all about Alex… and soon Heath will too." She said still smiling slyly at her. Fear gripped Lisa's heart. She knew…

Cheryl waited patiently for Ruby to leave Casey's room. She was thrilled that her son was going to be okay. Suddenly she saw cops coming down the hall.
"Mrs Braxton I'm arresting you in association with the fire at your home last Friday night. You do not have to say anything but anything you do say will be taken down in evidence and may be used against you." Said the officer. Brax and Charlie walked up to them.
"Hey, hey what's going on?" demanded Brax.
"They're arresting me for the fire!" exclaimed Cheryl.
"WHAT?" screamed Brax. Ruby rushed out.
"You can't do that! She's done nothing wrong!" Charlie pleaded with the officer. She knew him. She had seen him often around the station.
"I'm afraid I have to. If you have done nothing wrong than you have nothing to fear." Said Inspector Joyce coming up behind the officer who was leading Cheryl away.
"Inspector please she's innocent-" Charlie pleaded with her boss.
"I'm sorry sergeant but we have received evidence claiming Mrs Braxton set the fire." He said before walking away.
Next time
Heath discovers that Cheryl has been arrested. Will he tell the police about his suspicions?
Lisa is released. Can she stop Bianca from revealing her secret? Or will it be revealed?
Charlie gets a shock from Lisa. Will it put her in danger?
