Janet sat on the edge of her car seat, gripping onto the steering wheel as if for dear life. 'Please be okay, Elise. Please!' she thought, barely able to concentrate on where she was going. Nothing like this had ever happened before.

RING RING!

Janet picked up her phone immediately. Her hands shaking as she put it on loudspeaker.

"Jan, it's Rachel" her friend's voice came through quickly, "Where are you?"

Janet couldn't mistake the fear in Rachel's tone, and ignored the question entirely, "What is it? What's wrong?"

Rachel bit her lip, hesitating.

"Rach, what's wrong?" Janet asked again, speeding down the country lane as she searched for the signs to the hospital whilst Rachel paced up and down the pavement, a hand brushing through her hair nervously. She took a deep breath, "It's a set up, Jan. It's all a lie. Elise is fine. Your mum asked Gill to take her and Taisie to school".

Janet shook her head, "What do you mean a set up?"

"It's Andy!" Rachel blurted out, kicking the curb in frustration, "Andy murdered Henry Osmond!"

Janet froze in her seat. It was Andy?

"He was released and now he's gone free" Rachel ranted on, her patience wearing thin as she waited for DCI Murray to come and pick her up, "We don't know where he is, or what he's going to do. He's a threat now, and he could be anywhere-"

Rachel trailed off, the possibilities running through her mind, "Jan, you still there?"

There was a crackle of silence before she spoke, "I'm here".

Rachel sighed. Where the hell was Gill? Leaning against a lamppost, she dug her heels into the ground and steadied her breathing. She'd be no use if she was as wound up as everyone else.

"He's gonna come after you, Janet" Rachel spoke quietly, not wanting to scare her friend, "You need to get somewhere safe right now. Go to the office. Godzilla is coming to pick me up".

Janet nodded silently, a small smile tugging at her lips at Rachel's use of Gill's nickname, "You okay?"

"Me?! You're asking me whether I'm okay?" Rachel almost laughed down the phone, "Good grief, I'm absolutely fine! How about you?"

"I have never been better" Janet replied, sarcastically.

"I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Okay".

Janet put the phone down. Geoff had been telling the truth. Andy had murdered Henry Osmond! She could hardly comprehend it. Janet slowed the car down a little, looking for the route to the office. She was about to turn left when a white van sped past her and knocked the back bumper, sending her car round in circles. Janet panicked, and tried to steady the steering wheel, but it was jammed. A flash of white. The van hit again. The car tumbled off the road and down towards the river. She screamed. And then there was silence, and all became black.
