"Johnny's at the flat?!" Tee cried out and both she and Mike left. They got to the door and Keith strode out. He had blood on his hands and shirt. They turned their attention to the house.

"Johnny?" Mike called and Tee went into the house.

"Johnny? Johnny, are you here?" Tee asked.

"Tee wait," Mike said, following her just as she froze in a doorway. "Tee? What is it, what's?" Mike stopped short as he saw Johnny's body lying on the ground. His head had been smashed open and blood was pouring out of him and onto the carpet. Johnny's eyes stared up at the ceiling, unmoving. Mike took out his phone and called the police.

"Police please. A boy's been killed," Mike said on the phone and Tee couldn't take her eyes off Johnny. "21 Bridgemoor way. Ok. Stay with the body. Got it," Mike said, hanging up the phone. "Tee?" He asked but Tee was frozen, staring at Johnny. Tears were pricking at the edge of her eyes. "Breathe Tee," Mike said but she didn't move. "He's gone Tee," He told her but she just gasped. Mike left Tee and went to Johnny. The body humbled Mike as he felt Johnny's neck. After a few minutes he took his hand away and sighed. Tee took in a sharp breath as someone touched her shoulder.

"Do we know what happened?" The police officer asked and Mike looked up.

"He was attacked," Mike said slowly. "Domestic," was the only word he could come up with.
"And this is?" The police woman asked, looking at Tee in her gentle grip.
"Tee Taylor, his sister," Mike said as another officer appeared and wrapped a blanket around Tee.
"Ok. Take her out of here. We will be in touch with you…"

"Mike Milligan, head care worker at Ashdene Ridge."

"Ok. Look after Tee Mike," The officer said and Mike slowly walked Tee out of the flat.

"Are you here Johnny?" Tee whispered slowly in the car and Mike glanced at her. Tee was in shock and she was pale. Mike sighed. He didn't know what he was going to tell the others when they got in.

The car pulled up outside Ashdene Ridge and Mike guided Tee out of the car. They entered the house and Carmen stood up from the sofa.

"Where's Johnny?" She asked.
"Carmen, can you take Tee upstairs please," Mike asked quietly.
"Er, yeah sure," Carmen said as she looked at Tee and became very concerned. "Tee? What is it what's wrong?" She asked but Tee didn't reply. "Mike?"
"I'll explain in a minute, just get her upstairs," Mike whispered urgently as the other kids began to appear and their mum came out of the office. "Now Carmen," Mike said and Carmen wrapped her arm around Tee. She led her up the stairs as everyone gathered around Mike.

"What's going on?" Jody asked.

"What's wrong with Tee?" Rick added.
"Why does she have a blanket around her?" Mo asked.
"Ok everyone calm down."
"Where's Johnny?" Mrs Taylor asked and Mike turned to her.
"Ok, everyone go into the lounge and I will talk to you in a moment. Mrs Taylor, I'll have a word in the office," Mike said, going into office and closing the door.

"There we go," Carmen said, sitting Tee down on the bed and rubbing her back. "You're making me really worried Tee. Can you say something, please?"
"He couldn't hear me," Tee whispered.
"Who couldn't hear you? Did someone hurt you?" Carmen asked but Tee remained still. "Tee please," Carmen begged her and May-Li appeared at the door.
"Can I have a word please Carmen?" She asked and Carmen stood up.

"What's going on, Tee's not responding to me. It's like she's on another planet."
"Johnny's been killed," May-Li whispered and Carmen stood in shock.
"What?"

"Mike and Tee found him at their flat. The police are investigating but it's very likely that Johnny was murdered by his dad."

"Oh my God. What are we going to do about Tee?"
"She is going to need a lot of love and support from of us. She needs to process what's happened and then go through the grieving process. This is a life changing moment for Tee."

"Right. What can we do now?"

"Just stay wither her make sure that she eats and drinks something ok?"

"That I can do."
