Summer Bay – The Pier Diner

While all that was going on at the school, Johnny was now sat in the Diner just staring into his cup of coffee.

Suddenly, a plate appeared in front of him on the table, looking up Johnny says: "I didn't order anything."

Marilyn who had brought the food over sat down opposite the cop: "You need to keep your strength up."

"Thanks, but I'm not hungry." Johnny says as he pushes the plate back towards her.

"Well, maybe some rest might make you feel better. Why don't you try and get some sleep?"

"I went home with Alf and I tried to get some sleep, but nothing is going to make me feel better Marilyn." Johnny replies.

"I know it's hard, I heard John up during the night worrying about Xavier, but you need to stay strong. Whatever you need to do to get you through, you just got to go and do it. That's what I always say." Marilyn tells him.

Noticing there was a customer at the till, Marilyn got up and walked away leaving Johnny to think about what she had just said.

Quickly taking his phone out of his pocket, he makes a phone call then leaves a message for someone to call him when they can.

(3:27pm) 3 hours and 45 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Caravan Park – Sally's House – Open Space Living Room and Kitchen

Arriving back home after going to see the person he called, Johnny walked over to the cupboard beside the fireplace and throws a little plastic bag down.

After thinking for a minute, he picked up the phone and started to key in a phone number just as there was a knock on the door.

Turning around he saw Amanda, "Good day."

"Hi, you left this stuff down at the base camp and I said I would drop it off for you." Amanda replied as she handed him his backpack.

"Oh, thanks." Johnny says as he take the bag from her and places it on the seat that was pulled out from under the table.

"Actually, while I'm here I wanted to ask you a few questions about the search."

"What do you want to know?"

"Well just some per specifics really." Amanda replies while Johnny looks at the phone behind him "Like how effective is that equipment that we are using down there?"

"Well, em I'd say it's crucial. Without comms, gear and support vehicles it would be pretty much impossible to search that kind of terrain. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure that we are doing everything that's possible."

"Right." Johnny replies just as Amanda's mobile rings.

Digging through her bag to find her phone, Amanda says: "Excuse me."

"Hello, you're kidding. No, I've already tried that. Alright just let me get a pen," Amanda says as she spot the pen beside the phone and goes to grab it just as Johnny tries to stop her "And I'll…"

"Wait Amanda stop." Johnny says but it's too late Amanda spotted the bag beside the phone.

Removing the phone from her ear, she grabs the plastic bag and picks it up. Looking at it she turns and stares at Johnny, who looks away.

Meanwhile…

Summer Bay – Tony and Rachel's House – The Flat – Lucas's Bedroom

School had finished for the day, so Lucas had thought it would be best if himself and Lee disappeared before they got asked to stay behind and talk to Sally some more.

Placing her bag down on the bed while Lucas closes his door, Lee starts to say: "The way he looked at me, he couldn't give a damn about me. All he's worried about is saving his own neck."

"If he doesn't care about you, what do you care about what happens to him?" Lucas asks her to try and make her realise she needs to tell Sally the truth "Look, what we need to do is tell Miss Fletcher the truth."

"No, no it's just going to make it worse."

"How?" Lucas demands to know.

Just then there was knock on the door and Tony appeared.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt. Hi Lee." Tony says as he had seen the pair leave the school and followed them home.

"Hi." Lee replies.

"Luc, I just wanted to have a little chat to you, both of you actually. I mean just Lucas. Em Lee, Sally Fletcher tells me you haven't told your parents about this."

Lee shakes her head.

"Don't you think they have a right to know? In fact, I'm a little surprised they haven't figured it out for themselves."

"They both work a lot. I hardly see them, but I am going to tell them I promise. Just not yet. Please."

"Ok, em look I don't want to seem like I'm being unsupportive to either of you because I'm just trying to get it through my head that's all. The fact is, em I'm just a little concerned for the both of you." Tony tells them not realising that Matilda, April plus Cassie and Ric who had popped over to see how school had gone was stood behind him "I mean being a teenager is hard enough as it is let alone throwing a pregnancy into the mix."

Ric covers his mouth as he is shocked that Tony thinks the baby is Lucas's, whilst Matilda just says: "Your pregnant?"

This quickly causes all three of them to turn around and look at the group of teens gathered in the TV room of the flat.

No one replies to Matilda, who just walks out of the room.

"No Mattie, wait!" Lucas calls after her.

Tony quickly follows his stepdaughter as he wants to make sure she's okay.

"Mattie." Tony calls after her.

Summer Bay – Tony and Rachel's House – Living Room/Kitchen

"Mattie, I'm sorry you had to hear that love." Tony said as he followed her back into the main house.

"How could he do this? How could he? I hate him!" Matilda says as she takes her bag off and storms into the kitchen "All of the lies that he's told me, and I believed him. How much of an idiot does that make me?"

The girls walk over to her and try to comfort their friend.

"No, you're not an idiot." Cassie quickly tells her.

April joins in with: "Cassie's right, Lucas is the idiot not you."

"You're not ok." Tony tries to tell her in hopes it would help to calm her down.

"I thought that after everything that happened between me, him and Ric that he forgive me and trusted me enough to tell me stuff." Matilda cried "We always said that we would be straight with each other and not lie anymore so to find out that he cheated on me before we even broke up…"

"I know it hurts Mattie, I'm so sorry." April tells her.

"I knew all along that he didn't care about me. Why would he? Why would anyone?"

"What?" Cassie and April both say confused.

"Don't ever say that Mattie." Cassie tells her "Ric cares about you. Me and April care about you. Even Tony cares about you."

"I mean nothing to him, and I never have because I am nothing. And if Ric cared about me, why isn't he here in this room telling me?" Matilda states.

With that Matilda runs to her bedroom before Cassie can say that Ric was talking to Lucas and Lee to find out more not realising Ric already knew.
