CHAPTER 15

Josh was seething!He sat outside the diner mopping his bloody nose , his pride wounded and a hatred growing inside him at the humiliation he had suffered.He knew he had to get his revenge , but he was no match for Kane in a punch-up.No, Josh had to form a plan , a sneaky , ruthless , devious plan.And no one was as slimy or underhand as Josh West.

Kit was walking past , when she saw him.

"What happened to you?" , she asked.

Josh had no time for Kit normally and was tempted to tell her to rack off , but his evil mind knew that she was a troubled girl and thus easily manipulated.Yes he thought to himself , he would cultivate a friendship with her , that way he would know what was going on , then he would manipulate her , she could be invaluable in his quest for revenge.

"I had a run in with that thug Kane Phillips," he replied . "He was bad mouthing your friends and family , and although I'm not as close to the Sutherlands as I used to be , I'm not the sort of bloke who can stand back and allow that kind of behaviour.Then the animal just went for me.He's got them all fooled into  thinking he's changed but he's still the scum he always was." The lies tripped easily off Josh's tongue.

"Oh! You poor thing," sympathised Kit. "I'm sick of the whole business.It's like the whole world revolves around Kirsty at the moment , just because Kane got beaten up.And since he came back to the bay it's like I'm invisible, even my brother Scott doesn't have any time for me , it's all about "poor,brave Dani" and how she's coping with having Kane around.I tried talking to Jade about it but she can't be bothered with me , she's just running round after her sisters.Rhys is busy sucking up to Kirsty and no one cares about me and my problems."

"It must be so hard for you.You know you can always talk to me.I'm your friend , I'm a good listener and I've always got time for you."Josh put his arm around Kit's shoulder , while smirking to himself , "this is going to be so easy."

For the next few days Josh sought Kit out at every opportunity , making her believe she was special to him , even hinting they would have a relationship , whilst all the time plotting his revenge.

Poor Kit was no match for his deviousness and had no idea how he was using her.He fuelled her mind with the need for revenge on Kane , helped by the alcohol and drugs he supplied her with, always careful that no one else suspected his involvement.

Eventually she was putty in his hands ,  and he revealed his cunning plan to her.By now she was so convinced he cared about her , after all he gave her what she wanted attention and alcohol and drugs , that she went along with it without question.

They worked out the fine detail for their revenge in secret , poetic justice was what Josh called it!

The next day Kit went to the boat shed.She knew Kane was there alone , he wasn't supposed to be back at work yet , but he was bored so Scott and Alf agreed to let him do some light duties around the place.

She saw Kane and started flirting with him.He wasn't sure what she was playing at , but he'd always thought she was a bit wacko.

"Cut it out Kit.I'm busy and not in the mood for your stupid games."Kane didn't mean to sound so harsh , but he was tired and she was freaking him out.

Suddenly Kit started ripping at her clothes and screaming , then she ran out of the boatshed and home , sobbing and screaming.

"OH!MY GOD!" Beth , Kit's mother cried when she saw the state her daughter was in.Dani ,Jade and Rhys came running in to see what the commotion was about.

"What happened?!Who did this to you?!"They all asked.

Kit sobbed , while inside she was smirking.Josh's plan was working , now they were all paying her the attention she deserved.

"It was Kane!" , she lied.All of them gasped in shock and horror!

"KANE!!!"
