The caravan looked like a set out of a horror movie. Flynn stood against the door with blood splattered over his shirt, it wasn't his own blood. Kane lay on the floor holding his chest...Josh had shot him. The other victim was Dani, she remained in the same place that she had for a long time, before Kane, Flynn and the police had came to her rescue. A bullet had gone through her stomach but she wasn't wincing in pain like Kane was, she was unconscious. She'd taken a lot that night, the shot had been the last straw. She'd just given up. Josh looked on at what he'd done. He couldn't really believe it.

"I shot her...oh my god...what have I done?"

He looked at Flynn for reassurance but he had none. Two ambulance men entered the small caravan and told Flynn to wait outside. A police officer entered and took Josh out. He didn't put up a fight. He was in shock. Josh was arrested on the spot and pushed into a police car.

"But, Dani, I want to see if she is ok..."

The police officer ignored his plea and drove him away in the car. As the car was leaving, Josh stared out the window, looking at his caravan, a single tear sliding down his cheek.

Whilst Josh was being driven away, two stretchers were being pulled out of his caravan. No sheets were put over any faces but both were very close to losing the battle. As Kirsty saw her sister and her boyfriend, she screamed and cried hysterically. How could this happen? Why had Josh done it? Flynn saw that he was distressed and knew that even though he was in shock himself, he had to be there for Kirsty.

"Flynn...what happened, are they alive? Oh my god, what if they die, what will I do, Flynn, what will I do if they die?"

"They're alive, Kirsty, but that's all I can say."

"I should have been there to help them...they needed me."

"You couldn't have done a thing, Kirst. I was in that caravan and I'm a counsellor and I couldn't even stop Josh."

"Why did he do it, Flynn? Why?"

"I don't know, Kirsty, I really don't know, I guess that's the job of the police to find out."

Dani and Kane were bundled into ambulances and they were quickly gone. Both Flynn and Kirsty had wanted to go aswell but the police had instructed them to stay to give their statements. A police officer named Sgt. Briggs was talking to Kirsty...

"What's your name, sweetheart?"

Kirsty's head was in a mess. She couldn't think straight. She'd just about witnessed an attempted murder...what was going on?

"What, sorry?"

"What's your name?"

"Kirsty."

"Kirsty..."

"Kirsty Sutherland."

"You're the girl who made the call?"

"Yeah."

"So, you're Dani's sister then."

"Yeah."

"Is she older or younger than you?"

"She's older. I'm fifteen and she is seventeen."

"Do you know Josh pretty well?"

"Well, I thought I did, before all this happened."

"Ok, we need to get some background information from you, if your up to it? We just need to figure out why this happened."

"What? Eh...yeah sure."

"Ok, in what way are Josh and Dani connected?"

"They're going out."

"How long for?"

"I don't know, about three months now, maybe."

"Ok...do you know of any major arguments they were having at the moment?"

Kirsty knew. They'd been arguing about Kane practically ever since Dani had told Josh about him. She felt so guilty.

"Yeah..."

"What?"

"They were arguing about Kane."

"Isn't he the other victim?"

"Yes."

"Was he a past boyfriend of Dani's or something? Was Josh jealous of him?"

"No, no, it's not like that."

"Kirsty, you'll have to tell us what it is like then..."

"It must be about 9months ago now and Kane, well he was different then...he's changed now."

"Kirsty, what are you getting at?"

"He did a really bad thing to Dani...he, he...he raped her."

"Right. So why was that causing arguments?"

"I don't know! I'm not their personal spy!!!"

"Kirsty, we really need your help."

"Dani got counselling just a few days ago...rape counselling...with Flynn but it didn't work so she decided on a mediation."

"Between herself and Kane?"

"Yeah."

"And..."

"That failed aswell. Then Kane was beaten up and we met in the hospital. He's so different now, not the same man anymore. He's sorry for what he did to Dani, he just can't tell her that."

"Rewind a bit, Kirsty. You said Kane was beaten up...who by?"

"I don't know yet...Kane says he can't remember."

"Ok...I've got a theory going on here, thanks for your help, Kirsty."

"No problem, can I go to the hospital now?"

"Of course, we'll organise for you to get there."

"What about my family...they'll want to know about Dani."

"Where do they stay?"

"Just two minutes away, we own the caravan park."

"Ok, we'll notify them. We're going to need you again, Kirsty. We need your version of events."

"Ok."

Kirsty felt like she was going to explode. When her parents were told, how could she explain that she was with Kane? If Dani ever woke up, how could she explain it to her?

Sutherland household...

Sgt. Briggs knocked on the door and waited eagerly for a reply. He was dreading telling the poor family that their daughter had been shot by her own boyfriend but he wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

Brodie answered the door and seemed slightly shocked to see a police officer. She let him in and called for Rhys and Shelly. Brodie remained in the sitting area. Rhys and Shelly came down and their reaction was similar to Brodie's.

"Can we help you officer?"

"I'm afraid I have bad news."

Shelly's first thoughts were of Kirsty...what had she done now? Rhys thought of the caravan park, had someone broken in?

"What is it?"

"Is your daughter Dani Sutherland?"

At the mention of her best friend's name, Brodie gasped.

"Yes, Dani is our daughter."

"She was involved in a hostage situation not far from here."

"You what?"

"Her boyfriend, Joshua West, kept her in the caravan and we believe that she was badly beaten."

"No, not Josh."

"I'm afraid so. Your other daughter, Kirsty Sutherland, alerted the police and a Mr Flynn Saunders and a Mr Kane Phillips tried to relieve the situation."

"Kane? What the hell has he got to do with it?"

"Mr West had a gun and both Dani and Kane have been shot. I'm sorry."

Rhys looked at the officer in amazement. Had he really just heard what he thought he had?

Shelly was terrifed. She was trying to understand everything she'd just been told. Josh had taken Dani hostage and then shot her. And Kane? Why was he around? And Kirsty? Where was she now?

Brodie cried. Dani was the only best friend she'd ever had and she was the best.

"Is she alive?"

"Yes, are you her sister?"

"No, her friend, I'm her best friend." said Brodie, proudly.

Shelly's maternal instincts kicked in.

"I have to get to the hospital and see my baby."

"Yeah." Rhys agreed but he was dazed by the whole thing.

"Please, can I come too?"

"What about Jade?"

"She's out with Nick, Shelly."

"Ok...I'll leave her a note."

Rhys showed the Sgt. Briggs out and the three rushed to the hospital. There was no one rushing to the hospital for Kane. Kirsty was there but she was stuck in the waiting area. Both Dani and Kane were in a critical condition. What did that even mean, she thought? She wanted to run in and hug her sister, reassure her that it would be ok...but would it? She also wanted to run in and hug Kane, tell him that she was proud of him. If it hadn't been for Kane jumping in the way, a bullet would have went through Dani's head. She would be a gonner, for sure. He had saved her sister's life yet she was pretty sure that this would not make up for what else he had done to her sister's life.

Kirsty couldn't take her mind off Josh. Why'd he done it? What had Dani done to deserve that? She was depressed, yeah, but that was all for a good enough reason.

In the car on the way to the hospital, Rhys was thinking the same thing. That scum. He had always been extremely protective of his daughters but once again, he'd failed. He'd trusted Josh when he was no better than Kane Phillips himself.

Shelly was thinking of Kane. Why had he been there? Why was he walking through the caravan park and how had he ended up in Josh's caravan with Josh and Dani? She needed a lot of questions answered.

Brodie's thoughts were all with Dani. She'd been going through such a rough patch lately. How would she feel once she woke up this time. If she woke up. Brodie was terrified that Dani was going to die. She couldn't live without her. Ever since she'd been invited to stay with the Sutherland family, Dani had been her rock, even when she wasn't feeling so good herself. She couldn't die, she just couldn't.
