Wow, couldn't stop once I'd started! It's probably a load of drivel by now but I've got to get it finished!!
THE SHARP END PART 11Suzi pulled the door shut again, holding her stomach "Oh God" groaned Juliet "I'd hoped...." She tailed off as they heard a groan, Juliet pushed into the lounge again, holding her sleeve over her nose, frantically searching the room for signs of movement in the half-light.
Stepping over the debris, Suzi gasped "Juliet!" she called
Juliet looked and saw a person, bound in a sleeping bag, face down on the floor.
"Polly!" she yelled, dropping to her knees, and turning the form over, she gasped as Polly's face came into view, gagged and covered in blood, but alive!
June Ackland hugged the sobbing Polly to her "It's ok Pol, it's over" she said over and over again, the tears subsided a little, Polly looked around the cubicle in St Hugh's "Oh, June" Polly said "It was awful!" she shuddered "And knowing she's here, in this hospital" Polly sniffed
"I know, but she's waiting an escort to go back to the hospital, well a different hospital this time" soothed June "You really should talk to the DCI, you know, him and Sam are waiting outside"
Polly sighed, "Yes" she said "Might as well get it over with"
Samantha Nixon flipped open her notebook "Right then Polly" she said, after the usual 'how are yous' were over "Tell us exactly what happened from when you left June and Jim outside the pub"
"Well, I got the taxi home, paid him and went into the house" Polly frowned "Something wasn't right, but I can't really put my finger on it, anyway, I heard a noise, thought it was the cat and that was it, someone, Cathy , put something over my nose and mouth, I woke up on that floor, it was weird, she never spoke, and I couldn't see her, she just walked round and round"
"And the dead animals?" asked Jack
"They were brought in while I was asleep" Polly grimaced "She kept putting the same stuff over my nose and mouth, knocked me out"
"And she never said anything?" asked Sam
"No" said Polly "Still, I suppose she's in a mental hospital for a reason...." Polly stopped "I don't suppose we'll ever know why she did all these things"
"At least she's under lock and key again" replied Jack "Just one more thing, was Cathy alone?"
"Oh yes" said Polly "There was only ever one set of feet, and like I said, she never spoke at all"
Sam and Jack bid their farewells and left.
"Isn't it weird how a person can just turn?" asked Sam
"Oh, I think Cathy just hid it well, and the thing with Brandon brought it out," replied Jack
"I suppose" reflected Sam "At least Polly's safe, the only lives lost were those poor animals"
"Yes, apparently, the blood on Polly was animals, and all the animals were killed by lethal injection, a parallel of Polly's fiancé's death, you could say, the secure hospital said that they had lost a significant quantity of diamorphine"
They both paused as Cathy came out on a trolley; with two porters.
"Guv!" called Cathy "I did a good job! You caught Polly!" she shouted
"He'll be mad with me though" she frowned "Even though I didn't tell..., I didn't!" she yelled as they loaded her, bound to the trolley into the ambulance.
"At least we don't have to go to court to get her locked up" said Jack as they got into the car, and headed back to Sunhill.
AND FINALLY..........
"Come on you!" he said digging her in the ribs
"Nooo!" she squealed, turning over.
"Get up!" whispered Smithy in her ear
"Can't we just stay here?" Juliet pleaded
"No!" he said throwing the bed covers off them both "People don't stop committing crimes because we fancy a day in bed!"
"But people will be gossiping about us" she moaned, cuddling into him.
"I don't care" he smiled "I'm happy, you're happy aren't you?"
"Course I am" she said kissing him "That's why I don't want to get up!"
"Good" he said, kissing her back.
