Home and Away Uncovered Secrets and Psychos
Chapter Six
"Thanks mate I really appreciate it", Peter said whilst dragging his suitcase through the front door.
"No problem man, so where's Leah and the kids?" Dan Baker, Peter's brother asked whilst helping Peter unload his car.
"Long story mate I'll tell you and Sam later", Peter said, breathless.
Dan still lived in Summer Bay but a bit further away from the palace, the beach house, diner and so on. Dan lived with his fiancee', Sam and they were due to get married in a couple of months. Sam worked regular shifts at Gym 'n' Tonic, Jesse's bar and Dan was now the counsellor at Summer Bay Junior School. Peter decided he needed his family to talk to about his and Leah's seperation and Dan and Sam were the closet family he had.
"Oh hi Peter! I didn't expect for you to arrive so soon. Sorry I won't be here tonight i'm working so um see you later Dan! And we'll catch up tomorrow ok Pete? See you guys bye!" Sam gave Dan a quick peck on the cheek and Peter a hug before leaving for work in her black jaguar. Peter thought Dan was so lucky to have a girl like Sam. But anyway Dan was younger than him and didn't need kids and marriage just yet. Sam had first of all gone out with Kim but they split up when Kim met his sister, Briget and started hanging out more with her instead of Sam, Sam got jealous and dumped him.
Monday
The next more when Dani woke up her heart was pounding as was her head. She had, had a terrible nightmare about Sarah of course. Dani was single and was scared she would have nobody to protect her if Sarah does a runner again. She went down into the kitchen and found Robbie sitting on a chair reading a science book, Tasha by the cooker frying some eggs and Kim sitting on the kitchen counter eating a slice of toast.
"Morning Dan! I'm just frying some eggs how many do ya want one? two? or three?" Tasha asked whilst giving Robbie his eggs and toast.
"Oh um none for me thanks Tash I'll grab something at work", Dani said whilst reading through her post.
"Dani it's Monday you never work Monday's",Kim pointed out
"Right", Dani said not really concentrating as she was reading a letter from her mum.
Dear Dani,
Sorry we haven't called you in so long sweetheart but we've just come back from a cruise in the carribean! I loved it the food was amazing, the weather was fantastic and so were the people. Your father of course hated the hot whether but thought the rest of it was alright! I talked to Kirsty yesterday and she told me all about Detective Baker's announcement. You do know that you can come and stay with us anytime. But apparently you needn't worry as Michelle will be with Sarah Lewis at all times. I haven't really got much more news hope work is ok! And good luck not that you need it I just want to make sure your safe call me soon.
All Our Love
Mum & Dad

Dani's eyes watered, it was so sweet of her parent's to write a letter like that. When her mum and dad had first got back together she didn't support them at all. But now it was the best thing ever. She hated it when her mum had to writeon herbirthday card mum and David and her dad sent her another signed Dad and Beth but now it was back to normal her mum and dad. Dani gave in and had an egg no way was she going to let Sarah Lewis win.
"Noah are you sure you're ready to go to work? I mean Sarah's arriving today and what if you see her at lunch?" Hayley said worrying
"Hayles it's cool ok? I'm not letting Sarah Lewis walk all over me I'm Noah Lawson i'm a tough guy!" Noah joked.
"Ok just be careful", Hayley said
"Hayles stop worrying if you really want me to I'll call you when i'm on my break", Noah said.
"Thanks i'd really like that", Hayley said smiling
"Cool are you ok now?" Noah asked
"Yes! Now go before you're late for work!" Hayley said pushing him out of the door. It was the school holidays so Tammy and Claire were off school and at the moment upstairs in their bedrooms.In the holidays Noah worked part days at the diner just to help Alf out.Hayley started cleaning but suddenly memories of Sarah appeared in her mind.
Flashback
"Now all I want is for the person who killed Felix to step forward and all of this will be over".Sarah pulled a chair and sat down "You've got 30 minutes and if no one steps up i'll start shooting" "And i'll start with the girls first". WhenSarah saidthat Haley remembered Noah holding tightly onto her and whispering that he loved her. "Tick tock tick tock". Those words made Haley shiver if ever she heard them pictures of Sarah came into her head. "SARAH WAIT!".Haley started to cry Noah was such a good person and was willing to give up his life for Dani, Kirsty, Leah, Sally and herself he was so brave and Haley wished she was too.
End of Flashback
Hayley started to cry Sarah was coming back, back to the bay she knew she wouldn't ever be able to handle it. She's want to scream and shout whenever she saw her but Hayley heard what Peter said 'If you don't act normal around her you might just give her some ideas'. Hayley stopped crying she had to control herself if she wanted to keep her family and friends safe.
"Right Sarah here we are home sweet home", Michelle said opening the front door of her and Sarah's new house. "So what do you think? It's nice isn't it?" Michelle asked whilst turning down the heating as it was an incredibly hot day.
"It definitely beats a prison cell", Sarah said walking around the living room "It's really homely so I guess it's pretty nice", Sarah said.
"Well Sarah I think we should un-pack and then I think we should start making our way around town,start appologising to those people you said you wanted to say sorry to in the Counselling", Michelle said.
"Yes that sounds like a good idea", Sarah said with what Michelle couldn't tell was a smile or a smirk on her face.
Dani was sorting out her CDs in her room when there was a knock at the palace door. Dani and Robbie were the only ones home and Robbie was reading again anyway so Dani decided to answer the door.
"I'll get it!" Dani said running down the stairs. She opened the blue door and to her amazement saw Sarah Lewis and a blonde haired woman standing at the door.
Michelle spoke first "Hello you must be Danielle Sutherland, I'm Michelle Rain can we come in? Sarah has go something she would like to say to you if that's s alright?".
Dani badly wanted to say know but was kind of interested what Sarah had to say and she remembered what Peter siad and let Sarah and Michelle in.
Sarah began saying sorry to Dani and how her time in jail had made her realise how horrible she'd been made Dani wasn't listening just having memories.
Flashback
'Actually Felix is dead', Sarah said in the palace living room Dani remebered her and Scottgasping
'Now I don't know which one of you two killed him coz it's murder', Sarah said smiling
'But it's not the cops you've got to worry about... it's me!"
End of Flashback
Dani remembered that was the moment where it all began. The blackmail, the hostage, the Victim counselling. She was so mad at Sarah. But she had to play it cool. Dani decided she was going to play the 'friend' instead of the 'enemy'.
Peter sat in a booth in the diner staring at Leah. How could she look so happy? They'd been seperated for a day and already her and Colleen were laughing. Peter then thought about himself A saddo, a loser, a loner. Peter realised he didn't really know many people in Summer Bay after six years of living there! He definitely was a loser!
In the kitchen of the diner Leah looked at Peter. She wanted so much to go over to him and tell him that she loved him and they could get back together again but she couldn't. Vinnie was alive! She couldn't really just forget that and the fact that Peter had kept it from her.She felt happy without him, free and just better. Earlier on she went to the caravan park and rented a van from Beth for the next three months hopefully by then she could at least afford a flat. In the meantime she was just going to be happy, stay positive and she didn't really want VJ suspecting anything.
Sarah appologised to everybody:
Peter
Dani
Hayley and Noah
Leah
Scott (She phoned him)
Jesse
Kirsty and Kane
Sally and Flynn
Nearly everyone in the bay. But Peter still had a couple of doubts was all this too good to be true could Sarah really be sorry?
