Even God Can't Change The Past
Chapter 6 : I Try
In the early hours of the morning police at Sun Hill Police Station were alerted to a disturbance at a house by one of the neighbours. PC Dan Casper and PC Steve Hunter were nearby so they drove to the house. For some reason the street name and the house number seemed familiar to Steve but he wasn't quite sure where he had heard it before. When Dan and Steve arrived at the house the neighbour who had phoned the police came outside.
"It was from this house." The elderly man said, pointing to a two bedroom semi detached house. Steve looked up and felt his heart sink. Unless he was completley mistaken this house belonged to his older brother Phil.
"That's Phil's house." Steve whispered to Dan.
Dan looked surprised. "As in your brother Phil?"
Steve nodded grimly and they walked up the path to the front door both of them had their asps ready just in case.
Dan pushed the already unlocked door open and walked into the living room. Phil Hunter was laying on the floor in a small pool of blood.
"Oh my God." Steve gasped as Dan radioed for an ambulance.
The younger Hunter crouched down next to his brother on the floor, feeling for a pulse. Steve looked up at Dan with a look of relief on his face.
"He's still breathing."
Samantha Nixon woke up to her phone ringing and vibrating on her bedside table. Groaning, Sam sat up in bed and pushed her hair out of her eyes. The display on the clock beside her bed showed her that it was just after four in the morning. She reached out and picked up her phone.
"Hello?" She demanded groggily. Sam hadn't bothered to look at Caller ID.
"Hi Sam, sorry to wake you so early." Came the voice of Steve Hunter. "It's Phil."
Samantha tried to concentrate on what Steve was saying.
"What's he gone and done now?" She asked.
"He was attacked."
"What!" Sam exclaimed. "Is he okay?"
"Yeah." Steve replied. "He's at St Hughes but he'll be okay."
"So he's not going to die?"
"Noo." Steve replied.
"Steve, it's four o'clock in the morning couldn't this have waited until later?"
"Yeah I guess but you were the first person I thought to ring."
"What about Nina?" Sam asked. "She's his girlfriend after all." She added a little bitterly.
"Good point. Sorry to have woken you. Bye Sam."
Samantha hung up, rolled over and went back to sleep.
"So how's Amy?" Karyn asked Kerry as they drank wine into the not so early hours of the morning. Jet lag hadn't started to kick in for Cameron or his wife yet. "Is she excited about her birthday party? I know Lauren is!"
Kerry smiled, putting down her glass and offering Karyn a top up.
"Yeah I think so! We don't seem to get on as well as we used to, she always seems to prefer Smithy to me."
Kerry and Karyn were in the kitchen making some food for themselves and their husbands.
"Aw I'm sure that's not the case. You're a great mum to Amy!"
"I try my best." Kerry said but her voice was doubting.
"Don't worry about it Kerry, she's growing up but she'll always need you."
Kerry smiled at Karyn.
"Thanks. Where did you learn so much about kids?" She asked.
Karyn laughed. "It comes from having two kids, three if you count Cam, and coming from a big family!"
Smithy and Cameron were sat together in the living room when the phone rang.
"Sorry." Smithy apologised. "I'll be back in a minute."
Dale answered the phone in the hallway wondering who it could be at this time.
"Smithy?" Came Gina's voice.
"Hello Gina, what can I do for you at...four in the morning?"
"We need you, sorry to break up the reunion but Phil's been attacked and we need you down here."
Smithy sighed and hung up.
"I've gotta go, something's come up and work." He told Kerry, he kissed her before heading upstairs to kiss Amy goodbye.
"Love you." He called going out of the front door.
"Love you too." Kerry replied.
After Kerry, Karyn and Cameron had eaten they decided that it was probably time for them to go to bed. Kerry couldn't help wondering about Smithy and worrying if he was okay. It wasn't often that he got called out in the middle of the night but since Amy had been born she worried more about him. She hoped this time that she wouldn't have to.
