The Truth
"What I'm about to tell you might be a shock. As you saw when you all arrived a the warehouse, Grace looked fine. But that is not the case. Unknown to us Linda had stabbed her in the abdomen which caused severe internal bleeding. Now the doctors think that they would be able to stop the bleeding in surgery however the chances that she will recover is uncertain. They are doing more tests just to rule out any other further injuries but so far it looks pretty grim. I suggest that you come down here as soon as you can."
The other three were stunned into silence. No could speak, their minds all on Boyd and how he was feeling and coping but most of all their minds were on Grace.
"Do you think there is any chance that she will recover?" Eve asked into the speaker phone.
" I just hope so." Boyd replied.
Then the line was cut off. The other three looked at each other. They all hoped that if the worst was to come they would be able to manage to cope without her though they doubted it. Especially when they knew that Boyd would find it difficult again after he had lost Mel, Luke and Stella in the past. The three of them got into Spence's car and drove off to the hospital.
