Heath didn't speak he didn't even yell he just walked over to Simon and punched him.

The power behind Heath's punched lifted Simon out of his chair and laid him across the table, Heath grabbed hold of Simon's shirt and pulled him to his feet before punching him again "Argh, he's gone mad" Colleen yelled as she rushed around.

Heath didn't stop at the second punch as Simon was on the floor Heath repeatedly kicked him one kick after the other "HEATH" a voice screamed from behind him "Oh god baby stop" it cried as Heath turned round he saw a very fragile Becca staring at him. Suddenly the pain in her eyes hit him as he rushed towards her before pulling her into a violent hug.

Both of Heath's muscular arms wrapped tightly around Becca's body as she leant all her weight into him. Heath could feel Becca's heart racing and her body shaking frantically. It wasn't until Becca pulled away from Heath and looked towards Simon that the people in the Diner saw the extent of her trauma.

"Oh my gawdfather, what happened?" Irene gasped as she looked at Becca then at Brax, who had just arrived in time to see the state of Simon.

"He attacked Heath's wife" Brax replied as he walked away from Irene and towards Heath.

"Heath's got a wife?" Irene exclaimed, obviously Colleen failed to mention this delightful piece of information.

"Here you go pet" Colleen smiled nervously as she approached Becca who was now sat next to Heath at a table. Simon was still laid out on the floor. Colleen handed Becca a glass of water.

"Thank you" Becca whispered as she tried to grip the glass in her shaking hands.

It wasn't long before the police arrived. Charlie and Watson were the first on the scene, Charlie walked towards Irene and Colleen "We have a witness who has said Heath Braxton was responsible for this assault" Charlie frowned.

"Nah Darl that can't be right, Heath was already here comforting his wife when Simon arrived in that state" Irene replied defending Heath and Becca.

"Yes that's right Sergeant, Heath Braxton was already in here when that man arrived" Colleen surprisingly confirmed Irene's comment.

Watson was already taking a statement from Becca while the paramedics took Simon out of the Diner and loaded him the ambulance. Brax watched carefully before walking towards Simon he could see Simon was now conscious Brax bent down so he was level with Simon's ear "Even jail won't keep you safe, you're a dead man" he whispered before standing up and walking away.

Brax waited outside until Heath and Becca came out, Heath left Becca with Watson so he could speak to Brax "She's gotta go to the police station for a proper examination" Heath said softly "Then I'm gonna take her home" he added.

Brax nodded "I'll go back to her room at The Sands and get her stuff" he said. Brax knew Heath wouldn't be able to deal with going inside that room, especially with a police investigation going on. Not to mention the fact this would be the perfect opportunity for Brax to speak to Charlie.

x-x-x-x-x-x

Charlie was stood just inside the doorway of Becca's room, Brax approached her and was horrified as he looked into the room, he couldn't believe what had happened. As he looked around he noticed a few officers were talking to neighbours.

"Hey" Charlie said softly as she moved closer to him "How's Becca?"

"A mess" Brax replied as he continued to stare into the room, Charlie grabbed his arm causing Brax to come out of his trance. Charlie dragged him away from the room.

"Has anyone spoken to them?" Charlie asked.

"Yeh, Becca's gotta go to the police station" Brax replied "I just came to get some of her things" he added.

"Ok what does she need?" Charlie said softly.

"Just clothes and stuff I guess" Brax replied he still couldn't get his head around what was happening. He couldn't shake the fragile image of Becca walking towards them on the beach.

"Right you wait here and I'll get some" Charlie said softly before turning and walking back inside the room. She returned a few moments later with a small bag of clothes "Here" she said as she handed them to Brax.

"Hey listen did you wanna meet up later, I really need to talk to you" Brax asked quietly. Charlie nodded "Yeah ok, I'll call you" she smiled before walking away.

Brax got back inside his Ute and headed to the police station, as he walked through the double doors he noticed Heath sat in the waiting room "Hey mate" Brax said as he sat beside him. Heath just glanced at him quickly before returning his gaze to the floor "Where's Becca?"

"She's being examined by the police doctor" Heath replied "They said she might need the morning after pill"

Brax's eye brows lifted, this was not something he had expected Heath to take so well. "I take it she can go home after this then?" Brax tried to change the subject.

"What kind of man does something like this? I knew I should have gone with her" Heath frowned. Brax looked puzzled.

"What are you talking about, gone with her where?" he asked curiously.

"To tell Simon about us" Heath explained "I slept with Becca and she was going to tell Simon the engagement was off"

"Sorry mate" Brax shook his head in disbelief "Have they said what will happen to Simon?"

"No" Heath gritted his teeth at the mention of Simon's name.

Suddenly the door opened and Becca came out wearing a pair of grey jog pants and a white t-shirt which was miles to big for her. Heath quickly stood up and walked towards her he grabbed her hand and walked with her towards the door. Becca's tearstained face was a heartbreaking sight for Heath; he was struggling with his emotions as he opened the door of Brax's Ute so Becca could climb inside.

Cheryl was waiting at the door when they got back; she was horrified by the state of Becca. She was covered in bruises and the clothes she was wearing were too big, this doesn't sound like a big deal to most people but Becca always took pride in her appearance so seeing her like this was a shock for everyone.

Cheryl threw Heath a sympathetic look as she watched him help Becca inside "You ok baby?" Heath whispered as he looked into Becca's eyes.

Becca nodded slowly "Can I go for a shower" she asked numbly.

"Yeah Hon" Heath nodded. He watched helplessly as Becca walked towards the bathroom. She had no energy in her movement it was almost like she was a walking ghost; she was there, without actually being there.

Brax turned to Heath and Cheryl as Becca disappeared into the bathroom "What do you wanna do?" Brax asked coolly.

"I say we make the bastard pay" Cheryl interrupted viciously. Brax glared at his mum and then turned back to Heath

"Heath?" Brax said again hoping for an answer "What do you wanna do?"

"Destroy him" was all Heath said, but that was all he needed to say. Brax pulled out his phone and had already started calling the boys. Brax knew they wouldn't need much persuading for this job, Becca meant a lot to everyone.

Ok thoughts please x x
