Carla woke up instantly as the banging continued at the front door. She looked at Michelle aboslutely terrified, as they both knew who was at the door.

'I'll get rid of him Carla, I promise.' Darren said as he felt his blood boil. He turned to Michelle 'Call the police. Now.'

'Darren, don't start a fight with him because it could just make things worse.' Michelle said

'I can't promise anything, Michelle.'

Darren went to the front door and took a deep beath before opening it, glaring at Frank who was on the door step.

'Where is Carla?' Frank said in a stern but quiet voice.

'How dare you come here, after what you have done to her.' Darren diliberatly shouted this to draw attention to Frank. Hayley and Becky stopped in the street to listen and Norris began to clean the same spot on the window of the Kabin as he looked over.

'I haven't done anything to her.' Frank answered in a equally loud voice. He lent foward and whispered at Darren. 'I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you, or people will think that you are as crazy as your sister.'

At this Darren's anger exploded and he launched himself at Frank punching him in the stomach, knocking him to the floor and repeatingly punching him in the face as Frank made a vain attemped to fight back.

Hearing the fight starting Michelle rushed out of the house to try and break it up. Carla stood out of sight in the doorway. Michelle shouted across the street to where Norris and the others were watching.

'Don't just stand there, get someone.' Becky ran into the Rover's and came back out almost instantly followed by Carl, Steve and Ciaran amongst others. Police sirens could be heard in the distance.

Ciaran managed to pull Darren off Frank as Steve helped Frank up. There was a struggle as Frank tried to lunge at Darren but was held back by Steve with help from Carl. Michelle helped Ciaran hold back Darren but they couldn't stop Darren shouting Frank.

'Tell them what you did Frank! Tell them the real reason that Carla hasn't been round for 3 months!'

By now they had both stopped struggling but Frank didn't reply to what Darren had said. Carl spoke up.

'Look I don't know who you are mate but Carla's in a mental hospital.'

'No i'm not.' Carla appeared in the doorway of Michelle's with her head bowed, as soon as she appeared the crowd fell silent 'This is my brother' She said pointing at Darren 'and he has been the only person to realise what Frank has been doing to me.' As she said this she raised her head showing her briused face. A ripple of mutters went through the group of people as the police pulled up.

'What's going on here?' One of the detectives asked. 'We got a call from a Michelle Connor saying that someone had been assulted. Is this the person she was talking about?' The detective asked glancing at Frank who had a split lip and blood pouring out of his nose.

'I'm Michelle and no, that's the monster that did it. It just happened that the victims brother got to him before you did.' She glared at Darren who smiled apolagetically.

'So who did he assult.'

'Me' Carla stepped foward.

'OK well shall we go inside I don't think this needs a audience anymore.' The detective turned to the crowd. 'Shows over folks, get back to your lives now.' She then turned to the uniform officer by the car. 'Call and get a van, but cuff him first.'

'Shall we go inside?'

And that is the end! Sorry to end it there but I thought it best. Also sorry for any typos as my spelling ability is about as good as a chocolate teapot
