Present Day

Guy was a little fuzzy on the details of what happened next. All he could remember was that the fight to end all fights erupted and Robert laid into him with all of his penned up anger.

Back to the Night in Question

Guy had waited for the blows to ease up so he could push Robert away from him.

Unfortunately Guy had no idea how close to the edge they had become, when he gave him a shove, Robert lost his footing and slipped. Guy did try to grab him, Connie testified in Court that she saw Guy try to save her father.

Guy remembered hearing Connie scream and he'd never forget the sound of Robert's startled cry as he felt himself slipping over the edge of the cliff. Part of him wanted him to fall but the bigger part of him wanted to save him.

He did what any decent human being would do, he gripped Robert's arm with all his might but the rain had made things slippery and Guy fell down losing grip on Robert as he fell.

"Damn you" were Robert's last words to Guy. He never told anyone what Robert had said. It would have set the final nail in his coffin if he admitted that in open court.

Guy sunk to his knees in the rain that had started to pour down. He had finally done what everyone said he'd do, he'd finally torn the Moreau family apart. He placed his head in his hands and wept.

He wasn't crying for Robert, he was crying for Connie. He had cost Connie her father's life.

Guy felt his way around until he felt his mobile phone a few metres away from the bench where Robert had thrown it. He wiped it off with his sleeve and dialed "911".

"911 What's your emergency" the operator answered.

"There's been an accident. Robert, he's fallen down the cliff. He's dead" Guy said, all colour drained from his face and his eyes dark and tired.

"What's your location Sir?" the woman asked.

Guy gave details of his whereabouts and hung up the phone.

He crept over to the edge and tried to see where Robert' body was.

It was too dark but he heard something that sounded like "No" followed by a sickening thud.

He desperately wiped rain out of his eyes and tried to focus on something moving below but he couldn't make out what it was.

The clouds had covered the moon, declaring the night pitch black.

He couldn't do anything but sit there and wait for the police to come and deal with him. It was no use trying to run and hide, he would be the prime suspect and they'd trace the 911 call to his mobile phone anyway.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Danielle stood frozen in fear. Guy had killed her father.

Tears stung her eyes as the realization sunk in that was shortly followed by an intense fear that he knew she was hiding there and that she would be next. After all, her dad was against him and Connie and it was all because of Danielle. What sick game was Guy playing at?

She had lost sight of Connie a little while ago. All she heard was Connie screamed and she ran up the last part of the hill to see what was wrong and Connie had gone and Guy was throwing her father over the edge of the cliff.

Guy then sunk to his knees and started laughing or crying, she couldn't really tell which but it sounded like he was laughing to her. Then he called someone and then he just sat there.
