Thx for the reviews :) :P

Court

Carla straightened out her skirt in the mirror, making sure she looked presentable. It was Frank's trial today and she was feeling more nervous than she thought possible.

She heard a quiet knock on the door and Rob call, "Are you ready yet?"

Rob had been staying with her in the week since she had got out of hospital, in case she needed any help or anything, and Carla was glad of the company. She hadn't really been out of the flat, she still didn't feel ready to face the looks that people would throw at her, but today she would have to face them.

"Carla?" Rob called again.

"Yeah, I'm ready." She said, taking a deep breath as she opened the door and stepped into the room where Rob, Michelle and Ciaran were waiting. Without saying a word they made their way to the door, ready to put Frank where he belonged.

Michelle, Rob and Carla obviously were all giving evidence, they were all doing going to do anything they could to get Frank put away for as long as possible.

Carla let out a fustrated sigh as she saw Norris and Mary outside the court building, both of them holding a bag of sweets, they were both so nosey, neither of them knew when they were going too far.

Throughout all of the court case they would be whispering to eachother about if they thought someone was guilty or not or if someone was lying. Carla had seen it all before.

She turned to Michelle as they noticed she was here and came rushing over. Carla could've laughed if she wasn't so worried when Rob just gave them 'the look'. Rob was very good at 'the look', he could usually intimidate people by just looking at them, that was one of the good things about having Rob as a brother.

"You ready?" Michelle asked.

"Yeah, ready as I'll ever be." Carla sighed. Then the four of them made their way into the building.

"Frank Foster, you will be sentenced to 8 years in prison, take him down." Carla felt a wave of relief wash over her whn she heard those words, 8 years, he was officially gone.

Michelle turned to her with a big smile which Carla returned. That smile was one of the first real smiles Carla had let cross her face since she had got out of hospital.

"We going?" Rob asked, a big smile on his face.

"Yeah." Carla smiled.

"So, we going to celebrate?" Ciaran asked.

Carla thought for a moment, "Yeah," She said, "Time I started showing my face again."

Carla made her way too the bar, ignoring the fact that people were looking at her, it didn't matter now, Frank was gone, that was all that mattered.

"What do you want?" Rob asked.

"Do you really need to ask?" Carla sighed.

"Hey Stella, 2 pints and two red wines please." Rob said.

"Celebrating are we?" Stella asked.

Rob smiled, "He got 8 years."

"That's great news." Stella said.

"I know." Rob said.

The four of them sat in one of the booths.

"I think I'll be back at work on Monday." Carla said.

"So our services won't be needed anymore." Rob said, gesturing to Michelle.

"Quite the contrary," Carla said, "How do you guy's want to stay on?"

"Are you serious?" Michelle smiled.

"Yeah, well sometimes all that paperwork got a bit too much for one girl." Carla sighed, "That's one thing I didn't miss, the paperwork."

So, Only the epilogue to go now, plz review :) :P
