Rachel sat in the dark room staring down at the table in front of her, she didn't know if Eddie was alright the doctors had been in theatre for ages and were still down there when Rachel had to come down to this cold and dark place, prison. She had been sat in the interview room for about an hour know and had gone through what felt like her life story; DCI Merrygold had suspended the interview when she was called out as they had found new information.
Rachel was pulled out of her thoughts when DCI Merrygold shut the door a little too loudly for Rachel's liking but what could she do, she hadn't been home yet to freshen up, the trails of mascara still ran down her face from the night before, the picture of Eddie's body laying there lifeless still fresh in her mind all she wanted to know was if he was ok or not.
"Is Eddie ok?" She immediately asked.
"Mr Lawson is in a coma unfortunately due to the loss of blood he endured"
"Oh god" Rachel said a tear forming in her eye.
"Interview restarted at ... ten-o-one am" DCI Merrygold stated glancing down at her watch turning the recorder back on.
"Miss Mason, we are in the right mind to believe that a Mr Max Tyler used to be Executive Head of Waterloo Road before Mr Lawson"
"Uh, yeah...yeah but i don't see what any of this has got to do with him" Rachel mumbled tiredly.
"Did you know Max Tyler was released on bail yesterday afternoon, Miss Mason?"
"No, but uh... you think he did this"
"Were not stating anything yet but it could be a possibility" Rachel looked shocked at this comment
"For the benefit of the tape DCI Marsden has entered the room" DCI Marsden whispered something in her ear and then handed her a report and went again "DCI Marsden has left the room"
"Christopher Mead, tell me about him" DCI Merrygold said after a few minutes of looking through the report she had been given.
"What do you mean?" Rachel sighed rubbing her head.
"What was his relationship with Mr Lawson like?"
"Um, i dunno ok i suppose"
"Really, well it's says Mr Mead wasn't very fond of Mr Lawson after a few weeks of him working there, care to expand?"
"Ur, well when school started again Chris had become the new deputy, and um, we started dating after Max left. But then Eddie came back as the new Executive and i guess i was still in love with him because i woke up one day and called Chris, Eddie"
"Wow, that wasn't very clever" DCI Merrygold interjected sarcastically
"Obviously" Rachel snapped "Can i just go know?"
"That would be quite a reason for someone to take action like they did on Mr Lawson, don't you think"
"What, no i don't think Chris, would uh be capable of something like this"
"Were just keeping our options open Miss Mason" DCI Merrygold smiled "You can go know"

"Mr Mead, can you tell me about your relationships with Mr Lawson and why you weren't at the party last night"

Once Rachel had been home had a shower and changed her clothes she phoned Marion, Michael's mum and went straight to the hospital where a nurse led her to Eddie's room she smiled her thanks and went inside.
Someone's just come in, i think its Rachel, i can smell her perfume.
He looked so peaceful laid there, Rachel thought to herself but all she wanted to do was wake him up.
"Eddie" She barely whispered sitting down in the chair next to the bed "Eddie can you hear me?"
Course i can hear you.
"I um, i phoned Marion to let her know what happened, so uh Michael is coming up tomorrow to see you" She couldn't help but let the tears that formed in her eye's fall.
Michael now that brings back something, oh yeah i was on the phone to him and then the next thing i know I'm in her, but the only thing is i don't know where here is. I just want to wake up and see Rachel's beautiful face and Michael.

Rachel had been at the hospital now for 2 hours when Kim arrived.
"Hey Rachel you okay?" Kim asked walking through the door and Eddie immediately caught her eye.
"What have they said about Eddie?"
"Uh he, he's in a coma because of the amount of blood he lost"
"Does he know where here, i mean like can he hear us?" She thought she sounded stupid.
"Probably, when i was in a um, coma i could hear everything"
"Do you mind if..." Kim trailed off.
"Course not" Rachel faintly smiled.
"Hey Eddie" Kim tried to fill her voice with enthusiasm.
Kim!
"I just thought I'd remind you Man United are playing tonight, you know the um, game you've been banging on about all week against City or something" Kim slightly laughed.
Great! I'm gunna miss a really important game just because I'm stuck in my head, can it get any worse?
"I'll get Rachel to ask the nurse to put it on for you, yeah" Kim at least just wanted one movement or sound from him but got nothing, so she just placed him Manchester United scarf next to him on the bed.
Sounds like a plan.
"It's horrible isn't it Kim" Rachel suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah" Kim sighed.
"I just want to hear his voice again Kim, i want him back" A whole new round of tears came spilling out of Rachel's eyes as Kim held her.
"I know Rachel, i know he's strong though he'll pull through" Kim did her best to try and reassure Rachel but she wasn't so sure herself.
Please don't cry Rach...
AAA! Why won't my eyes open...
