Chapter 2

Franklyn road

Heath and cate pull up to the house where the man in his late 40's to early fifties stood outside frantically waving at them, they get out of the ambulance and grab what equipment they need and soon they follow the man into the house, as they walk in the garden and to the house both heath and cate take note of what the house looks like trying to find out if the house was suspicious as they walked through they saw that the garden was clean cut but what stood out was the soil on the boarders of the grass which had been disturbed, to heath it looked as if there were a herd of elephants trampled on the soil heading into the house.

As they walked through the front door they look around to see the house is elegantly furnished and a bit too pricey for the owners, but to them they thought the house was tidy and was a 21st century style home, elegant for a middle aged couple to live in, as they enter the living room they see a middle aged women with blonde hair lay on the floor unconscious, both paramedics look around the floor and then too the women and the man supposedly her husband who was stood at the side of the women looking cagey.

"Hey mate what happened here" asks Cate?

"I don't know I came home from work early and found her on the floor, I tried to wake her but I didn't get an answer" answers Jim.

"What is your name" asks Heath?
"Oh my name is Jim and this is my wife Helen" answers Jim.

"Ok has she got any medical conditions we need to know about" asks Cate?

"Err no only diabetes" answers Jim looking round to make sure no one was around.

"Are you ok sir, you look a bit scared" asks Heath?

"No am just worried the people who hurt my wife may come back" answers Jim.

"Well once we have dealt with your wife and got her to hospital then we will ask the hospital to contact the police informing them of the assault on your wife" explains heath

"Wait police" asks Jim?

"Yeah in any unexplained incident we have the authority to inform the police of our suspicions" answers Heath.

"No I can't allow that" says Jim getting violent.

Suddenly the back door opens, and in walks three men the first man looked to be the victims son and the other two were his two friends, heath looks the men up and down and he soon clocks that all three are carrying guns, they stand still in a line looking at the lady on the floor who is being tended to by cate who also looks up to the three men who she recognized from earlier, and soon the men recognized cate and heath.

Both didn't know that when they witnessed three older men who looked to be about in there early twenty's badgering three young lads under the age of sixteen, forcing them to deal drugs if they didn't something nasty would happen to there family's, as cate and heath drove past they witnessed the heated exchange that the three men noticed and they wanted to get revenge on them and to make sure that they won't blab to the police about what they saw, but they didn't expect to see them so soon.

"No one is calling the police" says Dean.

"I remember you, a young lad and you had a heated discussion" says cate remembering the man's face.

"yeah wait you seen me this morning with a young lad" asks Dean pulling out his weapon and getting very annoyed to be identified as a drug dealer, so he puts the gun in cate's face.

"We did and we told the police about the boy and how old he is" sneers cate.

"You grass the pair of you" shouts dean lamping cate across the face with the butt of the gun knocking her to the ground clutching her cheek.

"Hey son what is going on here and what are they talking about" asks Jim looking to his son for answers?

"Nothing just stay out of it old man it's your two's fault that I am in this mess" shouts dean waving the gun.

"Dean is that your name, can I ask why is it your parents fault for being in this mess" asks Cate trying to get him to talk.

"They made me who I am today, they kicked me out and made me out of my house at a young age and left me to defend for myself and know they won't talk to me or help me" shouts dean.

"So you attacked your mom while your dad was out at work" asks Cate?

"yes I came here to get some money to pay off my debt but then mum walked in a caught me she went mad, she grabbed the phone but I tried to stop her then bobby over there intervened and hit her over the back of the head " explains Dean crying over what he had done.

"So why don't you put the gun down and let us help your mom because we will not help her until you put the gun down" says Cate.

"You got to help her know "shouts Jim.

"Hey Jim I think you're a nice guy and I don't want to lose my temper with you but you need to listen to my partner we can't treat her when we have guns pointed at our faces" reasons heath.

Jim grabs the gun from his son and points it towards cate and heath.

"Help her know I aint joking, if you don't one of you lot will get it, and I am not afraid to shoot my own disgrace of a son" says Jim pointing the gun between cate, heath and his son.

"Am sorry Jim but our answer is still the same" says Heath.

"Well then one of you is going to die today you lot choose" says Jim preparing to pull the trigger.

"I will do it, since I am the reason why we are in this mess again, like you say dad I am a disgrace and know thanks to you am in debt maybe if I get killed the vultures may stop harassing me for money" offers dean.

Jim prepares to shoot his own son when out of nowhere cate lunges in front of dean, bang the gun has been fired and soon heath and dean see the bullet hit cate in the right side near her hip.

"you idiots maybe you could put the gun down before someone else gets hurt, oh and just so you two idiots know she is pregnant so if she loses the baby I will pin it on both of you's " shouts heath getting down next to cate and attending to the gunshot wound.

The two men who walked in with dean ran off out the back door after Jim had shot cate, they figured out who their boss is and they decided they didn't want to be implicated in two murders, so they left leaving dean and his dad who is also the ring leader of the drug dealer the one who had ordered them to use children as drug mules.

"Hey were did your friends go" asks Heath?

"Don't know, maybe they finally figured out who their boss is" answers dean looking to his father.

"So who is your boss" asks Heath?

"don't know one day my dad kicked me out and then a day later I got a call telling me I have a package and a job, and the job was to deal drugs to young kids and make them get hooked, I didn't want to do it" cries Dean.

"hang on a minute you are the leader, you kicked your son out of the house so you could get him to deal your drugs, he didn't but you got your guys to beat him up the first time and they stuck to him like glue, and know you changed the rules once you figured out that the lads weren't making a profit so you told them to deal to young kids and get them to deal for you as well" shouts heath pointing to Jim figuring out that he is the nasty man and his son and his wife is the victim in all of this.

"yeah that was good know what about my wife she needs help and your friend is fine know so help her get her to hospital" shouts Jim.

"Jim like I told you earlier you having the gun in your hand is not going to make me help your wife, I am not risking anyone else's life by taking you or your wife to hospital" answers Heath.

"Fine dean get the trolley from the ambulance, if he won't take her then I will have to take all three of you" says Jim waving the gun.

Dean does as he is told and goes to the ambulance to get the trolley, he comes back with the trolley, while he is out of the house Jim beats cate while she is unconscious causing more facial bleeding, and bruising to the right side of her chest as Jim landed two solid kicks to her side, soon dean gets back in to the house with the trolley when he gets in there he looks to his dad and heath, to him they look to have a heated discussion and then he looks to the floor where cate is lay and he sees the blood covering her face.

"What happened" asks Dean?

"Oh don't worry son she woke up and started to attack me so I had to hurt her, but don't worry we will leave her here just me, your mom and the paramedic will go" explains Jim in his evil way.

"No we can't leave her here when she is bleeding" says Heath.

"Do as I say or him or her die" snarls Jim.

"Ok but let me put a line in her" asks Heath?

"Fine" agrees Jim.

Heath puts a line into cate's hand and attaches a drip and lets it run through, he takes off his radio and hers and lies them next to cate, and soon Jim, himself and dean are pushing the trolley out of the house and load her into the ambulance leaving cate bleeding out in the house of the drug dealers.
