Chapter Forty Nine
Ziggy didn't want to believe it at first, He refused to believe it but he saw the CCTV tape itself.
Katie hugged Danny, "Are you Okay hun?" he asked. "Yeah, what happened to your face?" Katie gathered some tissue from a role on his desk and handed it to him.
Danny wiped the blood away,"Slammed a door into my face. Anyway, Hows the job?" Danny sat down. Katie sat next to him.
"Great-"
Ziggy paused the tape. "Ziggy, I'm sorry" Lindsey massaged his shoulders. "She's married?" he choked out, "He could be a brother" She tried.
"No, it wasn't that kind of hug" Ziggy leant back.
The room was silent, "I'm texting her, she's coming around" Ziggy jumped up. "What?" snapped Sandy, "She needs to see exactly what her husband does to kids" Ziggy's texting was fast.
"He didn't do you know what to me just'" Robbie cut Jason off, "No but he would have, oh, nice punch at the end Anyway" Jason smiled.
The text was bland and simple, Katie was in her flat when she got it. No kisses or smiley faces, just "Come round mine now". Katie grabbed her jacket and didn't think twice.
Katie fidgeted, all the Roscoes eyes where on her. "Kate" Ziggy walked over to her where she stood.
"Yeah babe?" "Do you know a...Danny Lomax?" Jason shuddered at the name. Kate frowned, "Why?" "Just answer the question" Ziggy snapped.
Katie was hesitant, "Of course I do, he's my father".
"WHAT?" Katie jumped as the house of angry looking Roscoes started firing questions at her and were close to her. "Okay, I have questions of my own" Katie surrendered.
"Kate, your last name is Browne...not Lomax" Ziggy looked defeated, Katie smiled. "My mom and dad split up when I was 11 so I took my moms name"
Sandy walked over and rested a hand on Katie's shoulder. "We're going to show you something, This will hurt you and make you look at your dad differently" "What is it?" Kate was getting scared.
"I was in his room, the drama one and...he was very...inappropriate" Jason bit his lip. Robbie and Ziggy scoffed, "What did he do?" Panic was rising in Katie's chest.
Freddie pressed play.
Jason felt sorry for Katie, she was in complete disbelief. She watched with wide eyes until the end of the tape.
"Kate?" Ziggy put an arm around her. Katie broke down into horrified sobs and screams that muffled in Ziggy's shoulder, "Jason! Jason I'm sorry!" She hugged him.
Jason didn't pull away, "It wasn't you that tried to...you know, it was your dad". Katie pulled away, Sandy put an arm around her.
"I should've know, I should've known he'd do it again" Katie cried, her mascara running. "What did you say?" Lindsey stood up.
"Oh god...i haven't told anyone this...not even my mum" "It's Ok, he's not gonna hurt you" Joe said, He didn't find Danny. The creep must have left already.
"When my mum and dad split up, I had a best friend that helped me through everything. She was called Fiona, She came around for tea when I was stopping at my dads the weekend and...What he tried to do to you, he actually did do to her".
The room was dead silent.
"Her parents never found out, She moved away to Birmingham" Katie fell back into Ziggy's hug, "I'm never talking to him again".
"You don't have too, he's moving to Italy" Ziggy told her. "It's a maybe, Jason...And the rest of you, he isn't the one go stop. He'll try and mess with your head, acting like it never happened...he did that to Fiona" Katie sniffed and Sandy handed her a tissue.
"I'm a mess" she laughed as she wiped away the mascara. "We're not telling anyone about this ok? If he moves to Italy we never have to see him again" Sandy smiled at Jason.
"You can miss a couple days or more if you want to Jase, he's probably not going to be in" Joe looked at his youngest brother with concern.
"No, I'm fine, If he's not there I can go back" Jason grinned uneasily, Ziggy ruffled his hair. "Ziggy!" he growled and fixed it, Freddie and Lindsey looked at eachother.
"Oh god" Katie whined, "He's gonna come round and say goodbye" "Don't answer the door" Freddie shrugged. "I don't want to hear his voice".
"Look, if he comes around you can call me...I'm sure Joe and Fred would want to see him" Ziggy glanced up at Joe.
Robbie and Jason walked in the college, Hardly anyone was in so they walked to the abandoned bike sheds.
They saw Tommy chatting up Clarice. "So baby you wanna get together later? I can show you a good time?" "Ugh!" Clarice slapped Tommy around the face.
"Bad luck, shouldn't be so forward" Robbie shook his head as Jason laughed. "She wasn't my type anyway" Tommy shrugged, "Where's Liam?" "Ugh, He's in Spain, lucky sod".
Tommy shook his head jealously, Jason laughed.
"Morning Mr Roscoe" Jason froze, his face turned into a statues. Danny stood there smiling, his normal clothes on so kt was obvious he was leaving for Italy.
Jason looked at Robbie, he knew what was coming.
"No, Robbie don't!" Jason grabbed Robbie's arm as he flew for Danny. Tommy was gaping as Robbie punched Danny to the ground. "Tommy, get my brother" Jason was cringing as Robbie punched Danny again.
"Which one!" "Any!" Tommy half ran half jogged away.
Jason pulled Robbie back, Thankful no one was around. "Robbie! Do you want to go down for assault?" Jason shook him hard.
"Listen to your brother Robbie, he knows all the right words" Danny smirked, Robbie flew at him again but Jason blocked him. Danny chuckled and walked forward.
"Just thought I'd say Goodbye" "Just go before my other brothers get here" Jason glared at him.
"Why would I be scared?" "They know what you tried to do".
Danny walked up close to Jason, making him get instinctively nervous. Robbie was glaring at him from where he was was beibg held back by Jason.
"And what would that be?" Danny frowned at Jason, "You know what" "Say it" Danny grabbed his arm. Jason had a flashback of Danny pinning him up the wall.
Robbie punched Danny square in the jaw just as Joe rounded the corner.
Danny was just getting up when Joe hit him, they heard a sickening crack as Danny's nose snapped.
"Cool it Joe!" Jason held him back too, "You'll get done for assault!" "I don't care, I'm going to kill him" Joe bit back.
Danny chuckled annoyingly as he stood up, Tommy was no were to be seen.
"So this is Joe, the one you shouted when I was-" Jason kicked. He didn't aim for the shin or stomach he aimed for the face, Danny's head snapped back as Jason kicked out.
Danny collapsed into a heap. Joe gaped, "How the hell did you do that?" "Boxing" Jason shrugged.
He walked upto Danny who was still on the ground, "Where those boxing moves good enough for you?" he smirked and stood up.
Robbie clapped him on the back. Maybe he needed to join boxing classes?
Sandy whooped as she came down the stairs, her Lindsey and Kate where going to the club for a 'Girls night out' and she had promised to go on the karaoke.
Ziggy was taking Allie to Myras to sort out visitations, Theresa was living there though so it was unlikely he'd let her see him.
Freddie was already dropping off on the sofa and Joe was arguing with Robbie about college. Robbie had slashed a display at the art department, Jason had warned him not to but as per usual he didn't listen.
"Yeah yeah I get it, can we turn the TV down?" Robbie cringed. Joe turned it up, Robbie and him argued.
"Grow up and stop acting like a delinquent little scrot!" "You where like me! Your just trying to be my dad!" Robbie yelled. Joe hit him.
"Joe!" Jason gaped. Robbie stood up and stormed out, the front door slamming. Joe sighed, "Rob!" he shouted after him, Freddie was half asleep still.
"Stay there" Joe told Jason before jogging out to find Robbie.
Katie entered the door, "Oh...what I miss?" she looked around cluelessly. "Nothing...what you doing here?" Jason looked up from his Homework. "Oh, forgot my purse" "I'll help you find it" Jason needed an escape from work.
He jogged after Katie up the stairs, "You look in Zigs room, I'll check in mums" Jason opened the door of Sandy's room.
It was dark, Jason went to turn on the light when someone grabbed him from behind and spun him around, slamming him in the wall.
The door shut and the light was still off. "Nice kick you gave me Jason" Danny's voice broke the silence. Jason went to yell out but Danny forcibly covered his mouth.
"Thanks to you and your god damn brothers my daughter isn't speaking to me, I didn't do anything to you...Now I will, oh and I'd be surprised if Joe was alive after I hit him with the car" Jason's eyes widened. He knew it was lie but he told it convincingly.
"No one here to help Jase..." Danny smiled cruelly, Jason was half scared and half angry. He had just gotten over this, He hoped Katie realised he'd been gone.
Jason's wrists hurt ten times worse as Danny had put pressure on his bruise. Danny went right into Jason's face, "You know, I'm sure Kate told you about Fiona...It was pure luck you escaped unlike her" Jason tried to move away but Danny was way stronger.
"Jase?" Katie's voice sang in the hallway. Danny froze, Jason felt relief flood over him. Jason tried shouting but Danny's hand was still over his mouth (annoyingly).
Danny didn't want to risk Jason shouting out...or kicking him again. That kid could fight when he wanted to, Danny dragged him back.
He had to bite his tongue to keep from yelling as Jason kicked his shin, the pain vibrating all up his leg bone. Danny kept one hand over Jason's mouth and still dragged him to the darker wall. Stuff messing with this kids head he was going to kill him, he didn't want to risk getting arrested.
Jason kept shouting out but it was muffled and did no good, The TV was blaring and Kate had gone downstairs. Jason tried to shout again, he shouted and shouted growing more desperate. He didn't want to go through this again.
Danny mirrored his past actions and slipped his hand up Jason's top and around his waist. Jason shouted muffled, he tried to free his wrists, still crying out.
Danny pinned him up the wall, "They can't hear you Jase" He smiled. Jason couldn't get free, Oh my god, help, Freddie. Jason tried to move away but he just couldn't. It was like in the drama room, his wrists pinned behind his back and no way out.
Danny had his hand on Jason's waist. "Forgot to tell you, me and John paul are still together...don't worry he doesn't come close to you" Danny grabbed Jason's chin with his thumb and index finger again, Jason's heart was beating fast. He just wanted to die to get away from this.
Danny kissed him, Jason pulled back. A muffled cry escaping his lips but Danny kissed him, Jason hated the feeling. When George had kissed him, they joked about it after. Even Robbie had joined in.
Jason realised how Freddie would feel, this happening literally above his head. Jason pulled to the side away, Danny hit him. "Get the fuck off!" Jason was cut off when Danny covered his mouth.
Katie had probably gone back out. "Jason, just shut up" Danny laughed, that made it worst. Jason tried to move but still couldn't, he got chills as Danny's hand slid like a snake across his stomach.
"Not so full of yourself now are we? Hmm?" Danny tried to kiss him but Jason thought fast.
He turned to the side, "Freddie!" he screamed out. Danny punched him, knocking him to the floor. Jason kicked Danny, he collapsed with a help.
"Fred! Freddie!" Jason shouted.
Jason kicked Danny again, he was still on the floor. The door burst open, "Jase!" Freddie grabbed Jason's arm and yanked him up. Jason couldn't help but smile slightly, he thought he'd never get out of it.
Danny stood up, "You should be ashamed, letting that happen to your little, no, baby brother...Right under your nose, metres away" Freddie flew at him but Danny collapsed before Freddie touched him.
Danny clutched his chest.
"Heart...heart attack" Danny wheezed. Jason stared, Freddie instinctively put an arm around Jason. "We call 999, tell them he came around to tutor you...and he collapsed" Freddie said as Danny slipped into unconsciousness. Jason nodded.
Danny didn't survive and there where no questions asked.
