Thank you so much to JasonFTW, xXx, FR-brokenxhearts-LB, Sophie, guest and guest for reviewing. I'm so happy that you're all still enjoying this story and I hope you enjoy what's to come :)

Prompted by Gillian Kearney Fan- Lindsey has not been revealed as the GHK. It's her sister Kim, instead, but instead of their sister Kath lying ill in hospital, it's Lindsey because Kim drowned her when they were little. Unable to do anything for herself, Lindsey is just lying there in hospital, Kim thinks she is being kind if she injects Lindsey to put an end to her pain but will anyone catch her and can Lindsey be saved. (Freddie is not the one to catch her)

Chapter 23- how low have you sunk?

Lindsey lay there, not doing anything. She could hear, but she didn't move or talk, but people still visited her. Her sister Kim visited her the most, and then all the Roscoes did too. They'd been a family friend for years and Joe and Lindsey had been together, before the 'accident.'

"How was Lindsey?" Joe asked Kim as she arrived home. "She was fine" Kim replied, sounding irritated. She was sick of the Roscoes, why did they have to meet them all those years ago? Lindsey was her sister, not theirs and it really annoyed her. Joe acted like he was still her boyfriend, Freddie acted like he was the one that got away, Ziggy tried to be all sympathetic but it didn't work; then you had the twins, Robbie and Jason.

They both seemed to be the opposites of each other. Kim had noticed that whenever Robbie came to visit he always seemed awkward and uncomfortable. Whereas Jason was sensitive and knew what to say and do, mind you though, that probably came with being a police officer. None of them knew Lindsey like she did, she knew Lindsey.

"Well thats good, I was thinking about going to see her tomorrow" Joe said and Kim cringed. "Erm tomorrow's not that good" Kim said trying to stop Joe from visiting. "Ah why not?" Freddie asked walking into the room. "Just cos" Kim said before grabbing her things and walking out the house before anyone could stop her. "What was all that about?" Freddie asked. Joe shrugged; he had no idea.

Kim hurried down the street and into the village, she had to get some things for Lindsey. She walked into price slice and started looking at the cakes and biscuits. She picked out some chocolate teacakes, some chocolate fingers, Swiss rolls and fairy cakes all knowing that Lindsey would like them, despite not being able to eat them. After paying at the till and making as little eye contact and conversation with Simone, Kim made her way back to the hospital.

Ziggy was at the garage humming away to himself as he usually did, when his phone beeped. Ziggy frowned; he hadn't been with any girls the night before, so it wasn't some fit bird. He dug his hand in pocket and pulled out his phone, revealing that the text was from Joe.

Hey Zig, tomorrow we're gonna surprise Lindsey and go and see her. You in? Joe asked and Ziggy smiled, course he was. After texting Joe back Ziggy carried on with his day, excited for tomorrow.

Kim arrived at the hospital and walked straight up to Lindsey's room. She smiled at a few nurses on her way, she had no choice, but then she finally made it to her sister's room. "Hey linds" she said walking into the room and sitting down next to her. "I got us some snacks Linds" Kim said as she pulled out the food from the bag and put it on the bed. She opened the chocolate fingers and ate one, before getting one out for her sister. "You want it Linds?" Kim asked as she put the chocolate to her mouth, but of course Lindsey didn't eat it. Kim frowned, "oh well, more for me."

"Right then so what's this we're doing tomorrow then?" Freddie asked he joined the rest of the family in the living room. "We are gonna go and see Lindsey tomorrow" Joe said. "Yeah we know that, but why are we going. We only seen her a few weeks ago" Robbie said. "Because, Kim said we shouldn't but I think we should, so we're gonna go and surprise her" Joe explained and Roscoes nodded, seeing where their brother was coming from.

"So what time we gonna leave?" Jason asked. "10am, so make sure you're all ready" Joe said before walking out and the rest of the family did the same.

"I told them Roscoes that they shouldn't come and see you, that means me and you will be happy" Kim told Lindsey. Kim groaned, she was becoming frustrated, Lindsey didn't even respond to anything she said and she wondered whether she would just be better off dead. That way she would be happy, not having to live the life she was living.

"I've got an idea" Kim said to Lindsey as she leaned in closer to her sister. "Do you wanna hear it? Yeah, course you do." Kim smiled, she'd done this before and never been caught and Lindsey's body was so frail that a heart attack wouldn't be questioned. "Tomorrow, I'm going to get my special kit and I'm going to help you and you'll thank me forever."

Kim spent the night with Lindsey, not wanting to leave her side. She'd popped back to the hospital to get her kit but then went back, wanting to be by her side. Kim knew what she was doing and why she was doing it. For Lindsey. It wasn't wrong, she was helping somebody and there's nothing wrong with that. Kim put her head back against the chair and closed her eyes, tomorrow everything was going to go to plan.

"Right Jason are you nearly ready!" Joe shouted up the stairs. He hadn't seen him that morning and it was 9:30 so they had half an hour before they were supposed to leave. "Yeah!" Jason shouted as he came down the stairs. "Right you've got half an hour" Joe told him. "Yes, I know" Jason said, rolling his eyes.

Kim woke up and looked over at Lindsey, she was motionless and this confirmed Kim's thoughts that she was doing the 'right' thing. "You sleep alright?" A nurse asked as she walked into the room. "Fine" Kim replied, plastering on a smile. The nurse sorted out Lindsey's sheets and cleaned up the room in general, Kim secretly growled at the nurse; she was doing Kim's jobs. Once the nurse was finished, she smiled at Kim as she walked out.

It was 10am and to Joe's surprise everyone was ready. "Right then, let's go" he said, walking out the door and into his car along with everyone else. Joe, Robbie and Jason were in one car, while Freddie and Ziggy were in another car.

20 minutes later Joe, Robbie and Jason had arrived at the hospital. Freddie and Ziggy had tried to be clever and take a different route but now they would be late. "You two go along, I'm just gonna sign us in" Joe said as Jason and Robbie wondered off down the corridor while Joe stood at reception.

"Now then Lindsey, this won't hurt one bit" Kim said as she got the needle ready for Lindsey. Kim smiled, she might have done this to Lindsey but now she's making it right. She put on her gloves, took the needle in her hand and moved closer to Lindsey.

"Oi Jase, have you seen this?" Robbie asked, showing Jason a picture of one of Ziggy's photos from his latest modelling shoot. "Haha" Jason laughed, seeing how ridiculous his brother looked. He was dressed as a fire fighter but with too much fake tan. The boys turned a corner and walked down as Lindsey's room was only a couple of metres down.

Kim took a hold of Lindsey's hand and held it up. She looked into Lindsey's eyes and for the first time since Lindsey had been in hospital, she looked into Kim's eyes. Kim just stared at Lindsey for a minute before whispering, "I'm doing this for you." She brought the needle to Lindsey's skin. "I love you." However just as Kim was about to inject, the door opened.

Robbie and Jason were glued to the spot, what had they just walked in on? Kim froze. What was she supposed to say? The three of them stood there in silence, the needle still evident in Kim's hand. "What are you doing?" Robbie asked only just managing to get the words out. Kim just stood there, she felt sick. Jason watched on, he couldn't speak. "What were you doing Kim?" Jason asked, still feeling sick.

After a few minutes of standing there, staring blankly at each other, Joe walked in. "Right then, Freddie and Ziggy will be-" but he was cut off by the sight before him. Jason and Robbie were standing closely to each other, while Kim was standing by Lindsey with gloves on and a needle in her hand. "What's going on?" Joe asked firmly.

No one could answer, because really only one of them knew what was going on. "Well, I'm waiting for an answer" Joe said, not taking his eyes off the needle in Kim's hand. Jason sighed, knowing that no one would talk, he decided to speak up. "We got here and Kim was about to inject Lindsey" Jason explained and Joe frowned."You were trying to do what!" Joe shouted. Kim looked down, "it's what Lindsey would have wanted." Joe scoffed, "what Lindsey would have wanted? How do you know what she wants?"

Robbie and Jason both rolled their eyes, "you're mad, like proper mad." Joe turned to look at Jason. "Call the police" he instructed and Jason did so. "I'm gonna go and tell the staff" Robbie said and Joe nodded as Robbie walked out.

"What's in that needle?" Joe asked, getting closer to Kim as if he was protecting Lindsey. "Its nothing" Kim replied moving it behind her but Joe stopped her, managing to get a hold of it. "I'll save this for the police."

10 minutes later the police arrive and so did Ziggy and Freddie. "What have we missed?" Ziggy asked getting out the car just as the police went into the building. "I dunno" Freddie said getting out the car and joining his brother. "We better go and find out" he said walking into the hospital followed by Ziggy.

Freddie and Ziggy walked down the corridor and were shocked by what they saw. Kim was being handcuffed and walked down the corridor by a policeman while Joe was handing the other policeman something that looked like a needle.

"What's going on?" Ziggy asked as the second policeman walked past. "I'll explain later" Joe said as he walked back into Lindsey's room, followed by the two remaining brothers. The Roscoes spent the rest of the day with Lindsey and still no one told Freddie and Ziggy what had happened, that could wait until they got home.

"So what did the police say?" Freddie asked as the family arrived home that night. He and Ziggy had been filled in on what had happened and they were just as shocked as everyone else. "She's gonna go down for years" Joe said bringing in the beer for everybody as they sat down after an eventful and unexpected day.
