Chapter 31 Chris and Leah. Leah. It was still dark outside when I heard tapping on my bedroom door the next morning. "Hello?" I asked sleepily as I pulled myself up the bed to a seated position, Trish popped her head around the corner of the door. "I'm really sorry to wake you so early Leah may I come in?" "Uh, yes." Trish was wearing a pair of stretch jeans that were frayed at the knees and a cute tee shirt, she came over to the side of my bed and sat next to me, she then held her arms out and said, "may I?" I just nodded as she hugged me. "I so wanted to come in and tuck you in last night, like I used to do when you were little." I started to smile as I remembered that he used to read me stories when I was little too. "Oh Trish you could have checked under my bed for monsters too." Trish's face brightened and she started to grin. "You can still remember me doing that?" I nodded. "I can, I've been remembering lots of the things my big strong brother used to do for me, like taking me to the park and to my Ballet class and even sometimes to Brownies when Dad was working late." I watched as Trish's smile slowly faded into a flat smile bordering on a frown. "I suppose that you will just have to settle for a big and not so strong sister now?" "Settle no, learn to love yes, I decided last night, before I went to sleep, that I would like to get to know my new sister a lot better. I think that she might be just as nice a person as my brother was, if not nicer." I looked at Trish, her expression had changed once more her eyes were glistening and then her lip started to tremble at the exact moment that a tear ran down her face, she almost lunged at me and hugged me really tightly. "Oh Leah thank you, thank you, thank you, I was so worried." I hugged her back. After a few seconds she broke our hug Trish took a paper hankie from the box by my bedside and started to dab at her eyes. "Sorry Leah my emotions have been all over the place since I got your text, I still can't believe that you are actually here with me." "I think you are going to be stuck with me at least for a while Trish, I don't think I'll be going home any time soon, so what is happening today?" "Ah yes, I have a mission to do with Bob and Peggy for at least this morning Leah, but Mrs Trish has volunteered to keep you company until your tutor gets here and then this afternoon..." "My what?" "Oh didn't Joy mention she's employed a tutor to come in and help you with your English Lit course." I didn't know how to take this news. "But I only mentioned it yesterday." "Oh Leah you have a lot to learn about the Stevenson's, especially Joy. She's probably already contacted your night classes and if I know her she will be plotting to get your course work back for you." "What! from home? no that would be really dangerous please tell her not to go there, not just to get my notes?" Trish didn't reply to that, she simply said. "I'll give you a little privacy to get dressed." I just couldn't ask Trish to leave it somehow felt right having her with me. "No please stay I'll just be a few minutes." I got out of bed and went to my bathroom first then after washing re- entered the bedroom I was a little surprised to see that Trish had made my bed for me like she'd done when she was still my brother and not a cross dresser with boobs or whatever she was now, I was even more surprised when she turned to face away as I pulled off my nightie, I quickly slipped into my bra and pulled a very soft tee shirt over my head and slipped a pair of jogging leggings up my smooth legs, Trish turned and asked if she could do my hair as I was lacing up the lovely pink plimsolls that had been provided for me. "Do you fancy pigtails or a little ponytail?" I jokingly replied, "Pigtails please." As that was the only style my brother had mastered before I started doing my hair for myself so was a little surprised when she plaited my hair into pigtails ending in two pink flowery bobbles. "There you go, I think Terri is going to love these when she sees them." It had been some time since I'd had pigtails and it seemed like fun, so I just accepted them. "C'mon I'll take you down to breakfast, or would you prefer a walk first?" "Do you think we could go for a walk please?" "No problem, I'm letting Chris have lie in this morning as the last couple of days have taken a bit of a toll on her so take my hand and I'll give you the quick tour." Trish held my hand tightly as we left my room and headed downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs she left me for a second and returned with a couple of warm coats and soon we had both left the house and were heading around towards the back of the house. "Do you see the end outhouse over there near to the garage Leah? That is where I did lots of work for the foundation year of my degree course." "You, you're doing a degree?" I asked. "Yes, in Electrical Engineering with Susan and I'm loving it, in the outhouse at the moment Dix and I are getting close to finishing a radio-controlled model aeroplane." "So you still build models then Trish?" "Yes, I know it's not very girly is it, but I just couldn't give models up as they will always remind me of who I once was and I still do love making them." "Who's Dix?" "Ah yes. Dix is a retired Marine, he can be a bit grumpy at times but he's lovely really and Joy really likes him, he's only recently started working here. Oh and over there is the garage that is sort of Matt Stevenson's man shed, he likes to tinker with his cars there, when he's not running his business empire with his wife, Alice and Joy. Joy loves to help him with his cars and Susan sometimes too." I didn't want to show my ignorance, so I didn't ask who Matt Stevenson was. It was cold outside and there was a little grass frost on the lawns of the seemingly vast grounds of the Stevenson mansion, but the sky was clear and although it was just about light, the moon and a couple of stars could still be seen in the sky. We walked around the gardens for some time just talking and, on our way back, Trish pointed out two dark figures down by a lake in the distance. "Can you see down there Leah? That's Susan, she's jogging with Terry, she goes jogging every morning before going to the Gym, I sometimes tag along too." "She's your friend then?" I asked. "Yes, she befriended me on my first day here and we've been friends ever since." I'd been hearing noises to my left for some time now coming from an old looking barn, so I pointed at it and asked. "So what's happening over there Trish?" "Oh yes, that is where Joy and Susan usually train with Aliza after their morning jogs; before they go to breakfast. Wanna have a look?" she asked mischievously, I nodded and still holding my hand she guided me over to the barn and through a small side door. Inside the gym was Joy, Aliza and Silvanus! Joy was attacking a large bag hanging by chains from the ceiling and even though she was red in the face and covered with sweat she looked lovely, she was dressed very casually in shorts and a loose tee shirt and was also wearing thick footless tights, Silvia was on a very large padded mat with Aliza and they both seemed to be doing stretches and then what looked like slow motion fighting. Aliza noticed us after a while and came over to us. "Hello there girls, want to come onto the mat or are you just watching today?" "Not for me today Aliza I'm meeting with Bob shortly." "And you Leah?" I didn't know what to say, Aliza seemed to sense my reticence. "I tell you what why don't you just sit and watch for a while and when you feel comfortable just slip your shoes off and stand at the edge of the mat; you'll have fun I promise." I sat quietly with Trish until Bob came looking for her. "I'm sorry little sis gotta go, but I'll be back later I promise." Trish kissed me on the cheek as she left me and left with Bob and Peggy who I assumed to be his girlfriend or fianc?e, I was now by myself and wasn't sure what to do next, so I just watched the people on the mat. Susan burst through the door a few minutes later with her little sister Terri on her back they were both giggling about something. Susan came over to me and lowered Terri onto the bench beside me. "Good morning Leah," said Susan. "I likes your hair Leeyah," stated Terri shyly. "You coming onto the mat Leah?" "I don't know if..." Terri and Susan then both grabbed my hands and attempted to pull me up which I hesitantly did and followed them to the edge of the mat where Terri kicked off her little shoes, I followed suit and with Terri and Susan holding my hands we waited to be invited onto the mat by her mum who was now coming towards us. It was nearly an hour later and slightly out of breath that Terri finally allowed me to leave the mat she was a little dynamo and seemed to have almost limitless energy as Aliza guided her and I through several exercises, Aliza had somehow managed to do something that my PE teachers at school had never managed to do and had made exercise fun to do. Terri was looking tired now and had started to suck her thumb, so I returned to the benches with her to watch, Terri started off by sitting next to me and then leaning against me and finally she just lay on the bench and rested her head in my lap and fell asleep whilst sucking her thumb. I then watched in amazement as Susan and Aliza fought with each other and after a while I watched as Silvia and Joy fought. I had thought that Joy would have shown some aggression towards Silvia when fighting but she seemed to be deliberately avoiding areas on her body that had either dressings on or were bruised, even so their fight was very impressive and for such an old woman Silvia was lightning fast. When the fighting ended Joy helped Silvia up from the mat, they were both smiling. As Joy approached me she smiled at her little daughter. "It must be jet lag," Joy said to me whilst pointing at Terri who was now open-mouthed dribbling slightly onto my leg and very asleep. "She just nodded off Mrs Stevens..." "Joy, just Joy, would you like to carry her back to the house?" I smiled. "May I?" "Of course, just slip your arms under her, she's really light." Joy was right Terri was quite light and once disturbed she woke momentarily and then quickly made herself comfortable once more before once again going back to her dreams. I held Terri firmly as I got up. "I'll walk with you back to the house Leah, have you eaten breakfast yet?" "Not yet, Trish showed me around a little before breakfast and I seemed to get sucked into your gym class." She laughed just like her daughter Susan, almost childlike but very endearing. After leaving the old barn I walked with Joy as we headed back to the big house. "Do you have everything you need Leah, enough clothing, underwear?" "Oh yes thank you, I have more than enough, everyone has been so kind." "Good, if you need anything please let us know and we will get it for you." "I was wondering, could I contact home? I know that my mum told Rufus where I was staying but she is still my mum and I worry about her." "Yes of course you can, but I'm afraid that for your own safety it would need to be supervised and on a secure line, oh and you mustn't tell your mum where you are now." "Oh that'll be easy Joy as I don't really have much of a clue where I am anyway." "I'll arrange for you to call your mum after lunch if that's okay?" "Yes thank you, oh will Trish be back by then?" "Yes, she should be Leah and I must apologise for taking her away from you this morning, but I really needed her help." "Is this about those two girls the twins?" Joy's face changed and as she opened the large front door she said, "Yes Leah, Trish is lending us her flat for a few days, I'm hoping that the twins will gain an appreciation of what it would be like to live on a very tight budget." "You're letting them live in a flat?" "Yes, but they will be supervised at all times and it should hopefully only be for a couple of days." I could tell by the tone of Joy's voice that what she was doing to her twins was upsetting her but that she also cared greatly for them. "If there is anything that I can do to help Joy, please just ask." She smiled weakly and said, "Thank you Leah, now if we just take Terri through here into one of the guest rooms." I walked through to a small bedroom on the ground floor and placed Terri onto a bed and Joy placed pillows either side of her. "She'll be okay like that, now let us get ourselves some well-earned breakfast, shall we?" I followed Joy through to the dining room where Susan and Silvanus had already started eating and were joined after a few minutes by Aliza. "We had a delivery just before mum, the new grille for the 99 and a replacement rubber bumper, it weighs a ton." "And the Bonnet?" "The replacement has been colour-matched and sprayed, we should have it in a couple of days." I listened to Joy and her daughter talking about cars for most of breakfast as though it was the most natural thing for a mother and daughter to do, they both seemed to be quite knowledgeable and then they started talking about Silvanus's car. "Have you had a chance to look at Silvanus's car yet Suzy?" "I have." "And?" "I can't figure out how it works mum?" Joy chuckled a little "I mean I know it works but I just can't figure out how it goes, I mean it hasn't even got a distributor." "It doesn't need one Suzy as it uses a wasted spark, and as it is air cooled like Grandpa's Porsche it doesn't need a radiator or any coolant either." "So what's the fan at the front for then mum?" "The oil cooler mostly, I'm actually looking forward to having a look at it myself later." Silvanus was now smiling and she added her own comment. "I believe that it has nearly twenty horsepower, more than enough for me." Chapter 32 My New Sister's Wife Just as I was finishing breakfast, Chris, Trish's wife turned up, she immediately apologised to Aliza for something and then sat next to me after kissing me on the cheek. She ate a small breakfast and chatted to me happily as though she'd known me all of my life, Chris was lovely and I could see why my sister had fallen for her I was however curious as to why she always wore a wide choker necklace, today's consisted of three rows of black beads arranged into a thick band, I even commented at how pretty it was. After breakfast I was informed by one of the Stevenson staff that my tutor would be arriving a little later than expected and that they had cordoned off and set aside a desk in the library for me to study, so Chris held my arm and said. "Let's go and see." So we both headed off to the library, Chris smiled as we entered but I was astounded, the rear corner of the library area had been sectioned off with portable screens and on a large table within the screened off area had been placed several coursework books, pens, pencils and notebooks and what appeared to be a brand-new laptop. "Is this all for me?" "Yes I believe it is Leah." Stated Chris, I started to look through the text books. "But I'm sure that this is every book on the list I got at the start of term, It's just too much." I sat on the comfortable seat and opened some of the workbooks browsing through them quickly as Chris stood by my side and couldn't believe just how quickly this had all been set up for me. "Now all you have to do is study hard and pass your exams Leah." "I don't think that'll be too difficult Chris, It's so quiet and peaceful in here." I said as I stared at my new study space, I then turned to see Chris smiling at me. "I was wondering if you would like a walk through the woods and down by the lake before lunch Leah? It'll give us a chance to get to know each other a little better." I nodded and within minutes we were both leaving the Stevenson house wrapped up warm against the cold weather, Chris held my gloved hand as we walked. The Stevenson estate seemed to be vast, comprising of some very manicured gardens that gave way to natural woodland, farmland and a lake, this was surrounded eventually on three sides by moorland. I walked mostly silently with Chris as she pointed out various points of interest along the way, Chris was not in a hurry to do anything and walked quite slowly and also seemed to have a perpetual smile on her face. On the way we met a man called Daniel and his lovely, but very large, dog. He was the game keeper. Eventually we reached a viewpoint that overlooked a lake. "It's lovely here, sometimes in the summer Trish and I come here and have picnics." I looked out over the lake and could see that there were the beginnings of ice forming on the southern shore nearest to us. "It's a little cool for a picnic today though." I commented, Chris giggled a little at my comment and agreed with me. "It's very romantic here Leah, sometimes on summer evenings Trish and I come up here and sit together over there on the bench, snuggle into each other and look out over the lake." I looked over at the simple bench seat on an outcrop of rock and imagined sitting there with Darren in the sunshine cuddling and then remembered sadly that we were no longer going out together. Chris must have noticed my mood change as she asked. "You were thinking about your boyfriend, um Darren, weren't you? I'm so sorry Leah, I heard that he broke up with you." "We were so happy Chris but after his beating he just said that he didn't want to see me again and told me to go." Chris squeezed my hand tightly. "And you believed him? Did you not consider that he may have been warned by the people that beat him up to stay away from you?" I turned and faced Chris who now looked serious. "You mean he was warned away from me by Rufus and his cronies?" "Well, that would certainly explain his sudden change of heart over your relationship wouldn't it?" I didn't want to talk about Darren any more though as it was upsetting me. As we walked back towards the big Stevenson house Chris said. "If it keeps getting colder Leah I think that we may actually have a white Christmas for once." I was however wondering if I would still be here by Christmas and what the new year would bring being separated from my mum and big sister. I then had another thought and wondered if Joseph had felt this way when he'd been sent to live with Dad up in Scotland. "You're being very quiet Leah, I hope that I haven't upset you, have I?" Asked Chris, turning to look at me I could see the concern in her face. "No Chris you haven't, but I am a little worried about what will happen to me in the future." "That is understandable Leah, but you will always have your new big sister and sister in law to help you, oh and your friend Silvia, she seems to really like you." it was a nice gesture from Chris, but I wasn't quite convinced, so I changed the subject. "If you don't mind me asking Chris how did you and Trish meet?" I watched Chris's expression change and a smile form. "She helped me out on my first evening in Middlesbrough Leah, she gave me the number of the Stevenson charity and even waited with me until their minibus came to pick me up, I was a runaway you see?" "You ran away from home?" "Yes and Trish, on noticing me, came over helped me, that was the first time." "Did Trish still look like a boy then Chris?" "No not really she was actually working the streets that night." "Oh." "You did know that Trish once worked as a prostitute, didn't you?" asked Chris cautiously, I nodded my head. "Yes but h, she now looks so pretty I always thought that prostitutes looked old and haggard and wore too much makeup like my sister Hailey does." "I think that in the end Trish only sold her body in order to supplement the wages from her day job once she'd become clean of drugs and to help pay for her courses, she was determined to better herself." "May I ask you a question please?" "Of course Leah, anything." "Do you love her?" We were now nearing the big house and Chris turned to me and her eyes glistened as she answered. "With all my heart Leah, yes I do, and I hope that you will soon understand why I love her so much." As we entered the house I noticed that Alice and Joy were in the entrance hall Joy was dressed casually and had her coat on, she was hugging Alice, they then kissed before Joy picked up a very old and battered leather school satchel, she stopped by Chris and I and said. "Just off out for a while girls, I believe that Dawn is doing fish cakes or fish fingers for lunch today as Mrs Burton is off onto town to do some Christmas shopping with her daughter." she then joined Aliza and Silvia who had just entered from the dining room. Joy then left the house with them. "I wonder where they are off too?" I commented, Chris frowned a little. "It's probably best not to ask." She answered. Chapter 33 The Twins Punishment. Trish. I knew that Joy was furious with Lucy and Dawn as she had cut their holiday short because of their behaviour. I travelled with Terry and two very subdued Twins this morning into Middlesbrough and we were now entering the west end, where I still owned a flat. Within minutes Terry had located my street and had parked outside. "Come on girls out you get." Terry said to the Twins who were still sitting in the back of the car with an obvious look of 'Where the hell are we?' on their faces. I smiled at them both "It'll be okay I promise, it's where I used to live." I said in an effort to reassure them. Lucy and Dawn then got out of the car and stood by the car nervously looking around as I opened the front door to my flat. "Come in, it's not that bad honest." They both followed me up the stairs and into the living room where waiting for us was Bob and Peggy. "Prisoners reporting for duty Sir." Said Terry brightly as the two nervous twins entered the living room, Bob frowned. "You're not helping." Bob stated to Terry. "Sorry Bob," Said Terry but I could tell he didn't mean it. "Okay girls for the next few days you will both be living here in Trish's old flat." "What, that's it?" Asked Lucy. "No Lucy that is not it, you are both going to live here but during the day you will be going to work at one of your Grandpa's businesses as a sort of work experience." "Will we get paid Mr Bob?" Asked Dawn "Yes Dawn, you will be paid the national minimum wage each for the hours that you work which is?" He looked at me "Seven pounds twenty an hour Bob, both Lucy and Dawn will be paid as though they are adults." "Yes you will be both paid seven pounds twenty for each hour that you work and that will work out at about?" he looked at me once more. "That will be for a thirty-seven-and-a-half-hour week each, so in total you will get five hundred and forty pounds a week between you to live on." "Yay" said the twins. "Minus tax, pension and national insurance that will take it down to oh let's say three hundred and sixty pounds." The twin's faces started to lose their smile. "And as I'm now your landlady I would like oh let's say four hundred a month rent. So that is going to take your total down for one weeks rent to one hundred pounds and deducting that from your pay leaves you with two hundred and sixty pounds for the week." The twins were now looking decidedly unsure of themselves. "I've already worked out how much on average you would pay for gas and electric for the week so let's just deduct twenty-eight more pounds from your total that will leave you with two hundred and thirty-two pounds." I went on for nearly five more minutes deducting money for weekly payments on the TV licence council tax, broadband fees, subscription TV fees and others. Dawn and Lucy's faces dropped further and further as I explained to them how to work out a household budget and I even started to feel a little sorry for them as they had never in their life known any real hardship and it was just starting to dawn on them that this wasn't just a game. I showed them around the flat and explained the cooker, washing machine and tumble dryer to them and then showed them where they would be sleeping. "This is usually my room girls, I see that your mum has already had my old bed removed and your own beds placed in it with some clothing essentials too." "But it's so small Trish." Commented Lucy. "Yes it is Lucy, but it was all that I could afford at the time and one day I will own it." "What! You don't even own your own flat Trish?" "No I pay a mortgage every month and as soon as it is paid off I will then own the flat," I then showed the twins the bathroom and the box room where I used to make my models. Bob then took over. "Now girls you will now start to live independently and manage your own finances for the next few days, Peggy will accompany you everywhere that you go and Terry will be in the background to keep you out of trouble, any questions?" Lucy put her hand up. "Yes Lucy," "I want to go home." She had tears in her eyes and looked genuinely upset, I went over and hugged her and whispered into her ear. "I know that you can do this Lucy, try and be brave." I passed her a tissue and said. "As you won't be going into work until tomorrow, why don't you both go shopping as you will be needing food and essentials." The twins perked up a bit at this and I handed over their money for the week. Terry and Peggy then escorted the twins from the house. Bob stayed with me and gestured for me to follow him, we entered my old workshop and both looked out of the window, Lucy and Dawn were standing by Terry's car waiting to be let in and seemed very put out at being told that they would be going to the high street on the bus. "They're not bad girls, Bob just a little immature that's all." "I know Trish, I know and thank you for your help this morning. I know that you would much rather have spent the time with Leah." "Chris is with her at the moment Bob, but I can't wait to get back to Stevenson Towers to see her," "I understand Trish, did you know that Joy is going to pay your mother a visit today? "Why? What on earth for?" "She wants to get some of Leah's personal belongings and her study notes, but mostly I think she wants to see what kind of a woman would sell her own daughter to a drug dealer." "Bob she's still my mother you know? And despite everything she's done we were once a happy family." "I know Trish that deep down you love both of your parents, but from what I have been told by Leah and Silvanus I believe that your mum may actually be mentally ill. Now that doesn't condone what she tried to do to your sister, but it should give you some hope for her future, I'm surprised that her doctor hasn't noticed her erratic behaviour before now." I laughed. "For that to happen you'd need to visit the doctors Bob." "Hmm yes I suppose but surely someone in her community must have noticed her behaviour?" "In poorer areas Bob people have enough to cope with in their own lives without sticking their noses into other people's business, so she was probably just tolerated by the neighbours, it probably would be best to speak with Leah about it though, not me." "You know I've spent my entire career breaking down minds to get information and, in some cases, rebuilding them. But this whole council estate mentality has me completely bamboozled. I know that it is a kind of institutionalisation where people start to expect others to do everything for them, but I just can't understand why more don't try and escape from it." "Ha that's really easy to say Bob but most people are inherently lazy and unless challenged to prove otherwise they will stay that way." "No Trish, that's not true." "Get your coat on, we'll go for a walk." Bob put his coat on and we both left my little flat together. It didn't take long before we were walking along one of the many terraced streets near my flat and as we approached the local Post Office I noticed a young girl of nine or ten putting a toddler into a pushchair, the girl strapped the toddler into the chair and placed a warm hat on the child's head and then popped a dummy into its mouth before leaving her house and heading down the street. "Shouldn't that girl be at school Trish?" asked Bob "Probably Bob, but then who would care for the toddler?" "Her mother would." "Yeah right, she's probably sleeping off whatever she did last night, look in the girls hand she has a benefits card. She's probably going to the Post Office to get money out." We stayed back and watched as the girl parked her buggy outside the Post office then struggled to get the toddler out of the pushchair, they both entered the post office and within a minute or two had returned but now with money. The girl and the toddler then went into the convenience store next door. "I'm guessing she'll come out with some food for her little sister, junk food for herself and supplies for her mum." Bob just stood transfixed and stared at the shop door. "That little girl is probably running the household single handed at the moment as her mum will almost certainly spend most of her time shit faced or stoned out of her skull, and unless that lass somehow manages to escape from her own self-imposed poverty trap in the future she'll end up just like her mum." The girl exited the shop with the toddler who was now happily sucking on a lolly whilst the girl was carrying a carrier bag and in her hand a packet of cigarettes. Bob sighed. "Trish this is unreal, almost Dickensian, this is the twenty first century for heaven's sake." "I'm sorry bob but I have seen this scenario all too often around the area, I'm surprised that Peggy hasn't told you about what happens in these places." "No Trish she rarely mentions her past." "I sometimes think that of all the Stevenson family Matt and Iona are the wisest, as they somehow seem to understand how these people think." "And he only donates to constructive projects, I've noticed that too Trish." "Come on I'll get you a cup of tea Bob. I'm freezing, I think I'm starting to get soft in my old age." I took Bob over to my old favourite corner caf? I had tea and Bob had coffee and a sticky bun. His phone pinged, he looked at the screen and smiled. "It seems that Joy has arrived in Harrogate and is about to pay your mum a visit Trish, oh and Harry has taken it upon himself to move Leah's young man to a hospital up here in Middlesbrough so that he can supervise his care." "I'm being helped by the Stevenson's again aren't I Bob?" Bob looked quizzically at me. "No Trish not this time, this time you are part of the team helping a young lady in difficulties reunite with her estranged sister, Joy and her family are just assisting." Bob was twisting my words to make me feel better and it was working. "Thank you Bob." I looked at him. "I wonder how Leah and Chris are getting on?" "I would imagine that they are both eagerly awaiting you're return Trish so why don't you pootle off back to Stevenson towers and I'll head back to your flat." "Okay Bob, I think I will oh and don't be too interrogatey with the twins I feel a little sorry for them." "Off you go Trish." I left Bob in the caf? and headed back to the old flat but instead of entering I just got into my car and started the journey back to Stevenson towers and my little sister. Chapter 34 Beverley and Hailey Get an Unexpected Visit. Joy. I had thought that some of the run down neighbourhoods in Newcastle were bad as I was growing up but wasn't quite prepared for how bad Leah's mum's street was, this street seemed to be the sink street on a sink estate, I found it curious that some of the houses however looked to be well tended and looked after with well-manicured gardens whereas others were in a poor state of repair with rubbish strewn gardens. Aliza Silvia and I parked the car and walked up to Leah's front door. Aliza pressed the bell, but it didn't seem to work so she then started to rap on the small knocker that was integrated into the letterbox. After some time a very groggy woman, who I assumed to be Leah's mother opened the door, she had a black eye and bruising on her arms and neck. "Yeah?" Said the woman. I said. "Hello, we are friends of your daughter Leah and have come to pick up some of her stuff." "Wha, no." The woman than attempted to close the front door on us but couldn't as I'd placed my boot strategically preventing the door from closing and we let ourselves into the house. The woman then noticed Silvia and she started to quickly back away from her. "Just, just take what you want and leave us in peace please!" Aliza immediately headed upstairs and I guided the woman into her own living room where to my surprise and absolute horror I found an obviously pregnant young woman lying on the settee she was also sporting several bruises on her arms and body, I couldn't tell on her face as her makeup was so heavily applied that it would have hidden any bruising, she also appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. I just stared at the girl, Silvanus however put a voice to my thoughts as she verbally accosted Leah's mum. "What is the matter with you people? Your daughter has an innocent life within her and you are letting her poison it, why would you do that to an unborn child what kind of monsters are you people?" "I, I." was all the woman could say as she was quite obviously terrified of Silvia. "Is this young woman Leah's sister Hailey?" I asked "Yes." Replied Leah's mum I took out a phone from my satchel and dialled and when the phone was answered, I said, "Okay Leah I'm going to pass you over to your mum now, just remember about what I said earlier." I then passed the phone over to Leah's mum, warning as I did, "Leah is safe, but she will not tell you where she is so don't ask," Even though I was expecting it, it still surprised me when Leah's mum's first question was, "Leah where are you? and when are you coming home?" and not "Leah oh thank god that you are all right." that any normal mum would have asked. I listened to Leah's mum's interrogation of Leah for several seconds and to an increasingly upset Leah before I finally took the phone from her mum and told Leah that she had been very brave, I then diverted my attention to something I had noticed before. "Could you tell me where you acquired those bruises please?" I asked whilst pointing at Leah's mum's arms. "Where do you think? Rufus's lot did this to us because you lot took Leah away from her family." replied Leah's mum whilst pointing at Silvia. "You drugged her you evil harpie, you drugged your own daughter, she could have died; you are not a fit parent." "Well the Lorche family won't give up until they get her, they even have their own pet policeman on the case now." Leah's mum said defiantly. Silvia disliked this woman immensely and she continued to berate her, but I was looking at her eyes the whites of her eyes were badly discoloured I was increasingly of the opinion that Leah's mum was not a well woman, what I had initially took to be a bad fake tan was obviously a form of jaundice and this left me with a dilemma, I could leave Leah's mum and her sister Hailey here to the mercy of the Lorche family and their own self destructive lifestyle or I could attempt to help them. "Silvanus, we need to talk," I turned to Leah's mum "You stay put and don't do anything stupid." I ordered, we both left the living room and closed the door. "At least they managed to fix the handle." Silvia commented to herself as we stood outside the room she then looked at me. "You want to help them, don't you?" Asked Silvia, I nodded. "And you are afraid of my reaction?" "Yes Silvia I am." Silvia looked me in the eyes. "There is an innocent life that has not yet taken a single breath within the girl, and yet it has probably already been affected by its mothers' lifestyle, it deserves a chance Joy. It deserves the chance to live, so I agree we should help but only for the sake of the innocent." I took out my phone once more and contacted Major Simmons. "Are you still in the area Sir? ...Yes... great I'd like you to look at a couple of potential patients for me. I'll send you the postcode, thank you Sir." I disconnected the call and turned to Silvia. "He's on his way Silvia, he'll be about twenty minutes" she smiled at me and asked. "Tea?" I nodded, Silvia went into the kitchen to make tea and I returned to the living room, Leah's mum was smoking a cigarette. "Put that out now." I ordered. "Look this is my house and I will smoke if I want..." "Put it out." I repeated, she stubbed out the cigarette and stared at me defiantly. Aliza entered the room and informed me. "All packed and stowed away we can leave when you are ready." "Harry is on his way we'll be a few minutes yet." "No problem." She went over to the window and opened it. "A little fresh air I think." Silvia appeared after a minute or two with mugs of tea for Aliza and I and after a minute or two I heard a mobile phone ping. I went over to the source of the noise and took a phone out from behind Leah's mum and on checking her texts found that one had recently been sent. 'Silvanus woman at our house now' and the reply, 'Keep her there, on our way' I passed the phone to Silvia who then passed it to Aliza, Aliza immediately left the living room returning quickly with her shoulder bag and my satchel whilst Leah's mum looked at us with a smug unrepentant expression. "You are a quite remarkably stupid woman, people will very probably now get injured because of you." Stated Silvia as she looked out from behind the living room curtains whilst I sent Major Simmons a text telling him to hold off visiting for a short while. It took less than five minutes before two very conspicuous cars pulled up outside the house and six young men dressed in hoodies exited the cars, two of the young men went around the side of the house and were obviously going around the back of the house whilst the other four went to the front door and pressed the doorbell. "I'll take the back door." Stated Silvia. "Non-lethal injuries only Silvia." I reminded her. "I know." she replied as she exited the room "One of those young men is carrying a container I believe that it may contain bleach or acid, nasty, we need to be careful." I went the front door and slowly but silently unlocked it and then swiftly opened the door and before the young man carrying the container could react I knocked the container of fluid up and into the young man's own shocked face he immediately screamed in horror and pain and started to clutch at his face to remove what was obviously by its smell a thick and clingy bleach. I pushed him to the side and then kicked the second man into the third and fourth with my boot causing them to stumble back away from the front door, this allowed Aliza to exit in time for the three men to attempt to attack us Aliza and I fought the three men to the soundtrack of the first man's screaming as he clawed at the strong Alkaline solution that was burning at his cheeks. The first man received a broken nose from me and a broken arm; the second received a shattered kneecap from me, a dislocated shoulder and several broken fingers from Aliza and the third young man lay on the ground screaming from what I suspected was a ruptured testicle. ?Deal with those three please Aliza.? I said as I grabbed the screaming man and dragged him into the house by his hair. On entering I pulled the young man through to the kitchen stepping over two more groaning young men that had been subdued and restrained with cable ties, I swiped away several days? worth of dirty dishes off the drainer and cleared the sink and then turned on the cold tap on the sink and stuck the screaming young man?s head under the flow I then took a pair of marigolds from the sink and after putting them on I proceeded to gently wipe away the remnants of bleach on his face with a soaked cloth. Once the sticky bleach had been removed I said. ?Keep your eyes closed and your head under the running water until help arrives.? As I was removing my protective gloves the young man unwisely made a grab for me but before his hand even moved a foot Silvia had grabbed it and broken his wrist against the sink. When Major Simmons arrived, he was accompanied by a nurse and two of ?The Centre?s more able-bodied patients who immediately stood guard over our unexpected prisoners, it only took the Major seconds to diagnose that Leah?s mum was indeed seriously unwell and agreed to take her and Leah?s sister away to a place of safety. Both Leah?s mum and her sister were whisked away within minutes of him arriving and as we started to leave I told the young men sitting on the floor who were now cable tied together. ?When you see Rufus next, tell him that he needs to forget that Leah Connelly ever existed as we don?t want to have to pay him a personal visit.? They just nodded at me and said nothing, Aliza secured the young man with the Alkali burns to the taps of the sink that were irrigating his skin and as we left she called both the police and an ambulance. Chapter 35 An Afternoon with My Little Sister Trish. As I drove back to Stevenson Towers I thought about the Twins, initially I thought their punishment to be severe as, without Peggy to chaperone them and Terry providing security, I was sure that they wouldn?t have survived the day without being robbed or ripped off simply because they are both innocents in a world that does not tolerate the innocent. But after reflecting upon Joy?s punishment I could see why she?d done it and I now hoped that the twins were getting an idea of how hard the less privileged in society had to work just to make ends meet. I?d left Bob at the old greasy spoon caf? about half an hour ago and was now making my way through the narrow winding lanes the last couple of miles before I turned off into the Stevenson estate. I was unusually apprehensive about spending time with my little sister Leah as it seemed almost a lifetime ago since I?d left her and Hailey my big sister to go and live up in Scotland with my dad and obviously I had changed a lot since that time. I indicated and turned into the estate and headed straight up towards the main building noticing as I did that some of the evergreen bushes that lined the long entrance drive now had a light dusting of snow on their tops, I looked at the little temperature gauge on the dash and it read 2 degrees Celsius, winter had now set in. I parked the car in the large car park to the left of the main building and started to walk around to the main entrance but just as I reached the entrance to the car park and came into the wind I felt specks of cold wet snow hitting me in the face. I broke into a semi jog and was instantly and pleasurably reminded that I could no longer be considered a male as my bra struggled to keep my breasts under control, I quickly reached the entrance to Stevenson towers and then let myself in. As I took my warm coat off I heard the lovely happy sound of Terri in the library she was laughing and giggling so I headed over to see what she found so amusing. I looked through the door to see Chris, Alice and Leah sitting on the carpeted floor with Terri, they appeared to be playing snap with her and she was enjoying it immensely. Alice noticed me first. ?Ah Trish, Dawn has kept you some lunch back if you are hungry.? I smiled and said. ?Thank you, I?ll go and see her now.? Almost as soon as I entered the dining room Dawn entered and set me a place to eat and asked if I would like fish cakes with chips, or some of Terri?s fish fingers, I opted for fish fingers with peas and bread and whilst I waited for Dawn to return Leah entered the dining room alone and sat opposite me, she smiled and said. ?Your wife is really lovely Trish, she's spent all morning with me and even took me for a walk around the grounds.? ?I?m sorry I couldn?t have been with you Leah, but you can have me all afternoon.? Leah?s face dropped a little. ?Ah, it?ll have to be a little later Trish as I have an English tutor coming to go through my course with me soon.? ?May I just sit in with you then? I won?t be a bother I promise.? Leah smiled and nodded, and I smiled back at her and as Dawn came through with my lunch Leah asked. ?I noticed that you have a lovely smile again, I was wondering if they were well, you know um, false teeth.? I then remembered that when I had been sent away to live with my father I hadn?t yet been fitted with dentures.? ?Oh these, these are implants. They are just like real teeth, I don?t need to wear dentures anymore.? I then tapped at my front teeth with my nail, Leah watched as I made a fish finger sandwich and smiled. ?You are very pretty Trish.? She commented. ?And so are you little sister, I can?t believe how good you now look.? ?I?ve lost a lot of weight thanks to Silvia?s support, but I?m still just a plain fat lass Trish and probably always will be.? I couldn?t believe what I was hearing Leah was not plain she was really pretty, she had lovely clear skin and yes, she still had a few pounds to lose but that would happen quickly, I then realised that because of her years being overweight she probably still had quite low self-esteem and hadn?t yet realised how naturally pretty she actually was, I placed my sandwich down and got up from my chair then went around the table to my little sister and hugged her tightly. ?Leah you must believe me when I say that you are not plain, you are a beautiful young woman who is just starting to realise her own potential and I think that we are going to have a lot of fun releasing that potential together.? I couldn?t help but smile inwardly at the irony that Chris and I would probably be helping to make my sister more ladylike over the coming days, weeks or however long I would be given the opportunity to get to know her again. Leah wrapped her arms around me and hugged back tightly but didn?t say anything she just held me. Leah?s hug was interrupted by Sally the head housekeeper ?Excuse me Miss but the tutor has arrived for Miss Connelly.? Leah was still holding me tightly with her head resting on my shoulder. ?Thank you Sally. Leah shouldn?t be too long.? I replied as I held my sister, Sally smiled at me, nodded and left the dining room. Eventually Leah let go and said, ?I always loved hugging you and it seems I still do.? I could clearly see the tear runs on her face but at least she was smiling. Leah left me to my lunch and afterwards I went through to the library and watched her working with her tutor for a while before I decided to go up to our room and soak away the coldness of the day with a nice warm bath. Chapter 36 Another Life. As I soaked in the large warm bubble filled bath I started to think back to my childhood with my parents and my two sisters and especially the times we were all together like when we went away on trips or family holidays, I almost always ended up looking after Leah as my dad liked to frequent the local golf clubs or bars whilst my mum and other sister worked on their tans together, so Leah and I became really close, I helped her to build sandcastles and took her swimming or if the weather was poor we would spend afternoons together in the arcades. Of course at the time I had not even the slightest idea of how my life a few years later would turn out, I also knew that the boy I once was could never return and quite frankly I did not want him to return as he had somewhat of a self-destructive streak. As I was finishing my bath I heard a tapping on the door outside our room. ?Hello?? I said loud enough to be heard. ?It's Leah may I come in?? ?I'm just finishing off my bath, come into the bedroom I'll be through in a moment.? I heard the door open and Leah say. ?Ooh this is as nice as my room.? I rinsed myself off and patted myself dry with one of the large bath towels before bending over and capturing my long, wet hair in another towel and twisting it into a turban, I then took my silken robe and slipped into it tying it at the waist. Leah... I've just entered the room that my Sister Trish and her wife Chris are sharing, having just spent half the afternoon with a lovely man called Mr Tanfield, going through what I?d been learning at night classes. Trish is in the bathroom at the moment finishing off her bath and I?m sitting on her bed. I notice the door to the bathroom opening and Trish enters, she has a towel wrapping her hair in a turban and is wearing a beautiful silken gown that shows off her figure, I blush a little as I stare at her chest as Trish's nipples are clearly visible through the delicate fabric. She smiles at me and walks over to a set of drawers in the next room and opens them. ?Sorry Leah, I forgot to get my underwear ready before my bath just bear with me for a moment.? She then removed two of the most delicate pieces of underwear I've ever seen and carried them back towards the bathroom she seemed a little ill at ease with me looking at her body. ?I'll save your blushes Leah and dress in the bathroom.? ?No I'm sorry I shouldn't have stared, it?s just that I can't believe how feminine you look now.? Trish stopped, turned and said, ?Well if you are sure it's okay I'll dress in here.? I just nodded, she then turned her back to me and stepped into her lovely panties and eased them up her legs and up through her gown, she then undid the belt of her gown and let it fall to the floor before slipping her arms through the straps of her bra and expertly fastening it, I only caught the slightest glimpse of the side of her breast though as she still had her back to me. Trish then turned around and with her arms covering the cups of her bra she stated, ?Not much of the old Joseph left is there?? Trish looked to be close to tears at this point, I just stared at her body from her polished toenails to her beautiful long shaved legs to her gently curving hips and slender waist she looked every inch a beautiful woman to me. ?Can I see the rest of you please?? I asked and Trish dropped her arms reluctantly to her side revealing her breasts within the silky confines of her bra. ?Trish you, you're beautiful, you really are a girl, I just didn?t realise.? I half gasped. I pointed at her breasts. ?Are those real? I mean are they implants like a boob job or did you grow them with those hormones you were on.? ?They are real Leah I grew them, they hover around a ?C? cup but that depends on the time of month and.? I didn?t let Trish get out another word as I was now staring at her very feminine looking crotch and could see nothing of what should have been there in fact what I did see unnerved me I could see the distinct outline of a labia in the thin fabric of Trish?s panties, she noticed me looking, her face reddened and she quickly put her robe back on. Was Trish really a girl now? I'd seen a documentary once on the telly about men who had sex changes and had their thingies cut off but Trish looked so natural and so feminine, even without makeup she was every inch a beautiful woman, she was my beautiful new sister and as I looked at her I realised that I'd upset her, as she was standing before me with a bright red face her lower lip was quivering, she was holding her robe tightly closed and she looked like she could burst into tears at any second. ?I'm sorry Leah,? She said as she turned to leave the room. Oh god Trish thinks I'm rejecting her I realised with some distress, she didn't realise that I was just a little surprised. ?No stop, don't you dare leave the room.? I said as assertively as I could as I approached her, Trish stopped dead but faced away from me, I touched her shoulder and tried to get her to turn but she resisted, so I moved around to face her but she turned her face away from me, I then observed a tear and then another gathering on her chin and then dropping onto the thin fabric of her gown. The sight of Trish being so distressed nearly broke my heart we'd only been reacquainted for a couple of days and I was really starting to like my new sister; but seeing her like this was almost too much to bear, I reached gently over and took her chin in my fingers and guided her face to look at me and whilst still holding her gown shut she looked into my eyes that themselves were now brimming with tears. ?I'm sorry Trish but I didn't realise that you were such a complete girl now, a complete and beautiful new sister whose body I am completely in awe of.? I pulled Trish towards me and whispered into her ear as I hugged her. ?Finally I can have a sister I can look up to.? ?Really?? she squeaked ?Yes really.? Trish then finally let go of her gown and embraced me. My sister and I stood for what must have been minutes, Trish crying constantly and apologising for not being there for me the last few years and me crying back and apologising for not contacting her sooner. Eventually however we broke our lengthy hug and Trish passed me several tissues from a box on her bedside table and we mopped up our tears. Trish pulled up a seat and sat opposite me as I sat on the bed, her gown was now partially open exposing a little of her underwear clad body. ?So when did you have your operation then?? I asked with interest. ?Oh, it was after I attempted to visit with mum and after I'd met Chris.? ?Did it hurt?? Trish winced ?What do you think?? I giggled a little. ?Oh, yes I suppose it must have. So do you miss Mr Winky and his two friends then?? ?No not really, he's not really gone though, just inverted and modified my testicles needed to be removed though.? ?Do you pee like me now?? ?Yes Leah just like you, the only real difference between us is that I don't have periods.? I grinned at her. ?You lucky cow, you get all of the advantages without any of the disadvantages of being a girl.? Trish however didn't really see the funny side of my comment. ?It also means that without a surrogate I can never have children of my own Leah.? ?Oh but surely Chris could carry a child for you?? I suggested Trish leant over and hugged me and in the process her gown fell open once more revealing her near perfect body once more. ?Leah there is so much about Chris and me that you don?t know yet.? From Trish's expression I realised Immediately that this was a conversation for another time, I knew from this morning?s walk that Chris was quite frail and tired easily, but I didn?t yet know why. ?Trish may I ask you a delicate question please?? ?Of course.? ?I noticed from your panties that you must shave your pubes.? ?Err yes? ?Well someone shaved mine the other night I think it was mum.? ?And?? ?Well she shaved me completely bald.? Trish broke off our hug and was now smiling at me. ?And?? ?The hairs are starting to grow back now and they itch and prickle like hell.? Trish burst out laughing I also broke into a smile, ?It?s not funny Trish.? ?Well Leah I?m afraid that you have a choice to make, either shave the stubble off and go smooth once more or put up with the prickliness for a few days until your hair grows a bit and settles down again, personally I now prefer to be hairless.? ?Is it just like shaving your legs then?? ?Yes sort of but I find that it helps to hold the flesh taught when I shave, oh and be really careful not to nick the folds as it really stings.? Trish was talking to me like a best friend and sharing her knowledge with me, I even followed her through into her dressing room a few minutes later and watched as she dressed. ?Have you ever worn stockings Leah?? she asked whilst removing a pair of stockings from the second drawer down on the chest of drawers after removing the matching suspender belt for her underwear from the top drawer, I shook my head as I watched her manipulate one of the stockings into a doughnut shape and start to roll it up her leg. ?They look really fine Trish I?d ladder them in no time at all.? ?Oh they are so worth the extra effort, really they are, and I have no doubt that Alice and Joy will have placed stockings somewhere within your wardrobe.? I continued to watch as Trish slipped the other stocking up her other leg and attached the suspender belt around her waist, she then slipped the dangling straps through the waistband of her panties before attaching the stockings to the little fixing poppers on the straps whilst all the time thinking that this absolutely gorgeous woman was once my big brother Joseph. Trish and I chatted and caught up as she dressed and then put on her makeup, she hardly seemed to use any and yet managed to make herself look quite sophisticated, she turned to me as she finished her lips and said, ?With your complexion Leah you should probably consider using less foundation and concentrate more on your eyes, you have great skin, so you should show it off, save the slap for parties and nights out.? I started to giggle I just couldn?t help it, Trish looked puzzled. ?I?m getting makeup and dressing advice from my big brother who is now my beautiful big sister and the irony is that she is right!? I slipped off the seat I?d been watching Trish from and gave my new sister another big hug. Chapter 37 Detective Martins. The next day back in Harrogate... Detective Constable Stan Martins was frustrated, he'd just tried to run the number plate of an old Saab 99 on his terminal and was confused to find his request for details on the owner declined, this had never happened to him before and he was confused by it, so he contacted a friend of his that now worked in London with the Metropolitan Police for advice. ?Digsy? It's Stan Martins, I'm after a bit of advice.? ?Business like as usual, what do you want Stan?? asked the voice on the other end of the line. ?I've been trying to run a plate on a car that was involved in an incident, but the computer just keeps saying request denied.? ?What's the reg? I?ll give it a shot here?? sighed Digsy, Detective Martins repeated the registration number that he had recently gotten from both CCTV footage and a number plate found at the scene then waited for several seconds, Detective Martins could hear the clicking sounds of a keyboard in the background, Digsy's reply however was both swift and unexpected. ?Oh Shi... I have no idea what you have gotten yourself involved in mate but forget about that car and if you are prepared to take some friendly advice from an old colleague, file whatever it is you are working on under B1N and pretend it never happened.? The detective laughed at his friends warning thinking that he was just kidding around, ?I'm not kidding mate, that reg has come back marked as classified,? Detective Martins then heard a telephone going off in the background followed by his friend saying, ?Aw bugger gotta go, I have an incoming call.? With that Digsy terminated the call. The detective then left his desk and wandered upstairs to the vending machines on the top floor where the staff canteen had once been and got himself a processed ham and cheese sandwich and a cup of tea, he then went over to one of the windows overlooking the car park and sat by it. He peeled the plastic film away from the packaging and took out one of the two limp unappealing sandwiches then took a bite from it. How had he been so stupid to get involved with the Lorche family? Thought Detective Martins as he looked out of the window over the car park at the now leaden sky. The answer to his question was obvious, he hadn?t but his wife had, she?d taken out a quick loan with one of Randolph Lorche?s many representatives that toured estates offering easy loans and within weeks she found that she owed many times the original cost of the loan back. His wife eventually told him of course and he confronted Randolph in his offices at the back one of his growing number of car dealerships. Randolph instead of backing down upon being approached by the young policeman instead made him a proposition. That was three years ago and there was not a minute that went by that Stan Martins didn?t regret agreeing to do ?just one little favour? for Randolph as he actually wanted to be a good policeman but for the safety of his wife and young daughter couldn?t. Detective Martins removed the second dreary sandwich from its plastic prison and started to chomp through it with little enthusiasm. After finishing his sandwich and demolishing a packet of crisps and then a chocolate bar with his tiny plastic cup of tea Detective Martins sat quietly just staring out of the window until he was brought back to reality by both his work and personal mobile going off simultaneously. ?Uhh.? he grunted as he unlocked his work mobile and read the text message. ?If you want to find the owner of the SAAB then be at these coordinates in one hour,? there then followed a set of GPS coordinates ?you are about to be offered a second chance Detective Constable so for the sake of your wife and child I urge you to take it.? The detective noted down the coordinates in his notebook and then checked the message on his other mobile, it was identical. Detective Martins left the canteen and headed quickly back down to his desk to get his car keys and as he picked them up he noticed something different about the screen of his computer. After logging on he noticed that all information on the SAAB, the fire at the florists and the young girl that he was searching for had been removed from both the main system and backup storage and as he was puzzling about who had erased his files the screen went blank apart that is from a small flashing green cursor on the top left hand of the screen. ?Oh shit it?s gone on the fritz, that?s all I need.? said the detective to himself just before a message appeared on the screen. ?You are wasting time detective.? the message stayed there for several seconds before vanishing and his computer started to reboot. Detective Martins picked up his overcoat and headed out towards the compound to pick up his car. Just over forty-five minutes later Detective Martins pulled off the road on the southern tip of the moors and headed down a bleak farm track towards, hopefully, an answer or two, in the distance he could see an old long abandoned farmhouse. Neither Detective Martins or his car were enjoying the potholed road and his suspension complained on nearly every single bump. Finally he reached the old road?s end and pulled up outside the old farmhouse, but it looked deserted. The detective left his car and made his way over to the old house. ?Hello?? he said outside the slightly open front door, cautiously he opened the door and entered but inside there was nothing but an old table and a fireplace. ?Hello, is there anyone here?? He shouted up the staircase but there was no answer, In the distance the detective heard a noise, an engine of some kind. It was powerful and getting louder by the second, it took a while but he eventually recognised the noise as that of a helicopter so he went over to the front door and as he exited he noticed for a second what looked like a military helicopter in the distance before being overcome by excruciating pain in his side, his vision went white and he felt himself falling to the ground as he could no longer control his body. ?Whuu, nghhh? Detective Martins woke with a start, he was sitting against a hard wall, the background noise was lo
