Chapter 6

Lisa was talking to the Paramedic, trying to explain and understand what the hell Just happened.
Amy was wired up to the usual monitors when they went crazy. The Paramedic had Amy set up with the CPR machine very quickly and shocked her, her heartbeat was back to normal.
Lisa was a mess realising that had Amy not phoned for help this would of happened in her bedroom and she would of died. Jack would of never forgiven himself and he'd of been charged with Murder.
"What the hell Just happened".
"Well I'd say it has something to do with the blow to her head, electrical signals! or her strangulation".
They arrived at hospital and Amy was passed to the Trauma Team who rushed her to the scanner unit.

"Lisa Bartlett, I'm Doctor Martin, I think we met when Amy was here after the crash".
"Yes that's right, are you looking after Amy again Dr Martin".
"Yes I am, I'm surprised her Grandfather did this, what the hell did he hit her with".
"I honestly don't know, but a Paramedic said it looked like he slapped her as he could see his finger marks on her face and she hit her head on the corner of her dressing table, but he said there was strangulation marks on her neck, but he wasn't in the room long enough, it was a slap then he walked out".
"Well he must of forgotten his strength because he made her young brain hit both sides of her skull like a pendulum, then the whack to the back of her head. Her brains bruised on both sides and she's in OR now as she has a serious Bleed and how this will affect her mentally or physically is unknown for now, I'll see you as soon as the Neurologist has finished and she's in recovery".
"Thank you Doctor Martin".

Lisa waited in the Cafeteria then phoned Lou.
" Hello Lisa, how are you and how's Amy getting on".
Lisa swore to herself she would hold it together but as soon as Lou asked how her sister was she broke down.
Lou could hear Lisa crying, " Lisa, what's happened to Amy".
Lisa managed to get herself together and told Lou what happened.
"I'm so shocked Lou, I never thought he could do something like this, Amy's fighting for her life again".
"Where is he Lisa".
"Still at the Police Station, the doctor said that if Amy hadn't phoned for help she would of died in her bedroom, they had to resuscitate her in the Ambulance Lou, it was horrible".
"I'll be there tomorrow Lisa, and Just know that I've seen him like this before, Mum told me what he was like when she was a teenager but Lyndy kept him in order , he was frightened of her believe it or not, see you tomorrow, bye".
"Bye Lou".

RCMP
Interview room.

The two Officers sat down on the otherside of the Table facing Jack.
"So what happened in her room Jack, what did you do to her".
"Look, all I did was slap her".
"How hard Jack and did she hit her head or hit the dressing table".
"Err, she may of fell against her dressing table, but I only slapped her the once".
"How hard Jack, you should know that we've been in touch with the hospital and your Granddaughter may not survive, she died in the Ambulance but the Paramedic was able to bring her back".
"What, No, No, I didn't hit her that hard".
They could see the tears rolling down Jacks face.
One of the Officer's turned over the photos that had been taken of Amy's face and pushed them in front of Jack.
"This is what you did Jack, this is worse than her Father did to her, look Jack, Strangulation marks on her neck what is it with you and Tim, you'll be Joining him you know, how long for depends on the Judge".
"I don't remember, I couldn't of done this, I love her so much".

"Hello Val, what can I do for you".
"Oh hi Lisa, I was trying to get hold of Amy and warn her".
"Val, Amy's fighting for her life on the operating table".
"Oh my god I'm too late, he already got to her".
"Whoah what you on about Val".
"Jesse's gone nuts, he got up the other morning going on about Amy cheating on him with some bloke after someone sent a photo to him of Amy and some bloke at Maggie's, I told him that it doesn't mean anything and that he'd Finished with her anyway. He Just shouted that he'd changed his mind".
"Val, when would he have got here".
"Erm yesterday morning ".
"Okay thank you Val".
Lisa phoned the RCMP straight away.
Then told the receptionist that she had to rush home but she'd be back later.
