Coronation Street: An Open Grave

The Lies Continue

Sarah couldn't do this. She couldn't give birth in a florest the natural way. It was too Dangerous. But there she was, with a towel over her lap, knees bent, legs spread, holding Todds hand for support while Mad Mary delivered the child she really didn't want.

Pushing with all her might as Tracy stood well back still on the phone to the opporator. "I need my mum" Sarah cried as Todd turned to look at Tracy who just rolled her eyes and held the phone out to him.

"I'm going to speak to the opporator okay. Tracy will go and get your mum" Todd told her as Sarah gave another push before letting out a shaky sob. "Okay. She should be in the bistro."

"Yeah well i didn't think she would be at number 8. Considering it's under investigation" muttered Tracy

"State your name, maiden name and address please" spoke the police officer as Kylie looked at him. Both currently sat in a small room for her statement.

"Kylie platt nee Turner, 8 Coronation street"

"Interview starts at 10:15" spoke the officer "now, are you sure you don't want a solicitor"

"I'm sure" Kylie sighed looking at her fingers as she played with her wedding ring that had D engraved on the side for 'David'.

"Just start from the begining."

"The body is Callum Logans. My ex, birth father of my child. He's nasty and a drug dealer with a criminal conviction. Look at his record" Kylie sighed. "He was hell for my family, almost got my son killed, got some thugs to rough up my gran in law, blackmailed my neice, tormented my husband for months and drugged my sister in law" Kylie took a deep breath as the officer wrote her statement down word for word.

"He was a peice of work and what i did, i didn't mean." Kylie gulped "He was blackmailing our family for twentie grand. If he got the money, he would skip town and leave us alone for good. We didn't have the money. When he was arrested, we thought we saw the back of him but he was released and came back for the money. We couldn't scrape up all the money, so David went after him on the 21st September 2015"

"What did he do?"

"Nothing. I managed to get him to come home, well to the rovers but while i waited on him. I texted Callum and told him to meet me at number 8. Said i had the money. I was going to record everything he said, so i had the blackmail on tape" Kylie lied "David came into the rovers but i soon left, leaving him with Bethany, our neice. I went home and waited on Callum arriving" she knew what she was doing. It wasn't worth bringing Sarah into it and if she wanted her children to grow up with at least one parent. Then keeping David out of it as well was a must.

"Come on David" spoke another police officer in another room taking a statememt from David or at least attempting. "You have to tell us what happened"

"That's exactly what i don't have to do" David said looking around the room. "I know my rights and see this wedding ring" David held up his hand. "This is all the rights i need. Spousal Privilege. You can't force me to speak or testify against my wife" David leaned back against the seat with a smug smile as the police officer stared at him.

"Alright, lets talk about you then and the body we found. What do you know about that"

"Nothing" David replied.

"Oh my god, Sarah" Gail rushed into Tracys flower shop with Tracy following behind.

"The traffic is bad on the ring road. So we think the ambulance is stuck in traffic" Said Todd.

"Sarah. I just need one more big push" Mary instructed as Sarah gripped onto Gails hand tightly.

"Oh love" Gail said soothingly. "You're doing brilliantly"
