The Missing

Episode two part two

"Back then I was young, I had been a midwife for only year and hadn't seen all of the wonders of childbirth. A patient Gillian although I shouldn't tell you that came in. She had weird scars all over her body. It was weird that she hadn't had any other scans but I still did a dull check. At thirty weeks she turned up unexpectedly and asked for a scan saying something was wrong. The urgency in voice sounded plastic, fake. The scan went normally and I then diagnosed twins.  but then I realised that something horrible had happened," Julia cried, wiping her eyes. She was aging and had small wrinkles under her eyes. Louise had never talked to Julia and realised that maybe she wanted a baby and the happy claptrap show may have been fake. "Her baby had horrifying internal affects her organs were twisted and weird and she didn't even have one kidney. I explained that one of her twins had a illness and would only live for a few years. I explained it was a chemical that she would have been subject too throughout her life and through no fault off her own it must have passed on to her baby's ...." Louise interrupted Julia" Julia you said must not has?" Julia looked puzzled." Yes well no acid is that harmful and can be passed on," just as Julia said that, the BBC news app on Louise's phone went off. She looked at it and then it hit her: the dead girl had acid in her bones too.
