"So you know the whole story?"

"Yes. Logan told me it on his birthday last year."

The police woman jotted down notes about everything I was saying.

"So, what did he tell you?"

"He told me that it was his birthday but he didn't celebrate it. He told me that Tony had said horrible things to him and Kendall and that Tony wanted every last bit of money. Then Tony hurt Dylan and Lewis tried to help so he shot him too. He also told me Logan started doing bad things and got into trouble with the police a lot."

"Yes, Logan has a bad record. But Tia, did you and Kendall do as I asked?" The woman nodded.

"Yeah." I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to the police woman.

"Thankyou. With this, we've got proof."

"Don't thank me, thank Kendall." I smiled.

"Speaking of Kendall, How has she taken this whole situation?" The woman put the phone in a plastic bag and sealed it up. She then put it at one end of the table and fixed her eyes back on me.

"Logan mentioned she had to have some kind of therapy and today she just kept crying."

"It's strange how all these events have happened after, but there's no medical records of how it happened to match what's been brought to us."

"Tony blackmailed them. I think if someone's threteaning to kill you or someone you love, you're going to lie about how someone got shot."

"Lewis was In hospital for a couple of months. We searched and searched for answers because Logan and his Family 'knew nothing'. Do you know what happened to Dylan's body?"

I took a deep breath, "Tony got some men to get it. They kept them hostage while they took it away."

"And why did Logan tell you this if he was being blackmailed and it's such a big drama to be in?"

"Because Logan trusts me. He knew I'd be able to help and calm him down whenever something like this popped up."

"Thankyou Tia. I'll listen to the recording now, but none of this is to go online. All of this is private and confidential information." The woman gave me a polite smile, as if she was happy with the answers she found.

"Oh it won't."

"Thankyou for your time Miss Deyes."

I got up from my seat and another officer lead me back through to the waiting area. Mandy was sat staring into space with a cup of tea in her hand. Kendall was sat with tear streaks all over her face and a look of distress plastered there too. Logan, my poor Logan, was sat with his head in his hands, taking a deep breath every few seconds.

When Mandy and Kendall noticed my presence, they gave me sad smiles. The officer wanted to talk to Mandy next so she went with them. I took the seat next to Logan and linked my arms through his. I kissed his cheek and then watch a tear roll down.

"Logan."

"Tia."

"Logan look at me." I pulled his hand away from his head.

His eyes were puffy and his whole face was red blotchy.

"Everything's going to be fine." I reassured, making sure my words were clear.

"What if they don't believe us? There's no proof." He sighed.

"Yes there is." I looked over to Kendall who was now sat with a smug smirk on her face. Logan followed my gaze and gave us both questioning looks.

"Thanks to your girlfriend, she recorded everything." Kendall smiled.

"Erm no, thanks to your sister, she got advice from the police to record everything." I corrected.

"You went to the police?" Logan questioned.

"I went to the police because I was sick of getting the threats. They told me to get a recording of the whole conversation when we meet him. So I asked Tia to do it and put it in her pocket. She's one for technology." Kendall explained.

I'd found my old phone and recorded it all on there. I couldn't find anything else to record on and I didn't want to have to give my current phone into the police for ages.

"Thanks babe." Logan smiled.

"Thank Ken." I said for the millionth time.

"Thanks Kendall, you're the best sister in the world."

After half an hour of sitting twirling our thumbs, the officers came back out of the room with Mandy. They explained that they'd have to go to the house because after questioning Tony, they believe there's more evidence in the house. They said it could take days so it's best to stay somewhere else.

I phoned Zoe to let her know what was going on. I've been gone for at least six hours.

"Zoe, it's urgent. I need to explain and you need to listen carefully." I said quickly when she answered. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Mandy panicking about it all.

"Yes, what's happened darling?" Zoe sounded concearned.

"So you know that Logan's step father was crazy and the whole story?" She hummed in response, "well we met him, got him arrested and then we all got questioned at the station. Now they need to go to Logan's house to investigate and they have no where to stay."

"I'll sort the bedrooms out." Was all Zoe said.

"Thankyou."

"Are you going to their house to let them get their things then?"

"Yeah, Thanks Mum. You're a life saver." I ended the phone call. "Mandy, stop worrying. You're all stopping at mine."

Mandy looked at me with hope and hugged me tight. "Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!"
