"The stains on the carpet are obviously evidence. We took it as the rug was there to hide them, because of the blackmailing?"

"Of course." Mandy exhaled.

"Who knew something so simple could hide something to irregular?" Pc Smith is a creepy woman, known to the people around here, for being one of the most hardworking yet dopey police officers. The way she digs to find answers is actually terrifying me even though I've got nothing to hide. It's like she's looking to blame it on someone innocent.

We all exchanged glances while she carried on bringing the news to us, "That's not all though. The shed round the back, ever go in it?"

Kendall was sat silently, only speaking when she felt the need to and Mandy was answering all the questions. Mum and dad were sat just listening to every word being said. Logan however, was sat silently, day dreaming with his chin resting in his hand.

Allthough this is not the time to be ogling over my boyfriend, I must say the clenched Jaw and vein in his neck is really attractive.

"No, none of us go in the back garden often. It's a state and I'm not one for gardening." Mandy was clearly confused. 

I've always wondered why Logan has such a beautiful house, just like our old one, but the back garden has never been something to be pleased about. I just took it as Mandy wasn't that bothered about the outside world and that's what it's turned out to be.

"We found things in there. Things have been used for things they shouldn't have been used for." Pc Smith did her weird voice again.

Seriously, how did this woman get a job?

"W-what? W-who?" Mandy stuttered.

"What a dickhead." Logan muttered, not moving an inch.

Mandy became more confused, "What? Logan do you know who it is?"

"Mother it's obvious who it is. It's him." He stay still and I was left wondering how the fuck he can do that.

I actually think it's wrong for me to be sat here in this serious conversation because so far all I've done is stare at how beautiful my boyfriend is and how on fleek Kendall's eyebrows are.

"Smart boy." Pc Smith smirked, "We have an idea of why he's hid his weapons there."

Is she trying to flirt with my boyfriend?

"But how do you know it is Tony?" Mandy questioned. I feel sorry for the woman, there's so many thoughts flying through her mind at one hundred miles per hour and she just cant seem to process them.

"Fingerprints Miss Whilston. Now, as I was saying, he blackmailed you. If he had a family under his control and he was sure they weren't going to tell the police, why would he store his murder weapons anywhere else?"

"Stupid, stupid cunt." Logan muttered once again under his breath. I think I was the only one that heard him because everyone else resumed to having conversations about the future.

"Can you give us any numbers? To help us get in contact with people to help them move house?" Mum spoke up for the first time.

"Of course. It's probably best you do move. Fresh start after the court day. Which is the sixth of September by the way. We'll send you the details in a letter. We have all he evidence we need to send Tony down as guilty." Pc Smith scribbled down some numbers on a piece of paper from her clipboard.

"That's great!" Mandy let a brief bit of happiness out but I could still tell she needs more answers.

"Thankyou for your time." She nodded, gathered her things and stood up ready to leave.

Alfie lead her out through the front door after we all said thanks to her. Everyone stayed silent so I took that as much chance to jump up switch the kettle on and get Logan a drink of water.

"Zoe we can't move afford to move. With Elsie's surgery we can't afford to do both." Mandy was stressing out down in the conservatory.

"Stop stressing out. We'll pay." Mum calmed her down.

Elsie had been in hospital since we were on holiday. It's been three weeks since we got back. She's in a serious condition and it's been the icing on cake with the whole Tony situation. Elsie has a brain tumour. It's not looking good unless she has the surgery to sort it out. We need so much money to have it done in America and Mandy's been worrying about not having the money. Mum and dad being the absolute superstars that they are, have offered to pay for everything but Mandy won't have it.

I know my mum and I know she's a feisty woman that does not give up.

I handed the water to Logan and sat down next to him again. "How can someone be so cruel."

"It's him T." Logan took the drink from me.

"How about, we pay for Elsie's treatment and half of the house every month." I heard mum try to reason with Mandy.

"It's so much money, I can't let you do that." She fought.

"Mum you're being stupid now. Zoe and Alfie are offering to save your child and you're turning it down." Kendall interrupted Mandy, getting up with a huff and walking to the kitchen.

"It's not that! I'd do anything to save Els-"

"Do it then." Logan interrupted this time, doing the same as Kendall but this time walking to my room probably.

"It's not that I don't want to save Elsie, it's because it's so much money and you've done so much for-"

"Mandy, end of story. Let Zoe and Alfie pay. I know, they're life savers. They did it for me. Trust me, it works out in the long run." I got up and followed Logan to my room.

When I entered my room, he was laid on my bed looking up to the ceiling. He didn't shift when I laid down next to him and put his arm around me.

"Gorgeous?" I said lightly.

"Yes beautiful?" He said back.

"You're amazing."

I saw a light smile light his face but he covered it.

"You're allowed to smile. It's okay to admit I make you feel amazing." I played, stroking his cheek at the same time.

He shifted a bit, to look down at me, "Princess I'm not allowed to smile. My step dads killed innocent people and hid his evidence in my fucking back garden. My baby sisters in hospital dying and my mother won't let anyone help."

I didn't say anything for a while. He was looking down into my eyes while I was looking back up to his. A tear rolled down his cheek but I wiped it away.

"I've just told your mum. I know for a fact with what I just said she'll know what she has to do. Stop worrying about it. Have hope Logan. Everything is going to be okay. The courts going to go the way we want it to and so is Elsie's surgery."

"You're a bright star you know that?"

"You can be too if you have hope and expect the best. I learnt to do that ages ago. Look on the bright side of life."
