Rob Donovan: A killer walking the cobbles

Chapter 3- The day after yesterday

Okay this chapter is really really bad I know! I wasn't sure really what to write for this chapter. Sorry guys :/.

It's the morning after Tina's funeral. Peter's still at the police station,

Carla is still coming to terms with everything,

The street is gossiping as always,

& I'm living another day of guilt.

Babe where are you going? Why can't Tracy give me a minutes peace!

To check on Carla.

You always check on her. You spend more time with her than me! Are you alright?

Tracy, Carla is going through hell, just let me be there for her.

I know Tracy cares about me but she doesn't give a stuff that Tina died! Whatever about everything that they had against each other! Tina is still dead!

I'm buzzing on Carla's door but she isn't answering.

Hiya Rob!

Hey Michelle you wouldn't have a spare key would you?

Yes I do, is Carla not answering?

No

Shes not here! Where is she?! Some brother I am!!

Rob calm down she's probably nipped to the shop or having a lye in! You will wake her!

She's not in bed!

Let's check the factory

Oh God Rob look! The factory door is half open!

The lights are on

Carla's bag & coat are here

But where is Carla?

Oh god Rob. She's not gone and..

Michelle please don't say that. She might of gone drinking.

I'm calling the police. She might of been out all night & lying in a gutter for all we know!

MICHELLE ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? IF WE CALL THE POLICE ITS GOING TO LOOK VERY SUSPICIOUS FOR HER TO GO MISSING AFTER BEING CHARGED WITH MURDER! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!

Well what are we going to do??? The factory workers want to have a meeting at 4.00 pm for an apology from Carla! What will we tell them!

Look Michelle, here's the plan. Your going to have to stay put & tell the factory workers or anyone else that asks that Carla has gone to London for the day with me! I'm going to go look for her!

But I feel I need to help! Rob she's my bestfriend she needs me now more than..

MICHELLE WE CANT RISK CARLA GOING TO JAIL! YOU HAVE TO STAY PUT!

Ok Rob but ring me if you hear anything!

I will Michelle.

Oh God what have I done! Carla couldn't of runaway! All her stuff is at the flat! Her mobile & handbag are in the factory & her coat! She has no money or anything! Oh god I hope she's not gone & done anything stupid! Everyone thought it was her that killed Tina! Only me & her new the truth! No she wouldn't do anything to herself! She's obviously runaway to .. Oh god where is she!! I'm going to search all the possible places she may have gone.

It's 3 hours past since we found Carla went missing & I have searched everywhere in Weatherfield! I don't no what I'm going to do! I'll have to call the police & confess!

The police station is packed. It will be hours before I'm seen to!

Hello can I help you?

Yes. I was wondering if I could know if I could...

Rob what are you doing here?

CARLA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! ME & MICHELLE WERE WORRIED SICK!

I was called in again. New information has been released. Peter couldn't of killed Tina!

What, what do you mean? He's the only one who could have!

Well remember Roy said he saw Peter & Tina fighting & then Peter entering the flat?

Yeah exactly!

Another person came forward who was looking for directions & had apparently asked Peter for directions but Peter rushed past her.

And?

As she turned to walk the opposite direction she noticed a young woman looking over the balcony of the builders yard.

That's not possible! Peter could of paid her to say that!

Maybe so but Rob I really don't think so. This person had no contact records with Peter at all!

So what's that mean?

Peter is free to go. I'm the main & only possible suspect.

No this can't be happening! I'm supposed to make sure Peter goes down for this & now he's not in connection with the murder!

Rob are you alright?

Maybe she killed herself.

Rob it's a murder investigation! She wasn't that unhappy!

But you didn't kill her!

I know.

Who did then?

Excuse me sir, we are very busy. Do you mind telling me your concern?

Oh I was just wondering was Peter still being held in.

C'mon lets get you home Carla!

I'm fucked. I can't let Carla take the blame! Fucked. Fucked. Fucked.

Its 4:00 am & I can't sleep, everything is going through my mind. It's like I'm falling & I can see my whole life in front of me. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. One action to one person has caused all this pain. I want to tell someone & cry on their shoulder & be told everything's going to be ok but I have nobody to turn to. News is going to get around that Peter isn't in connection with Tina's murder which means all fingers pointing in Carla's direction! Which means I'm going to have to stop Carla from going down. I'll have to kill her too & myself!
