The Aftermath

18 - Missing Person

Joe
Cobly just called and he was in bits, I assume something has happened between him and Rebecca. I just hope it isn't that bad as she is carrying his baby after all. I'm waiting in the airport car park for him, I haven't told Ash because I don't want her stressing. Just everything with all the 5 kids has been really stressing her out and she got into a fight with Galina. It's a long story and I see Colby coming. I don't think I've ever seen this man this broken, he chucked his suitcase into the boot and got into the car snuggling Becky's jacket as he did so, my mind obviously went to the worst case scenario and I started panicking.

"What happened man?"

He tossed a bit of paper into my lap, I opened it up and my jaw dropped as I read the letter. I undid my seatbelt and pulled Colby in for a proper hug, this isn't like Becks so something must have happened. I'll get Colby to explain all when he's in a bit of a better state. I put my seat belt on and start up the engine, I don't know if I should put the radio on or not. His wife has just said that the baby isn't his and she basically never wants to see him again. I drive out of the car park and onto duel carriageway. Colby turns the music on after a while and then we are home.

Becky
I feel sick, not just because my baby is going crazy but because of everything else too. How is he alive? HOW? I pull myself off the floor and notice some bruises are starting to form. I slip on a T-shirt and some leggings, all I want is a shower but I'm locked in this room all alone. Will randy let me go to the hospital to check on this one? He has too because otherwise there won't be any baby to claim. I hear the door swing open and it's the jumper girl from earlier. She pulled her hood back and I feel even worse, I knew she wasn't helping us, I should've never made friends with an Orton, especially not...

"Lily Orton, remember me hun! Your Becky and I got you here."

I need to be sick but there's no bathroom, I stand up and try and leave but she pushed me back.

"Do you want me to get Randy?"

I shook my head and then I was sick and it was all over her.

"You stupid cow!"

She slapped me and started to push me back until I hit a wall, she was about to punch me when she got pulled off. I sank to the floor and pulled my jacket onto me, I never in a million years thought that I'd be stuck with Randy again. I heard a gentle voice so I opened my eyes, I didn't realise this woman but she looked kind.

"I had to pull her off you sweetie, I'm Dorothy but most call me Dotty. I'm pretty old but I'm a maid here."

"Where is here?"

"I don't really know, I've been here since Randy and Lily were little babies."

She put out her hand and I took it, we began to walk out of the room.

"Look I'll get one of my girls to clean up in there, may I ask why are you locked in that room honey?"

"Randy, he says that he's the father of my chi-"

I felt someone push me backwards, I looked up at saw Randy. I crawled backwards but he grabbed me.

"RANDY STOP IT!"

I sat there silently crying, he pushed me onto the floor. The cleaning lady doesn't even know I am pregnant, I slide up my T-shirt slightly and remind Randy that it's there. He pulled off almost immediately and walked away. The old lady pulled me off the floor.

"Honey I wish there was a way to help."

"You can't, I've lost everything. My husband, my godchildren everything is just gone!"
