"Tim... you've been in here grilling him for over thirty minutes... the poor guy was near to tears and worrying about his wife in that room over there... surely..." I breathed in for a minute trying not to get angry with him. "Surely, it can wait until she is awake?" I yelled.
"I wanted to find out more about them as soon as possible, but you interrupted." Tim said.
"Well... what did you find out? You must have found something after questioning him for over thirty minutes Tim."
"He never said much and the only thing I found out was that they had lived in Kent somewhere until this thing broke out… not Bristol… they were in Bristol but they’re not from there. If you'd given me more time... maybe... I might have found out something more."
"Oh come on... they aren't bad people Tim... if they were you would have sussed that out by now... don't you think?" I said trying to be cool.
"I guess." He said slumping his shoulders and looking tired suddenly.
"You're tired. Why don't you go and rest for a while. I can take care of things here... and anyway... Shirley is going to be asleep for a while, because Jenny had to give her a sedative. When she wakes up... well... I can come get you." I said smiling at him as he started to smile back at me.
"Okay bossy... why don't you join me?" He asked mischievously.
"Haha... now you're trying it on... aren't you." I said with a cheeky smile.
"Oh come on... no one will know Lydia." He said reaching out his hand towards mine over the table.
"Well, I guess not." I said as he got up and pulled me up and out of the chair.
"Come on... my room is down the hall."
He hurried me into his room. We had our own rooms, but most nights we would end up in one of them together. He threw me down onto the bed. I couldn't help it, but I knew I wanted him again. He made me feel better too.
He kissed me hungrily on the lips and I moaned as his hands slid underneath my shirt. I could feel him touch my breast, because I wasn't wearing a bra. These days, I didn't have one on, because I couldn't find one that fit.
I moaned as I felt his lips go crazy over my own. I put my hands under his sweater and stroked his back as he lay on top of me. He kissed me passionately and I ached for him.
Suddenly, we heard screams in the distance and it shook us both by surprise. We shot up instantly at the terrible sounds of someone screaming.
"What was that?" I said as I pushed Tim away.
"God damn it! I think it's someone screaming" Tim paused bitterly. "I suppose we better go and check it out."
"I guess we should Tim. We can get to this later... Come on." I said smiling at him as I grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the bed.
"I guess we have no choice." He said impatiently as we walked out into the hallway.
By now, the screaming was getting louder and I started to freak out. What was going on? Surely, Shirley wasn't still angry with Aiden?
I was beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about until I saw Jenny run out of the room; nearly bumping into us.
"Jenny... what's going on?" I asked urgently.
"Oh my God Lydia... it's Shirley and Charlie... they... they..."
"What Jenny... what?" I screamed as I grabbed and shook her by the arm.
"Go see for yourself... you'll know what I mean when you see." Jenny said as she shivered and started to cry.
"Come on Tim... let's go in there... Jenny.... Wait here." I said watching Jenny nod.
I opened the door and we saw Aiden standing there. He turned to look at me and I saw that he'd been crying.
"What happened?" I asked him looking around the room and then without realising, I saw a body on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I felt sick.
"Aiden... what happened here?" Tim was the first to get it out of him.
"It wasn't my fault Tim. Shirley went wild and then I tried to calm her down, but she kept trying to punch me, so Charlie came around her other side... he tried calming her down... It all happened so quickly... we didn't see until it was too late." Aiden said collapsing onto the chair crying.
"See what?" Tim asked.
"Shirley got hold of the empty needle on the bedside cabinet and stabbed it into his neck... I don't think she meant to do it to him... I think it was meant for me. But Charlie tried to help me by coming around to my side of the bed to hold her down and then, he got it instead."
I could see Charlie's body pouring with blood and Shirley was in a deep sleep on the bed once again. I knew that Jenny had probably given her a sedative to calm her down, but it had probably been too late for poor Charlie. I couldn't stop staring at Charlie's poor body, sprawled out on the floor. His neck was slit across the middle as blood seeped from it. I knew he was dead and I feared what might happen next until it did.
"Tim... Aiden... move... quickly!" I screamed loudly.
It was then that I saw Charlie's arms start to move; grabbing onto Aiden's ankle and tripping him up onto the floor next to him!
"Aiden!" I screamed.

I acted instinctively and managed to pull Aiden away from Charlie as Lydia stabbed a knife into his head. Charlie laid still as blood seeped from his neck.
It was crazy. I
