A week or two later, Alex is the first accused. Martha is still in a coma after her shooting and Adele is still in shock of the revelation.

“Leo, Leo!” Leo Harris was in the corridor getting on his jacket, standing from the top of the stairs was his sister Jasmine. “Hang on wait a minute” she added as she came hurrying down the stairs.
“Where are you going?”
“Out” he called. “I hope you’re not keeping tabs on me Jasmine I don’t need a babysitter!” Jasmine sighed.
“I am not babysitting you; I just want you to be careful”
“I am always careful,” he said. She looks at him worriedly, turns away, goes back up to the landing, and sees Joyce in a daze. “Joyce, Joyce come away from the window” Jasmine went over and took her by the arm. “Come on lets go downstairs” she said.
In the study Graham and Margaret were there going over a few things regarding the town’s celebrations. “It’s been five months now since Martha’s shooting and I don’t think that Joyce is still not up to being back in the Mayor’s office” said Graham.
“We are doing the best we can to stand in for her,” said Margaret. “Just be grateful that you are here for her,” she said.
“Knowing I have a son, now who hates the living daylights out of me, my own family are not even talking to me!”

“This is what we got,” commented Detective Dean Brody. “On the night of the shooting we have the suspects Alex Cohen, Victoria Heatherfield and we have Stefano Pierra” he said pointing to all the photographs.
“Hang on if these are the suspects and why do we have Alex Cohen locked up!” Demanded Maria Saunders.
“We got him locked up for convicted drug selling and also ownership of a gun not even legal in his possession!”
“The gun confirms that it was used on the day of the shooting” said Doctor Adam Monroe.
“That’s it then we have our target!” He clasped his hands.
“Just like that we have our shooter that gun could have been stolen Detective!”
“HE was the last one to use it!”

Ken was walking around with a drink in his hand. Jean Harris walks in the room. “Are you okay?”
He shook his head. “I am trying to work out who shot my sister, my dad is not my dad and it’s just so crazy!”
“A drink is not going to solve a problem. I should know,” said Gene. “You should put that down and calm down you have a wife and son and another on the way,” she said. “Your mother needs you, so does your family” she replied.
“They better get the person who did this!”
“They will”
Scene: The Palmers
Jack is wiping the sides of the bar. Suzanne is looking outside through the window. “No passing trade” she said.
“Things will pick up” said Jack with hope in his heart.
“Have you been to see Joyce?” She shook her head.
“I doubt that she want to see me as Alex is locked up” she said. “I think I keep away,” she said.
Carly arrived from the side with Kelly.
“HI girls” said Jack.
“We’re going to see Alex now; the Doctor is going to see him. He is not well mum and he needs us there,” she said.
“You don’t mind if I go with them? He shook his head.
Scene: The Badhamns
Chantal came out of the shower as her partner was sitting on the bed reading the newspaper. “What’s going on?”
“What do you think?” He handed it to her. Graham was shirtless and in a towel. Chantal sat by him looking at the coverage.

“Still no news and she is not waking up” Joyce said with her head in her hands. Josie Mitchell sat by her and put her arm around her.
“Darling what are they saying?” Adele shook her head.
“They took everything out of her and he still in a coma. They don’t know what is going on mum and I assure you we are doing everything we can to make it that Martha pulls this one through” she said.
Adele walked over to her fiancé Max. “Well, what do you think? He was holding her hand.
“I don’t know but I am going to call Mickey!”
“Adele!”
“No Max Martha needs her husband!”
“They are going through a divorce!”
“Still he could possibly be by her side, I know she’s my sister and that and she has done some awful things!”
“Not now Adele!”
“She needs a well regard familiar voice!”
Scene: The Badhamans
Eddie Badhamn ran down the stairs. “Mickey!” Mickey sat at the table tapping away at the computer.
“Phone its Adele”

Detective Dean Brody walked into the room where Carly was sitting with Alex and Carly.
“Detective?”
“Sorry BUT we have to ask you to come to the station” he said to Alex.
Scene: The Hospital
“I want to concentrate on my family Max, I do not need to work out our problems. I DON’T want mum to think there is anything going on between you Martha and I. Not now do you understand me?”
Max nodded. “So we just wait, wait for something which could never happen. We could move on from this Adele. You and me start somewhere new and forget the whole damn thing!”
“You are impossible, just leave will you. Don’t come again until I call you, you understand me?” Max walks away.
