Consequences Pt. 09A

Going back in, Bree asked immediately "Are you sure that's all true?"

"The only way I can confirm it would be to go through her phone but I can't face it, so I have to accept the words of a crazed woman. I need to go and see Ana, have a look at this. I showed her the video from Olivia from Saturday night. You can check the photos too but I can't bring myself to look.

We exchanged smiles and I headed to find Ana.

Arriving on the landing I tracked down murmurings and entered that room. Olivia was sat by Ana who was curled up on the bed. I looked at Ana then said to Olivia "OK you can leave." She gave me a frightened look but didn't move. "You heard what I said, get out." I had not seen such a shocked look on her face since I caught her with Ana and Peter, and I loved it. I didn't even believe the version I got of that particular incident now, 'ohh hell I had been well and truly cuckolded' I thought.

She eventually cowed to me and walked past without looking at me. When she had gone, I pulled Ana onto my lap and went through the act that I knew to bring her out of this state. She didn't deserve it in my view but I figured it was the only way to get her back to normal and out of my house. I must admit though I wasn't as gentle as I usually was and her cries rang out around the house, so that as I made my way down the stairs I was getting several evil eyes. Fortunately for me, Ana came down the stairs a short while later looking as if nothing had ever happened.

I found Bree still in my office, now she was in tears, really crying. The video was still up and paused. "Is that what you did too?" I asked.

Her crying increased as she nodded. "Ohh fuck" was all I could say. I stood there and stood there, I was getting so much of this thrown at me I was going into breakdown. I turned, picked up my camera, took the memory stick out and started copying across to my hard drive. I loaded them into my software and started the process of deleting those that I wouldn't keep. I forgot about Bree being there and then I heard, "Who's that?" I looked at my screen and there was an early shot of Lisa.

"A waitress where I had my evening meal on Sunday."

"She's gorgeous," Bree said.

I just said "Yep." I could tell Bree was intrigued, in truth she was more than intrigued, there was a lot of 'just a waitress pictures'

Without seeming obvious I moved the 'naughty' pictures into another file and called it Monday.

That interlude helped bring me back to the real world. Bree was looking at me strangely. I said, "I think I just had a breakdown, will you keep it to yourself please." She came and hugged me. She wanted to say 'I love you but didn't think he would believe her,' which I wouldn't. "I am going to try and get everything underway within a couple of days and then lose myself in something else. Could you be a rock for me for a while before you go.?" She thought to herself that 'he's convinced that I want to leave and I can't work out why, what had I done that was so different from anyone else.'

Bree said, "I think you have probably done enough for one day. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need to visit Olivia's parents, can you find out about transport and accommodation without her knowing?"

"Can I ask why?"

"Yes, something may have happened to her when she was a child that could later have triggered her problem, I want to judge for myself if they might know something and whether they would talk to Angela".

He waited while she found a paper and pen to make notes, then continued, "Next I need to give Aleesha as much information as I can about that Zac who raped Olivia. She looked at him totally astounded. "Ohh shit" he said, "You better sit down" and he related all he knew about it, the involvement of Francine and Joannie and what Aleesha would need.

"I am going to let Jane deal with the relationships issues with the others after the holiday. When I looked at everyone I could see a big mix of feelings and it's important we identify as soon as we can if anyone is feeling unhappy or unsettled. I'll also tell you a few things I set in motion today. I put the fix in on Mark who is having an affair with Monica at our office. Bree just looked mystified and incredulous. I am waiting on the test results from the doctor on everyone's health and their pregnancy. I am not sure I can face that if there is anything bad in the report but once we are sure who is pregnant and who isn't we can start giving them the option to terminate."

Changing tack he asked, "Can you keep your ear out and let me know if anyone looked at my phone while I was away Sunday? Just to be forewarned about what might come up in a one to one, I won't be cross, it was me that left it there, in fact in a weird way I wanted people to find it just to get a bit of revenge, but I'm over that now. Bree nodded her understanding, having heard everything now she was understanding much clearer what the issues were. David's recording about the mistakes he had made were a real eye opener. In fact she was slightly envious that Olivia had such an opportunity to enjoy a really good relationship with David if she had only stuck to the rules. It was something she would like with him if she had a chance but now wasn't the time to bring it up.
