gone, make me a coffee then we’ll talk about it.” Shaun noticed that he’d looked towards the bedroom door, without any thought for himself he headed towards the bedroom. Nick immediately raised his voice in an attempt to stop him and said, “I told you to make the fucking coffee!” Ignoring him, Shaun opened the door. Nick shouted again, “You’re supposed to work for me and I told you to do something!” Seething with anger Shaun was just about to reply when he saw her lying on the floor. Rushing over to her he knelt down next to her; pressing his fingers onto her neck he felt a weak pulse, repeating her name over and over as he picked her up and walked out into the lounge. Nick was still sitting down as he looked at Shaun and said, “She’s dead, get rid of her!” “She’s alive and I’m taking her to Jimmy’s!” replied Shaun aggressively. Suddenly Nick stood up and shouted, “Put her down, she’s not going anywhere! I told the bitch I would see her dead before I’d let her leave. Now fucking put her down!” Defiantly Shaun had stood his ground and shouted back, “I work for you, but you don’t own me. Now like I said she’s going with me. It’s up to you we can do this easy or hard, but I’m not leaving her here! If I were you I’d pray she doesn’t die. We’re leaving now, so you’d best get out of my way Nick. I’ll be back later!” Seeing that Shaun wasn’t about to back down, sarcastically Nick replied, “Take the fucking whore, with any luck she’ll be dead by the time you get there and just remember who pays you, now get out!”

CHAPTER 3
     
    Jimmy knew nothing of what had happened between the two men, other than what Shaun had said about Nick killing her if he hadn’t have turned up when he did.
    Gently stroking her hair and holding her hand, he felt a surge of guilt for leaving her at Nicks. Leaning over he gently kissed her forehead, slowly she opened her eyes and tried to focus on his face, but even in her semi-conscious state she immediately put her arms up to defend herself before pulling her knees up under her chest to protect her body. Realising she was absolutely terrified Jimmy scooped her trembling body up into his arms and in a soft voice said, “You’re ok babe; nobody’s going to hurt you.” Laying her head against his chest she drifted out of consciousness.
    It was several hours before she woke again and slowly opening her eyes she could see him looking at her. Smiling he said, “I’ve made you some tea babe.” After helping her gently to sit up to drink, he added “You’ve been stirring for the past twenty minutes.” Her lips were so badly cut and swollen she could barely sip from the cup. Laying her back down, he sat down opposite her, she watched as he clasped his face in his hands and said, “Please forgive me Maria.” Barely able to speak, in a quiet voice she replied, “Forgive you for what?” “For doing this to you.” “You didn’t do this Jimmy.” “No, not technically babe, but if I hadn’t been so fucking stupid in the first place, none of this would have happened!” Before he could say anything else, she drifted back off again.
    The hours passed until she gradually woke again. “Feeling better?” said Jimmy. Looking at him she slowly nodded her head, but despite his earlier reassurance, he could tell from her eyes she was afraid of him. “Can I get you anything,” he said with a smile. Without taking her eyes from him she shook her head and just lying there she remained silent for the next three hours. He noticed that every time he moved or stood up she flinched and looked afraid.
    The day had passed. As the evening drew in he said, “Is there anything I can get you, anything you want?” To his relief along with surprise she nodded her head. Waiting for her to say what it was, it was as though she was too afraid to ask, so smiling he said, “Ok babe what happens now, do I have to guess, or are you going to tell me?”
