After the incident, like any war, it was the never-ending feeling of guilt, that hung around Mark's neck, like an albatross of shame. He lived with it every day he was alive. After leaving the army, he took his solace in becoming a Fireman. He could save and not take, lives.
    
    Some of the people present at the funeral now knew this was not an accident, it had been premeditated. They were waiting for Mark's colleague Matt, to come out of his coma. They were sure that he was tied into this tragic event.
    
    Back in Bournemouth, Tanya's old boss Graham read about what had happened to Matt. He knew this was no accident. He had already done some covert digging into Tanya's new life and had taken a few days off, here and there, to track her. With what had now happened to Matt, she must surely see that she needed to step back from the madness she has wrapped herself up in.

    Two minutes later the phone rang in the Rose pub. Mickey asked the landlord to quietly lock the front door, if anyone was in there, persuade them to leave within the next ten minutes. If the guy with Tammi tried to leave, stop him, any way he can.
    
    The landlord walked over to the two old men that came in every day to sup on a few pints before the horse racing got underway and they'd walk to the bookmakers. He told them he needed to turn the power off and gave them twenty pounds to go down to the bookmakers early. They necked their drinks and eagerly waved goodbye.
