MAJOR SPOILERS

Jack hesitantly turned around to face Martha who looked up from her hands.

“That could have gone better” Jack stifled a laugh trying to lighten the mood.

“This isn’t the time for joking” Martha said

“Do you think I should go find her?” Jack asked Martha.

Martha thought for a moment before answering,

“No” she said “I think she needs some time to cool down then you can speak to her” Martha reasoned.

“Yeah you’re right” Jack said sitting down on the bed.

“Are you sure you’re not starting to regret this?” Martha asked Jack as she felt the tears well up in her eyes as she feared the answer.

“What. No” Jack said as he turned to face her. He embraced her in a hug before pulling away and placing a hand on each face and making her look at him.

“I don’t want to be anywhere but here” Jack told her seriously “And I never will”

Martha smiled lightly “Neither will I” she confirmed as she fell deep into his arms.

The pair lay down, embracing each other tightly they attempted to fall asleep.

Down at the beach an extremely distressed Sam stood by the waters edge as she let the water lap round her feet. It was raining so the droplets of rain on her face mixed with the tears as she continued to sob as she replayed the last hours discovery over and over in her mind.

“How could I have been too stupid?” Sam screeched at herself.

Suddenly Sam felt a presence behind her.

“Jack go away” Sam yelled angrily.

“Jack?” Sam asked as her body stiffened, she slowly turned around.

“Kylie Deeks?” the large man asked.

“Oh God” Sam said softly

“I think we need to take a little drive yeah” the man said as he grabbed a screaming Sam and carried her to his car.

“Mmm” Martha murmured, smiling she felt the warmth of the body lying next to her, suddenly her face hardened as she remembered the previous night.

She shot up and her memories were confirmed when she found herself in the Sands honeymoon suite.

Martha laid back down accidentally bumping Jack hard enough to awake him from his slumber.

“Mmm, morning” Jack smiled before he too remembered the previous nights events.

“Oh God” he said as he opened his eyes wide and ran his right hand through his hair.

“I know” Martha said as she realised what he was thinking “This is one royal mess” she said.

“You can say that again” Jack said sighing loudly.

“I guess we better get ready to face the world” Martha sighed tossing back the covers.

“Urgh, do we have to?” Jack groaned.

“Unfortunately” Martha laughed as she walked into the bathroom.

It was just your average everyday day in Summer Bay as Jake Lawson jogged along the beach when suddenly he saw something that made his blood run cold.

“Oh God” Jake murmured to himself as he saw a young woman washed up amongst seaweed and.

Jake moved towards the body and leant down, hesitantly he brought his fingers to her pulse point but. No pulse.

Martha and Jack walked through the door of the apartment.

Martha made her way towards the kitchen, grabbed a glass out of the cupboard and walked over to the sink but stopped when she noticed an ambulance down by the beach.

“Jack, come here” Martha said as Jack made his way over to her.

“What?” Jack asked as he stood beside her.

“Look” she said pointing to the ambulance.

“Oh God, it looks like, it looks like someone in a body bag” Jack exclaimed stunned.

“Come on” Martha said grabbing his arm and pulling him from the apartment trying to find out some ‘gossip’

“What’s going on?” Jack asked Colleen as him and Martha made there way over to Colleen who had been observing the whole thing.

“Oh love” Colleen said turning around with tears in her eyes.

“What?” Jack asked her noticing her upset state.

“It’s young Sam” Colleen broke the news.

“Wha…” Jack struggled to form a word.

“I... i… in the… there?” Jack asked pointing towards the body bag getting wheeled into the ambulance.

“I’m so sorry” Colleen said as Jack felt like he had lost his legs.

“Oh my God” Martha said from behind him, Jack turned around remembering Martha was standing right behind him.

“This is all our fault”…..

Jack and Martha walked in the apartment completely shocked. Neither dared to murmur a word.

Martha made her way over to sit on the couch while Jack made his way to the kitchen and leaned on the bench trying to stable his stance.

“This is….” Martha tried to find a word.

“What happened?” Martha asked him “Do you think she….. You know?” Martha asked him as Jack shot his head up.

“I honestly don’t know, it’s possible I guess she was so upset” Jack said,

“So this is all my fault” Martha exclaimed rising quickly to her feet.

“I didn’t say that” Jack retaliated.

“I know I’m sorry” Martha apologised “I just, if she did…. I don’t know how we are going to live with ourselves” Martha told him.

“Let’s just wait until we find out more yeah?” Jack told her.

“Yeah” Martha agreed as she flopped onto the couch. She placed her hands in her head and replayed the last hour in her head.

“I don’t think I can….” Jack told Martha as he prepared to idea Sams body.

“Yes you can” Martha told him.

Jack took in a deep breath as the pair entered a cold, dull white room.

“Ok Mr Holden I know this is hard but” The lady said as she pulled back a sheet and there lying was Sam.

“Oh God” Jack said as he raised his hand to his mouth in unison with Martha.

“Yeah, yeah that’s her” Jack said trying to take it all in.

“Ok, thankyou, you can go” The lady said smiling.

“Thankyou” Jack said as him and Martha both turned around to find McGrath and Harper standing there,

“I’m afraid you’re not going anywhere, Martha would you please accompany us down to the station” McGrath asked her very professionally,

“What why” Martha asked getting upset.

“To be question about the murder of Sam Tollhurst”

“What, you’re kidding” Martha exclaimed,

“Boss this is ridiculous” Jack told McGrath.

“Come on” McGrath said ignoring Jack as he grabbed Martha’s arm and escorted her to the car.

“I can’t believe this” Martha said as she sat in the cold interview room with Morag next to her.

“Where were you between the hours of midnight last night and five this morning?” McGrath asked her,

Martha bit her lip and looked down to the table.

“Martha?” Morag asked her guilty looking niece “Don’t say a thing” Morag said fearing the worst.

“What?” Martha asked looking up “You think I killed her?” Martha asked disgusted.

“Come on Martha, she had Jack and you had him first, you just wanted what you believed was rightfully yours” McGrath told her.

“What kind of person do you think I am?” Martha asked him “You know me; you honestly think I’m capable of that?” Martha asked him,

“Until you tell me where you were between the hours of twelve and five I don’t know what to think” he told her,

“Fine” Martha said biting her lip and looking up at him “I was…..”

“Martha” Morag warned,

“It’s fine aunty Morag” Martha said before starting again.

“I was at the Sands Hotel, I was there from about seven last night till bout eight this morning” she told him.

McGrath took in a deep breath “Is there anyone who can vouch for that, who were you with were?” he asked her.

Martha looked nervous as she looked at her hands.

“Jack” she whispered.

McGrath took in a deep breathe “You and Jack were together last night” McGrath asked her to make sure he had the right story

“Yeah” Martha confirmed.

“Right, check it out” McGrath said sitting down in front of her as he spoke to Harper.

“Is there something else you would like to tell me?” McGrath asked her,

“Yeah” Martha said looking nervous as she fidgeted in her chair.

“Sam walked in on us” Martha said looking up.

“God” McGrath let out an exasperated sigh,

“Can I go see Jack please?” Martha asked McGrath nicely,

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll get onto the Sands” McGrath said standing up.

“Thankyou” Martha said standing up and exiting the room.

Martha walked up to Jack who had just finished talking to Harper.

“I’m sorry, I had to tell them” Martha said as she walked up to him.

“It’s fine” Jack said as he embraced her.

“This is like a nightmare” Jack said as he held her.

“You’re telling me” Martha said as she clung to him. Little did they know the nightmare was going to get a lot worse……

:o Sam walked in on them. At least, now she knows.

:o Sam has been murdered? It can be Martha or Jack. It has to be someone else. But who? :unsure:

Now everybody's going to know about their affair. <_<

The last sentence of your chapter doesn't sound good. :(

More please.

But of course, it has to be someone from her Shane days :)

Poor Jack and Martha. If Jack went after her, none of this would have happened, and Jack and Martha could be together, without having to deal with the guilt :(

Oh well :)

More pleaseeeee!!!
