EPISODE #46 IN FANFIC

Joan is walking up the road when a thug with a skinhead haircut grabs her and drags her down an alleyway, he pins her to a wall.
Joan (startled) - What the hell is this? What do you want?
The thug - Relax Ferguson, I only want to give you a friendly warning...Bea Smith sent me to tell you to leave her granddaughter alone. She doesn't know what sort of game you're playing feeding her drugs but it must stop right now
Joan looks confused
Joan - Granddaughter? I didn't even know she had one
The thug shows Joan his flick knife
The thug - Are you trying to be smart Ferguson? Bea won't find it very amusing
Joan - No I'm serious, I swear I haven't been near her granddaughter, I didn't know anything about her, I didn't know Smith had a granddaughter
The thug - According to Smith her granddaughter is hanging out with an older woman called Joan who is supplying her with drugs
Joan - Well it's not me, you're threatening the wrong person
The thug - Smith is no fool Ferguson, you're out to get back at her and she knows that only too well
Joan - Well she's barking up the wrong tree this time
The thug - Just accept this warning, ignore it and I'll be back
The thug lets Joan go and walks off. Joan rushes off up the road

Connie - She wanted to have it off with me and I said no
Vera-Webster did?
Connie - Yes I said so didn't i
Vera- And you didn't give her any encouragement at all?
Connie - Of course not, I like boys don't i? It's like you said to me when I first got here ain't it, young girl like me clearly a target for dirty old lesbians
Vera - Yes and I won't tolerate this sort of thing! Mr Henderson get Webster and bring her here at once
Ian nods his head and leaves the room
Vera and Connie are alone
Connie - Oh Miss Bennett I was so scared, I thought she was going to kill me
Vera (angry) - She won't touch you again Slater I promise you....animals like her belong in Blackmoor



The visitor's room
Brumby sits head bowed
Anita - Well girl? I'm waiting...do you have anything to say to me?
Brumby -What do you expect me to say?
Anita - I'm sorry might be a good start....not that it means much. It can't give me back my family
Brumby - Yeah, well I am sorry
Anita - Are you? You could at least make it sound convincing. You say you're sorry but to me, it feels like there is no feeling in it, no genuine emotion. I wonder if you have given what you did a second thought since the day you did it
Brumby - Of course, I have! I'm not a complete bitch
Anita lays some photographs out on the table
Anita - Take a look at them
Brumby does so
Anita - Photos...that's all I have left now. Photos and memories....but it's not enough. I want my family back, I need them. I have nothing left to live for without them, they were my reason to get out of bed in the morning. My little grandkids, were such a bundle of energy, always full of beans. They would wear me out every time I saw them but I didn't care, they filled my life with joy....they were such bright little kids too, who knows what they could have made of their lives had they not been so abruptly cut short
Brumby has tears in her eyes
Brumby - Look I really am sorry I swear it
Anita - Maybe you are....but tell me how am I supposed to find a purpose in my life anymore? How am I supposed to carry on living? I just feel empty and dead inside
Brumby - Do you hate me?
Anita looks her in the eyes
Anita - I hate what you did...but do I hate you? I ask myself this question every day. I'm a good Christian woman and the lord says we should forgive and not hold onto anger and hate..but I don't know if I can forgive you for what you have done
Brumby - I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident
Anita - Young woman I don't doubt that for a second, but the fact is that you did do it. You did it because you're irresponsible and don't want to serve the sentence that the law has handed you right? You were so selfish and desperate to escape that you put your own needs ahead of other people's safety
Brumby - Yeah....but what can I do to put it right?
Anita - Face up to your actions, and be responsible. Think about others and not just yourself. Show the world you've learned from this and are willing to change, that's all you can do now
Anita stands up
Anita - And now its time I was leaving
Brumby - Don't you have anything else to say?
Anita - No nothing more... I just needed to see you. I don't know why but I did. Now I've done that...
Brumby - I mean it when I say I'm sorry for what I did and I am being punished for it, I was jailed for life you know 
Anita - Yes I know you got life and I'm sorry too...sorry that my family had to die so needlessly, sorry that you had to throw your life away with a foolish mistake... It's all such a damn waste of life
Anita leaves. Brumby sits head bowed quietly crying
Colleen - I'll take you back now Tucker
