Episode 442
25th December 2007 9:01pm (Tuesday): Snow drifted onto Park Street, fire engulfed No.3 Park Street, Jo was sat in an interview room "in under 25 days Thornton turned from a happy Christmassy City, into a city engulfed in gang warfare! how the hell did this happen?" D.C.I Jonny Grady asked, "I'll tell you what I know.....

25 Days earlier....


Liam walked back onto Park Street, snow drifted down, covering the cars, roofs, the pavement and the road, he stood outside the Thorn Inn, he lit a cigarette, he heard the door open behind him, he quickly hid himself in the ginnel beside the pub, he walked onto the backstreet, and walked off, he looked ahead, "Liam?" Marlon asked, "Marlon" Liam sighed, "where on Earth have you been?" Marlon asked, "around" Liam replied, Tracy shouted out from the shop, Marlon turned away, when he turned back, Liam had disappeared, a firework flew up into the sky, Tracy walked out the back door, "Whats up?" she asked, "I just saw Liam" Marlon was confused, "are you sure?" Tracy asked, Marlon looked up and down the back-street, "no" he sighed as they walked back in.

Out on the front street, a cab pulled up outside of No.6, Heather walked out with a suitcase, followed by Jo and Hannah, "good luck, and keep in touch" Jo waved, "I will, and thank you, for everything" Heather smiled, as she put her suitcase in the back of the hackney cab, she got in, "goodbye" she smiled, and closed the door, the cab pulled away, Robert was looking out of his window, he looked across at the Thomas' house, he sighed, and drew the curtains, Jo had bought Maria and Heathers share in Parkers Casuals out, Liam was sat outside the medical centre, he looked over at Jo, and he stood up, he began walking toward No.6, but suddenly turned down Townhouse Road

Meanwhile over in No.15, Peter was putting the Christmas Tree up, Bertha was sat watching T.V, "can you give me a hand?" Peter asked, "I hurt me bleedin' foot, how many more times do I have to tell ya?" Bertha sighed, "you could at least untangle the lights" Peter pointed toward a heap of tangled lights laid in front of Bertha, "let me watch this first" Bertha shouted, Peter grabbed his keys and coat, "you put the rest up" Peter sighed, "where are you going?" Bertha asked, "out, and I wont be back until tommorow" he sighed, he walked out and zipped his coat up, he pulled his mobile out of his coat pocket, and rang Jo, "Hey, Jo meet you at The Hogs Head in Middledale...yeah, ok, see you soon" he smiled, Jo got up, "Im going out for a bit, see ya later" Jo shouted up the stairs, "ok bye" Hannah and Robert shouted down, Suzy walked up to the door as Jo opened it, "Suze, could you look after the kids? I need to pop out" Jo smiled, "yeah sure" Suzy smiled, Bertha was putting decorations on the tree, tears dripped down her face, and every so often she looked at the door waiting for Peter to come back...
