Mummy's Little Spy {Emmerdale}

12

Riley drove up to home farm with Lacey. She was finally coming home. Especially now she knew that Graham had been attacked. And especially when she couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Are you okay?" Lacey asked as she looked at her sister.

Riley looked to her and smiled. "I'm okay kiddo," Riley said as she pulled up outside the house.

Lacey nodded. Riley got out the car as did Lacey. The two of them walked into the house as they saw Kim. "Lacey. Where have you been? Riley...," Kim said as she saw her eldest daughter.

"Go on. I need to talk to mum," Riley said as Lacey looked to her and nodded. Riley watched as Lacey walked off.

Riley was worried. She could see how quiet and off her sister was. And she couldn't help but worry. Riley looked to Kim and sighed. "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me he had been attacked? I had a right to know," Riley said.

Kim looked to her and sighed. "I know. I'm sorry okay. Look, I know that you've been through a lot. And I was trying to protect you," Kim said.

Riley sighed as she looked at her mum. "I'm not a kid mum. But we need to find out who did this to him," Riley said as Kim nodded.

Riley couldn't help but feel as if Kim knew more than she was letting on.

Riley walked into the Lacey's room. She smiled as she saw Lacey sitting on her bed. "Are you okay?" Riley asked.

Lacey nodded. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because he's your dad. And he was attacked," Riley said.

Lacey looked at her and rolled her eyes. "He's not my dad. He's far from it. He's a sperm donor. And that's all he's ever going to be," Lacey said.

Riley looked to her and frowned. Riley could see the look of hatred that Lacey had. And she could how angry her little sister was.

No one knew who had attacked Graham. And Riley was starting fear it could be her own sister. "Where were you when he was attacked? Mum said you vanished."

"I went out. My head was a mess. And I needed to think. I didn't attack him if that's what you were asking. I was angry over the lies. But I didn't do it," Lacey said.

Riley looked to her sister and smiled. She believed Lacey didn't do it. But she also knew Lacey was hiding something and she had no idea what. But she was going to find out.

Riley sighed to herself as she got to the hospital. She knew that she had to see him. Riley stood in the doorway to his room and felt sick.

She couldn't believe that someone could do that to him. She walked over and sat down next to him. She smiled as she placed a hand on top of his.

She could see how badly he was battered and bruised. She didn't know who did this. But Riley wanted to make sure that they paid for it.

But Riley had no idea that her hunt for Graham's attacker would end up putting herself in danger.
