Lachie Maroon 2013
Parents: Tina

After being wrongly accused of stealing drugs from the medicine cupboard at the hospital, and unable to prove her innocence, nurse Georgia Brooks found herself suspended. and then sacked. Georgia was ready to give up, but her boyfriend Kyle was determined to clear her name and, after chatting to Cassie Nicholls at Amber Turner's pool party, he found out that Lachie, a kid at school, was infamous for selling medication from his locker. When a search turned up nothing, Amber offered to try and catch Lachie out, and she approached him at school. He was unwilling to talk about it there, but when she met him by the lake, her cover was blown by an angry Kyle, who grabbed him and tried to search his bag. When the police arrived, Lachie was only found to be carrying books with him, and said that he wanted Kyle charged with assault. As Kyle, Georgia and Lachie waited at the police station, Tina arrived to see her son, and Georgia suddenly realised who the thief was - Tina had been complaining about a back problem for weeks; she'd been stealing the drugs and Lachie had in turn been stealing them from her to sell at school. Tina was then charged for her crimes and Georgia was reinstated in her old job.
