His First Loss

by LordSSS

Phil and Shirley anticipate the arrival of Ben. When he returns, Shirley can't handle it and give Phil the ultimatum, her or Ben. He picks Ben, Shirley gets revenge and wins. First fanfic. I don't own any characters.

1. The return

Why? Why Heather? Why that room? Why that photo frame?

The court said Ben Mitchell to be no threat to the public. This was of course, not true. His dad, Phil, had a brilliant brief.

"Answer that will you Phil!" Shirley shouted from the bathroom as the phone rings,

"Okay!" Phil replied letting out a sigh of dismay,

"Hello" Phil snapped in his usual dismissive tone,

"It's Richie, Ben is being released on bail today, you need to get him from the courts after three."

"Listen, thanks for all you've done" he hung up.

"Shirl! Ben is out!" Phil exclaimed in an unusual excitement,

"Oh great, Phil, that's great!" Shirley replied with a fake tone, she didnt want Ben back, a constant reminder of what he did, to Heather, her best friend.

Shirley didn't go to get Ben, she didn't care for him anymore, he was dead, and he would remain that way in her mind. Phil entered with his murdering son. Shirley knew this was it, Ben was back.
