Hour 1

Chandler

DI Joseph Chandler never woke up late for work. Ever. In fact, he had woken up at the same time every morning unless disturbed since he started high school aged eleven. So why had today been different from the norm?

He threw himself out of bed landing heavily on the floor and ran into the bathroom turning the shower on to heat up while he brushed his teeth, he jumped in and had what was possibly the quickest shower of his whole life, he towelled off in a rush and decided on the first suit he pulled out of his wardrobe but the OCD in him would not allow for a random selection of a tie. It had to be the perfect one for that suit; he was going to have to just start putting the ties with the suits to make his life easier.

Instead of sitting down at the table and having a decent breakfast like he had planned he managed half a cup of tea and a biscuit in between getting dressed, before his phone rang. One hand pulling on a shoe attempting to tie his laces once on, the other pressing a unusually hot iPhone to his ear, he sighed.

"Hello?"

"Good morning Joe!" Judy chirped

"Oh, hi Judy, what's up?" He smiled turning his attention completely to the conversation leaving his shoe laces untied and he sat down on the bed, he needed to make that.

"Ray and I were wondering if you'd like to come over for dinner tonight, you haven't been round in a while and Ella keeps asking for her god-father,"

Joe could sense her smiling to herself down the phone, knowing she had him right where she wanted him and he smiled to himself, "Of course, what time?"

"Straight after work. I'm not giving you chance to opt out mister!" She told him sternly, but with a small laugh

He chuckled "Okay, okay, I promise I won't"

"She knows who I'm talking too," Judy laughed again on the other end of the line "Watching me like a hawk she is," There was a small squeal on her end followed by " 'iam!" "Sorry to cut the conversation short Joe but I'm going to have to go."

"It's fine Judy, I understand… See you tonight," Kids…

"See you later Joe!"

He threw the phone down on his bed beside him and proceeded to hunt for his left shoe after successfully tying the laces on the right one he was currently wearing. Before he knew it he was on his hands and knees, head pressed against the floor looking under his bed for the elusive shoe.

Miles

"He said yes!" Judy called to Ray from the kitchen as she picked up Ella and her car keys "Boys!"

"Good!" He shouted back as he fumbled with his tie as-per usual "It'll be good to get him out of the office!" He pulled his coat down from the rack.

"Here," She claimed the tie from his hands, completely undid it and re-did it herself; it looked ten times as smart than before, "There, much better!" She nodded proudly and patted his chest with her free hand, then turned her attention to the fact that none of the boys were with her "Boys! It's time to go!" Judy yelled, Liam appeared at her side from the kitchen and Jack ran down the stairs.

"Jamie!"

"One minute mum!" the muffled shout came from the boy upstairs and afterwards a couple of soft bangs as things were thrown around a room.

"No Jamie, now!" Ray shouted up to his son, backing Judy up "You've had all morning and last night to make sure you had everything ready!" He yelled, "Your mum and brothers are ready to go now! Whatever you don't have you're going to have to leave or I swear I will come up there and drag you down!" He warned taking a warning step up the stairs, making sure his foot banged loud enough to be heard upstairs

"Okay, okay…" The young boy mumbled as he stomped down the stairs

"Get your jumper on." Judy told him sternly, taking his bag in the arm that wasn't holding Ella while he pulled the aforementioned dark green jumper over his head.

"Right." He sighed ruffling Liam's hair, "I'll see you later," He kissed Judy goodbye and was out the door quick as a flash.

Kent

"Chelsea!" Kent shouted to one of his two female flatmates "I need you to move your car! I'm going to be late for work! Get! Up!" He hand a hand over his face and let out a frustrated sigh "If you don't come down and move your car I will come up there and interrupt whatever it is you and Adam are up to! I swear I'll do it!"

"Okay!" Chelsea squealed back finally jogging down the stairs in her skimpy pyjamas with car keys in hand

"Don't you need to put some shoes on?" he asked looking concerned down at her bare feet

"I'm out of my nice and cosy bed to move my car for you Em. Shut up."

"Fine, fine!" He held up his hands in surrender, if he kept on arguing she wouldn't move the car and he would have to make alternative arrangements for getting to work in the foreseeable future as Chelsea worked from home so her car rarely moved.

He reluctantly followed her outside and watched wearing an emotionless mask to hide his concern that she was driving without shoes as she backed the little red Corsa out of the driveway, parking up on the street.

She climbed out and tiptoed quickly into the house/flats shooting him a death glare as she passed him, she reached out and punched his arm before grinning cheekily and trotting back inside, "There you go, Constable! You may now go to work! Can I go back to bed now?"

"Yeah, have fun…"

"Oh, I will…"

He pulled a face and shook his head.
