EastEnders: Luke's revenge
Chapter 1
Sharon Mitchell drove in a blind panic from her son's school that Monday afternoon. She couldn't believe what was happening- her son Denny failed to be at school for her to pick him up. Where could he be? Sharon wondered frantically.
She had asked the teachers at school if they had seen him, but they were useless. They told her that all they saw was a car that parked against the car park and the chauffeur got out to let an unsuspecting Denny in the car.
Sharon was furious with the teachers for letting him go anywhere without her, and they apologised, telling her they thought it was a relative of Denny.
Sharon said the apology was too little too late, and with the teachers promising to keep an eye out for Denny, Sharon stormed out and drove home.
She hurriedly parked the car in her and Phil's parking space before gunning the engine, taking the keys out of the dashboard before opening the door and slamming it shut behind her.
She then rushed into her home through the back door, and when she saw Phil wasn't in the kitchen she yelled out for him. "Phil!" she yelled. "Phil!"
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs a minute later. She wouldn't survive if anything had happened to her husband too.
"Sharon? Sharon, what is it? You look terrible," Phil told her as they met in the kitchen. Sharon finally let her tears escape and sobbed as she flung her arms around Phil who hugged her back.
"Sharon, what's wrong?" he asked again. With a sniffle, Sharon told him what had happened. Afterwards, Sharon saw fear in his eyes as he realised what was going on. Fear, then anger. "You're saying someone kidnapped our son," Phil said in a dangerously low voice. Sharon bit her lip. "I'm sorry I let you down, Phil. I know I should've been there for him," she said. Phil brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and looked deep into her eyes.
"It's not your fault, Sharon," he said, and Sharon could see how angry he was. "I'm going to find out who could have taken him. Stay here, keep a look out for him and keep the doors and windows locked okay? I'll tell you what I find out and I'll be back soon before dinner," Phil told her soothingly before grabbing his jacket and keys.
"Where are you going?" Sharon asked as she sat down, trying to get her breath back. "To see an old friend," Phil told her before giving her one last look and leaving the house through the back door.
Phil found his old 'friend' about to go through an alleyway. Before the man made it through, Phil appeared in front of him, blocking the exit and grabbed him roughly by the collar before shoving him against the wall.
"Philip," Aiden greeted him in that calm manner he always used. Sometimes it drove Phil mad. "Where is he?" Phil demanded. "Where's my son?" he asked angrily. Aiden smiled. "I'm afraid I don't understand what your problem is Philip," he said calmly.
"I also am not familiar with your son, and you know I'd never hurt him as that would hurt Sharon and I don't want to harm her after all the kind things she has done for our group," he told him. "Ex group," Phil corrected him. "Look, you and me go way back Aiden. You might know things about my family as I might have told you things when we were inside. So just tell me, where is my son?" he repeated angrily. Aiden smiled. "I think you better watch your tone there, Phillip, or you may find we may not be so friendly with each other anymore, and I'd be even less than willing to share any information I know with you," Aiden said in that quiet, threatening voice of his.
Phil sighed, giving in. "All right, Mcguire, all right," he said as he let Aiden go. "Just tell me, where is my son?" he repeated. Aiden smiled calmly. "I didn't hear the magic word," he said. The two men locked eyes for a moment. "Please," Phil managed to say through gritted teeth. Aiden smiled triumphantly. "There, that's better," he said, giving Phil a pat on the shoulder.
Aiden leaned in towards Phil confidentially. "This may surprise you, Phillip, but the whole honest truth is that I don't have a clue where your son is, nor do I even know he's missing," Aiden told him. When Phil glared at him in reply, Aiden simply used his cane to tilt his hat forward. "Boy Scouts honour," he said with a smile.
Phil looked at him one more time before nodding. "Ok McGuire," he replied, "I believe you. But if I ever find out you are lying, then I will kill you," he told him, before also grinning. "Boy Scouts honour," he mimicked a cross looking Aiden before leaving him in the alleyway.
