Make this Arthur/ losses memory. Meets lance who has deaf/dunb brither merluin
Just six months ago he had been happy, truly happy, life was good so very, very good. Everything he had ever worked had fallen into place. All those years of being a scholarship student and scrimping and saving working all hours had finally paid off. Just this morning he had been thinking, that perhaps, he would be able to help his mother just as she had helped him all these years. After all he was now a fully trained a computer programmer and had a good job. Ok he had had some debts to pay off but hopefully before long he would be clear, then he intended to take his mum on her first holiday.
Then this morning his world caved in, in the worst possible way. His boss had called him into the office it seemed someone had sold company secrets to a major competitor and they had tracked the leak to him! His passwords had been used to hack into highly confidential material and he was out on his ear and would be prosecuted. As he walked into the office he had been arrested and taken to the police station for questioning. He was innocent but how could he prove it? What would his mother think? and his friends? His life was in tatters. He didn't know what to do, he had never felt so helpless in all his life.
He walked and walked not knowing where to go, would his flat mate even let him stay if he went back, after all he was a policeman, he probably wouldn't be able to even if he wanted to it would look to bad on him. He couldn't sleep on his friends couch after all they wouldn't want someone accused of theft in their houses. And his mum…. Oh god! His mum how would he tell her, he couldn't he just couldn't, she had been so proud of him. He knew he was innocent but he couldn't prove it, he knew enough to know that much. Not unless the guilty person stepped forwards and admitted it, they wouldn't do that after all they had set him up. In the end he decided the only thing he could do was go home to his mum, she would believe him she had to.
He walked to the train station and bought a ticket and waited for his train to arrive, once it did he got on and found a corner to sit in. After a while it got crowded so he walked along to see if he could find somewhere less busy, in the end he sat in the toilet, at least no one could see him crying in here. He fell eventually fell asleep. He woke up to someone banging on the door demanding he open up. He did to find a ticket collector, it seemed he had slept through his stop; He didn't have enough money to pay for the extra fair or to get the next train back. The conductor took pity on him and let him get off at the next unmanned stop, suggesting he get someone to pick him up.
Getting off he walked out of the station and went to look for a phone his mobile wasn't picking up a signal. He would ring his mum and hope she could get someone to pick him up. Darkness fell and he was still walking, he had no idea where he was but he didn't care when he got too tired to walk he sat down on a low wall and then spotting a bench decided to lie down and try to get some sleep….. he needed to sleep perhaps he would wake up and it would all be a nightmare.
He woke up and felt someone going through his pockets, sitting up quickly he tried to stop them but, whoever it was, was bigger and stronger than him, they also grabbed his bag and then ran off. He sat and cried for the first time since he was about he was about ten, he cried himself into exhaustion. In the morning he was woke up by the noise of the traffic. He opened his eyes and looked around trying to work out where he was. He didn't recognise anything around him, it was all strange so he decide to walk and see if he could recognise anything. As he got hungry he checked his pockets to see if he had any money but all he could find was a pound coin. He went into a small shop and bought a pie and a small drink, now all he had was a couple of pence. But at least the pie took the edge of his hunger.
