"Pretty quiet tonight, isn't it?" Hoagie Gilligan stood up as he walked over to Abby Lincoln, who was sitting on the opposite couch.
"Yeah," she said. "Everyone's busy. Mr. Boss is busy with Shawnee's birthday party, Spankulot's still in jail, even Cree's busy. She's got a date."
Cree had just had dinner with the family of her new boyfriend. After finding out a shocking secret about Maurice, she had broken up with him and soon found someone new, a boy called Nick. He was showing her his bedroom. Suddenly he edged closer, they sat on his big double bed, and soon things went very wrong.
