"Sleep well Rose." Oscar spoke soothingly to the girl. standing up and making his way to the door, Oscar decided that he would do something he had wanted to do for a long time. striding back towards the bed he lent down and gently placed a kiss on her head. "I love you" He wispered before he finaly left the room.
EARLIER THAT DAY
"Frank, i don't know what to do." Stella said at the meeting between MI 9 social services and all the inderviduals involved with Rose, other than her father. "I mean i know she can't stay with that man, but where else can she go? There are no more MI 9 foster carers who can take on something like this."
Rose had been taken to hospital and had all of her injuries taken care of. Whilst she was there they were using the time to arrange accomodation for her.
"I think that it might be worth asking a current foster carer if they could take on another young person." Frank was trying to help as best he could but he knew that this would most likley take a long time to fix.
"Excuse me, I would like to chip in now, there are no foster cares that are avalible to take on another child, besides i think with the situaction, the young lady should have a one to one gaurdian." A man from the end of the table spoke "It will be more benifitial for her emotional wellbeing."
Frank understood what was being said but didn't really want to allow it to happen. He unlike the others in the room knew Rose. He knew that Rose would rather join a family so there was no attention on her than have it all drawn to her. "I have another soloution. I believe you are aware of Oscar Cole's case?" When all the paticipants of the meeting nodded, he continued. "Well, i am also aware of how the two have a very strong friendship. I think that the best thing for her and also for him would be for them to have the oppertunity to support each other."
Everyone thought about this, the man who spoke earlier was the first to comment. "I take what you are saying and i agree that it would be a good idea. The problem is, that the family who look after Oscar don't really have space for another person." This statment cause another series of mutterings amung the group.
"There is enough room, and im pretty sure that Oscar would make sure there was room for her." A lady Frank had never met was now joining the converstaion. "I am Oscar's counciller and the amount that he talks about her, i would strongly say that this is the best idea we have had yet."
"Alright, I will contact the agent in charge. Does anyone else have anything to say on the matter before we move onto dealing with the father?" Stella asked them all. No one spoke up so she stood and took her phone out of the room clearly to make the phone call.
Frank decided to start the next part of the decision. "Does anyone want to take the lead into the case against Mr Gupta?" A man who had not yet spoken raised his head.
"I would like to do this task please. I have been in cahrge of many cases of child abuse." No one said anything in objection to this. "Right, i think the first point of call should be for us to question the suspect, and detain him if nessicerray. What do you all think in regards to keeping Rose's identity of a spy a secret?"
A few mumbles went around the group but it as decided in the end that they should not hide that she was a spy from her father. After descussing the situation for a while longer, Stella returned to inform them that Oscar's foster carer would indeed be able to take on another child, and they would just need to ask Oscar before giving a definate answer.
"Alright then, well i think this meeting is finished, Stella and Frank, i trust you will be able to sort out the two children. i can't really see them saying no to letting Rose stay." The gentleman from the star said.
With that all the adults stood and left the room.
Oscar had occompanied rose to the hospital where he hoped he would be able to keep her calm enough in order to get treated.
Currently Rose was snoozing on a bed curled up with his jumper. Part of him really wanted to admitt his fealings for the girl but he also knew that he didn't want to ruin the friendship. Raising his gaze from Rose, he spotted his carer at the door. Slowly climbing off the bed, so as not to wake her up, he went to find out what was wrong.
"Hello Caren, is everything alright?" Oscar said closing the door but returning to look at rose though the door.
Caren noticed this gesture and smiled "I actually wanted to ask you something. We have been trying to find a suitble placement for Rose since she will no longer be able to stay where she currently lives." Oscar was now started to get interested and had actually taken his gaze away from rose. "I had a phone call from Stella earlier asking if we whould have space to take Rose in."
Oscar smiled the biggest smile she had ever seen him give. "Do you mean she could stay with us?"
"Of course that is what i mean, i just wanted to check what you thought before i said yes, but somehow i didn't think it would be a problem." She patted Oscar on the back. "I'm going to go and get her bedroom ready, when she gets released from here let me know and i will come and get you both."
Oscar gentily opened the door and went back to sit with rose.
The movement of the bed woke rose from her peaceful slumber. "What...Where..oh hey." Rose maaged to mmble out.
"Hello rose. how are you feeling? You are currently in the MI 9 hospital. you father has been detained and you will not be returning to his care." Rose's face went from shock to relief to confusion.
"I have nowhere else to go. I should never have said anything, im so stupid father will hate me . oh dear now what i must be late back i must go before he realises." Rose was in a fullly fledged panic by this point and was desperatly trying to get off of the bed.
"Rose, did you not listen to what i said?" Oscar held her shoulders gentily but fermly to the bed. "You will not return to your father. If it is alright with you, it has been arraged for you to come and stay at my home."
Oscar looked hopful that she would be compfortable enough to stay with him. "Really, your not joking are you?"
"No, i want to tell you something else too, but you need to promise not to freak out." Oscar realieased her shoulders and ooked down at his hands.
"I love you too Oscar Cole."
There you go, let me know what you all think of this and where you want it to go next. I think this will most likley only be another chapter or two.
please review :)
