Time for Plan B?
Lesley sat in her parked car as the sun beat down on the almost empty street. She knew she should be concentrating on the job she was there to do but Malachy Doyle's words kept coming back to her. Sighing heavily she checked her cell phone, half expecting to see a message from Jake begging her for a lift. She knew there was a very good chance Jake Doyle would give the nurses and doctors the slip.
"Why Jake?" She shook her head as she spoke to an empty car. "Why do you always do it to me?"

"Rose!" Malachy walked into the kitchen to see Tinny sat eating her breakfast as she read the newspaper in front of her.
"Morning?"
"Tinny Doyle? Now you are eating breakfast? What time did you get up?"
"It's a Sunday. Traditionally a day of rest."
"Oh I forgot." Malachy shook his head. "A day of rest. You've been to England. I keep forgetting these new fangled ideas you come up with."
Tinny smiled and shovelled another spoon of cereal into her mouth. Malachy sighed heavily.
"Have you seen Rose?"
""NMHgm,"
"Do not talk with your mouth full."
"Sorry." Tinny swallowed hard. "You asked me a question when I was eating. No, I haven't seen her."
"Where's Des? Where's your mother?"
"Not a clue." Tinny sighed. "Is Uncle Jake going to be ok?"
"If he stays in the hospital he will be."
"And if he doesn't?"
"Then I will kill him." Tinny shook her head and smiled as her grandfather walked out of the kitchen.

"Oh come on." Des raised an eyebrow. "You really think I am going to fall for that again?"
"Des." Jake started. "You are a detective. I would not insult your intelligence by trying the same thing twice."
"Good."
"Des." Jake started as his friend stepped backwards. "Oh come on!"
"Malachy said you had to stay in the hospital."
"Now since when was my father a doctor? A nurse? Since when?"
"No." Des glanced at the wall. "No. Thing is, he is my boss and he is more frightening than you."
"Is that so?" Jake held his injured side as he got to his feet.
"Yeah." Des glanced back at the hospital corridor before turning and almost running from the room. Jake fell back on the bed cursing as he felt his side explode in pain.
"Thanks Dad." He mumbled. "Thank you very much."

Rose walked along the busy street aware that she was being followed. She kenw there was a fair chance the man following her knew of her involvment with Malachy and Doyle and Doyle. She glanced along the street before jogging across the road and heading towards the pub on the corner. She had to meet her step daughter and knew the meeting was not going to be a happy one.
