"Beth, Max, Sally, Jo, Will….GET UP". All of them flinched at the sound of their inspector's voice.
"Why?". Sally called back.
"because you want to keep your job". Will called up to her.
"shut it you". Sally called down. The slamming of Max/Beth's bedroom door shut them both up, "wow that was bitchy". Sally called.
"I know. Ouch Beth". Beth rolled her eyes at Max before getting comfortable again under their sheets.
"we should probably get up". Max said to the ceiling.
"yeah we probably should". Neither of them making any move to get up.
"UP, UP, UP , UP , UP". Gina shouted coming up each flight of stairs.
Beth, Will and Sally simultaneously groaned. Whilst Max and Jo actually got up.

"whilst we are here I think it best that we come up with a rotar method for household chores. So that everything is shared equally and get's done, here is one devised. If you don't like it feel free to change it within the next twenty four hours". Gina smiled at them handing them each a piece of paper.
"this looks fine". Max went to hand his back. Earning himself a glare from Beth.
"No you keep, so that's settled this is the new chore rotor, and since we all have the day off we can start now". Gina smiled before going to get dressed.
"why the hell did you agree to that?" Beth turned to vent her frustration at Max.
"there was no point in arguing plus ours weren't that bad". Max reasoned.
"No but it means we have to go shopping today". Beth glared at him.
"so from what I hear you love shopping". Max was a match for Beth's rants.
"I do but food shopping. It takes forever is extremely dull and you come out forgetting to buy whatever it was you went in for". Beth sat back and remised about all her bad food shopping trips to Sainsbury's
"well if that's the attitude you've got I'm not surprised it dull and boring". Max smiled before grabbing half a slice of toast and heading back upstairs.
"did he just?". Beth looked scandalized as she looked from where Max was sat to his retreating back going up the stairs.
"yep". Jo raised an eyebrow at Beth, as she hurried out of the kitchen to no doubt continue her debate with Max.
"good times". Will smirked drinking his coffee.
"and it's only the first day". Jo laughed.

"what do we actually need?". Max slipped the pound coin into the trolley and began manoeuvring it towards the rotating doors.
"everything I'm guessing the only thing they had this morning was the basics". Beth sighed as they entered the supermarket.
"right". Max rolled his eyes at her back immediately regretting it when she caught him.
"Don't think I didn't see that". Beth warned.
"I wouldn't doubt it". Max smiled back.
"can we please just get this over with a.s.a.p". Beth sighed as she started putting fruit into the trolley.
"why do you hate shopping so much, and don't say because it's dull and boring". Max knew Beth better then she first thought.
"I had a traumatic experience as a child". Beth pouted as she finally walked beside Max.
"and you have never got over it?". Max was genuinely concerned something about the brunette let him lower his defences without him even realising it.
"no". Beth sighed once more adding food to the trolley.
"aww". Max did something no-one expected and pulled her into his side. Beth only smiled and put her arm around his waist. Max surprised himself by realising just how comfortable he was with the new position. Beth giggled breaking him for his trance.
"what?". Max questioned.
"who knew Max Carter had a heart". Beth smiled playfully
"now you do". Max smiled back.

"Jo" Sally shouted from the kitchen.
"Yeah". Jo hollered back.
"do you know where Beth and Max are?". Jo wandered into the kitchen.
"no idea last I saw of them Beth was winging about him agreeing that they would do
this week's shopping and that was about an hour and a half ago". Jo picked up a
packet of crisps.
"I hope there back soon I have tonnes to do before we start dinner". Jo looked at her curiously
"so go do them". Sally looked confused for a second.
"no I meant preparing the food". Jo nodded at her.
"well I guess I could call them". Jo took out her phone.
"Hey where are you?, oh, ok right bye". Jo smiled at Sally. "there just at the checkout they'll be about half an hour tops". Sally sighed as she sunk into a kitchen chair.
"yay". Jo smiled at the effort of mock celebration.
"so what's wrong?". Jo flicked the switch on the kettle.
"nothing". Sally sighed again.
"really I'm not stupid Sally". Sally looked up and smiled.
"I just miss work I guess". Sally went to get the cups.
"come on you don't expect me to believe that do you". Jo stood near to her.
"no". Sally smiled and poured the tea.
"so are you going to tell me?". Jo smiled at her.
"Nope". Jo laughed at little a least she was been honest but it didn't stop her been worried.
