Author's Note: By the way, I forgot to mention, the bold and italic writing like this. Is his dad speaking, Wally can't hear or see him, but he sort of watches over Wally.

White

Wally sighed, sat on the solid mattress.

"Get of me!" A voice called from outside his cell, the door opened and a boy in a dark hoodie was thrown in.

"Calm down there sunshine!" The policeman warned him and walked out, closing the door.

The boy pulled the hood from his head, showing his blonde hair. He kicked the door as they heard the bolt lock.

"Chad?" Wally asked, looking at the boy. Chad turned around. He smirked when he recognised Wally.

"Walsey? What did you do to get in here?" He asked, greeting his fellow offender.

"Broke into the Fulbright flats by the canal." Wally grunted, sitting down.

"That was you?" Chad asked, leaning against the post of the bed. "I think it was my fault you got caught. I made a little too much noise breaking in, someone must have called the police when they heard the smashing glass. Sorry about that bud."

Wally shrugged, wondering to himself how his life could get any better, stuck in a cold cell with a guy that he's hated since he was ten years old.

Have to be sociable though. He knew that if he acted dumb here then Chad would most likely knock him out with one punch, better stay on his good side.

"Don't see why they send us here instead of regular prison. This crap is just the same, with a different name and only people aged 13-19." Chad sighed irritably. Jumping on the top bed.

"Don't mind if I have top bunk right?"

He made himself comfortable, pulling a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his jumper.

He put one in his mouth and lit it up. Then offered one to Wally.

"No thanks." Wally shook his head, sat slumped on his bed. "How'd you get them in? Didn't they search you?"

"Yeah, but after you've been here so many times, you figure out ways to bring it stuff you want." Chad replied, taking a puff and blowing out the smoke.

"Visiting!" A policewoman called, unbolting the door.

"Is my mom here?" Chad called. "It's usually around now that she's realised I haven't come down for breakfast."

"I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry." Joanne told herself as she sat at the table waiting for Wally to come in.

He was led in and sat down opposite her.

"Aw, baby!" She wailed.

"Mom, you shouldn't come if it upsets you." Wally sighed softly as he sat down.

Joanne smiled, reaching over to hug Wally, but was stopped by the officer stood next to them.

"Oi! No contact, sorry." She sighed.

"Me and Joey made you a cake. I brought it in but they wouldn't let me give it to you." Joanne explained.

"They let the other people in with theirs, they just said that mine was too crap."

Wally chuckled as he watched his mom trying to brighten the place up.

"You'll do right!You will do right! My golden little Wallabee you are!" Joanne smiled. "And I know that I'm not the only girl in Cleveland who thinks that."

Wally sighed deeply. "Kuki's sixteen next week mom, it's our last year at school, this is the summer that they all talk about. Kuki'd be mad to wait."

A few weeks past, he lay in his bed reading the letters that he'd been sent.

One from Hoagie and Nigel, Joey, his mom. One from Kuki.

He opened each one and smiled, his smiled brightened when he got to Kuki's.

Dear Wally

Hope you're doing okay, sorry I'm not visiting, I just hate

being in that sort of place, I did try to go but burst into tears before

I even got to the gate.

We all really miss you. Even Abby's said how weird it was with you not

seeing you around at school or anything.

Fanny keeps bringing up the fact that it was her Dad's flat

that we broke into and that we had no right, that you got what you deserved.

God, I really want to hit her at times.

So you're out early right?

Good behaviour does get you somewhere, maybe you should try

it at school or at home,

wait, that wasn't funny, sorry.

All my love

Kuki x

"Wow, aren't you popular?" Chad said as he picked up some of Wally's letters, reading them.

Wally sighed and lay back into his bed, ignoring Chad's smart comments.

He stepped off the bus, he was back in Cleveland. In the bus stop, he saw Kuki, he smiled.

She gave a shy smile and stood up.

"Nigel and Hoagie have got a new job at a carwash." She said quickly. Then cursed herself when she saw Wally's confused look.

"I spent so long trying to choose a great first thing to say. That wasn't one of them."

Wally smiled and sat down next to her.

"Great to see you Kuki." They hugged tightly. "So, have you started anything new...with anyone?"

Kuki shook her head.

She leaned over and kissed him, after a moment of surprise, he kissed back.

When they broke apart, he laughed breathlessly.

"That's a welcome I wasn't expecting."

"This is nuts." Hoagie complained. "I can't believe we're in work the day that Wally gets out."

"Well, it is our first day!" Nigel reminded him. "Not exactly a good time to pull a sickie is it?"

"Right!" their boss Ray said as he came in and handed them a bucket each.

"The art of car washing is a much maligned and underestimated art. There is much more to it than sloshing on soap and water, waxing the bonnet, and rubbing on tyre black. I'm lying of course, there's the tyre black,wax, soap and water...off you go!"

The two watched as Ray walked off back into his office.

"Told you there wouldn't be a long training period." Nigel stated.

"He didn't even ask about my exam results." Hoagie said in astonishment. "I could be anyone, I could just run off with this...bucket."

Hoagie cheered in excitement as a car pulled up.

"Hey, our first customer!" He exclaimed.

"I want to see my face in it, and make it snappy girls." Chad said as he wound down his window.

"Oh, hi Chad," Hoagie stuttered as Chad got out of the car, followed by Fanny and Abby.

"Just think of it, the idiots left the gates unguarded when Wally was let out. I walked out easily." Chad grinned.

"Hey, look at the water monkeys, so this is your big job?" Abby chuckled as she joined to two boys.

"Why are you hanging around with Chad?" Nigel whispered.

"Ask Fanny." Abby sighed as she motioned to Fanny, who was messing around, flirting with Chad.

Chad whispered in Fanny's ear. She giggled and walked over to them as Chad walked into the shop.

"Why'd you bring him here when you knew it was our first day. That's so unfair!" Hoagie whined.

"I didn't know that, did I, oh no! I did!" Fanny smirked.

"Guys! Look who's back!" Kuki called as she and Wally came into the car wash.

"Hey!" Nigel and Hoagie cheered when they saw Wally.

"So Wally, how was prison?" Fanny asked bitterly.

"It wasn't prison, it was a young offenders institute!" Kuki replied, holding onto Wally's arm.

"Right, starter prison." Fanny sighed. Kuki glared at Fanny as she laughed at her evil comment.

"It it like in the movies, yeah, where you get beaten up by the other guys every morning, and Is there like, one guy who is top dog, he gets stuff smuggled in and you have to pay him and everyone calls him like 'king' or something?" Hoagie asked.

Wally looked at him cautiously.

"No."

"Shame." Hoagie sighed with embarrassment.

"You learn things." Wally explained.

"So did you do your exams in there?" Abby asked.

Wally shook his head.

"Well, I guess you don't need exams for every job in the world." He shrugged.

"That's true." Abby replied.

"Ta daa!" Her and Fanny called as they pointed to Nigel and Hoagie.

"We could get you a job with us if you wanted." Nigel suggested. "We could ask Ray."

"Yeah, you see, The art of car washing is a much maligned and underestimated..." Hoagie started, but was cut off by Chad.

"Alternatively, you could come and work with me...I'm setting up a little business venture." Chad said.

"No thanks Chad." Wally said. "I'm not getting into all that. What I learnt in there, is pride, so I could come out and say 'Hey, my name's Wallabee Beatles, EX young offender,' take me or leave me!"

Kuki smiled and hugged him close.

Chad scoffed and stormed out, closely followed by Fanny, Abby sighed and followed her to keep her out of trouble.

"Mr Fulbright, this is the junior sales manager of Cleveland alarms Ltd." The woman said as she introduced Wally to Mr. Fulbright, aka Mr. Boss.

Wally gulped, 'please don't recognise me!' he thought.

Son! This is the wrong path, bad follows bad!

Quit while you're ahead!

"Hi, I'm Wallabee...Beatles." Wally cringed as Mr. Fulbright took his hand and shook it.

"Beatles, that names familiar. And you look pretty familiar too. Do I know you?" He asked. "You hardly look old enough to be a sales manager!"

"Erm, I know your daughter, Fanny." Wally said. Proud of his clever excuse.

"Oh that's why I know you. How long have you been in this business?"

"Well, a few months, me and my mate left school and thought that the world of business was much more exciting." Wally explained truthfully.

"I never stayed at school either, never did me any harm. What is that accent? Australian?"

"Y...Yeah?" Wally held his breath.

"I had an Australian working for me a while ago, dumb as anything. You seem pretty bright though, so I'll leave you in the very capable hands of my assistant, Heather here." Mr. Fulbright said as he walked away.

"So is Mr. Fulbright planning to move here then?" Wally asked.

"No, this is a house for his secretary." Heather replied.

"He buys houses for his staff?" Wally asked in disbelief.

"It usually buys him something back." Heather replied in a suggestive tone and a smirk.

"Well anyway, I've looked around this property and it's real good, there's only one minor glitch, the alarm on the downstairs front, left window doen't work, but people discovering that are real small." Wally explained. showing the woman his clipboard.

"Right." the woman said.

"Another litlle glitch is that the utility room has no alarm sensor." Wally carried on.

"Okay, well, those are only minor, so we'll leave the alarm system, thanks for your help." Heather said, walking away.

A few days later, Wally was sat in his room, telling Chad the faults of another house that he had just examined.

"Cheers mate, told you this little business idea would work out." Chad chuckled down the phone.

No, no, no!

"What the hell are you doing?" Nigel asked.

"Yeah, you said that you didn't want to go house breaking like your dad." Hoagie added.

"Yeah, well read this." Wally said handing Nigel a letter.

I've had second thoughts about that alarm system

There was a minor break in on Thursday night, so maybe

you could call us and give us a quote.

Yours faithfully

Heather
