Chapter 6

Mickey groaned as the alarm went off, he glimpsed at the clock and saw that it was 6:45, he really had to hurry if he was to be at work by 7:30. He hauled himself out of bed and pulled on his clothes from yesterday. Stumbling out of the room he started to shout.

"Jamie, time to get up, c'mon bro, wakey, wakey!" Mickey smirked as he heard his brother moaning, then remembered his time problem and ran down the stairs. Once in the tiny kitchen he rummaged through the cupboards in an attempt to find something edible to eat.

"What's the time Mick?" Mickey turned around to see a disgruntled brother standing in the doorway, he smiled cheerfully.

"About ten to seven."

"I am goin' to kill you, why'd you wake me up?"

"Well, I need to go to work, an' I need you to come wiv me"

"D'you want me to hold your hand as well or are you too old for that?" Mickey sniggered at his brother's sarcasm, then became serious again.

"Actually, my boss wants to meet you."

"Your boss?"

"Yep, his name is DCI Jack Meadows and considering that I've only known him one day you need to be nice."

"Why does he want to meet me?" Mickey shrugged; he'd been asking himself the very same question for most of the night.

"Don't know, anyway, c'mon, we've got to pick up breakfast on the way, 'cause I haven't got anything edible in the house, how does a bacon sarnie sound to you?"

"Like heaven." Mickey grinned.

"Bet ya I can pull with the first bird we see!"

"Bet you can't."
