Chapter 10
"What the hell's going on" Joe shouted with a ton of aggression in his voice. Freddie's heart sank he knew he was in trouble now. "It wasn't what it looked like Joe honest" Lindsey said in a panicked tone. "I walk in to find my wife kissing my brother, if that isn't what it was then what was it" Joe spat. Getting angrier and angrier by the second. "It was a mistake Joe I'm sorry" Freddie said making no eye contact with Joe what so ever. Freddie obviously was telling Joe a lie as that kiss was one of the best things to ever happen to him.
"Get out of my sight Freddie; I want to speak to Lindsey alone." Joe retorted giving him a disgusted look. Freddie gave Lindsey an apologetic look said nothing and left the canteen; He had not only gotten himself into trouble Lindsey was now the one to blame too. Freddie thought Joe had taken it surprisingly well, in Joe's younger days he would have ripped Freddie's head off but today he was different. Freddie went back to Robbie's cubicle to find it empty, His stuff was still there but the bed was empty.
Freddie assumed that he had either discharged himself or he had been discharged, he wanted to make sure so he went and asked at the reception. "Hello, Has Robert Roscoe been discharged please" Freddie politely asked the young woman on reception. The receptionist quickly typed Robbie's name into the computer, she frowned at the screen a little and began to speak in a worried tone. "I'm afraid not sir, he appears to have gone missing. He hasn't been booked in for any more tests" Freddie couldn't believe what he had just been told.
"He was here not half an hour ago" Freddie said as he put his hand to forehead in hope of finding a solution. "I will alert security, any ideas of where he could have gone Mr Roscoe" she offered. Freddie slipped his phone out immediately phoning Jason. "Thanks' for your help I'll sort it" Freddie rushed out of the hospital and waited for Jason to pick up his call. After trying to call him twice Freddie was about to give up when he saw two figures standing on the roof and heard raised voices in the distance.
Freddie took a closer look and realised that it was in fact Robbie and Finn scuffling on the roof. He needed to act fast as one of them could end up over the edge. Freddie ran as fast as he could passing the canteen on the way hoping to gain some support from both Lindsey and Joe. Luck was on his side as Joe and Lindsey were still sat at the table talking, He approached the table stopping quickly trying to catch his breath.
"Joe, Lindsey, you need to come quick. Finn and Robbie are up on the roof one of them could end up over the edge" Freddie shouted not caring how loud he was sounding. "What" Lindsey gasped, she quickly got up and Joe followed on pretty quickly. They each made their way up to the steps at the back of the hospital leading up to the roof, Joe ran up first. "Joe's fuming you know Fred" Lindsey announced as they made their way up the steps. He nodded "I gathered he would be, we need to sort it out but no offense Linds but Robbie is the priority right now" he said hating how rude he sounded.
"Of course yeah you're right" Lindsey said trying to hide some sort of disappointment in her voice. Once up on the roof they found Joe holding Finn in a headlock. Lindsey saw Finn beginning to struggle for breath "Joe is that really necessary" Lindsey called hoping that her husband would listen to her. Freddie was by Robbie's side making sure he was okay." Stay here" Freddie hissed making his way over to Joe and Lindsey. "Joe get off him" Lindsey pleaded, Joe dropped him like a heavy sack of potatoes, Finn's eyes closed as he made contact with the ground surging everyone into a wave of panic, Joe's dark past had seemed to make another appearance. Lindsey and Freddie rushed to Finn's aid hoping to help the unconscious teen. Joe fled the scene leaving Robbie stood alone. Freddie looked at Lindsey in horror as she shook her head in disbelief.
