Robbie stopped outside of Price Slice suddenly after hearing both Freddie and Lindsey panicking as they ran out of the flat. He quickly ran over to the pair, stopping in front of them to stop them from going anywhere.
"What's happened? Why are you fretting?" Robbie asked, looking up at his older brother before at Lindsey.
"It's Joe, the police have spotted them about to board a ferry for France." Freddie spoke, glancing around the village.
"And you're just going to go and follow the police? Why don't you just let them do their job?"
"Because they're useless. Look, I'm sorry Rob but we've really got to go." Lindsey said in a panic, Freddie taking her hand as they ran down to the garage to get the car.
Robbie sighed and pulled his phone out of his pocket, moving down into the alleyway and scrolling through his contacts to find Joe's number.
'The police are on their way. I'm sorry but this is wrong, you can't JJ away from his mum, he needs her.'
'Are you kidding me? You were supposed to help me with this! Not be on their side.'
'I know and I'm sorry but it has to be this way. How would you feel if Lindsey took JJ away from you?'
And with that, he never got a reply. He shoved his phone into his pocket aswell as his hands and made his way back to the house.
Joe looked around, tapping his hand impatiently on the steering wheel. He glanced back at JJ who was clearly upset and disorientated at how fast he had to be moved from place to place. Joe tried soothing him from the front, handing him another fluffy toy.
"JJ, come on! Please just stop crying." Joe said, tired from how he wouldn't calm down.
Turning around to hear the sirens from the police he cars, he began to panic. The queue for the ferry meant there was no way he could get out of this. As cars moved aside for Police cars to block the way, Joe grabbed the chance to get past and onto the boat but had to slam on the breaks just as the police pulled infront of him and also, Freddie and Lindsey arrived. This was it, he knew he was going to lose his son. All officers jumped out of their cars and ran over to Joe's car, opening the door as he stepped out willingly whilst the others opened the back door to get JJ. Lindsey climbed out of the car and glanced over to Freddie who also got out, nodding gently as the two of them ran over to where the officers were.
"That's my baby!" Lindsey said in a panic, the officer handing JJ to her carefully as she held him close, letting out a sigh of relief. "I love you so much." She whispered, wiping away a lone tear from her cheek as she placed a kiss onto his head.
"Joseph Roscoe, I'm arresting you for the attempted abduction of Joe'Junior Roscoe. You may not say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you may later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?" The officer spoke, placing the handcuffs on his wrists.
"I was doing it to keep him safe, you've gotta believe me! My son isn't safe with Freddie!" Joe fretted, trying to escape the grasp of the police.
"You're going to get everything you deserve!" Freddie yelled, shaking his head as he watched Joe.
"He's safe, he's okay." Lindsey whispered again, Freddie pulling her into a hug and placing a kiss onto her head whilst holding her close.
"Don't worry, Joe can't ever get to us again." He said quietly, glaring at Joe who was being put into the police car.
"They're going to find out about everything, Freddie! They're going to get you." Joe shouted angrily, the car door being slammed shut which made it impossible for him to speak anymore.
Lindsey wiped away the mascara stained tear lines from her face and turned to look at the police car that was driving off, letting out a sigh of relief. Maybe this was it, maybe he'd be out of their lives for good.
