The following morning Jill and Gordon were sat at the kitchen table having their breakfast and discussing yesterday, Ash came down the stairs and walked into the kitchen
"Morning" said Ash
"Morning" replied Jill and Gordon
"Before you say anything, I'm sorry about last night and the way I was it wasn't very helpful" said Ash
"About that we are sorry too" replied Jill
"So did she tell you much" asked Ash
"What she has told us has been the same as you so far, but she doesn't like answering about what happened in mum's office" replied Gordon
"So what now" asked Ash
"Well are you happy to be here while she's here today" asked Jill
"Yeah, but would it be better if I wasn't here" replied Ash
"I don't know what do you think Gordon" asked Jill
"Well it might be better if you were not here to start off with" said Gordon picking up the paper
That was the end of the conversation. Ash had finished her breakfast and had gone back upstairs to get ready and Jill was tidying away their breakfast things.
It was just after ten in the morning, Jill was busy doing housework, Gordon was in the office doing paperwork. Ash had just come downstairs to sit outside and read her book and the others were still not up yet. When there was a knock at the door
"I'll get it" shouted Ash moving towards the door she opened the door
"Hello" said Ash
"Who is it" asked Gordon poking his head around the office door
"Morning Gordon" said Harold
"Morning" replied Gordon
"How are you this morning young lady" asked Bunty following Harold in
"I'm fine Nan, how are you" replied Ash
"I'm fine thank you" replied Bunty
"Why don't you go through" said Gordon pointing towards the front room to Bunty and Harold
"Can you go and get your mother" he added to Ash
"Yes" replied Ash leaving them and going upstairs she knocked on her parents' bedroom door
"Come in" said Jill
"Nan and Grandad are here" said Ash
"Okay, I'll be down in a second can you put the kettle on please" replied Jill,
Ash nodded and went back downstairs she went to the front room
"Mum will be down in a second can I get you a drink" said Ash
"A coffee would be lovely" said Bunty
"Grandad" asked Ash
"A cup of tea please" replied Harold
"Dad" asked Ash
"Tea please" replied Gordon
Jill was just coming down the stairs when Ash left the front room
"Mum would you like a drink" asked Ash
"I'll have a coffee please, I'll give you a hand in a minute" replied Jill
"Morning" Jill said entering the front room
"Morning" replied Bunty and Harold
"So what's been going on" asked Bunty getting straight to the point
Jill looked at Gordon and then sat down next to him
"Where to start" said Jill
"Well I suppose" said Gordon thinking about it
At that moment Ash came through the door carrying a tray full of drinks Jill got up and took the tray from her
"Thanks sweetheart" Jill said while putting the tray down
"I'll leave you to it" said Ash going back towards the door
Jill and Gordon waited until they heard Ash going up the stairs and then they told Bunty and Harold everything that they had found out that had happened all the way up until what had happened yesterday.
Harold and Bunty had sat there in silence for the last hour and a half listening trying to take in everything Jill and Gordon were saying
Ash came down the stairs and into the front room
"Sorry to interrupt but I'm going now. What time do you want me back" said Ash
"Just after two, that should give us enough time" replied Gordon
"Where are you going" asked Jill
"I don't know I was just going to go for a walk and see where I end up" replied Ash
Bunty could see the panic in Jill's eyes
"Your Grandad and I were going to go shopping and have a spot of lunch out you could come with us" said Bunty
Ash looked at Jill and saw the panic go from her eyes
"Are you sure you want me" said Ash
"Yes" said Harold
"Okay, I'll just go and get my bag" said Ash running back up the stairs and getting her bag
"Thanks Mum, Dad" said Jill
"Our pleasure" replied Harold
"Just promise to get this sorted once and for all" added Bunty
"Promise" replied Gordon
Ash came bounding down the stairs trying to hide the pain she was in
"Ready" asked Bunty
"Ready" replied Ash
"Bye Mum, Dad" added Ash giving them both a peck on the cheek
"Bye and be good" replied Jill
"Bye" added Gordon
