Chapter 4
The young boy was getting ready for bed. Isobel and Richard were close by
being 'lovey dovey'. Richard romantically said to his Isobel "I
promise...as soon as my little princess settles you and me can...". He
kissed her. She replied "That sounds good!". "Goodnight" he said. "Can I
kiss her goodnight?" asked Isobel. "Sure" Richard agreed. "You can say
goodnight to Sebastian too then!" Isobel said. But when she'd gone Richard
answered "No! It's o.k, I'll pass on that!". Isobel was kissing Kathryn
goodnight as Richard entered their room. "Are you sure you'll be all right
on that armchair?" asked Isobel. "Yes!...now goodnight!" insisted Richard
as they kiss again.
The next morning, Isobel awoke to find Sebastian already awake and watching tv. Isobel smiled looking at him. She smiled that is until she saw pictures of Richard, herself and the kids on the tv screen. Sebastian had turned it onto the 'Merteuil' television channel. The announcer only said "Isobel and Richard were last spotted..." before Isobel ran to turn the television off. She rushed to Richard's room in her nightgown only. She swung open the door flustered and about to spill the beans, when she noticed Richard in Kathryn's bed. Isobel stopped in her tracks. "What's wrong?...you look flustered" he asked. "I thought you said you were sleeping on the armchair" she said. "She had a nightmare!...she said she couldn't sleep alone...What's wrong was are you so flustered???". "We're on the news!!" replied Isobel frantically. "Shit! Their not going down without a fight are they?" he said jumping out of bed in his boxer shorts and flinging on a dressing gown. His daughter awoke asking "What's going on?". Richard informed both Isobel and his daughter that they must go immediately because the police were after them, as expected. His daughter jumped out of bed but commented "I can't go now!...I only have pajamas on!". Richard replied condescendingly "I meant after you were dressed, you stupid girl!". He sighed at her stupidity. The girl started crying. "We don't have time for your blubbering!...hurry up!" he demanded. "There is no need to be so horrible to her, Richard!...she is just a child!...and this is our mess not theirs!" exclaimed Isobel. Richard gave a reluctant "sorry".
