The Bill: Corruption
Chapter 12: The Secret's Out.
They finish off there work in silence and
all meet in the car park when ready to go. They decide to all take Marion's car and so jump in
ready to go. Stephen does a quick check before setting off. Don't
wanna end up stranded again. he thinks as they
set off. Less than 15 minutes later they arive at the club.
"It might be best to check into the hotel first to make sure they've got
some rooms," suggests Marion.
"Umm, good idea Mar," replies Stephen.
They check with the B&B to see if there are any vacancies before going next
door to the wine bar.
"What was you looking for with the car?" asked John.
"Any faults or broken pipes or anything. Didn't
wanna get stranded. One nights enough thanks," answers
Stephen.
"Tell me about it," adds Marion.
"So that's why you was late this morning hey Gov?" questions Claire.
"Yes and now you understand why i was half
asleep on the phone. The AA didn't come out till 1am. They said they
couldn't fix it so I stayed the night in a hotel over the road, luckily I knew
the owner so he let me stay for free. I would've got a taxi but i didn't have enough cash on me. buses
only run during the day so i caught the bus of the
morning when you woke me up."
"You should have told me i would have come and
picked you up."
That's exactly why i didn't tell you. "i didn't want to
bother you." More like i didn't want you to
know i wasn't alone.
the four kept talking into the early hours of the morning when the wine bar
closed. They then when into the B&B to get some sleep.
"So how are we going to divide this up then? Who's with me?"
asked Stephen.
After a long debate they all decided that Claire and John should share a room,
and Stephen and Marion should share a room. They all settled in and soon
drifted off to sleep.
