Anything for charity
Chapter 3
Wednesday
It was mid-day and the carwash was underway and they had already raised more than they expected to. There were 5 different groups washing cars, the same groups they were in on Monday, and they were all in different places around Sunhill and just outside.
"Ahh no turn it off!" Sam stood soaked while Gary ran to turn Phil's hose off.
"Sorry Sam."
"That's ok, just watch what you do with that thing." She laughed it off and threw a foamy sponge at him, narrowly missing his head as he dodged it.
"Hey!"
"Well it didn't hit you did it?! I'm going to be soaked for the rest of the day."
"Can we just get this car washed please?!"
"Ok Suzie! Only having a bit of fun." Phil mocked. "You should try it sometime." This time Phil had to dodge a sponge coming from Suzie and it hit Gary's cheek.
"Ok let's pack up now and go get dried off." Sam suggested.
"I'm all for that." Suzie said wiping the suds from her arms.
"Right let's go then." Phil dropped the hose.
"Oh… we didn't say you were coming." Phil grabbed Sam round the waist while she tried to run away from him.
"Oh no?"
"No get off of me." She laughed as she tried to get away from him. They both toppled over onto the ground and knocked over a bucket and got covered in soapy water.
"You lot are acting like kids. Can we just go now?" Suzie was not impressed.
When the got back to the station, they were surprised to find that Jo, Diane, Stuart and Mickey were already back.
"What are you guys doing back so early? You were on the other side of town." Suzie was still grumpy.
"Someone forgot the soap." Jo shot a glare in Stuart's direction.
"Oh ok, better watch out for the Super then." Phil laughed.
"So how much did you raise then?"
"Not quite sure. More than our target, but we haven't counted it all yet." Sam replied before Phil had a chance.
"Let's all go get dried off before the others get back."
When they were all dry, they sat down in CID with coffee and chatted about the mystery event the next day.
"So what does everyone think then? About tomorrow?" Jo asked
"I'm thinking of throwing a sickie." Phil replied before receiving a playful slap on the arm from Sam. "What?"
"You can't just go and leave us here. If we have to go through it then so do you." Sam answered.
"Well you lot pull a sickie too."
"And that's not going to be suspicious if all of us don't turn up?" Stuart snapped.
"Oh Stuart stop it he's just having some fun."
Just then all of the other groups walked in.
"Ah there you are. We were beginning to wonder where you were." John Heaton's voice boomed through the room. "Right sit down everyone. I need to speak to you."
"Sir." They replied as chairs scraped the floor and they all sat down.
"I know that you all want to know what tomorrow is about…" he paused. "But I'm not going to tell you now. I'll tell you tomorrow morning." A sequence of groans wafted around the room. "So to compensate for that, you won't actually have to do any work tomorrow even before the event."
He watched as the faces in the room brightened up.
"I will however be making a note of anyone that doesn't turn up and if they don't have a valid and permissible reason, they will be fired." He smiled as the faces turned to shock.
Right, this is where I need you're help. My friend suggested that the mystery event should be a human auction, but I think something like that has already been done, so she suggested a human raffle.
Not quite sure about it but let me know and I will decide. If you review I will ud soon. Luv Sam xxx
