"Did you just hear that?" Sambuca Kelly asked her friends Lauren Andrews and Michaela White as they stood and drank there drinks preparing for another round of dancing.

"Hear what?" Michela and Lauren replied in unison.

"That bang, it sounded like a gun"

"That vodka from earlier is definitely getting to your head" Michaela laughed as she pulled them back onto the dance floor.

"Yeah hang on Sam"

"Tom i don't suppose you've seen Eddie anywhere?"

"No why"

He went outside about 15 minutes ago talking to Michael; you don't think something's happened?" Rachel replied slightly worried.

"I take it your on about Michael his son"

"Yeah"

"Don't worry then Rachel you know what he's like when it goes to Michael" Tom smiled reassuringly

"Sam just stand here you don't have to go all the way outside" Lauren moaned

"Yer i do it's not exactly fresh air in ere is it" Sam replied pushing the main door open slightly.
