Chapter 2:
All the children are sat around the kitchen table, whispering about what the meeting could be about.
'What's all this about?' Tee asked Carmen, 'There is only ever a house meeting about something REALLY important.'
'I don't know,' replied Carmen 'I hope it's nothing bad.'
'They probably want us to do more chores.' Frank said, rolling his eyes.
Everybody sighed, just as Mike, Gina and Tracy walked into the room.
'Well don't be too over-enthusiastic, you might tire yourselves out.' Said Tracy, everybody understood the sarcasm, apart from Gus, who just looked confused.
'Jeff's hungry.' Said Harry; 'He wants pizza.'
'Yes, well Jeff can have pizza once Mike has said what he needs to say.' Gina explained to Harry, who was too young to properly understand.
'Well spit it out then.' Said Johnny, who was starting to get irritated
'Ok,' Began Mike; 'The thing is, we have a new potential social worker visiting very soon. She has great experience and really understands you people. I would be very grateful if you could all be on your best behaviour for when she gets here.'
'Basically, what Mike is trying to say, is that today is not the day to be playing pranks.' Tracy put bluntly, looking directly at Frank, then Elektra.
'I don't play pranks without Liam.' Frank tried to reassure her, but Tracy was not convinced.
'And I haven't pulled of a decent prank in AGES.' Said Elektra with a smug grin on her face.
'You put salt in Tracy's tea just yesterday!' Carmen blurted out.
'That was you! I should have known' Sighed Tracy, glaring at Elektra.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
'That'll be her' Said Mike, rushing to the door.
'Can we have lunch now?' Johnny asked, implying that he really did not wish to wait any longer for his food. Tracy appeared to ignore his question.
'We'll deal with this later.' She said to Elektra
'Ooooh, I'm so scared.' It was obvious that Elektra was not in the least bit scared, so Tracy just sighed, rolled her eyes and left the room, leaving Johnny to get his own lunch. Everybody else had, by this point got extremely bored and already gone back to their rooms.
