Chapter Two

Ste had suppressed a gag at Sandy's version of Beef Bourguingnon for tea the other day, so insisted he would cook tonight.

"Ya sure Ste?" Sandy frowned. Ste smirked at Jason and Robbie behind her, silently begging him with their hands and almost on their knees to cook.

"Yeah, Jason and Robbie can go to the shop" Ste grabbed some paper. Robbie glared, he didn't want to go out but if it would save him from his mums god awful cooking, it was a good deal.

Jason took the list and Sandy gave him the money, Ste watched him drag Robbie out of the house.

"Cheer up Rob" Jason said, "Whatever, Can we buy some cigarettes?" Jason stopped in his tracks. "You've started smoking?" "Well nah sherlock!" Robbie rolled his eyes. "Mum'll kill ya" "I'm 18, I can do what I want". Jason sighed, Since turning 18, Robbie had turned pretty cocky and did whatever he wanted.

"Yeah but Do you kn-" Jason was cut off by someone knocking into him. Jason winced, it had knocked his shoulder. "Watch where your going" the man bit back.

Jason grabbed Robbie's arm. "Who do ya think your talking too?" he snarled, The man walked upto him. "Go play with your toy cars kid" be flicked Robbie's chin.

Jason pulled him back again, this man was riling him up bad. "Sorry" Jason said and realised he dropped the list, Jason mentally cursed when be saw it in the mans hand.

The man caught him looking at it, he smirked and looked at the list. "Ingredients for a pizza, Am I right or, Am I right" The man stroked his moustache quickly.

"Yeah, A family friend is making it" Jason slowly took the list away. "I knew someone who made pizzas, Name was Ste" The man shrugged, Jason frowned as the mans eyes flickered.

"You know Ste? Ste Hay?" Jason asked. The man's eyes widened and he grabbed Jason's arm, Robbie ripped it off his twin and narrowed his eyes.

"Whats it to you?" he snapped. "I'm an old friend, my names Brendan. Brendan Brady".

Brendan looked at the two kids in front of him, they couldn't be older than 17-18. How did they know Ste? They where in London (Where he was looking for a business to buy).

"Is Ste here?" Brendan asked, "Ummm" Jason didn't know what to say. "Well?" he growled, "I..." "Just answer the question!" Brendan gripped both Jason's arms.

"OI!" Brendan felt someones hand collide with his cheek. "Cool it Joe" they boy he grabbed said, Brendan lunged. He found himself fighting on a pavement with a dark haired bloke.

Damn. What if they called the police? He'd just got out of prison after a helpful source managed to trick and worm himself into the justice system and get him released after a few years in the dog house.

"Stop!" Jason pulled them apart, Robbie was videoing it on his phone.

"Who the hell do you think your pushing? You like picking on kids?" Joe snarled. Brendan shook his head, Ste's face just kept hitting him.

He needed time. He needed space, Brendan turned and walked away. Joe stared after the man, "Is he delirious?" he frowned. "I guess so" Jason shrugged.

"You okay?" "Oh, yeah" Robbie watched Joe clap Jason on the back. "See ya later" Jason turned back to Robbie, "Thats something you don't see everyday". Robbie snorted.

Ste spread the Tomato puree on the base, Gavin watched him. "You spend too much time in the kitchen Ste" he walked over, Ste smiled and carried on topping it with mature cheddar cheese.

"If you want my great cooking skills, you'll have to deal with it" Ste glanced up at him. Gavin didn't see the funny side, "Last time I checked Ste, you didn't have any skills" he snarled coldly.

Ste looked down, concentrating on his Pizza again. "Go on Ste, make the pizza...hope it makes them choke" Ste looked up. "Don't say that" "Why?...oh, you think their your family?"

Gavin laughed, "Their not your family Ste, I doubt they truly like you...Who would? I stay out of pity, your a skinny, useless-" Ste swallowed as Gavin gripped his arm.

It would leave bruises. "And I have the right too-" "Whats going on?" Gavin turned to see a frowning Jason in the door. Seconds of silence went by before Gavin grabbed his coat, "Lovers tiff, not that's it your business kid" he shoved past Jason.

Ste cracked under Jason's stare and turned back to his pizza, "Ste?" "Yeah?" "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

Jason chose the right words. "It's just, Gavin seemed-" "Just drop it, I said I'm fine, what else do you want?" Ste snapped. Jason thought about saying something else but Robbie walked in.

Ste sighed when he saw them leave, he didn't mean to be rude but he didn't need Jason finding anything out.
