Chapter Four

Freddie ran a hand through his hair, This car was practically falling apart. "Stressed Fred?" Joe passed him a spanner.

"It's this bloody car, I can find the problem" He almost stamped his foot. Him, Freddie Roscoe. Stamping a foot. "I know what'll cheer ya up" Joe grinned, "Oh no" "A joke" "Please, god...No".

Joe was known for his terrible jokes and worse, his nature to laugh at them Afterwards. "Okay, Ready Fred? A pair of jump leads walk into a pub, The landlord says "I'll serve you a drink but don't start anything". Freddie watched on in shame as Joe chuckled.

"Okay, what about this...The police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off".

Freddie chuckled and shook his head, "Thats a good one" he said. His phone vibrated, 'I've been waiting long enough Fred, I want my money tomorrow at 12"

Freddie swallowed and ignored it, "I have another Joke" Joe snatched the spanner. "Kill me now" Freddie mumbled.

Thankfully, Ziggy had ran into the garage. "I'm a free man! Katie is taking the kids for the day and I am free" Ziggy high fived the wall.

"Whatever Fred, just don't go cheating on Katie with the first bird that walks in" Joe patted his shoulder. "I won't...Is that your new ringtone Fred?" Freddie smirked. "Well if it's coming from my phone, take a guess" he left quickly.

"Hello?" "Roscoe! Long time no see" Freddie moaned, "Wyatt" "Thats right, so you got me the money?" "Look, I can't get my-" "You know what happens when people who owe me don't pay up" Wyatt snarled down the phone.

"You threatening me?" "Yes Fred, I am...and your family, what about your mum? Your nephews and neices? Joe?" "I swear to god, if you hurt any of them-" "2 hours, get the money or they'll be seeing me soon".

Freddie cursed as Wyatt put the phone down. This family had just got back on its feet, He'd never seen Jason and Sandy as happy before, And Robbie was actually in Uni. And if anything happened to Amelia, Charlie, Allie, Maddie or Lily, It would tear the family apart.

"Freddie! Come on!" Joe yelled, Freddie swallowed and turned the other way.

Sandy smiled, she watched Jason and Robbie compare notes and copy them down neatly in their books. How had Jason converted Robbie into studying?

"You almost done boys?" "One more page of notes" Jason barely looked up. Sandy set two cups of tea on the coffee table, her living room floor was now scattered with notes, books and paper.

"Your tidying this mess up after" she told them.

The door knocked, Sandy walked out and opened it (She had made Joe paint the door a glossy red). A tall muscular man, quite handsome really, stood there.

His hair was short and spiked, "Hello, Miss Roscoe is it" he held out his hand. Sandy smiled and shook it, "Yes" "I'm Logan Wyatt, A friend of Freddie's...Can you point me in the direction of the garage please?"

"Of course, ya don't get get people with manners like you nowadays. The garage is down the road, left, just by the church" "Thanks, Can you tell Freddie I dropped by?" Sandy nodded.

She closed the door as he left, "Mum? Who was it?" Jason called. "A friend of Freddie's, are you done yet honey?" "Yeah".

Robbie felt his phone vibrate, It was Charlie. 'Mums cancer surgery went well! She's clear! We're having champagne at mine, come down x Why isn't Jase answering his phone?"

Robbie grinned, "Jase, Charlie's mum ain't got cancer, the surgery worked" "Really?" "Yeah, come on, their having a party". Jason jumped up and grabbed his jacket.

Sandy eyed the suspiciously, "If one of you comes back drunk...Your not to old to get whacked up the bum" Jason suppressed a smirk.

"He won't" Robbie ran out, "I meant you too!" "Didn't hear that!" Robbie slammed the door.

Sandy answered the house phone, "Hello?" "Hi Sandy" "Ste? Where are ya?" "Me and Brendan are looking around a flat, it's only a couple of streets away" "Aw good, Tell Brendan he can pop around for a cuppa" "Haha, I'm sure he'd like that".

"So what's this flat like hun?" Sandy leaned back and started chatting. Ste had become a close friend, a very close friend. He was just a little older than Freddie, 25.

"I painted my kitchen scandalous scarlet, course the boys didn't-" Sandy was cut off when her front window shattered. Ste heard her scream.

"Sandy? Sandy? Sandy are you there? Sandy?" Ste watched as Brendan frowned. "Brendan, somethings happened" Ste said worriedly.

"Stay here, Talk on the phone" Brendan flew from the flat.

Sandy shook the glass that had rained over her, out of her hair. "Mum?" Jason and Robbie stood gaping, Jason helped her up while Robbie looked carefully out the window.

"Robbie!" Sandy screamed as the other window shattered, Robbie ducked and closed his eyes as shattered chips of glass rained down on his head.

Two solid bricks had dented the floor. Sandy grabbed Robbie back, Brendan appeared in the doorway. "Sandy? You okay?" he rushed forward and looked from the shattered window.

"Yes, thanks Brendan...Is anyone there?" Sandy didn't dare look out the window. "No, Stevens still on the phone", Brendan picked it up.

"No, Steven...their fine, Sandy and the kids are fine". "Kids?" Jason and Robbie said in unison, "Your under 20, your kids". Jason and Robbie didn't look happy about that.

Brendan put the phone down, "You all okay?" "Yeah, thanks Bren...I'll call Joe" Sandy smiled. She saw Brendan out, "So boys, how was the party?" Sandy kept the fear in her voice well hidden.

Robbie filled in the details, not really feeling talkative, Jason sat next to his mum on the sofa.
