Chapter 58
Joey arrived at the square just over an hour later. His journey was awful, Max hadn't really told him anything solid. Just that Lauren was safe but he didn't know how long for. When he eventually got to the square he made a panicked dash over to Tyler's, hoping Whitney would be with him.
He knocked on the door, a shadow approaching from the other side. "Joey! What you doing here?"
"I don't have time to explain… is Whitney with you ?"
"ye she's in the living room, come in" Joey followed him "It's Joey"
"Joey ! what you doing here?" Whitney proclaimed.
"It's Lauren." He said not giving too much away "I need a really big favour from you. Can you look after Amber?"
"of course we can" she nodded "is everything alright?"
"Thank you! Everything you need is in here" he handed a large bag across to her "she can't have anything with nuts in. I don't know how long I'll be, I'll get the buggy from the car… it might be overnight is that ok ?" he passed Amber across to Whitney.
"That's fine" Tyler nodded "is everything ok with Lauren?"
"I hope so".
Joey fetched the buggy for them and then made the quick dash across the square to number 5. Max was waiting with the door open as soon as he got to the steps. "where is she?"
"upstairs… she's a right mess"
Joey to the rescue ? Or not ? Xxx
