CASEY'S POV:

It was now Monday night, and after many warnings about what would happen if I didn't show up to be part of Ben's planned robbery later that evening, the texts had started…

"Case, dinner's ready." Ricky shouted from the kitchen

Switching my phone off, I made my way through to the kitchen and moved to the table, plastering a fake smile onto my face…

"You okay, bud?" she questioned "you've been locked in your room since you got home."

"Busy with homework," I admitted "something smells great, what're we having?"

"Carbonara." she replied as she set a dish on the table in front of us

"Where's Brax?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at her as she sat down opposite me

"He was called to the city for a late-night business meeting," she informed me "he's staying overnight and I'm pretty sure there'll be a poker game and drinks after the meeting."

I smiled at her weakly and began to plate up, doing the same for Aaron as Ricky did the same for Caitilyn…

Later that evening, I'd decided what I was going to do. 10:45pm came and I crept out of my bedroom window and made my way to meet Ben and whoever else was going to be involved in the robbery…

"Didn't think you were gonna come, Case…" Ben admitted as I reached them

"You need an inside man, don't you?" I questioned "someone who knows the alarm codes and where the money's kept, right?"

"Good boy!" he proclaimed, slapping my back "right, we ready, boys?"

The three other boys nodded their heads in agreement and the five of us made our way towards the surf club, Ben glancing around before pulling out a crowbar, bashing it against the lock of the surf club door before it gave way…

"Here we are!" Ben chuckled as he rubbed his hands together as we reached the top of the stairs "Case, sort the alarms…"

Inhaling and exhaling a breath, I took the crowbar from him and bashed the lock off, pulling the gates apart, swallowing a lump in my throat as the alarm started to go off…

"Switch it off, Case!" Ben proclaimed

Hurrying over to the alarm code, I pressed in four random digits, swallowing a lump in my throat as Ben looked across at me angrily…

"What's going on, Casey?" Ben asked

"Brax must've changed the alarm code…" I informed him

"What?" he questioned

As I was about to reply, the both of us froze as we heard police sirens…

"Scram!" Ben proclaimed, he and the other three hurrying down the stairs

RICKY'S POV:

I was awoken as I heard my phone start to ring as it lay on my bedside table. Reaching for it, I picked it up; sighing heavily as I saw it was an unknown number… "Hello?"

"Ricky, it's me, Casey…" he informed me

"Casey, what's going on? You're meant to be in bed…" I sighed

"Can you come to the police station please?" he questioned

"What?" I inquired, quickly sitting up in bed "why the hell are you there?"

"I'll explain when you get here. Please, Ric." he begged

"I'll be there in half-an-hour." I informed him

Hanging up the phone on Casey, I dialled Heath and Bianca's number…

"Hello? Ric, is something wrong?" Heath asked as he picked up the phone

"Your little brother's been arrested." I informed him

"What? Case? What for?" he questioned

"I don't know, but I need to go and get him from the police station." I explained "can you or B come over and watch Aaron and Katie whilst I go? I shouldn't be any more than an hour?"

"I'm on my way." he informed me

"Thanks, Heath." I sighed, both of us hanging up the phone

Oh dear, oh dear. So Casey's been arrested…
