Thank you to Sophie and guest for reviewing, it always means so much :)
Prompted by Sophie- Robbie does something stupid and ends up in a dangerous situation and needs help from his brothers.
Chapter 22- that's what brothers are for:
Trevor Royal was furious. Robbie Roscoe was a dead man. Why did he think it was okay to grass Trevor up to the police, especially as he was being Ben's little suck up. Trevor was going to make Robbie pay, he would make sure of it.
Robbie got himself ready and checked himself out in the mirror; smiling cheekily. It was fresh start for him, he wasn't going to get involved with any of Trevor's dodgy deals, not just for his sake but for his family's sake. Whenever he got involved in a scam, he would always put his family in danger so Robbie knew he had to stop.
Trevor had set his plan in place for Robbie. He was going to bargain with him, Robbie sells some stuff and then his reward is cash, simple. Or so that's what Robbie would think. What was really going to happen was that Trevor was going to give Robbie the wrong drugs, which would make the receiver angry and start to play nasty with Robbie, then things would heat up.
"Morning", Robbie said cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen. "Morning", Jason replied sleepily from where he was sitting. "You at work today?" Robbie asked. "No, finally got a day off", Jason commented. Robbie smirked, he knew his brother wanted a day off, as much as he loved being a police officer. "Maybe we could do something", Robbie suggested.
Jason scoffed, "what do you mean, do something?" Robbie smiled at his brother's confusion. "I mean we could watch a movie or play Xbox all day", Robbie said sounding happy at the idea of Xbox. "Are you feeling okay?" Jason asked trying to work out why his brother was all of a sudden being so nice. "Yes Jason I'm fine, so what do you wanna do then?" Jason thought, to be honest he wanted to do both so that's what he settled on.
"I wanna do both, if we've got the time for it", Jason and Robbie smiled. "Course we have", he replied. "Right I'm gonna go down to price slice get some snacks, you set up the DVD player", Robbie said before grabbing his phone and jacket to leave the house. "Oh and don't go picking any baby films yeah", he said with a cheeky grin on his face and Jason laughed, sarcastically.
Robbie made his way through the village happy that him and Jason were finally going to get to spend some time together. Since they'd moved to Hollyoaks, Robbie had sort moved away from Jason. He'd figured this was because they were very different people, Jason had job on the right side of the law; Robbie had a job on the wrong side of the law.
Trevor watched from the loft balcony, seeing Robbie go into price slice he knew his plan would soon be in action. He made his way down the steps and out into the street. He walked a couple of steps until he came to the alley, and he hid in there. Inside price slice Robbie was getting 4 cans of beer, crisps, sweets and chocolate. He paid the money and left the shop carrying his bag of goodies.
As he walked out Robbie had only made it a few steps when he felt his arm being grabbed from the alley. He dropped his bag on the ground and before he had a chance to react he was pinned up against the wall coming face to face with Trevor. "What do you want?" Robbie spat. "I have a little job for you Roscoe" Trevor said pulling a small package out his jacket and placing it in Robbie's hand.
"Deliver this to this address here", he said handing Robbie a small note with the address on it. "Now." Robbie sighed, "ah Trevor I kinda can't do it now." Trevor raised an eyebrow. "You mean your to busy to help out your good friend Trevor", he said pretending to be sad, mockingly.
Robbie thought to himself, he knew he didn't have a way out of this, he had to do it. It wouldn't take him long and if Jason asked where he'd been he would just say that he met some fit girl and started talking to her. "Okay, okay, I'll do it", Robbie said giving in. Yes okay he'd promised that he wouldn't get involved, but one time wouldn't hurt, would it?
Jason had set up the DVD player, he'd picked the avengers, as he knew both him and Robbie liked it. Jason sat back on the sofa and sighed. He looked at the clock and realised that Robbie had been gone for at least half an hour, maybe more; that seemed way to long just to go to price slice.
Robbie walked down the street to the address that Trevor had given to him. All he had to was deliver the package, get the cash and then leave; simple. He felt his phone buzz in his pocket, he reached in and pulled it out to reveal Jason was calling him. He denied the call, putting his phone on mute before putting it back in his pocket and carrying with his job.
Jason was starting to get worried, Robbie hadn't answered his calls and had been gone for 45 minutes. "Alright Jase?" Joe asked as he walked into the living room noticing that the DVD player was set up and Jason looked stressed. "Yeah I'm fine, have you seen Robbie?" Jason asked concerned for his twin. "No mate, why?" Jason sighed, "no reason."
"Jason look at me, look at me", Joe said as Jason turned round to face him. "What's going on?" Joe asked and Jason ran his hand through his hair. "Robbie said he was going to price slice to get some snacks, he's been gone for 45 minutes and he's not answering his phone, I'm worried that something's happened to him." Joe thought for a minute, it didn't take 45 minutes to get to price slice so Robbie had probably got himself involved in something.
"How many times have you rang him?" Joe asked as he heard the front door open. "5 times and he's ignored all of them", Jason replied. "What's going on in here?" Freddie asked walking into the living room to find Joe and Jason looking slightly stressed. "We think Robbie's got himself in some bother", Joe said and Freddie raised his eyebrows. "Robbie's always in trouble." Jason sighed, "I know something's up I can feel it."
Robbie knocked on the door to the house, it was run down, looked dirty but he had to keep his hard exterior up. A man opened the door, he was wearing a leather jacket, blue jeans and he had blonde hair. "You Trevor's mate?" He asked. Robbie nodded. "Here you are", Robbie said handing over the package. He went to walk away but the man called him back. "Oi, not so fast!" Robbie turned round and looked the man in the eyes. "You've been a very naughty boy", he teased and before Robbie knew it, he was punched in the face knocking him unconscious and the man dragged him inside.
Robbie woke up, he tried to move his hands but then realised they were tied together behind his back. He looked around, he was in a room that was bare, it only had a chair and he was sitting on the floor. The window was half boarded up so only some light was coming through, but it was enough to see what was around him. He could feel his jaw throbbing and his wrists were starting to ache. All of a sudden the door burst open and the man walked in. "Right then, what are we going to do with you?"
Robbie had been missing for an hour and a half; Jason was worried. He sat on the sofa, tense, his arms were resting on his knees and his hands in fists resting by his mouth. His legs were shaking and his breathing was heavy. Joe and Freddie had both noticed this but they didn't really know what to say.
"Jase just calm down yeah", Freddie said. Jason stook up. "Calm down, calm down! How can I calm down when I know that Robbie is out there in trouble, he might be hurt!" Joe and Freddie were shocked at Jason's outburst, they didn't expect him to react like that. "Jason whatever's happened to him, we will find him", Joe reassured looking Jason in the eyes.
"You gave me the wrong gear", the man said. Robbie frowned, Trevor had given it to him so he was the one that had screwed up. "Trevor gave me that, so it's his fault" Robbie spat and the man smirked. "I think you'll find Trevor's been playing you", he said standing up from the chair where he had been sitting. "He wants payback." The man punched Robbie in the face and kicked him in the stomach, causing Robbie to groan from the pain. "Not so tough now are you Roscoe", he said sharply.
Robbie didn't know how long he'd been in the house, but he knew it'd been for a while. His stomach was killing and he knew he'd broken a rib and possibly his nose. It had only just hit Robbie that Trevor had set him up; probably to get back at him for helping the police. Robbie knew his phone had been taken away from him, which just made things worse.
Robbie had been missing for 3 hours and the Roscoes were worried. Ziggy had now arrived and was getting ready to join the hunt for Robbie. Jason rang Robbie one last time and was shocked when he answered.
"Robbie?" Jason asked not quite sure if it was his brother.
"No it's Mickey, Trevor's friend. Your brother's been a very naughty boy."
Jason frowned, "what!" He spat.
Joe, Freddie and Ziggy watched on as Jason spoke on the phone; they could see he was getting wound up. "Put him on loud speaker Jase", Joe instructed and Jason did so.
"What have you done with Robbie?" Joe asked and Mickey laughed.
"And you must be the rest of the brothers, ah how sweet."
"Where's Robbie?" Freddie asked not in the mood to play games.
"Oh I'll tell you where Robbie is, when you get here" Mickey said laughing.
Before he cut off the call he kicked Robbie in the stomach causing his scream to be heard on the other end of the phone. All of the Roscoes winced.
"Right we're going to find Robbie" Freddie said walking out of the door followed by all the Roscoes. They made their way the streets all looking for some sort of house that didn't look 'normal'. After 30 minutes they found a house that looked run down and when they listened carefully enough they could hear someone scream. "He's in there", Jason said.
Joe and Freddie had already kicked the door and barged in, with Jason and Ziggy right behind. "Well well well, if it isn't the Roscoe boys", Mickey said teasing them. "Have you come to save the day?" Joe punched him straight in the face and then he and Freddie took on Mickey. Ziggy and Jason made a run for Robbie, they untied his hands and helped him out. Joe and Freddie finished off Mickey leaving him covered in his own blood.
When the Roscoes got home, Joe went out to get a takeaway, Freddie was at the club probably waiting to grill Trevor as he was responsible for all of this, Ziggy was upstairs no doubt with a girl he'd pulled in off the street and Jason and Robbie sat downstairs in the living room.
"I guess it's a bit late to start our Xbox and movie day", Jason said with a small laugh and Robbie copied. They'd took him to hospital, but Lindsey checked him over. Turned out he had two broken ribs, a broken nose, slight internal bleeding in his stomach that would pass within a few days but Robbie would feel a bit ill and stitches in his head.
"What film did you even pick?" Robbie asked intrigued to know as he never actually found out. "Avengers" Jason said. Robbie nodded at his brother's choice, it was a good film and Robbie had a feeling Jason would pick something marvel based. "We could watch it now if you want" Jason suggested kind of hoping his brother would say yes. "Go on then", Robbie said knowing he'd be stuck on the sofa. The two boys finally settled down to watch the film, after what turned out to be quite an unusual day.
Thank you for reading, reviews and suggestions are always welcome :)
And anyone who watched Hollyoaks at Christmas, Ziggy :( but at least he'll still be in these stories.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas, and that you all have a good new year :)
Next chapter prompted by Gillian Kearney Fan- Lindsey has not been revealed as the GHK. It's her sister Kim, instead, but instead of their sister Kath lying ill in hospital, it's Lindsey because Kim drowned her when they were little. Unable to do anything for herself, Lindsey is just lying there in hospital, Kim thinks she is being kind if she injects Lindsey to put an end to her pain but will anyone catch her and can Lindsey be saved. (Freddie is not the one to catch her)
