EP #2

The Vic
It is early in the morning. Princess is up in her dressing gown cleaning up the mess from the night before. Locke calls down from upstairs
Locke: Has any post come yet darlin'?
Princess glances down to the floor by the entrance to the vic. There is one letter and a postcard with a picture of a beach on the front. Princess drifts over to the letters and picks them up, examining the postcard - it's from Vicky, her sister. She opens the other letter and pulls out a letter from the court titled: "RE: Child custody hearing". She smirks as she reads through the letter.
Locke: OI! You still alive down there?
She sniggers
Princess: Yepp... be right up!
She smiles before skipping through the pub and upstairs in glee.

Gypsygoth, Ukturtle and Harry's house
Gypsygoth is still in bed asleep. Ukturtle comes into the room with a cup of tea. He puts it down on the bedside cabinet before waking Gypsygoth up. She sits up slowly, adjusting her eyes to the light
Ukturtle: I managed to get a sub from my boss this morning - we've got tea and some electric but that's all I could haggle out of him.
Gypsygoth yawns
Ukturtle: I'm sorry babe...
She sighs.
Gypsygoth: Don't be. I was in a mood.
Ukturtle strokes her hair.
Gypsygoth: Babe, can you take Harry to school today? I've got a headache..
Ukturtle grins.
Ukturtle: Of course I will.. you go back to sleep.
She smiles and he kisses her on the forehead before leaving.

Ninastar, Smithy and Niall's flat
Smithy is stood by the door, reading a letter identical to the one the Princess was hearing. He shakes his head in anger and looks over at Niall who is eating cornflakes on the sofa. His anger turns to sadness at the thought of losing his child. He hides the letter under the sofa before Ninastar comes out of the bathroom in just a towel.
Smithy: Morning...
She doesn't respond, instead she sprawls herself across a sofa before lighting up a cigarette. She inhales it and then blows it over in Nialls direction. Niall waves his arms in the air.
Niall: Eugh! You dirty skank - you stink!
Ninastar: Oh shut it, squirt.
Smithy looks over at Niall.
Smithy: Eh, mind your language, you..
Ninastar sniggers. Smithy glances over at her.
Smithy: Problem?
Ninastar continues to snigger.
Ninastar: Er, he's 13 years old babe - when I was his age I'd already been smoking for 2 years and was in m'a second sexual relationship! So what!? Give 'im a bit of space, Christ!
Smithy looks back down at the letter and shakes his head, doubtful.

Gypsygoth, Ukturtle and Harry's house
The door closes as Ukturtle and Harry leave on their way to school. Gypsygoth jumps out of bed and runs down the stairs. She opens up a draw and pulls out the envelope full of cash. She flicks through it and smiles. She goes out to the fridge and pulls off a piece of paper with big red writing all over it saying: "Final Warning". She counts out the money in her head - £200, before looking at the final bill total - £1512.55. She frowns, but knows what she needs to do. She pulls out her phone and the number given to her by the hooded figure and starts to dial in the number. Her finger hovers over the cancel button as she deliberates what she is about to do, but a small picture of Harry appears in the corner of her eye and she makes up her mind, pressing the green 'ring' button.
