  Helena and Dean’s House

  Montgomery Crescent

  Exeter

  Friday 23rd October

  8.40 a.m.

 

  “Shit, shit, shit,” said Dean jumping out of bed. “Look at the time, I’ve overslept.”

  Helena wiped the sleep from her eyes and sat up.

  “What time is it,” she said, reaching for the clock.

  Dean didn’t answer. He stood by the door, hurriedly pulling on his trousers, and almost falling face first into the wall at the same time.

  “Slow down Jimbo, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

  He dropped down on the end of the bed, and stared at the ceiling.

  “I’ve never overslept before. I could have sworn I’d set the alarm.”

  “It’s funny the boys didn’t wake us. They’re normally up by now. I’ll go and check on them.”

  She returned from their room a few minutes later.

  “They’re sound asleep. Both of them are out for the count.”

  Dean opened the curtains, and gazed down onto the street.

  “I know why we’ve all overslept.”

  Helena frowned.

  “What was different about last night?” asked Dean.

  She shrugged her shoulders.

  “I don’t know. I must have fallen asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.”

  “Exactly, that’s what was different about last night.”

  Helena didn’t know what he was getting at.

  “Uninterrupted sleep. We both slept the whole night through, and so did the kids.”

  Helena nodded as the penny dropped.

  “Drew Lees, ……. he didn’t play his music.”

  “Yep, he gave us a night off,” said Dean.

  “Perhaps he’s not well.”

  “Hopefully it’s worse than that, hopefully the bastard’s dead.”
