Episode 796

EPISODE #104 IN FANFIC

Janice and Richard are in a cafe drinking coffee
Richard - Doesn't that woman understand that my son is going to prison for the rest of his life? How can she be so happy about Dwyer's death?
Janice - Wendy was being a selfish bitch darling. Only thinking about herself and the fact that she now has his fortune
Richard - Well I wish she had kept her feelings to herself, seeing her so happy made it even worse
Janice - I know, she is really not worth getting upset over. Let's forget about her and focus on helping Darren now
Richard - Well what can we do to help him now? The judge has made his decision
Janice - There is always the option to appeal, we can encourage Darren to go down that route
Richard - You reckon that will offer some hope for him?
Janice - Well there's a chance isn't there, it's worth trying anyway
Richard - It's not as if my boy has anything else to lose now is it? He got the maximum sentence
Janice - Exactly. We have to try, he can't lose anything and can only gain a reduced sentence with some luck

The solicitor's office
Grace puffs on a cigarette and looks grave
Grace - This is a problem, it won't be bloody easy to resolve this. we are all aware of how dangerous Butler is
Jim - Yes well frankly I am disgusted that he was allowed to walk free after what he did to my wife and sons
Grace - Well that decision had nothing to do with me Mr Fletcher, I don't like the idea of men like Butler walking free any more than you do
Jim - So you have no idea how to get them back safely? That's not very bloody encouraging is it
Grace - I'm thinking ok, I'm bloody thinking
Jim - I hope this thinking won't be going on too long. I need to hear a plan soon before I go mad. This is making me sick with worry

Toni is banging on the door of the pantry
Toni - LET ME OUT SANDRA! PLEASE!
The flat is empty

Sue is behind the governor's desk when there is a knock at the door
Sue - Come in
Sandra enters
Sue - Good morning Mrs Clements
Sandra - Good morning, I came for a quick word...
Sue - I'm glad you came to see me, I wanted to talk to you too. I wanted to make sure there are no hard feelings about my getting the deputy governor position
Sandra delivers a sweet smile
Sandra - Of course, not Sue, I realize it's not your fault. It was all Eileen's decision and we must respect her choices mustn't we
Sue - Still I realize it was a blow for you
Sandra - Rubbish, I don't mind at all!
Sue - Ok I'm glad.....well what was it you wanted to see me about?
Sandra - It's about Toni, she wanted me to tell you that she has decided to resign
Sue looks shocked
Sue - Resign? That's a bit sudden, isn't it? She always seemed so happy in her job
Sandra - She said something about wanting a change. The job wears her out, its too much hard work for her
Sue - She always seemed to cope well enough to me
Sandra sighs with irritation
Sandra - Oh well all I can do is pass on the message anyway!
Sue - Why can't Toni tell me herself?
Sandra - Because she asked me to do it...
Sue - I know but why? I would prefer to hear it from her herself
Sandra - Does it really matter?
Sue - Yes it does to me, I will have to ring her
Sandra - Ring her? why?
Sue - Because I want to hear it from her, I will feel better that way
Sue picks her phone up
Sue - I will call her now
Sandra - Oh she won't be there, she has gone away for a while
Sue - Gone away?
Sandra - Yes that's right, she needed a holiday
Sue - And does she not care that she is supposed to give notice? We are short-staffed enough as it is without this
Sandra chuckles
Sandra - Well I did try to point this out to her but she wouldn't have it!
Sue looks annoyed
Sue - How inconsiderate! It's just not good enough! 

Back with Jim and Grace
Grace - We'll have to set a trap for Butler, catch him
Jim - Set a trap how?
Grace- Next time you go to meet him to hand him some more money, you won't be taking any cash. Instead, we will be coming along and once there we will arrest him, take him in for questioning and make him tell us where the hostages are
Jim shakes his head
Jim - That won't work, Geoff will never reveal where the hostages are. He would rather die than give in like that
Grace - He will have no choice once we start interrogating him, believe me, my men can be pretty bloody persuasive when they need to be
Jim - No it's too dangerous. Butler told me that he has an accomplice. He says that if he doesn't return within an hour of meeting me he has left the accomplice instructions to kill them all
Grace- He's probably lying...
Jim - He might not be, is it worth taking the risk?
Grace - We have to try and rescue them somehow, have you got any better bloody ideas?
Jim shakes his head with despair
Jim - I was so sure Bob could rescue them. If anyone could do it it would have been Bob
Grace - Yes, well that plan was bloody stupid. That's what happens when you try and deal with psychopaths like Butler on your own without help from us
Jim - Well I don't like your idea at all, I say its too risky
Grace - I say it's the only bloody option there is....my men will get him to reveal their location, and he will be left with no choice but to cooperate
Jim - And what happens if his accomplice really does have instructions to kill them within an hour?
Grace - Then we will have to make sure we get the information out of him within ten minutes of catching him won't we
Jim - I don't like it.....
Grace - I don't bloody like it either but what else can we do?
