*After a bit of a private conversation between Gaz and John - with Anne-Marie chipping in every so often -, they approach Jezebel.*

John: *With his hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans, and another cigarette between his lips.* Look, luv; the guys are a bit iffy about you just coming in... I mean, I'm perfectly fine with it, and I'm pretty sure Zed is too. But, the others want you to prove that you're *Sighs, cringing at the word* Cool enough to be a roadie with us... So...

Anne-Marie: So, we're gonna test you *Grins*

Zed: *Frowns, about to comment*

Anne-Marie: Unless you're too scared? *Raises an eyebrow, still smirking*

Ritchie: *Looks up, frowning* I don't think we should push her. *Looks to John* Do you really want her to go through with what Anne and Gaz have planned for her?

John: *Furrows his brows* I...

Jezebel: *Interrupts, before he can say anything* I'll do it.

The rest of the group: *Turn to face her, looking at her in shock* You will?!

Zed: *Steps up to Jezebel, placing her hands on the other girl's shoulders* Are you sure? You don't have to do it, if you don't want to. I'm sure John would let you hang out with us either way.

Jezebel: I'm sure... *Much quieter* I don't wanna always give in to my anxiety... and other things....

Zed: *Gives a questionable look* Okay....

John: *Turns to Gaz and Anne* What was it that you wanted her to do, anyway?

Gaz: *Smiles* Just a lil' task... Mostly Annie's idea, really.

John: Yeah, and? *Waits for him to continue or Anne to step in; when neither of them do, he raises an eyebrow at them* Well?

Anne-Marie:*Proudly grins* Well, I thought, maybe, she could pinch us John's keys back from Mr Wayne. The bastard took them from him years back. We couldn't rehearse for weeks 'cause of him.

Chas: *Shouts* Absolutely not! That's too dangerous!

Zed: *Steps in* He's right, Anne. You should know what Mr Wayne is like....

Gaz: *Frowns* A grumpy old git.

Jezebel: *Whispers* Actually, he's very sweet, once you get to know him.

Ritchie: *Glances up at her, hearing most of what she says; he smiles lightly*

Anne-Marie: *Frowning a little* It's not dangerous.

Zed: Maybe not if you've been there before or you know what you're doing.

Jezebel: *Quietly, but loud enough to be heard* I wouldn't know what type of keys to look for *Pushes her glasses back up her nose, when scrunching her nose doesn't work.*

Gaz: *Grins* Easy. They're a household cylinder type key... Gold, weren't they, John? On a Sex Pistols keyring?

John: *Slowly nods, as he's in thought* Yeah, think so.

Anne-Marie: *Looking back at Zed and Jezebel, smugly grinning* There, see. Now you do.

*Much later, after hours of trying to convince Anne-Marie and Gaz to not force Jezebel to go through with this, Jezebel saying that they're not forcing her and she's wanting to do it, and Zed and Chas doing the convincing, the group make their way to the house of their target. They stand outside it, around the back, where a small wooded area is. John pulls Jezebel back as they walk through the wooded part*

John: *Holding her by the shoulders, as the others walk ahead; he lowers his hands to her biceps when he notices the discomfort the sudden move gave her.* Sorry... Are you sure you want to go through with this, sweet'eart? You really don't have to... It was just something those two thought would be fun.
