"Anyone want coffee?" Matty asked, as they walked into the old section of the house.
"Let me help you," Julie offered.
Frank walked to Bill.

He took a pack of cigarettes from the bar and lit one, checking his calls. There was one voice mail from Nick.

"He listened to a voicemail and just ran out and across the road."

Moments later, they all hugged and the Tucker's went back inside.
Matty watched, as Bill walked back across the cobblestone road.
"I told them to wait until morning. Nick called and said that Henry is resting in ICU. The operation went well."

Matty kissed Bill quickly, passing him a coffee.
"Fuck of a night."
"Not over yet," Bill pointed out, as they watched Freddy's huge truck slowly drive by, heading to the end of the village.
"Fuck," Matty sighed.
"We will still have the cops to deal with as well."
