I am currently in the office as Mike asked to speak to me. "Right Roxy. I just have a few questions about something that's been brought to our attention recently."

I roll my eyes, "I swear to god, if this is about me and O'Donovan again I've already told ya that nothings going on so I wouldn't bother."

"No, no. This isn't about Liam. We've already discussed that situation." Mike chuckles, "This is actually about your family. More specifically, your dad."

"Greg." I correct.

"Right, sorry." Mike apologizes. "Did you know if he had any brothers?"

"Not that I remember." I shake my head.

"Any close friends he considered family?" Mike inquires.

"Nah, the only friends he had were his mates at the pub or boxing club. And they were all druggies and alcoholics. So if they were considered family that probably meant he just got drunk with him." I shrug. "Why?"

"Well I got a call yesterday from a man claiming to be your uncle. He asked if he could come visit you as he hadn't seen you in a long time." He informs.

"Well if he is my uncle he must have done what most did and ran away when Greg went psycho. What last name did he use?" I ask.

"Vanderwaal." He replies.

"Definitely Greg's side then if he is. Amanda told everyone that she took me with her and changed my last name to Sullivan." I state.

"Right, so what would you like me to do about his request for a visit?" Mike asks.

"Um, allow it. You never know he could be a really great uncle and turn out to be some right geezer like Danny Dyer." I smirk, thinking on the bright side.

"Okay Roxy, I'll give him a ring and see when he'd like to have the visit." He says with a smile.

"Thanks Mikey." I say and stand up.

"Oh and Roxy?" Mike stops me. "You and Liam, eh?" He smirks.

"Bye Mike!" I walk out as he laughs.

<^>

I walk into the living room. "Not been kicked out then?" I hear a familiar cockney accent ask.

"Nope." I smile.

"Come on then. What'd you do?" Sapphire asks.

"Nothing." I answer.

"No way. You don't get pulled into the office for nothing, you so got caught for something." Johnny speaks up.

"Not today, Johnny Boy." I smirk. "Mike pulled me in to tell me I have a long lost uncle who's trying to gain contact."

"Cool, what's his name?" Sapphire asks.

"Um, I don't know." I shrug.

"Who's side is he from?" Liam asks.

"Greg's I think." I reply.

"So you know nothing about this bloke." Liam says harshly.

"Liam." Sapphire warns.

"No not really, cos funnily enough I didn't even know he existed an hour ago." I say back in the same tone as him.

"Ooo~ trouble in paradise?" Elektra teases.

"Shut it, Gonzo! Go find Kermit!" I snap at her, a few people snicker.

"That's it!" She stands up and storms out.

"What's wrong O'Donovan?" I ask.

"Its just... nothing good ever comes from your family. I don't want you getting hurt again." He replies in a softer tone.
