I'm now on my way home in a taxi to pick up some of my stuff. My mate Sean said I could stay at his place until I get myself sorted out. As i'm sitting in the back I can hear a ringing noise, but then realize its my phone. I checked my phone and on the screen reads the word Moo, which is the name I have for Rona Darcy in my contacts. I sat back and began thinking about whether I should answer it or not.

"Hello" I finally said as I made up my mind and answered the phone call.

"Oh hello Chuck. I've been informed by the police about your situation and first of all i'm sorry for your loss" Rona replied.

"Eh, thanks" I said pretending to sound better than I really am.

"Is that all Rona" I asked knowing that it wasn't, but still tried to be optimistic.

"I wish it was Chuck I really do, but you know whats going to happen now don't you" she replied sternly which reminded me of Sarah Parker.

"Well I was hoping it wouldn't come to that because I really need this job Rona now more than ever" I pleaded and hoped she would show me some compassion.

"I'm sorry Chuck, but I have no choice you stole alcohol,disabled security cameras and also had sex  on my property. You acted irresponsibly and destructively in my shop, so i'm going to have to let you go. I hope you understand" she said  trying to sound sympathetically.

"OK" I replied and then ended the call.

The taxi came to a stop. I handed the taxi driver the money and then paused as I looked out of the window at my house, which was still crowded with people. The thought of going back in there scared me because everything would remind me of Kate. My eyes started to water as I got out of the car. I took a long deep breath and then began approaching my house.
