Chapter 6

Ive got an idea Rebecca said looking at freen.

What is it darling.

Well maybe you can ring Lucy and ask her to look after Sam.

Freen ran and flung her arms around her, your so right baby why didn't I think of that..

Laughing Rebecca said, not just a pretty face then angel..

That and so much more bec, don't know what I'd do without u,, your so special to me.

You are to me to freen and I love u so much.

Okay sweetheart thanks.

So freen gets her phone and finds the number that Lucy rang her on.

Ring rings, hey freen are u doing okay what's up.

Can we meet please at the cafe round the corner from that park I saw u and heng in.

Yeah sure, er, what is it about.

I'll explain when I see u is that okay with u.

Yeah freen that's fine.

Look can I say something first.

Yeah sure Lucy what is it.

I'm so sorry about him and the way he was with Sam I didn't think he would actually hurt her to.

Hang on,, u told me he never hurt my baby.

I'm so so sorry, I didn't know how to tell u.

What, what, did he do to Sam this time Lucy.

He burnt the back of her head.

With what.

My hair straighteners, they were very very hot at the time.

My god I hate that man so much can't believe I left Sam with him.

Okay I'll see you soon.

Thank you.

And hour later freen and becky met Lucy at the cafe.

Freen hugged Lucy,, thank you so much for meeting me today.

No problem, am glad I could actually help.

Would u like a coffee or something.

Yeah black coffee no sugar please.

What about you baby or do I even have to ask, freen said with a grin.

I'll have the same, black but with a shot of espresso thanks angel.

So they all sat down.

So freen what's up.

Sam gets on okay with you alright doesn't she Lucy, she listens to u and stuff.

Yeah I guess, but where is this going freen.

Look let me just get straight to the point.

Sam was taken away from me and she's gonna be put into foster care for a bit.
