Episode four - P3

The group were sat in the van outside of Mr Bishops house ready to steal the fish.

"Right, as fast as you can. We'll ring if anyone arrives back." Vinnie said to Tommo, Ash and JJ as he and Lottie were going to keep watch.

"Be careful." Lottie said to them as they got out the van.

"They'll be fine sweetheart." Vinnie said to reassure his girlfriend.

"Yeah. But play rock, paper, scissors with me." Lottie said hoping that it would distract her.

About 10 minutes later the pair looked up when they heard a small bang and saw a neighbour looking around the street after putting his bins out.

"Call Tommo." Lottie said to Vinnie as the man crossed the street.

"How long you gonna be?" Vinnie said as soon as Tommo answered, "Got a nosy neighbour who's seen the gate." Vinnie told his mate, "Shit. I'll have to head him off." Vinnie said as he hung up and got out of the van with Lottie following close behind.

"Excuse me, excuse me. Sorry to bother you." Vinnie said to the neighbour as they walked up to him.

"It's all right. Sorry to bother you." Lottie said calmly after their appearance made the man jump.

"We're just looking for Mount View Crescent." Vinnie said to the man hoping to distract him.

"Mount View Crescent? Never heard of it." The neighbour said as he tried to look around Lottie and Vinnie.

"I'm tryin' to find my nan's house. Bloody sat nav's brought us down the wrong way. You don't know where it is?" Vinnie questioned the man again.

"Never heard of it." The neighbour said getting annoyed at the couple.

"Oh!" Vinnie shouted as he hunched over in pain.

"What is it? Are you OK? Where's the pain?" The neighbour questioned worriedly.

"It's just down my side there." Vinnie said as he sat on the curb with Lottie hovering behind him anxiously.

"Is it a sharp pain?" The neighbour asked Vinnie who grabbed Lottie's hand to reassure her.

"It is a sharp pain, yeah. It's, I don't know, a twisted bowel. Oh. Yes, it's how my dad went." Vinnie said to the man as he grimaced in false pain.

"Can I do anything for you?" The man questioned a worried tearful Lottie who sat next to Vinnie rubbing his back.

"You're gonna have to ring an ambulance." Lottie said to the man hoping it would keep him distracted for longer.

"You're gonna have to ring an ambulance." Vinnie painfully said in agreement.

"An ambulance? erm, yes, yes. I will, yes. Stay there." The man said a bit panicked as he walked back to his house just in time for the others to run out of Mr Bishops house.

"Thanks, man. Thank you." Vinnie said to the man gratefully as he watched the man go towards his house.

"Oi! You chaps!" The neighbour shouted when he turned and saw the others running out of the house, "I'm calling the police!" He shouted to them as they all rushed into the van.

"Vinnie, slow down, man. There's water splashing everywhere." JJ shouted as they sped away from the house.

"You're gonna have one flopping out." Ash said to him as they turned a sharp corner.

"How am I gonna get away at this speed?" Vinnie asked sarcastically as he slowed down.

"I'm really sorry, fishes. Please don't die, yeah?" JJ pleaded to the fish in the back of the van.
