Chapter 10
Cheryl heard the buzzer sound on the security panel in the hallway. She looked at the small CCTV screen and could see Sarah sat in her car waiting at the gate.
Cheryl pressed the button to speak over the intercom…
“Hello, who is it?” Cheryl asked, knowing full well it was Sarah.
“It’s me ya daft cow” Sarah replied waving at the CCTV camera “Open the bloody gate will ya?”
“Sorry but you’ll need to give me your name!” Cheryl said, enjoying teasing Sarah.
“What? Cheryl it’s me!”
“Yes but who are you?” Cheryl said trying to stop herself from laughing.
“Look at your video screen Cheryl and you will see it’s me…..Sarah!”
“I’m afraid the CCTV doesn’t work very well in poor light conditions. Sarah who?”
Cheryl could see Sarah waving her hands about in frustration and shaking her head.
“Oh for f*ck sake Cheryl! It’s me Sarah Harding. You know?….your friend!”
“I’m sorry! I can’t just take your word for it, you could be anyone posing as Sarah. Can you hold some identification close to the CCTV camera for me please”
Kimberley appeared from the kitchen grinning, she had heard the entire conversation and came to watch Sarah on the screen.
They watched quietly giggling as Sarah fumbled about in her bag looking for her purse. She eventually pulled her drivers licence from her purse and stuck her hand out of the car window and held it close to the camera.
“There! Here’s me bloody driving license! Is that OK? Now will you open the gate?”
“Hmmm, that looks like a fake license to me. Sarah’s license photo isn’t that ugly!”
Cheryl and Kimberley were almost wetting themselves at this point.
“Cheryl you are a complete sh*t-bag! You know it’s me now open the gate or I’m gonna leave!”
Cheryl pressed the button and the automatic gate began to slide open.
“About bloody time!” They heard Sarah shout as she began to drive through the gateway.
About 20 minutes later they heard the buzzer sound on the security panel again. Cheryl went to look at the CCTV screen and could see Nicola waiting at the gate.
“I hope you’re gonna do the same to her as you did to me!” Sarah said as she approached Cheryl.
“I’ve already played that joke on Nicola before, she doesn’t fall for it anymore” Cheryl replied as she pressed the button to open the gate.
They waited at the front door as Nicola drove down to the house. Nicola got out of her car and Sarah and Cheryl burst out laughing…
“What the f*ck are ya’s laughing at?” Nicola said with a confused look on her face.
“What the hell have ya done to your hair Nic? Ya look like Don King with ginger hair!” Sarah Said laughing.
“Oh, I washed me hair just before I left but didn’t have time to dry it so I had the window open while I was driving here. I suppose it’s stuck up everywhere?” Nicola replied.
