Undercover lifeguard

Chapter 8

"Right is there anything else we need for this dinner?" I looked at Carter who was on the laptop, "I don't know" I was cooking a dinner for Eric, Harry, us two and my mum, we missed christmas dinner so I thought it was better late then never, it wasn't going to be the full shabang but a nice dinner, "you are useless!" I sighed as I stormed out of the room and I began to walk to the shops...

The street was empty, I assumed all the families would be in their homes, with their kids playing with all their new toys, i continued to walk along the street when I heard shouting, a woman's voice, I ran to a street which wasmt well lit, it was damp, stunk of drugs and sweat it wasn't pleasant, I saw 5 men, in ripped clothes awful tattoos holding this woman's bag the young woman was on the floor crying as they searched through it, they began to torment it with her, until I couldn't see who has it but I'd had enough I walked in head held high, I wasn't dressed at all for this, black jeans, white tank top hair down straight, "So who has the bag?" The bunch of men stood there looking at me up and down...and the young woman cowering in a corner I think they'd scared her pretty badly, "she quite pretty she'd be good in bed, or maybe up against that wall" one moved closer to me with a nasty grin on his face, the others walking towards me almost drooling "who do you think you are?" One asked, he was the ring leader, tattoos on his face hood up I sighed as I lifted my badge up "special agent....now... who has the bag?" I asked again, they took a few steps back the woman I saw smiled a little suddenly my phone rang I ignored it and faced the men again "please I don't want to get violent" they all looked at each other and laughed then my phone rang again, I sighed as I stuttered to answer it "hello!?" 'Ooh hello!' "Carter!" 'I need your account info' "for what?" 'Ops, mine won't sign in' "username Beccaboo" 'ANDDDD password' "what can't you hack like you always do?" 'Just tell me' I muttered the password 'sorry Becca I didn't hear that say it again' I sighed and closed my eyes as I said it "xxcocopopsxx" the men began to laugh I held up my gun making them all gasp and step back a little 'cocopops..really?!' "Xx!!!" I smiled down the phone "can I go now?" 'Sure speak soon coco pops' and then he hung up the phone.

"Right who has the bag?" I kept my gun held up, suddenly one of the men walked forward and handed me the bag, a big built man "I'm sorry!!! I'm so sorry!!!" He said in a higher pitched voice then I imagined "it's not me you need to say sorry too is it!?" I said sternly the man walked up to the woman picked her up carefully, handed her the bag and hugged her, I saw as the woman tensed up as he did so, "now I've called the police! They're in their way" I said as I lowered the gun the bigger man walked away from the woman and sat down waiting, the other men eventually copied. The police arrived and took the woman in with them "thankyou! So so much" she smiled at me as they wrapped a blanket around her.

I eventually got to the shop and back to the room where Carter had set up the table with crackers, "hey up coco pops" "ohh please don't!" I smiled as I placed the bags on the side "fancy helping me?" I looked at him hopeful "I don't know how to cook" "just cut the veg up then please Carter" "fine what...what am I cutting?" I smiled hugged him and then chucked him the carrots.

*after the meal*

"Rebecca that was delicious" my mum sat back in her chair holding her stomach "thanks" I smiled as I stood up to clear the plates "no no let me" Carter jumped up and took the plates from my hands I sat back down, I need to tell my mum I wasn't a dentist, she didn't need lying too anymore "hey mum, I've got..." "Who wants a game of spoons!!?" Carter came running in "yeah sure" I smiled as my confidence suddenly went Carter sat down with a pack of cards and six tea spoons. "So how do I play this?" My mum asked smiling "basically you have to get four of a kind and if you get it you take a spoon, you can do it sneakily or really obvious" I smiled as I dealt the cards "whoever doesn't get the spoon is out if the next game" I continued as I picked up my cards and fanned them out. The first round Harry got out, the second round it was my mum, the third round it was Eric and it was me and Carter left, my mum dealt the cards, I got three 4's, from the look of Carter he had noting, he had a bad poker face, the game lasted a while but eventually I got four of a kind, but so did Carter we both went for the spoon, but I'm violent I grabbed another and hit his nickels which didn't stop him so I bit his hand and went for the spoon "oh my god take it take it!" He threw the spoon at me I lifted it in victory.

Carter nursed his hand when Eric brought out a tray which had a flour filled box, a matchstick, and five knives, "what's this?" I looked at him "flour pie" he smiled as he tipped the box upside down leaving a steady structure of flour, he then pushed the matchstick in the middle and handed us all a knife "right you cut into the flour big bits or small bits, whoever makes the matchstick fall has to pick it up with their teeth" he grinned as he cut into the pie first, it went round and round everyone trying their best not to make this stick fall, but Carter being Carter took a too bigger piece and the matchstick fell "ooooooh!!!!!" I giggled as he went down with his head to pick up the stick and me being me pushed his head down so his face hit the tray, he pulled up slowly a face full of flour then blood began to trickle down his head "oooh my head!!!" He suddenly burst out "oh my god!!!" I ran to the kitchen to grab towels and plasters when I came in Carter had blood down the side of his face I pressed the towel on hard "ouch!" "Oh shush you sissy" I pealed off the towel to look, "it's a big cut but it isn't deep enough for stitches" "well that's good then" he smiled as he applied a plaster. "Remind me never to play spoons OR flour pie with you again!!" He laughed as he picked up the bloodied towels and put them in the bin.

That night they'd gone home leaving us two, "how's your head.....and hand??" I sat down guiltily "yeahhh I'm fine" he took a sip of beer "I really am sorry I get so competitive and" "Becca!!! It's fine" he reassured me as he smiled "dinner was great, didn't know you could cook" "I'm a very good cook!!!" "Really? You tried to put tin foil in the microwave the other week" he grinned "it was part of my cover!" " hmmm yeah okay" he laughed as I got up to go to bed.
