The orange baby food splattered on the floor going everywhere within a metre radius. Lucas quickly cleaned it up as Lydia giggled. Suzanne came in and kissed Lucas good morning and then kissed Lydia on the forehead.
Suzanne made Lucas a cup of coffee as he put the baby food covered tissues in the bin.
"Do you wanna go on a date tonight?" Asked Lucas.
"Yeah, sure. Where? " Suzanne replied.
"The little Italian restaurant on the street we first met? " Lucas said.
"Yes. You're so cute." She said as she embraced him into a kiss.
"Ok. I'll call in a babysitter." Said Lucas happily.

*Phone Rings Babysitter*
"Hello. Is this Maria?" Inquired Lucas
"Yes. Who is this?" Replied the women on the end of the line.
"This is Lucas Bruchen. My wife and I were wondering if we could have a babysitter at around 7pm tonight to look after our daughter Lydia." He said
"Yes I'll come over right away. " the woman replied.
"Ok. Thank you very much bye." Lucas said courteously.
"Bye bye. " said the woman.

The babysitter arrived and Lucas opened the door and felt a strange sense of de ja vu. It was as if he had seen her before a lot. He bypassed this and within a few minutes Suzanne and himself had left the house.

*At the restaurant*
"Table for two." Confirmed Lucas
"Under what name?" Replied the waitress.
"Bruchen." Replied Lucas
"Yep. Right this way." Said the waitress.
The waitress showed them both to their little candlelight table. And they broke into conversation.

*Back at the house*
Lydia started to cry and throw all of her toys around the place. The babysitter, one of Lucas's ex girlfriends, ignored her.
Lydia through a teddy and it hit Maria on the back of the head as she was watching TV. She got and went over to Lydia and hit her across the face with the teddy and threw it back into the cot.
*at the restaurant*
By this time Lucas and Suzanne had ordered and were eating there food. Suzanne was starting to naturally worry about Lydia. She had also recognised her but couldn't pinpoint where from.
"Did you recognise that babysitter too?" Asked Suzanne
"Yeah but I can't remember where from. I recognised her name too. Maria... Maria..." He said, sure that he would remember.
They carried on eating.

*Back at the house*
The babysitter got out her phone and texted a group chat message called "The girls"
Maria: Hey girls. I need your help. My stupid Ex from a couple of years ago called my babysitting service. Let's have some fun.
Lucia: yeah sure where does he live?
Alice: yeah I'll be there.
Maria: 14 Lexlet Road
Cheltenham
GL48 1AJ
Lucia & Alice: on my way

Lucia and Alice arrived at the house and opened the door. Maria had planned what they were doing. They started to break things and all together ruin the house and neglect Lydia.

*At the restaurant*
They had eaten their food and had payed the bill when Lucas remembered.
"Oh shit. Maria was my crazy ex. We need to go now!" Said Lucas almost shouting.
"Oh fuck. Let's go!" She replied hastily.

*Back at the house*
The girls had left the house in a terrible state and Lydia in floods of tears with a bruise on the side of her head and the door wide open.

Suzanne and Lucas pulled up. Suzanne saw the door wide open. They both rushed to the door and what they saw was shocking.
