Part 5

Shortly after the kind women cut off the phone, the police knocked loudly on the door, then let themselves in, their hard boots padding along the long hallway. A tall man popped into the living room, shortly followed by another police woman and a young paramedic, who rushed over too you and charlie, and was checking you for any injurys, you told the police the full story, and let them look through the camera system in the kitchen, whilst you and charlie where being asked health related questions from the fussy paramedic. "I promise, I feel fine, the burglar didn't touch us, or even see us" charlie said kindly too the paramedic (you guessed he had just got the job, he seemed nervous).

After around a minute of awkward silence, the police asked you both to come look at something, the two of you walked into the kitchen (the paramedic behind you) and saw a paused picture on the small plasma screen, showing a man with bags around his shoulders, it looked like the burglar. The police woman asked if you know the man, the burglar, you shook your head because you didn't recognise him as anything but the burglar, surprisingly charlie nodded and said "he looks a lot like my uncle Craig, who has done many crimes and no longer is allowed to speak to the family, so maybe it's him" the police looked satisfied and where asking charlie questions like where his uncle lived etc so you sat on a nearby chair in the kitchen. Suddenly you heard someone open the front door, and walk through the living room and into the kitchen. Charlie stood up immediately shouted "dad!" and hugged the Man tightly. Charlie's dad had been working away for months, and had come home to police in his kitchen. "What has happend charlie?" Charlie's dad said, a worried look across his face. "Well urm, we got burgled dad, I'm so sorry we were asleep" charlie said upset. "That doesn't matter, all that matters is that you and your friend are ok,did you see what the burglar took ?" Charlie's dad said concerned. "It was mainly cloths and necklaces, but the special family ring went missing" you said, not wanting charlie to do all the talking. The police decided to join in with the conversation "who knows about this special family ring, and is it expensive" "only close family and friends know about this ring and it's location, because you have too see it to know where it is" charlie replied, and also added "it's very expensive too".

After the conversation, the police decided to leave, but before they left, they said "we'll come by in a few days, here's my number, call it if anything happens, and if you don't mind, could we please download some of tonight's camera footage, for investigation reasons" charlie and his dad nodded, and the three of you watched the police and the little paramedic walk towards the door, and as they where leaving, the police woman said too Charlie's dad "the burglar is recognised as your brother and Charlie's uncle Craig, so I'd keep a good eye on him, after his sentence in prison" Charlie's dad nodded, a little confused then watched the police car drive away, closed the door and sat on the sofa. "It's past midnight, I think you two should get some rest after this long evening, i will be downstairs unpacking, goodnight you two, have a nice sleep" Charlie's dad said whilst in mid yawn.

You and charlie walked up the stairs, into Charlie's room. Charlie flicked on the light and jumped on his bed pulling of his shirt and his trousers leaving him in just his boxers, "charlie, please could I borrow some of your cloths for the night, I have nothing to wear" you asked politely, slightly blushingas you said it. "Sure" charlie replied, throwing you some comfy football shorts and a soft top. You caught the cloths and walked towards the bathroom, shutting the bathroom door behind you. You quickly changed into Charlie's cloths and took in their warm familiar smell, smiled and headed back to Charlie's room. Once you where in his room, you dived on his double bed laughing and gave him a big hug,he squeezed you tightly and softly kissed your forehead, then turned off the lights and pulled the covers over you. The two of you hugged again and Charlie kissed you on the lips this time, whispering "night baby girl, I love you" and pulled you into a comfortable position in his arms, closed his eyes and fall asleep. You did the same, and strangely, after the night you had, fall to sleep with a little smile on your face.
