I'm sat at the desk working away and don't notice the door open. Dad came in and droped a map on the table in front of me. I slowly looked up and catch his eyes.
Phil: Here it is. *Putting the map down and taking out a pen*
Ben: What is it? I mean, I can clearly see its a map but of where?
Phil: the warehouse on James Street. *Tracing a line on the map* this is the way we need to go to not be noticed by the security cameras.
Ben: ok. Who's in? Me, you and who?
Phil: Danny and a few others. But look,that's why I'm here. I need to talk to you about it.
Ben: *cutting in* what?
Phil: I don't think you should be in. Not on the front line anyway. This is important for me. You know what I mean?
Ben: but dad I'm fine.
Phil: I can't have this go wrong. I need to know that eveyone will be giving it 100%
Ben: but dad I will. You know I will. I have never given you anything less in a job. I CAN DO THIS
Phil: I know. I know. *Sighs* But with everything at the moment, your hearing, Callum being a copper, you have Lexi to look after, you know.. I think it'll be safer to keep you out. Look, I'm sorry Ben. *Walks out*
I sit there. Still in the moment and super confused. Like why would he tell me this, bring me the map and everything but tell me I'm out, tease me like we're back at school. I am so angry right now. He can't just drop me cos I'm not 'perfect' anymore. I'm still his son. I can still do him proud (and I'm going to prove it)
