EPISODE 22 OF SUBURBAN WAYS
Scene: The Robinson’s
“What on earth!” Margaret bellows at Jasmine. Jasmine pours herself a drink. “Martha has been lied to and she is still pining for that idiot” she said gulping the G n T down her. Margaret rolls her eyes. “Joyce does not need this” Margaret rolls her eyes.
“We can’t keep her from everything she will find out sooner or later Margaret” she replies. Joyce stands in the doorway.
“Keep me from what?”
“Joyce we didn’t see you there” she said nervously.
“Well obviously you were having a conversation with Margaret and my name was mentioned” she said. “So what are we keeping from Joyce” she looks at Jasmine and then looks at her sister in law.
Scene: The Sandwich Bar
“Dad put that sign a little higher” says Niri. “Maya that’s not how I wanted the napkins” she called. Jiten laughs at his sister as he was bringing out menus. “Oh I just do it myself” she says as she snatches the napkins. “Mom” says Niri.
“Oh don’t go American on me!” Maya folds her arms. Josie and Arthur walks through the door. “Oh hello I know you’re not open yet but I thought it would be a good chance to introduce ourselves” says Arthur Mitchell.
“Oh please come in” said Niri as she walks over to them. “I’m Niri, my brother Jiten my father Hiten and my bolshie daughter over there Maya” she said. “Pleasure to meet you all” said Josie as she hands over a bottle of champagne. “Oh I get the glasses shall I” she said. “So how you settling in?” Hiten smiles. Maya rolls her eyes and props herself on a bar stool and reads a magazine. “Very well thank you” he replies. “We run the bar across the road so if you ever feel that you want a drink feel free to come along. The locals are always in there –“
“And there is always gossip” said Steve Palmer coming through the door. “Ah this is my nephew Steve” Steve smiles at everyone. “I bring an extra glass?”
Scene: The Club
Martha is getting ready for the night’s preparations. She looks at playlists and runs her finger down the paper. There is a cough from behind. She looks up. It’s Jocelyn putting down her handbag. “Can I help you?” Jocelyn props herself up on the bar stool. “Yes I like to see all of last year’s inventory and paperwork” she adds.
“Why?”
“As I said before my daughter is in no fit state to be dealing with business so I am here to take over!” Martha is stunned.
“What!”
“You heard” she said. “No run along and go and get them for me whilst I help myself to a drink!” Martha folds her arms in protest.
“No!”
“You do as you are told I am running this business and I will!!
DCI Emma Banks walks into the bar.
“You can forget it you are not stepping into this place whether you like it or not!”
Emma coughs.
