INT. BACHELOR BOYS HOUSE - MORNING
Tom is sat in the living room, curtains drawn. He is starting at himself in the mirror, totally traumatised by the events of last night, nervously awaiting Craig to come and drop the bombshell.
The camera cuts to Craig who casually walks up the garden path, he knocks loudly on the door. Tom doesn't get up to answer it. The knocking continues.
Chris runs down the stairs in just his boxer shorts, and sees Tom sitting down.
Chris: I'll get then shall I!? :rolleyes: Honestly!
Chris opens the door, Craig walks in confidently.
Chris: Craig?
Craig: How you doing Chris, hope you didn't react too badly...
Chris: What the hell boss? It's a bank holiday I aint gotta come in...
Craig walks around the living room, observing the decor.
Craig: Bit of a stig hole, but given a lick of paint...
Chris: What you going on about boss?
Romeo comes down the stairs and enters the living room.
Craig: Oh come on, you mean Tom hasn't told you the bad news yet?
Chris and Romeo look at Craig blankly. Tom sits nervously, awaiting their reactions.
Craig: You're little friend here gambled the deeds to this house in a game of cards last night...and he lost...
Romeo: You what!?
Craig: You heard, now gather up your things and get the hell out of my house...
Chris: You're kidding us right boss!? This can't be happening!?
Craig: I'll leave Tom to explain, if you're not out in the next hour I'll be sending in the heavies...
Craig walks out, leaving them to it. Romeo and Chris look at Tom with looks of total despair...
Romeo: You'd best bloody starting talking...now...

Annie is stood outside the B&B, she watches as the for sale board is being put up. Mandy comes outside.
Mandy: What's all this noise?
Mandy sees the board being put up, and instantly looks at Annie in shock.
Mandy: What's going on!?
Annie: I'd have thought that was pretty obvious...I'm selling up...
Mandy: And when were you going to tell me about this!?
Annie: I don't know, now I suppose...
Mandy: Well what about me!? Where I am going to live!?
Annie: That's not my problem Mandy, you're a grown woman, you'll find somewhere...
Mandy: I can't believe you've done this...without consulting me...
Annie: I'm sorry but where in the rulesbook did I have to inform you about selling my B&B? You were Eddie's daughter, not mine I don't owe anything to you...
Mandy: Oh now you're just being daft...
Annie: Look Mandy, I just want to sell up and move on, I can't be worrying about you...I'm sure Jon wont see you out on the streets, now if you don't mind I've got things to be doing...
Annie walks back into the house, leaving Mandy slightly stunned by this sudden anouncement...

Charlie: It's just a peice of crappy paper!
Simon: What's so bad about it then!? Too ashamed to show me your rubbish grades!?
Charlie: Oh nice to see you have confidence in me dad! :rolleyes:

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY
Charlie is in her room, music blasting out to drown out the sounds of her father shouting up the stairs. She gets the bag of cocaine from under her pillow and looks at it, there isn't much left.
Charlie: (To Self) God's sake...
Charlie looks at herself in the mirror, she is looking worse for wear, slightly shaky. She picks up her phone and calls Craig.
Craig: (O.S) Harvey...?
Charlie: Yeah it's me...look I need some more powder...
Craig: What, already?
Charlie: Let's just say I've needed a few pick me ups recently...
Craig: Don't you think you should pay off what you owe me first before you ask for more? It's expensive stuff you know...
Charlie: Look you'll get your money, plus intrest...but I really need some more Craig, please...
Craig: I'll be around at the garage for another half an hour or so, come and get it...
Charlie puts down the phone, and breaths a sigh of releif. She runs her hands through her hair in despair, realising what she's let herself in for...

Romeo: Well you didn't! And now you've lost this place! It's not just your house, it's all three of ours! You had no right gambling it away!
Tom: Do you think I don't know that!?
Romeo: Then why the hell did you do it then!?
Tom: It was my addiction, I though i'd kicked it...
