INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - EVENING
Roxy is at the front of the pub, singing All Saint's Never Ever, the pub is filled with punters who are all listening to her singing and enjoying it.
Roxy: Vexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting
'Cause I heard this feeling
won't last that long...
She continues to sing. Patrick is collecting glasses and smiling at Roxy, admiring her performance, she walks behind the bar where Amy has her arms folded in her mood.
Patrick: What's up with you? You've had a strop on all night...
Amy: Maybe it's becuase I didn't get a say in the hiring...
Patrick: What's wrong with her!? Eh!?... Just look at the pub...it's filled...the people love her...she's perfect!
Amy: Even so, it would have been nice to have had a say in it...
Patrick: Look it's not like I made the wrong choice....and if I do then you can shout at me all you like...she's a breath of fresh air to this place...
Patrick looks over at Roxy, she gives her a wink, thanking him for the job. He smiles back at her, Amy sees this and gives him a scornful look.
Patrick: (Baffled) What's that for!?
Amy: You just remembered what I said Patrick...anymore cheating and you're out...on the street at the drop of a hat...I'm going to bed! I'm sure you and Roxy can handle the customers...
She gives him a scornful look, as she storms out of the bar and upstairs. Patrick laughs it off, rests his arms down on the counter and stares over at Roxy, whose performance is captivating the entire pub.

INT. MEMBERS ONLY GOLF CLUB - DAY
Richard storms up from his seat, having been told the bad news.
Peter: Richard what are you doing?
Richard: To speak to him of course!
Richard storms over to the other side of the room, where Jared and his buisness colleges are having lunch.
Richard: Ashworth! I wan't a word!
Throughout the conversation Jared remains calm and polite, to make Richard seem ridiculous for overreacting.
Jared: Richard...what can i do for you? Care to join us...?
Richard: I'd rather stick pins in my eyes you snivelling snake in the grass!
Jared: (Laughs) I don't know what you mean...
Richard: A luxury holiday village just outside of Baymoore!
Jared: Ah yes...
Richard: Well what the hell do you think your playing at!? Baymoore is my territory Ashworth!
Jared: Buisness is buisness Richard, besides a bit of healthy competiton has never done anyone any harm...
Richard: There's no competiton Jared! Your "five star" hotel and whatever else you have planned would easily beat my holiday village... I can't see what you have to benefit from starting up in Baymoore...other than to poach my customers!
Jared: Richard it's too late in the day for me to go back on my plans... and I'm not just going to stop because someone's throwing their dummy out of the pram...ce sera Richard...what will be will be...
Richard: No way will I let you ruin my family buisness Jared! Over my dead body!!!
Richard storms out of the golf club, outraged. Jared smiles to himself, whipes his mouth with his serviette, and continues with his meal.
Jared: Right then gentlemen, where were we? :D

Vicky: Gossiping down the pub about our relationship, was he?!
Amy: Course not! He's just concerned! Was it about the baby....?
Vicky: As far as he's concerned, there isn't a baby.
Amy: You mean, he doesn't want anything to do with it?! :eek:
Vicky: He's not that type of person!
Amy: You haven't told him yet?! Vicky, you've got to!
Vicky: But what if its Kyles? What do i do then?

INT: MANSFIELD HOUSE- Evening
Vicky walks back into the living room, oblivious to the phonecall and holding a bottle opener. She passes it to Amy, and sits down. Amy puts it on the table, and looks at Vicky is dismay..
Vicky: I know you dont approve of me not telling Nick, but its my desision, so you have no right to look at me like that because of it!
Amy: Your decision? Ok, i might just about accept that you might not want to tell him right now...
Vicky: Good!
Amy: But have an abortion, and still not tell him?!
Vicky: You... What?! How did you find that out?!
Amy: So you were trying to keep it from me, as well as Nick! Sandy from the clinc called... what are you doing, Vicky?
Vicky: Its the best way.
Amy: For who?!
Vicky: For everyone. Me and Nick will be fine, as long as we dont have it.
Amy: It?! Its a baby, not a thing! This baby is just what you and Nick need to bring you back together, after everything thats happened. You can't just throw away that chance.
Vicky: So i have the baby, and have that question hanging over me? Not knowing if Nick is even the father?! I can't do that. I can't live my life, and bring up anther life not knowing for certain. Sorry, but i'm going for that appointment at the Abortion Clinic tomorrow, and ending this whole thing. And if you can't accept that, then theres no point you even staying here any longer.
