Sian: we missed so much you know, we’re going to be well behind

Sophie: well that’s the least of our worries

Sian: yeah what are we going to tell everyone?

Sophie: I don’t know the truth, we’ve got nothing to hide

Sian: yeah I know but what are we going to tell the teachers

Sophie: I’ll get my mum to write us a note. Dear Sir, Sophie and Sian have been absent because they have been struck down by lesbianitus

Sally: don’t be daft, we’ve got that meeting today we can talk things through

Sophie: yeah thanks for sorting it

Sally :we’re seeing the head at half past ten, can you go and make yourselves decent please

Headmaster: they have missed rather a lot of school

Sally: well as I have said they’ve had personal problems

Headmaster: would you care to elucidate?

Sally: no not really, like I said it’s personal

Headmaster: I hae of course heard the rumors, maybe you would like to use this opportunity to set the record straight

Sally: are you trying to be funny?

Headmaster: not at all

Sophie: well me and Sian are together if that is what you’re trying to get at

Headmaster: so your continued absence from school was due to relationship problems

Sally: they didn’t run of to Lesbos to live in a yurt, things have been difficult for them, impossible, they’ve had a lot to cope with

Headmaster: that may be but running away was not the answer, they have missed so much schooling there is no hope of the catching up

Sally: oh and doesn’t that just suit you fine

Headmaster: Mrs Webster I can assure you…

Sally: you can assure me all you like, I can see exactly what you really think 

Sally: look the fact of the matter is it will be impossible for them to catch up now

Headmaster: shame on you, you just don’t want them here because of the way they are, it’s not like they’ve been on some mad bender drinking and taking drugs, they’re a couple of decent honest hardworking girls that just happen…happened to have fallen in love with each other. Do you know what they don’t deserve this, we’re not all the same, people are as they are, they shouldn’t have to apologise for it and if you took your head out of your backside for one second, you might realise that

Sophie: what are you doing? Trying to spot the signs, see where it all went wrong

Sally: don’t be daft, ah look at that, you had just had your tonsils out. I remember seeing you in that hospital bed, looking all small and pale, I thought I’d die if anything ever happened to you, I loved you so much

Sophie: mum

Sally: all you want to do is protect your kids, keep them safe, you think you can that’s the stupid thing, you actually think you can

Sophie: yeah well you was good today weren’t you, sticking up for us and everything

Sally: it’s a very tough world out there, I mean any kind of different is dangerous

Sophie: I know

Sally: if I could wave a magic wand, right now and make you normal, I’m telling you I’d do it but I can’t so I’m just going to have to wait for the shock to wear off and in time I’ll get used to a different sort of normal

Sophie: ey, I loved them dungarees, I even slept in them sometimes. Do you think that’s what did it?

Sally: Sian, why don’t we get you parents over later

Sophie: for what, round 2?

Sally: no for a talk, look I’ve been thinking, I mean we can’t go on like this can we? I mean it’s fine you stopping over here for a few days, but we can’t go on forever can we

Sian: yeah but you saw what my dad was like yesterday

Sally: well we’ll make sure your mum is here too

Sian: yeah and what good is that going to do

Sally: well he’s slept on it, he’s bound to be calmer

Sian: oh I don’t know

Sally: what’s your mums number?

Sally: morning

Rita: hello love

Norris: Sally, I hear your daughters back safe and sound after her well, divertissement

Sally: if I knew what that meant Norris I might be able to answer you

Norris: what was the reasoning behind the disappearance

Sally: I just came in to get something for my cousins birthday

Sally: well you can hardly pretend it’s a well kept secret that your daughters gay

Rita: Norris, why don’t you go and put the kettle on

Norris: I’m not thirsty

Rita: well I am…now then Sally love, how you feeling?

Sally: fine

Rita: well I was just wondering do you fancy going for a coffee later at Roy’s?

Rita: you must be glad to have Sophie back, is Sophie gay? Well how wonderful, how wonderful that you bought her up so well, she knows her own mind and what she wants from life and bright enough to get her head around it. Not so easy for the likes of you and me though ey? And isn’t it great that this is 2010 and she hasn’t got to hide anything, like she would have hen I was younger, and when you were younger

Sally: she’s my baby

Rita: and that hasn’t changed

Sally: I phoned in work, I told Carla the truth that I couldn’t come in because of what had happened and do you know what she said I understand Sally because my niece is a dyke, I mean gay is bad enough, lesbian I struggle with but dyke, why are there so many words for it? Words that sound so hateful, I mean why can’t she just be normal

Rita: she is normal Sally

Sally: she’s a pretty girl she’s got lovely hair, long hair and she wears make up

Rita: oh Sally

Sally: I can’t be honest with her, I can’t tell her I’m struggling with it, if I tell her the truth she’s going to run of again. Pretending is just killing me

 

Kevin: alright

Janet: hiya Sian

Sian: hiya

Kevin: Vinnie

Vinnie: alright

Janet: ah Sian

Vinnie: yeah alright less of the waterworks

Janet: Vinnie

Kevin: look we’ve asked you round here to try and clear the air a bit

Vinnie: I’m not stopping here

Janet: you are

Sophie: come on Sian

Vinnie: we’ve got nothing to say on the matter

Janet: speak for yourself

Vinnie: oh I stand corrected, yeah I’ve got plenty to say, it’s just you two might not like to hear it because you’re a pair of bleeding heart liberals

Kevin: what?

Sally: how do you take your coffee?

Janet: white, one sugar

Kevin: Vinnie?

Vinnie: I don’t want anything of yours mate

Janet: he has a white, two sugars

Sally: I’ve got some nice biscuits, would you like to sit soft?

Julie: anywho, what Sally like, bunking off, just because their Sophie’s on your bus. I mean you think she would be thrilled. She likes being a cut above that one

Sean: I fell like I should go and talk to them

Julie: as a fellow homosexualist

Sean: I just think it might help, let them know how my mum and dad reacted

Fizz: yeah maybe you should

Julie: oh I remember when my cousin Christopher told me, he was dressed as Liza-Minnelli, he took my hand and he said

Sean: are you blind Julie

Julie: I’m not like other men juge

Fizz: juge?

Julie: oh it’s what he always called me, it was short for juganoshkatwinkletoes, it’s a gay thing

Sean: no it’s not

Vinnie: I know who’s fault this is

Janet: yours for dragging her to too many football matches

Kevin: it’s nobodies fault

Vinnie: it’s yours, for making her go to that church all the time

Janet: since when did going to church turn you gay?

Vinnie: blokes in dresses, it’s not right

Janet: oh shut up Vinnie

Sally: hey, they’re in the conservatory they can here you, you know

Vinnie: she needs kicking into touch

Sally: she needs your support

Kevin: look we know it’s hard to get your head around, don’t think it never knocked us for six but they love each other

Vinnie: and you think this is alright do you?

Kevin: so what if I do? There’s no law against it

Sally: no there has never been a law against lesbians I’ve googled it

Vinnie: there should be a law against you two, encouraging it under your own roof

Sian: dad!

Kevin: you don’t come in to my house and speak to me like that

Sophie: you tell him dad

Vinnie: you invited me, you begged me to stay, you want locking up

Kevin: Sophie’s no fool you know

Sian: yeah and neither am I

Vinnie: no but she’s twisted my daughters mind, she’s abused her

Sophie: oh, shut your mouth

Sian: get a grip

Kevin: get out

Vinnie: Sian’s 15

Sian: I’m 16 actually, that just shows how much you know

Kevin: get out before I throw you out

Janet: Vinnie, I think you better go, you’re being no good to nobody

Vinnie: you don’t scare me mate

Kevin: I’m not your mate, Vinnie

Vinnie: do you know what you sit around here, saying it’s all ok, do your worst, get the weirdo’s married of for all I care because guess what

Janet: he’s always liked the sound of his own voice

Vinnie: I’m over it, I wash my hands of you

Sian: yeah snap

Vinnie: you’re not my daughter anymore

Janet: now you can see why we split up

Sophie: Sian, I hate this. All we seem to be doing is just.. upsetting people.

Sian: Do you know what, stuff ‘em. I can pack school in, I can get a job, get a flat.. we can live together Sophie, you and me

Sophie: Sian, you can’t just give everything up, chuck everything away, just like that, just because of me

Sian: It’s not just because of you is it, it’s because of me. Because of them in there, my so-called mum and dad, my so-called family, and my so-called life

Sophie: Look, they’ll come round to the idea. I bet any money on it

Sian: There’s not enough money in the world to bet on that one.

Janet: look I know it comes out all wrong but he means well

Sally: well he didn’t seem that well-meaning before

Janet: and I kind of know where he’s coming from, I mean the age of them, Sally

Sally: I mean, I might not go to church like you do Janet but I did bring both my girls up with very good morals

Rosie: ah my god, I have never been poked and prodded so much in my life, hey babe, if I had a pound for every guy that pinched my bum today,I could get a boob job the size of Jordan

Janet: hi

Rosie: don’t look down your nose at me, Rosie went to private school

Janet: which one, St Trinians?

Sally: I can’t see why Sian can’t live with you, I’m sure she would absolutely love that, I mean you are her mother

Janet: look I’ve got no problem with our Sian being a gay, each to their own I say it’s just…

Sally: well hallelujah at that, at last

Janet: well things are really hard at the moment, I’ve got this new partner, he’s just moved in

Sian: I don’t want to live with you anyway

Janet: joesph they call him, sells fruit machines, place is full of them

Sian: my bedroom is full of them you mean

Sally: well if her own mother doesn’t want her

Janet: don’t make me out to be the villain; I’m a good mother

Sally: oh yeah your love life is more important than your daughter

Janet: well she never went without did you Sian?

Sally: well she’s going without a roof over her head

Janet: I’ve never had much luck in my life have I Sian?

Sian: oh so it’s you I get that from is it?

Janet: and I really want to make a go of it with joesph

Sally: I wonder why you ever had kids in the first place

Janet: thanks for the tea, only er

Rosie: I don’t understand what the problem is, lesbians are well cool, especially the lipstick ones

Janet: I’ve got no problem with lesbians, no matter what flavour they come in, you know where I am if you need me love

Sian: Thank you Sally, for sticking up for me with my mum and dad, I wish they were like you, I wish you were my mum

Sally: don’t say that Sian, I’m hardly mother Theresa

Sian: no I mean it

Sally: do you need to get some more stuff from your dads? You can stay here as long as you want obviously under the condition that you behave yourselves

Rosie: yeah so that means no ripping each others clothes off while we’re watching midsummer murders

Sally: Rosie

Sophie: come on we took the vow of chastity, lets go and unpack some more of your stuff ey

Sian: ok, thank you

Rosie: oh isn’t it great

Sally: what?

Rosie: the whole lesbo vibe I love it

Sally: I hope you don’t turn into one and all

Kevin: hows it going?

Sally: I hate this

Kevin: you’re doing great

Sally: no I’m not I keep thinking

Kevin: what?

Sally: she’ll never have a family

Kevin: look it’s different from when we were young, course she can have a family,  she can have as many kids as she wants, adoption…

Sally: oh alright, you don’t have to go into detail

Sian: yeah well you do but you can’t do everything can you. I really just think we should go home

Sian: right my dad is not Kevin, he is not going to understand this and when he doesn’t understand something he kicks of big style

Sophie: what are we going to do then ey? Where we going to go? Where we going to sleep?

Sian: I don’t know but I will think of something, okay? Promise

Sian: so beggers can’t be choosers

Mickey: you’ll have to sleep on the floor

Sian: that all right with us isn’t Soph

Mickey: if you’re interested give me a shout

Sian: thank you…Sophie

Sophie: yeah well I don’t care Sian we hardly know him, what if he’s some kind of perv or something

Sian: he’s alright and anyway it’s not like he’s living on his own, there’s ten other students

Sophie: I suppose there’s safety in numbers

Sian: exactly and it’s only going to be for a night or two, yeah…yes

Rita: hello Kevin, love any news?

Kevin: no the police have no new leads

Norris: you want to get it on cimewatch

Kevin: not been a crime though has there, they’ve only ran away

Rita: Sophie’s a sensible girl I’m sure she’ll be alright, thanks love

Kevin: see you

Rita: bye

Sian: when you said it wasn’t five star luxury, I didn’t…

Mickey: I wasn’t kidding…Craig leaves his keys every time he gets trashed

Sophie: and does Craig get trashed a lot

Gabby: only every night

Mickey: Gabby, lets just say we’re not on our landlords Christmas card list, bathroom through there, kitchen this way…Daddy’s home

Craig: one bowl of sugar puffs all day

Mickey: Craig, Sophie, Sian

Sophie and Sian: hi

Craig: hi

Mickey: go on son, weave your magic

Craig: ah nice one

Sophie: is that?

Mickey: from work? Past it’s sell by

Sophie: and what if the boss finds out?

Mickey: she won’t

Craig: the boss should pay him a proper wage

Sian: yeah and me

Sophie: yeah but

Mickey: It’s not robbing Soph, not really

Sian: it’s recycling

Mickey: exactly, recycling in a throw away world, I’ll er put them in the west wing Craig

Mickey: sorry about the bed

Sian: let me guess did Craig break it trampolining

Mickey: gabby actually, trampolining for two, if you catch my drift

Sophie: nice

Sian: we’ll be fine with this lot on the floor thank you because we’ve got a sleeping bag anyway

Mickey: ah cool, come through to the lounge when you’re ready, couple of beers before we head out

Sian: great thank you…will you crack a smile he didn’t have to put us up

Sophie: I don’t like it

Sian: and I do

Sophie: come on Sian the whole place stinks of weed, I’m sure that Craig guy was skinning up as we walked past the lounge

Sian: it’s there house and they can do what they want when they’re paying rent because we’re not

Sophie: I just

Sian: Soph don’t

Sophie: be honest was home worst than this

Sian: er, yes

Sophie: be honest

Sian: alright well I had a bed at home

Sophie: yeah a bed, hot water, a bath without a flaming tree growing in the middle of it

Sian: er, but I didn’t have you did I? and I never will if I go back now because my dad will have me under house arrest until I’m old enough to get my pension, we might not like everything they do but they are not forcing us to join in

Sophie: yeah well what if he asks you to steal of off Mrs Griffiths

Sian: um he's not Fagin, and it’s probably just blag to impress us because he calls a living room a lounge and he’s probably got a grade 8 in piano and his parents probably live in Surrey

Sophie: he’s probably got a sister with a pony called toots

Sian: toots? What are you on?

Sophie: I don’t know it’s all this passive smoking, it’s going to my head

Rosie: thank you, my private education was not wasted, I do understand people

Sunita: I need a quick word, Ashley, did you hear about Simon?

Ashley: what about him?

Sunita: he had a fight with Aadi over a toy and that’s how he got hurt

Ashley: so it wasn’t Claire or Sophie?

Sunita: no it was no ones fault, it was just an accident, and we shouldn’t have said those things

Ashley: no you shouldn’t

Sunita: no excuses, we were wrong, please tell Claire how sorry I am, really

Ashley: I was going to phone you, it was Simon he had a bit of a scrap with Aadi and that’s how he got hurt

Claire: really?

Ashley: well this is good news, it had nothing to do with you or Sophie

Claire: yeah

Ashley: and your going to be getting a lot of apologies, from Sunita and Peter

Claire: that doesn’t matter, what matters now is my two boys, now come here

Ashley: it’s good to have you back, we’ve missed you

Claire: I missed you too, I shouldn’t have run away

Kevin: I could have swung for Dev, as if either of them could have hurt a kid, where’s Sal put my sarnies?

Rosie: so did you tell them? Why they really ran away

Kevin: it’s none of their business is it

Rosie: what that you two are anti-gays

Kevin: we are nothing of the sort

Rosie: yeah until it come to your own daughter

Kevin: oh shut up and eat your breakfast

Rosie: she could have gone to aunt Debbies

Kevin: not likely to have gone there, besides she would have told us

Rosie: well, not if they made something up

Er, listen you’ve not heard anything from our Sophie have you?

Kevin: just lay off will you, I don’t care what they are, I just want them back safe and sound

Sally: well if you could let me know if she gets in touch, thanks bye

Kevin: no luck

Sally: I’m scraping the barrow now, I’m ringing friends she hardly knows

Kevin: at least they know to keep a look out

Sally: it’s only a waste of time, if she was with somebody responsible, they would have rung now and said she was alright

Kevin: it’s 8 o’clock, if she arrived somewhere late last night

Sally: they still would have rung, it’s all my fault

Kevin: ay, it’s not

Sally: if she hadn’t been terrified about what I said

Kevin: Sally stop blaming yourself

Sally: my own daughter and she can’t talk to me

Rosie: no news

Kevin: no, we’ve rung everyone we can think of, I was up till 2 this morning searching

Rosie: I would say happy birthday dad but

Kevin: thanks, some birthday ay,

Rosie: well if she’s anything like me mum when I ran away, she’ll soon come to her senses

Kevin: yeah Rosie’s right

Sally: yeah and if something happens to her before then, what then?

Police officer: you’ve rung absolutely everyone she knows?

Sally: we’ve just drawn blanks, that’s a recent picture of her by the way

Police officer: how is she for money

Sally: well she’s got a couple of hundred in a savings account, as far as I know that’s it. I don’t know whether Sian has anything

Police officer: and can you think of any reason why she might have run away

Sally: she left this note

Police officer: we had to get away, please understand, what does she mean?

Sally: Sophie and Sian have had a very close friendship just lately, it has something to do with that

Police officer: well, most girls have got a very close friendship with someone

Sally: it’s more than that, I don’t know how to put it, they have feelings for one another

Police officer: you mean they’re…

Kevin: we think they might be lesbians

Police officer: I see

Bill: so it’s true

Sally: I thought it had just been gossip but she told Kevin yesterday, she was worried that I wouldn’t approve, we think that’s why they’ve gone

Police officer: okay well we’ll get these details circulated

Kevin: what are the odds of finding her?

Police officer: most people that run away come back fairly quickly

Sally: and the rest?

Police officer: I can’t generalise Mrs Webster, every police force in the country will be notified as well as all the missing persons agencies, we’ll do everything we can to find your daughter

Bill: it will just be a phase they are going through

Kevin: maybe

Bill: it’s got to be, she’s had boyfriends

Kevin: if you do Weatherfield, I’ll look in Manchester

Bill: alright, no sweat

Lloyd: everything ok, Kev?

Kevin: nah, our Sophie’s run away from home

Michelle: oh no

Lloyd: when was this?

Kevin: last night with her mate Sian

Michelle: have you told the police?

Kevin: there’s only so much they can do, isn’t there, me and my dad are going to have a look for her now

Lloyd: I’ll get Eileen to put out an alert

Bill: ay, brilliant

Michelle: yeah and if there’s anything I can do Kevin

Kevin: thanks

Ashley: have you heard the latest?

Claire: what?

Ashley: Sophie and Sian have run away from home

Claire: no

Ashley: because they’re lesbians folk are saying

Claire: when was this?

Ashley: yesterday evening

Claire: another thing I’ll get the blame for I suppose

Ashley: you didn’t turn them

Claire: no but I did blow their cover

Ashley: you’ve done nothing wrong

Claire: I know one thing, you were right when you said I was taking on to much, if I’d listened to you none of this would have happened

Ashley: I just wonder if there’s more to this than meets the eye

Claire: how do you mean?

Ashley: maybe Sophie and Sian have done something to hurt Aadi and that’s why they’ve run away

Claire: surely not

Ashley: makes more sense than them running away because they are gay

Claire: oh I wish I could run away somewhere

Michelle: well, I thought I knew Sian, I mean she went out with our Ryan

Leanne: did he never expect anything?

Michelle: he never said ought to me

Rita: well this is all idle speculation till we know the whole story

Norris: I don’t know why everyone’s so surprised, there isn’t a young women round here who’s not normal

Rita: you see you’ve set him of now

Norris: but it’s true, look at her sister Rosie, she walks around half naked and Tina lived in a darkened room with a mentally ill window cleaner

Rita: he was quite happy with his banknote till you came in

Norris: yeah a bank note from Becky’s sister, I am amazed you didn’t check it was a fake

Michelle: well I’m with you on that one Norris, she’s a nightmare

Rita: is it a fake?

Norris: well the watermark seems alright and the foil strip doesn’t tear

Rita: so it’s not a fake?

Norris: yeah so we were lucky, this time

Leanne: you know I had a crush on a girl when I was 13, well it was more hero worship than anything, I soon grew out of it

Michelle: well the important thing is that they don’t come to any harm

Rita: exactly

Claire: she’s still giving me the evil eye

Ashley: just ignore her

Claire: so much for a relaxing drink

Rita: she’s a sensible girl and from what I know of Sian she’s the same, they are not going to do anything stupid

Sally: if only I’d realised what the were going through

Rita: Sally, you couldn’t be a better mother if you tried, stop reproaching yourself

Sally: Lloyd any news?

Lloyd: afraid not no

Michelle: is this Sophie?

Lloyd: yeah all we can do is keep looking

Eddie: funny isn’t it that, them running of like that

Ashley: oh hilarious

Eddie: no I’m on your side, everyone’s calling Claire for what happened to Dev’s kid but your not telling me them two lasses didn’t have something to do with it

Sally: ay, I beg your pardon

Eddie: well, why else would they run off unless they’ve got something to hide

Rita: come on Sally we don’t have to listen to this and you keep your grubby little thoughts to yourself in future, ok, come on Sally

Michelle: do you know what Eddie, you should have one of them spam filters fitted, you know between your brain and your gob

Anna: ay, Ashley, Claire have you heard heard about Sophie and Sian?

Ashley: yes

Anna: well sorry

Claire: there’s no getting away from it anywhere

Dev: is that the best news ever or what

Kid: yeah

Sunita: that is the best news ever

Claire: hiya how’s Aadi?

Sunita: much better thanks, should have him home next week

Dev: so glad you care

Ashley: look we’ve had enough of this victimization, it’s making Claire ill

Dev: ah

Sunita: Dev didn’t mean anything funny

Ashley: do you know Sophie and Sian have run away? If they had a clear conscience about Aadi, why would they do that?

Rosie: hello, Sophie, Sophie where are you? Sophie are you alright? Mum and dad have been out of their minds, they’ve had the police round and everything. Right where are you? And is Sian with you? Right where did you stay last night?

Sally: is that Sophie? Sophie where are you? Uh listen I’m sorry if you, Sophie? She’s hung up

Kevin: it’s no good, just keeps ringing out

Sally: are you sure she didn’t give you any clue as to where she was?

Rosie: yes positive

Sally: well didn’t you think to ask her?

Rosie: well I might have done mum if you hadn’t snatched the phone of me

Sally: I can’t believe she rang off

Kevin: maybe she just ran out of change

Sally: she hung up on me Kevin, she couldn’t bear to talk to me, why didn’t you explain to her that I wasn’t angry?

Rosie: if I hadn’t made her promise to call I doubt she would have rang at all

Kevin: what are you talking about?

Rosie: I saw her when she was doing a runner

Kevin: so why didn’t you tell us?

Sally: or why didn’t you stop her more like?

Rosie: because there was o stopping her because she was determined to go and you know what I really don’t blame her, she knew that you wouldn’t understand and she was right

Sally: that’s not true, there’s nothing she could do that I wouldn’t forgive

Rosie: mum she’s done nothing to forgive, she just wants to be herself and you can’t hack that and she knows it

Sunita: he’ll be home soon, thank god, it’s over

Dev: no not until those girls have paid for what they’ve done

Sunita: we don’t know they’ve done anything

Dev: don’t we? By running away they might aswell have signed the confession

Sunita: not necessarily, there could be other reasons

Dev: such as

Sunita: Claire was telling the truth when she said they were having a relationship

Dev: what, how do you?

Sunita: right under my nose in the shop, you couldn’t fail to miss it

Dev: and how long has this been going on

Sunita: for months I reckon

Dev: what she’s lied to her mum all this time, over and over again and took her for a fool

Sunita: she was scared, they both were

Dv: scared well how scared do you think they’d be after almost killing our son? How willing they were to tell more lies to cover their tracks, listen this does not make them less guilty it makes them more so, yes, yes

Sally: how does she expect me to react? Put up a bunting throw a coming out party

Rosie: she just wants to fill loved

Sally: she is and she always will be but she’s a child, she’s too young to be making decisions like this

Rosie: mum it isn’t a decision

Sally: isn’t it, I mean girls her age all fads and passing fancies, you used to walk around like something out of the Addams family but you grew out of it

Rosie: well I’m nothing like Sophie and plus you don’t just grow out of your sexuality

Kevin: block picked it up, it’s a payphone in town, I’m going there now

Rosie: I’m coming

Kevin: no you stay here with your mum, let me know if Sophie calls back, it will be alright love

Rosie: mum, at least Sophie’s still into girly stuff like clothes and makeup and that

Sally: what

Rosie: well you know she’s really quite feminine, she’s not like Doc Martins and flannel shirts and that

Sally: and you lecture me on prejudice

Rosie: ah, no luck then

Kevin: nope, it was round the corner from the coach station

Sally: ah no

Kevin: someone in the café remembered seeing them but didn’t know where they were going

Sally: they are going to be miles away by now

Kevin: I’ve narrowed it down a bit, there was only three departures from her call to me getting there

Sally: great, so there somewhere between here and Bournemouth or Leeds and Glasgow

Kevin: at least it’s a start, the police are going to check the CCTV at the coach station, see which bus they boarded and try and work out when they were going to get off from the time they bought the ticket

Sally: they’ll have got to ground by then, they could be sleeping god knows where, it’s dangerous on the streets especially for young girls

Kevin: Sophie’s got a good head on her shoulders

Rosie: yeah dad’s right mum she won’t go taking any risks

Sally: what the hell do you think this is? I just want her home Kevin, I just want her home

Dev: I’m going to go and have a word

Sunita: no let me handle this, we don’t want  confrontation

Dev: no I want the truth and quite frankly I’m not fussed how we get it, Sally

Sally: yes

Sunita: Sally sorry to bother you, I know you’re going through a difficult time

Dev: yeah is it true that your Sophie’s run away

Sally: that’s right but I’m sure she’ll be back soon

Dev: yeah you think so, she said anything about what happened to my son?

Sally: like what exactly?

Dev: you want me to fill in the blanks

Kevin: one more crack like that and I’ll fill you in pal

Sally: look, I know what you’re thinking and what people are saying but I’m telling you this, I’m proud of my daughter because whatever else she is she is a good kid with a good heart, she is no liar and she would never ever do anything to harm another human being let alone a child

Sunita: we know that Sally

Sally: I don’t think you do, any of you and that is one of the reasons she is out there now, a frightened kid who doesn’t know where to turn. Now I’m sorry for what happened to your child but I swear if I hear any of you making vile accusations at my daughter again it will be me you have to hold back not my husband

Sunita: happy now…come on
