Chapter 10

Helen had good news for Gary and was discharging him into Steve and Patsy’s care. He was to be escorted to Steve’s home very shortly. Patsy and Steve were coming to get him and Patsy is so excited at the thought that she is going to be spending time with her brother tonight. Gavin will be going over to spend part of the evening with them and talk through the situation that they found themselves in. With careful questioning they will be able to work through what happened and if there are any more gangs affiliated with this one.

The situation with gang attacks is getting worse and we have had frequent attacks over the past few months. Steve, Gavin and Dad are very concerned about the safety of the settlement.

"Hurry up and get inside girl, you’re letting the heat out and the cold in. Its cold enough out there tonight anyway."

"I know, feels like a frost, no wind out there and the sky is as clear as a bell and the stars are out already."

I walk across to the fire and put my arms around Gavin and snuggle in close for a hug. He places the poker and spoon on the hearth with a clatter and both arms wrap around me and pull me close to his chest. Looking up I see those blue/green eyes darken with passion and then the world is blotted out as his head descends and his lips gently graze mine. The kiss deepens, only to be abruptly broken as a loud wail sounds from the bedroom. One of the twins is unhappy with something. I reluctantly move away from Gavin and head for the bedroom and find that James is wailing away and Jacqui’s lips are starting to quiver too. I scoop them up and
