Out of the chip pan...
We'd left Nick and Lex to negotiating with gang members on behalf of Maeve the Pawn shop owner. Meanwhile Keys and Alt had pilfered some money to also help out Maeve, money from the Doomed Children, an apocalyptic cult that Keys used to be a part of. Unfortunately, the theft was spotted, more of that later.
As things escalated and it looked like either bric-a-brac or bones were going to get broken, Keys and Alt entered the scene. After a tense negotiation, the Tulips backed off, accepting partial payment and promising to return in a few days.
The next day Keys and Alt went to celebrate Emil's coming of age, Emil, a cousin of Keys, was a fully paid up member of the Doomed Children. Keys rolled out some soft, sweet potato like treats for the kids whilst Alt tended a barbecue; fish and chips cooked over dried dog turds, the smell permeated the gathering, and Alt pulled the makeshift mask tighter across his mouth.
The party and rituals continued on, until the music stopped and a crackle was heard as the radio burst into life, “Welcome all to Breath of Fresh Air and today's thought for the day. Why would an ex-Doomed Child steal from the aforementioned cult, is it retribution? Or Karma? Or proof that leaving the path of righteousness leads to a failure of ones moral turpitude? We really need to get Keys on to the show for an exclusive interview! Where are you Keys? Has anyone seen them?”
The congregation had turned to stare at Keys, Fran Krol was on the stage purple faced, a near snarl on her lips as she glared at Keys. Alt entered with plates of fish and chips, looked left and right, as silence descended, between Keys and Krol then threw the plates into the air and shouted at Keys, “LEGGGIT!!!”
After a helter-skelter chase through the tower block, Alt and Keys has dumped their pursuers and met up with Nick and Lex at the Pawn shop. Declan Kemp was also there, seemingly waiting for them.
