“Ssh, shut up, don’t wake Ben or Mike.” Said a voice Ben knew was Richard.
“What are you gonna do to them?” Johnny asked.
“Nothing,” Richard whispered back, “Just don’t want them interfering, c’mon guys.” The door to the bedroom opened, letting in a shaft of light which allowed Ben to see three figures, Richard, Nathan and Luke, leave the room. Ben relaxed slightly, glad that their plan clearly had nothing to do with him, and was able to quickly drift back off to sleep.
When Ben woke up the next morning and went to take a clean T-shirt from his rucksack he knew something wasn’t right, the zip was wide open, even though he knew he had closed it the night before. He looked inside it to see if anything was missing, and he filled with dread when he realised his nappies were gone. All of them.
