Spend the night
Mollie's POV
"so how's it going with our new best friend's?" Frank asks. "going great! Isn't taking as long as I thought it would" I smile proudly
"how do you mean?"
"well yesterday, thay had a little problem and the first person they came to for help was me. Even trusted me with the kid!" I smile. "what kind of problem?" he frowns and I explain everything that happened with their son and Michael's sister and me putting it in their heads, their families were all in on it.
"perfect! the more we isolate them from the families the quicker it'll be to break them once Robert finally croaks" he smiles. "what about you and Ocean? You two had any personal girlie chats yet?"
"I've tried but, she doesn't say a lot.. I but!" I smile "I stayed over a few nights ago and managed to accidentally catch them.. You know. without them noticing" I smirk. "well?" Frank shrugs. And I tell him all the details.
"looks like we can add a few more zero's on them he smiles. "and with them being so young, we'd make twice as much as the others" I smile excitedly.

Ocean's POV
We've come for our with DJ and so nobody has mentioned anything about DJ going missing yesterday. We're sat playing legos with DJ and Nevaeh and I can feel my mothers eyes staring at us like she knows "So what did you two get up to yesterday?" she asks casually. "nothing, we stayed home all day" I lie. "no visitor's?"
"nope" I shake my head sensing her trying to catch me out. "so nothing interesting?" she fakes a smile in front of Abby, who's clearly clueless about anything that happened yesterday. "we just stayed home and watched movies" Michael cuts in "anything interesting that's been happening with DJ this week?" he asks raising and eyebrow and she shakes her head "nope. Duncan's been just fine" she smiles through pursed lips. Looking at us skeptically. I thought Mollie was just being paranoid when she said my parents were trying to set us up yesterday to see if we'd bring DJ back, but seeing my mothers reaction makes me think otherwise. If she didn't know where DJ was and Janet took him the way she said she did. Then why wasn't she flipping out trying to ban us from seeing DJ again?. She must have known where he was. We had DJ for 3 hours! and their weren't even any police around when we took him back.
*****
After our visit with DJ we head over to see Michael's parents. "so do you think they set it up like Mollie's said?" I turn to Michael and he shakes his head. "I'm not sure, but somethings not right. DJ was missing for 3 hours! She must have known where he was otherwise why wouldn't she call the police?...unless maybe she didn't want Abbie to find out" he tries to think of any other explanation "I doubt even my mother would refused to call the police if she thought DJ was really missing. She had to have known. Who would just sit back and do nothing when a baby goes missing like that"
"well I'm gonna do speak to Janet when we get to my parents. If she's hiding something I'll know"

Ray's POV
I'm sitting waiting in the apartment and Frank finally gets here. "Michael and Ocean not around? Michael sent me a text saying they needed more dope and some pills" he asks confused looking around. "they went to see their parents today, but Mike left me the money" I smile slightly handing it over "didn't know they were close with their families" he says casually. "their not. They have visits with their kid on Saturday"
"doesn't she live with them here?" he frowns confused "their daughter does but they had a son when they were younger but Ocean's mom has him" I shrug. "what about Mike's parents they close?"
"nah, they kicked them out after they lost the kid and he dad found out they were doing coke. Why?" I ask confused by his sudden interest in Michael and Ocean. "no reason, just didn't know they'd been dating that long to have 2 kids" he shrugs. "they've been together a long time. they actually got married when they had the first one when she was like 15" I shrug.
Frank sticks around for a while like always so it doesn't look suspicious to the neighbours him coming and going so quickly. And we sit talking for awhile before he leaves. After he goes I go into Michael and Ocean's room and leave the pills and dope they asked Frank for on the night stand so they'll see it when they get back, then head back into the living room.

Michael's POV
We've been at my parents for over an hour now and I still haven't managed to get Janet alone. She keeps looking at me and Ocean nervously an I want to approach the subject softly so I don't get her upset or make her think I'm mad at her.
"so how did your visit with DJ go?" Joseph asks bringing me from my thoughts "it went good. Abby said next week we can spend the whole day there" I smile "that's great news! Pretty soon You'll be able to take him out alone again" my mother smiles.
Janet suddenly gets up and makes her way upstairs without saying a word and everyone looks at each other confused. "it's probably us talking about DJ" LaToya sighs. "I'll go talk to her" I smile heading upstairs finally getting her alone.
I go upstairs to her room and Janet's sat at the end of her bed crying. "hey, what's wrong?" I ask softly walking over and sit beside her. "are you and Ocean gonna tell mother and Joseph I skipped school and took DJ?"
"of course not! Is that why you think we came here?" I ask softly and she nods. "Dunk, we came here because wanted to come see you not to get you in trouble. Who's idea was all of that anyway?"
"mine" she shrugs "just you? None of your friends or somebody else you know?"
"no. it was just me.... are you two mad at me?" She asks worriedly and I smile shaking my head. "of course not! We got to see you and DJ, we can't be mad at that" I smile. "promise?"
"I promise... Speaking of promise. Do you remember the promises we made to each other yesterday?" I ask her in a soft but more serious tone. "mhm. You promised me, you wouldn't tell about DJ and me skipping school and I promised I would tell about the needle you and Ocean were practicing being doctors with or that your staying with Ocean's brother"
"that's right! And we've kept our promise. Can we trust you to keep yours?"
"mhm.. I didn't even write it in my secret diary" she nods smiling.
*******
we weren't planning on staying long at my parents house and mainly went over there to make sure Janet hasn't said anything about what she saw, but my mother insisted we stay for dinner.
while we're eating I notice LaToya keep staring at us. "are you two ok? You don't look so good. Your all sweaty and snotty" she asks concerned. "mhm.. Where just tired" Ocean smiles through pursed lips. "we should probably get going soon" I add "why don't we take Nevaeh for the night? Your both clearly sick" Joseph cuts in. "we're fine, we just need to go home and get some sleep" I reassure him. "well you can stay here! We'll set the crib up in our room and watch Nevaeh and you two can have the guest room to yourselves so you can get some rest" my mother smiles. "there's really no need, we don't..." Ocean begins, but gets cut of my Joseph. "it's settled then. Your all spending the night"
"yay! Your sleeping over!" Janet says excitedly and Ocean and look ay each nervously. "we didn't bring enough for Nevaeh to stay over we need diapers and..."
"we'll have to go to the store and gets some" I cut her off and she looks at me confused."well we'll look after Nevaeh untill you get back LaToya smiles picking her up.

"why the fuck did you say we'd stay!?" Ocean snaps when we get in the car. "because you know what mothers like. She won't drop it untill we stay"
"and what are we supposed to do now? They think we're only going to the store and we can't get Ray to bring it here can we?"
"it'll be fine. We still still have some in the car remember?" I smile opening the glove box. "we can do it now before we go back and mother and Joseph said they'd have Nevaeh in their room tonight. So we can do it in our room later too"
"and what if someone comes in? Don't you remember what happened when you dad found out we were doing coke? If he walks and sees us doing..."
"they won't" I cut her off "they think we're sick remember? So they'll leave us alone to 'rest.'.. Plus we can lock the door" I smile and lean over to kiss her. "we'll be fine. We have enough for tonight" I reassure her. "plus!... With Nevaeh sleeping in my parents room instead of with us, that means we won't have to wait untill everybody's out or sneak in the living room when their all sleeping to....." I wiggle my eyebrows playfully making her giggle.
