Suburban Ways: Episode 3
Scene: The Club
Hannah stood folding her arms from the morning after. She had not slept, not slept at all. In fact she did not have anywhere to sleep. “Well here I am again” she said. Mickey walked through the door. “Did you not sleep at all?”
“Does it look like that I slept all I was thinking was the abuse I got from my ex-husband!”
“Yes talking about that, you never told me!”
“You never asked” said Hannah. Hannah sat down.
“I looked at our sale figures last night and they were rocket high on the first night, if we keep going will rise by the end of month. Keep these singers, getting them notice is the best thing we could do at the minute” she said.
“Well Martha would be pleased” she glared.
“She is a part of this as us both it’s in her name!”
“Who put the capital in? Tell me that whose names are on there, frankly Mickey I think she is taking you for a ride!”
“Don’t whatever you doing don’t make this personal against the family. This is business not a fight between your ex in laws.”
Scene: The Robinson’s
Jackson sat with a cup of coffee in his hand. Martha walked into the room. “Morning” she said. “Morning, what happened to you, look like you didn’t get much sleep” she rolled her eyes at him. “Where’s Mickey?”
“Left quite early should have stayed there at the club if he was going to be this early” Jackson handed her the craftier. “Coffee? Looks like you need one” She got a mug from the side as he poured. “Where is everyone?”
“Asleep, still in fact I am the only one working” he said grumpily.
“I’m going to go to work and please tell mom not to bother to come because I don’t have the time to –“
“Don’t what!” Martha turned round as she saw her mother standing there. Jackson looked at his watch. “Oh time to go I think” he said. He got up, kissed Martha and then kissed his mother goodbye.
Scene: The Airport
“Flight B757 from Heathrow has arrived” Ken Robinson stood at arrivals waiting for his new fiancé Jasmine Blake. Jasmine had come from England to join him at Riverside. Jasmine came through the doors with open arms. “Oh hey darling” she said as she kissed him. “Hi sweetheart” he said.
“How was your flight?”
“You know the same, movies and food and drink of course” she giggled. “So tell me how was the club opening?”
“Oh it was interesting except that my darling ex wife turned up!”
“Number one or number two?”
“Number one” said Ken, she looked bemused.
Scene; the Robinson’s
“As I said last night-“
“What you said last night was out of order; you had no right to tell me to withdraw. He had no idea that Hannah was part of the family and what she did to Ken.”
Joyce stood twiddling her fingers. “Are you not going to listen to reason what I think, what your father thinks?” Martha shook her head and walked over to her holding her shoulders. “Mom we’re growing children and we have to find out to do things on our own. Make mistakes. Well i made plenty of mistakes in the past but I am looking to the future.” Joyce looked down.
“I was only trying...”
“I know you are mom, I know” she hugged her mother tightly.
Scene: The Club
Hannah was ready to leave as she did so; she saw Cassandra Robinson standing at the door in her way. “Oh it’s you. We’re closed come back tonight” she said.
“I am not going anywhere Miss Badhman I want to know where the father of my child is!”
Cassandra followed Hannah. “Why don’t you people leave me alone?”
“Because you never left us alone!”
“I’m making a stand for them. They are my family” she called out.
“Your family, you don’t have any family Cassandra they have ousted you just like they did to me and Joyce will do anything to protect her sons and daughters!”
“Its Cliff he is protecting me against people like you!” Hannah paused for a moment. “Cliff what is so special about him!”
“Cliff has looked after us!”
“But they don’t know do they still. They don’t know about Cody being Robert’s son not Ken’s!”
“Don’t you put a stop to that you promised you would not tell?” She said. Hannah laughed.
“You should know me by now dear that I don’t take any prisoners!”
“I just want to know where the father of my child is!”
“I make you wait just a little longer!”
“Damn you!”
“No damn you, now get out!” Cassandra left the club hysterical.
Scene: The Robinson’s
“Jasmine” said Joyce as she greeted her son’s new love with excitement. “Hi Joyce” she said. “It’s good to see you again” she smiled.
“How was England?”
“Oh you know the same snow, wind and rain” she laughed. “So I hear the new club opening was a blast!” They all looked bemused all except Martha and Joyce.
“Well apart from that it went fine, now come along you need some rest, food and then we can go and venture out to the club.
Mickey turned to Martha. “Your mom is causing trouble all ready, she wants to go
again tonight!”
“Look I try my best to keep her out of the way but I to do not want another shouting match with her and Hannah.”
Scene: The Club That Night
A car pulled up outside the club door. He got out of the car and handed the keys to the bouncer. The man smiled and walked straight in. He noticed people dancing, drinking and having fun and that’s what he intended to do. He paced over to the bar. There beside him was a blonde girl around twenty-five. He smiled. “Maxwell Burns” he said reaching out his hand. “Adele, Adele Robinson” she said. His face was stunned. “Tell me you’re not related to a Joyce Robinson?”
“That’s right she’s my mother!” She said.
“Max!”
Max turned round. “Joyce!” Adele looked at both of them. Then another woman stood beside Joyce.
“Max indeed” she said.
“Who are you?” Adele asked.
“She’s my wife!”
Joyce looked stunned.
