Mickey rattles the knocker on number 1. An old West Indian woman calls out from inside.
"Who's that there?" The old woman shouts as the door opens. The woman has a white stick, and a pair of ear pods.
"Who is it? I know you're there. Shame on you, tricking an old lady. I've got nothing worth stealing. And don't think I'm going to disappear! You're not going to take me." She shouts
"Hi." Mickey says nervously
"Is that you?" She asks
"It's me. I came home." Mickey says with a smile
"Ricky?" His grandma asks "And who is this lovely lady beside you?" She adds sending a sweet smile towards Andrea
"It's Mickey." Mickey replies whilst Andrea steps forward to introduce herself."And I'm Andrea"
"I know my own grandson's name. It's Ricky. Now, come here." She says as she brings him into a hug.
"Okay, I'm Ricky. Of course I am. Ricky, that's me." Mickey says before he is slapped in the face causing Andrea to chuckle in amusement.
"Ow!" Mickey says in shock as he rubs his cheek.
"You stupid boy. Where have you been?" His grandma interrogates him
"Ow! Stop hitting me!" Mickey pleads
"It's been days and days! I keep hearing all these stories. People disappearing off the streets. There's nothing official on the download but there're all these rumours, and, and whispers. I thought that God had disappeared you!" She shouts
"Sorry that would be my fault, I asked him to help me with a few things, I didn't realise how long it would take" Andrea says sadly as she shoots Mickey as look getting him to play along as he nods in agreement.
"That carpet on the stairs, I told you to get it fixed. You're going to fall and break your neck." Mickey says sadly
