"Do what you got do" Ashton called out making his way to the shower. I rolled my eyes and opened the computer starting to press keys and looking up the guy.

"Found it" I replyed pressing print and waiting of the piece of flimsy white paper to come out.
"Cool" michael said walking in with a bag of chips and throwing himself on the couch. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my phone scrolling through my contacts my hands hoovering over dads number.
I pressed the call button and pressed the phone to my ear looking at my nails. After 3 rings he answered with a breath.
"Ruby maywe know where our daughter is? " he asked and I shrugged.

"Ruby I told you its dangerous, didn't I?" He asked an di shrugged.
"Course you did. I just enjoy doing it" I said leaninv back into the couchm I heard him sigh again..
"Call me or your father when your staying over or something" he said and michael must have heard him because he nodded smiling.

"Alright ill drop the clothes off at 8. Send me the address" he replyed and I nodded saying my goodbye and sending him the address.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
