This is the intro to a short/long story I'm thinking about:
This is the story of Eddie Left Hook Smith a face from manchester, all he knows is how to survive in the murky world of illegal activities. Everytime he tries to become a straight member, his name and associates drag him back to where he started. His long suffering bird Julie, who's been there through thick and thin, is at breaking point and is going to fuck off with their 2yr old son Dylan.
Eddie has for years been trying to get out of this world and do one to Cornwall,where he use to go as a kid and have the best ever time with his parents. However, all he knows is ducking and diving, doing the tickets and having his hands in every pie Kipling made.
Opportunities come his way everyday which he just takes for granted, but there's a chance of a very serious result coming his way, one that could set him up royal.
Eddie is no mug and he knows the score of the world he lives in, but even the most clued up get distracted.
"Shut that fuckin kid up will you I can't fuckin think." As Eddie nervously look through the small window in the kitchen to make sure everything is sweet. Julie is trying to keep Dylan quiet while her bottom lip quivers as if She's experiencing an earthquake. "What the fuck have you done Eddie, what's in the leather holdall? "Julie i've done it, i've gone and done a runner with the drugs money from the safe in the lockup. "Eddie are you fuckin having a laugh, is this some kind of wind-up? "No Julie straight up i've took the money, I don't know how much is there must be at least Hundred Grand." Eddie runs upstairs to the main bedroom so he scan the street his nerves our working overtime. He clocks a Red Alpha Romeo parked at the end of the street, Can't figure out if the enemy or old bill.
Eddie run downstairs missing steps and heads for the kitchen, Julie is just sitting there looking into space while rocking Dylan to sleep. "Julie we need to get some stuff and fuck off, I dont know how long it will be before the lads find out the moneys gone." Julie just sits there motionless as if dead and won't lie down.
