Newhaven: Week Eight - The Raymond Family
Previously for the Raymond family: Veronica and her son Terry moved in with her new boyfriend Mayhew, and it wasn’t long before she found herself on maternity leave from her new job in the science career and married. Terry celebrated his birthday and begun working with his father in the police force; he began seriously dating Ivory Darcy until she made it clear she had moved onto another. The family welcomed a bouncing baby boy they named James.
Life had been going so well for Veronica until a wrong decision at work lead to her being fired.
Despite how much Newhaven had grown, there were still limited options when it came to employment. As such Veronica felt she had no choice but to take a position in crime; she was, after all, just doing what it took to look after her family.
The irony that her eldest son Terry was working in Law Enforcement was not lost on her.
Aside from helping his father protect the citizens of Newhaven, which honestly seemed to involve a lot of filing, Terry had begun a new relationship with Lillian Chang-Collins. She was several years younger than him, but the two were very much in love, and he assured her he was happy to wait for her.
He was also proving to be an excellent brother to James who had recently begun school. It was a good thing the two got along as the lack of space meant they had to share a room.
James was very playful, although didn’t always have the nice points to realise when someone else wasn’t having enjoying his pranks as much as he was. Despite this he encountered no problems making friends.
Veronica and Raymond were still very much in love. Raymond didn’t ask any questions about his wife’s career and never thought to question the inconsistencies in what she told him. Not having to justify her choices to her husband meant Veronica found dealing with her conscience over her new career much easier.
After finishing his schooling, Terry found himself restless waiting for his girlfriend to do the same. Looking for a way to overcome his boredom, he threw himself into study and improving his fitness, which resulted in him quickly moving up the ranks.
He was soon promoted to detective and asked to investigate the new wave of local crime.
If only he knew how close the culprit truly was.
