When Ashleigh first meets Phoenix she is taken back by him and unaware the real reason he is perusing her and it's not just for his own personal needs but bigger. "Phoenix tied Ashleigh's wrists together. 'Pull her up.' They pulled her up tying the rope to a pipe. Her feet hanging inches from the floor. 'Well what's it going to be?' 'No.' Phoenix looked at her. 'Wrong answer.' He pulled out the knife.' 'Don't Phe.' 'Why ever not?' 'You're not your father.' 'No, I'm worse.' He looked at Ashleigh. 'What do you say Ash? Are you in?' 'No.' He raised the knife. 'No Phe she's been through enough.' 'She hasn't been through enough.' 'Don't Phe.' He ignored Kieran's plea. Looking at Ashleigh. 'Maybe this will change your mind.' He slashed her body, she screamed, yet no tears she shed. 'Go out the room guys.' 'But.' 'NOW! Go to Kelley Kieran.' Kieran looked at Ashleigh helplessly as her left the room closing the door behind them. Phoenix slipped the knife into his pocket. He placed his hands on her face. 'I love you you know.' She hung shaking. 'Aren't you going to say you love me too?' 'I love you.'"
Kaleen closed the door behind her walking into the lounge, dropping her keys on the telephone stand. He stood at the window, just as she remembered him. 'Justin.'
He looked at her. 'I wish you'd call me Sandman. It always sounded so sexy coming from you.'
'Why are you here? I thought you were in prison.'
'Day release.'
'So, why are you here?'
'To see my son.'
'Is that such a good idea?'
'He asked me to see him.'
'When?'
'A while back, but I guess he never told you.'
'No he didn't.'
'Where is he?'
'At school.'
'I'll wait then.'
'He's six Justin why now?'
'Because you ignored every damn fucking visiting order that I ever sent you.'
'Do you know how long it took me too get over you?'
'Not long.'
'Too long.'
'And Mark?'
'We're still friends. He picks Phoenix up from school so that I can get sorted before he comes back.'
He spread his hand across the wall. 'When I get released it will just be us, all of us.'
'He'll be sixteen by then Justin.'
'So.'
'I..;
'Promise you'll wait for me.'
'I...'
'Promise me.'

'Dad.'
'Champ.' He said picking him up. 'So how is school?'
'Ace.'
'So where's..'
'Who the hell let you in?'
Sandman looked at Mark though a lot older than he cared to remember he was still a dick. 'The landlord talk about thick,I spun him a yarn about forgetting my keys dumb fuck.'
'You are not welcome.'
'I promised Phoenix I'd see him.'
He looked at Kaleen. 'Kay?'
'I'm sorry Mark.'
'I'll see you tomorrow.'
'Okay.'
'Latershrimp.'

'I've come to see Ashleigh, unless you have a problem with that?'
'Yes I do we talked about this.'
'No you talked I listened.'
'Where's Justin?'
'Sandy's with your sister right now keeping his promise to the little man in his life.'
'But..'
'She obviously didn't try hard enough like you.' He looked dead at her. 'So can I see my daughter, or not?'
'Guess so now you're here.'
He walked forward Ashleigh and Kieran backed behind Candice. 'It's okay honey this is your father.'
