Will they be able to find it?<\/p>\n<p>Not them, but someone else. The worst person possible. David and Shona\u2019s daughter, Jodie\u2019s adoring niece, Lily (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner). Once David and Shona are in bed, Lily tiptoes downstairs in search of her console.\u00a0 She reaches under the sofa and pulls out Jodie\u2019s trinket box.<\/p>\n<p>What will she find \u2013 the gun?
