Chapter 3

The first time I went outside, she couldn’t get past the door. I went up to her room and put a couple of her rings in my pocket and tried again. This time, she was able to leave the house. I rode to the Duke, with her sitting in the sidecar. When we arrived, she disappeared after telling me that it would be best that I didn’t see her. It might be odd if I kept looking at an empty space.

In the bar, I saw the barmaid and she saw me.

“Hello, again. You are starting to be a regular.”

Chapter 2

As I gazed on the contents, a female voice spoke to me.

“You’re back!”

I laughed, nervously.

“What’s wrong with my back?”

There was a sound like tinkling bells.

“Most would have screamed or fainted. You did neither. You’re not normal.”

“You’re absolutely right. I’m not normal and I have a doctors’ certificate to prove it!”

This time it sounded more like a giggle.

“Have you come to take away my precious things, the only things that make my time here bearable?”

Looking up from his phone, Alex decided to ignore it and pretend he had not heard the implied levity levelled at his expense.

"Yeah, Tracy and Lilly want me back to help out again there's still a lot of work to do. I can't believe mum stuck me with this though instead of you. "

“Well, that's easy, she probably knew which one of us would be more interested in hanging around a dress shop.” Jessica quipped smugly.

It was the classic take-down. I walked past the end of a lane, and Woodsy was there pointing a gun at me. A car pulled up and he said, “Get in the back, bitch, and connect the seatbelt.”

I did this and the driver pointed a gun at me while Woodsy closed the door and went to the other side and got in. The driver then sped away.

“Why are you doing this?” I cried, trying to look frightened.

Woodsy laughed and said that I had pissed off Morrie and Gloria and they had decided that they needed a word with me.
