Chapter One, continued, part 2.14
Douglas eased his cuff back and checked his watch (not the too-flashy Rolex; no point making yourself too noticeable.)
10.15am. Hmm... he might be cutting it a bit fine, but, provided that bloody farmer with the muck-spreader didn't get in front of him he should make it home after Annie usually left for work.
But that wretched curtain-twitcher next door might still be at her window! He wondered if she also had a watch point from the back of her house. He'd have to wing it...
Hardly any traffic and he really would have liked to give the car a good, racing run. Better not to spoil things by getting a ticket to the Policemen's Ball. He eased his foot up and settled at 60.
He allowed his mind to go over his plan once more. Mr Short had never seen him and the money had all been odd bills, from various sources. So, really, all he had to do was nip back into his house, pick up the second briefcase, nip out and head for Harwich. A doddle, really...

A doddle, indeed. What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of going wrong... Dinah, have you upped your meds? What's with the super spacey comment above? (What's William Stickers gone and done now?)
I think we have broken Dinah!

Dinah's back on the happy pills. And that glitsch earlier might have been to do with something on the keyboard.
DeleteOf course, I am a rubbish typist these days, so it may have been that!
Just a minor note, but should the "dinahmow is writing" still be visible at the top of the post? With that in mind, however, should we be somehow identifying the individual authors of each post.
