Text of the page (random words):
cions that he had worked it all out the other conclusion he came to was that this story was too huge for a local paper in a london district he would need the nationals the online news services and the foreign newspapers too if the story was going to come out it was going to have to be published everywhere at the same time on the same day but how was he going to achieve that he would need a new phone and a new laptop and if he bought those and they were monitioring his bank account they would know he had them and it wouldn t take them long to track them or perhaps even kidnap him off the street he was going to have to get away somewhere and fast the controller had called a meeting that afternoon to discuss the next target the photo projected onto the screen was someone well known to everyone in the room as he was the head of mi5 stuart dowling a slim man in a suit began speaking some of you may know that for a long time now dowling has been known to be a russian asset essentially a spy for the enemy it was discovered some time ago but it was decided to leave him in post to see what we could discover about his contacts and to see if any of his colleagues were also involved it s a matter of record that he was turned by blackmail after they obtained photos and videos of dowling being shall we say in the company of young men in a foreign country whether or not they set that up is neither here nor there but however it happened it worked now dowling has outlived his usefulness to us and to avoid a scandalous arrest and trial it has been decided that he will commit suicide as he is unlikely to want to kill himself our idea is to present him with a very expensive watch in lieu of his long service the back of that watch that will sit on his wrist is going to made from pieces of the stones formed into a circle he stopped to pick something up from the desk these folders contain the outlined plan and your roles in it they are not to leave this room share this share on x

fiction serial in 811 words after waking up late andy was still at home when the police officer rang his moblile this is detective constable stephanie taylor mr conway i understand you were the last person to meet with tricia macaulay before she tragically died i was hoping that you could come in and make a statement to me about that when would it be convenient andy had almost forgotten that he had been told the police would want to speak to him and he was a little flustered er would tomorrow morning be okay say nine he could hear her typing yes that would be great i will text the address to your mobile phone he had a sudden thought sorry to ask but do i need to have a lawyer with me she sounded surprised a lawyer i am just doing a follow up report for presentation to the coroner as far as i know this is going to be a witness statement but if you are concerned you can of course arrange for legal representation that calmed him down no need i just thought i should ask see you at nine tomorrow the morning meeting between angela and the controller was supposed to be about a potential new operational target for the stones to be activated once interest about the situation in nigeria had gone away but angela arrived bearing a transcript of a phone call that she had received from the surveillance team and read it out to her boss he didn t seem too concerned obviously we cannot allow that meeting to take place and he must not give a statement use our contact with the police commissioner to get conway s name off any lists they are holding and get that meeting cancelled as soon as possible the last thing we want is for the boys in blue to get suspicious of him and for him to either drop his investigation or end up in the cells of some local police station i need to know if he can work it out because if he can so can much better investigative journalists off you go get it done three phone calls made by angela later and a confused detective constable taylor was back on the phone to andy who was already at his desk at work just to let you know that we won t be requiring that statement after all no need for you to come in as arranged sorry for the mix up andy realised he had somehow dodged a bullet by not being asked why he was meeting tricia that evening and had no idea why that had happened but he wasn t about to question it the less dealings with the cops the better as far as he was concerned he carried on slogging away going over all his notes and the online reports time and time again staring at the screens waiting for something to click to tell him why all of those people had committed suicide if it wasn t about robberies of valuable or rare stones and some kind of international crime organisation feeling hungry he went out to get something to eat not sure if he wanted a late breakfast or a very early dinner at least his boss had been away at a meeting so it hadn t been necessary to justify himself so far today deciding on a pub lunch he sat at a small table by the door of one of his favourite local pubs sipping a glass of good german lager while he waited for the arrival of his gammon ham two eggs and chips it was busy at the bar already and he looked up as he noticed a gorgeous older woman sweep in like a film star she was obviously meeting a similarly well groomed very tall man who waved and then stood up from his bar stool to hug her as the man stepped back the woman let out a cry he had caught her necklace on one of the buttons of his overcoat and the large pearls were dropping down and bouncing around all over the floor of the pub some rolled in andy s direction and he stopped them with the side of his shoe before scooping down to pick them up other customers were also bending down to do the same with pearls that had gone in their direction and the waitress bringing his food put the plate down on his table hurriedly then bent to pick up the last of the escaped stones from the necklace the film star woman was thanking everyone profusely and andy smiled at how good people were to rush to have helped her so that she didn t lose any just random people who didn t know the woman or each other that was the lightbulb moment for him and he didn t stay to eat the food share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a friend opens in new window

fourteenth part of a fiction serial in 810 words in the middle of doing more research into the articles about everyone who had died after some connection to the stones andy decided to ring his mortuary contact and ask if he could remember anything that tricia might have said however insignificant the mobile number for richard was out of service so he rang the mortuary direct and asked to speak to him a woman answered and asked him to hold the line when she came back on a few minutes later her voice had changed and she sounded stilted and unfriendly richard hill no longer works here i m afraid he left without giving notice so i suggest you contact him at home thank you that made andy curious why would he leave like that and where would he go unfortunately he had no idea where richard lived so he tried the social media accounts hoping to find what he was doing now he knew he had a facebook account and was also on x but both of his accounts on those no longer existed searching the name only he found lots of men with that fairly common name but none of them were the richard he knew and many of them were american his mind was all over the place now could richard be involved in the story outside of his job perhaps he was part of the conspiracy to steal and trade the stones but the information had come from tricia or so he had said for someone to walk out of a regular job change their phone number and delete their social media accounts there had to be a good reason besides if he had not wanted andy to find out more why put him in touch with tricia in the first place he started to get a headache the controller had called angela in for an update as was his habit he was looking away from her as she gave him her report andy conway has compiled a great deal of information about everything to do with the stones but seemingly come to the worng conclusion we have a tracker inside his home laptop and that has duplicated the hard drive as well as anything he types on it from now on the same with his phone which we have a live match to and can listen to his calls as well he is working on the theory that the stones are valuable some kind of jewel or precious mineral so he believes organised crime must be involved and the deaths are associated with that he has been tring to contact richard hill with no success obviously the controller turned his swivel chair so he could look at her no success because the unfortunate mr hill is entombed in ten feet of concrete inside a secret government facility somewhere i presume angela tried not to smile something like that sir i didn t ask for details just trusted the usual operatives to carry out their task as instructed so what about conway do you want me to put them onto him now the man turned his chair back to the side no not yet the reporter intrigues me and i want to wait and see how far he gets and if he is able to put the whole thing together if he manages to do that we can easily stop him before the story gets out that s if anyone would be crazy enough to publish it of course you can go everyone had left for the day but andy was still at his desk he had re read everything ten times and come to a couple of conclusions there was no way that the traffic policeman had died accidentally the words of the tractor driver had been in a small report in a local newspaper that andy had almost overlooked interviewed after he left hospital the farm worker had said he drove his motorbike straight at me it was like he wanted to die the woman who had been standing by the car park when the man jumped had plenty of time to move away or walk back across the street the bus driver had everything to live for a new life in the west indies with plenty of money the female employee who had jumped under his bus had no reason to kill herself and neither did tricia who had been happy being richard s girlfriend that left the man who had jumped from the top of the car park if you accepted that he was unhappy because he was separated from his family and lived alone in a different part of the country then he might well have been a candidate for suicide but what if you didn t accept that what if he had been happy living as he was there was still much more to investigate share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook

this weekend before it hots up again next week our dinner trip on wednesday was the previously mentioned expensive treat to the nicely up market brisley bell to ice the cake even further we booked a taxi each way so neither of us had to drive despite it being the hottest day of the week at 34c 93f it was beautifully cool inside due to very effective and most welcome airconditioning in one of the smaller restaurant areas where our table was situated it was even cooler i was a little disappointed that they had no monkfish on the menu this time but that was balanced out by a choice of scallops and chorizo with creamed corn as a starter and delicious it was too my main course was superb belly pork with the best ever crispy crackling apple sauce garlic mashed potatoes and green vegetables for dessert i chose a locally made and exceptionally creamy pistachio ice cream adding an extra scoop of rum and raisin after eating we went and sat in the bar where i had an amaretto on ice and julie a glass of port it was a delightful evening that felt like a real occasion and we didn t get home until 9 50pm late for us home thursday was our monthly trip to our favourite butcher in downham market although it was substantially cooler that day it felt much more humid and quite uncomfortable we had coffee sitting outside a nice cafe before leaving and were glad to get home to sit in front of some fans julie met one of her daughters and her oldest grandson in dereham on saturday they went to the specialist school outfitters to get all the required uniform for his first year of senior school starting in september then they went for dinner at a family pub and i made my own meal at home for dinner later today i am cooking an indian meal of chicken tikka masala served with basmati rice and
