Chapter Twelve

‘If Col doesn’t want to go, Dominic, you’ll just have to accept it.’ Mrs Sampson had been trying to placate her son since Col had phoned to tell them his decision.

‘But he does want to go,’ Dominic insisted, then added, ‘He told me, he’s desperate to go.’

Ella tutted loudly. ‘What a liar!’

‘Ella!’ Mrs Sampson scolded.

Dominic turned on his sister. ‘It’s all your fault. You don’t want him to go. You don’t like him.’

‘That’s true,’ Ella admitted. ‘I don’t want him to go, and I don’t like him. I don’t trust him.’ She pleaded with her mum. ‘They’re a dangerous family, mother. They’re always in the newspaper. His dad was notorious as well. He was killed driving a getaway car.’

‘I know their reputation,’ Mrs Sampson conceded. ‘But that makes no difference. Col saved Dominic’s life. He’ll always be special to me.’

Dominic stuck his tongue out at his sister. He leapt at his mother. ‘If you asked him, Mum, he would go. Please, Mum! Can we go and see Col?’

Ella screeched at him, ‘You’re not going to that house. We could have a lovely trip to London … just us. I’ll make a cardboard cut out of Col McCann. I’ll even sit beside it.’

‘Shut up you!’ Dominic yelled. ‘If Col doesn’t go to London, neither do I!’

Ella smiled. ‘This trip is sounding better by the minute.’
