Joe flicked up his collar against the biting cold, holding it closed around his neck. Thick plumes of steam escaped from his mouth with each exhalation as he walked down deserted streets, the plummeting temperatures making people stay indoors. He was only a few hundred yards from the crossroads at the end of his street when he heard the familiar voice.

“I can help you with your problem, Joe.”

Joe spun around. The thin man was standing behind him, his black hooded top pulled tight around his face.

“Who are you?”

“Don’t worry about that at the moment. You’ll find out later. What you need to know is that I can sort out your problem. I can make your Christmas happy again.”

“How?” Joe asked, the thought of getting some kind of retribution bouncing around inside his head.

“You need to make a deal with me. I help you and then you help me.”

“What do I need to do for you?”

“We’ll discuss that another time. Are you up for it? Do you want to get your things back?”

Joe pushed his hands deeper into his pockets, the cold biting into him. He thought about what he’d love to do to whoever it was who’d stolen his family’s Christmas. It didn’t take long to decide.

“Yes, you’ve got a deal.”

“Follow me.”
