Hurrying along, Roy heard the door close behind him. He looked back but Jack was already gone.

The chilling air seemed to clarify his thoughts, making him consider what Jack had said.

Now that there was a distance between himself and Jack, and the cool air had sharpened his reasoning, he could see the sense in at least some of what Jack had said. 'I suppose it would make sense if she was planning to have Stratton done away with,' he voiced his thoughts in a harsh whisper, '. . . considering what he did to her sister. But if she is keen to have him out of the way for good . . . and I'm not even sure about that. . . why would she go after Don? As far as I know, they go back a long way and they've allus looked out for each other.'

He tried to work it through in his mind. 'If she's done her homework ... and she looks like the kinda woman who would, then she must know the last thing Don would do is to arrange for Arnold Stratton to be murdered. They're best buddies for Chrissake!'

All the same, Jack's warning was strong in his thoughts, and now, he was made to see things in a different light. 'She is getting to him though,' he admitted reluctantly, 'even I could tell that. By! She's the kind o' witch who could worm herself all the way into a man's soul if he wasn't careful.'

He thought of the way Don looked when he spoke of her ... kind of proud and excited all at the same time; wanting to look his best when she turned up, yet not complaining if she unexpectedly turned up early, when he was still in his rough.

'It looks to me like she's already twisting him round her little finger,' he muttered. 'If she can make him behave like a lovesick schoolboy, then what else can she do to him, eh?'

And back came the answer, 'She could work on him, until he's ready to do whatever she asks.'

He couldn't believe what he was thinking. 'Would Don really have his best friend done away with?'

He hated himself for even entertaining the idea. 'No.' The thought was abhorrent to him. 'He wouldn't. Never!'

He dismissed the notion from his mind as quickly as it had entered it.
