Isn’t it a shame that the person you looked up to was a coward? What a fun little bit of treachery. And there’s more to come – all leading to the grand finale on

Monday

I drop the note and the letter and sit down. I know Mikey wants an explanation, but I don’t have one to give. Aunt Sandra and Uncle Dara were so excited to open the cafe – they never cared what the Committee thought. Aunt Sandra called them losers with no lives. And yet she sent them this letter, behind Uncle Dara’s back. She was willing to give in to them.

Mikey leaves the room. I don’t ask him where he’s going – I just go back to the letter. It’s in Aunt Sandra’s handwriting, it was definitely written by her.

“Here.” Mikey returns, and he places a sandwich in front of me, and a packet of crisps, and a slice of cake.

“Thanks,” I mutter, as I start to eat. “On Tuesday, Monday left a rat in my bed, to scare me. On Wednesday there was the car crash – to hurt Uncle Dara. And now on Thursday it’s a note to…to destroy Aunt Sandra’s memory.”

“But it won’t,” says Mikey. “This note doesn’t change who she was, and it definitely doesn’t make her a coward.”

“She always told us to stand up for what we believed in,” I say. “And she never said anything about giving in to the Committee to me and Nikki. Uncle Dara was determined to ignore them – she did this behind all our backs.”

“But the cafe’s colour stayed,” says Mikey. “And the name and the flamingos. She obviously changed her mind. Remember, Monday’s trying to get inside your head.”

“But why?” I burst out. They must have a grudge against our whole family – what could we have possibly done? Going after Uncle Dara, our memory of Aunt Sandra. But Nikki’s already got me questioning her, I didn’t need Monday to drive the knife in…

Because this letter shows I didn’t know Aunt Sandra as well as I thought. And maybe everything Nikki said was true.

I push the thought away; I’ve got an investigation to focus on. I can unpack everything later.

“This is a clue,” I mutter, holding up the pages. “How did Monday get this letter? It was sent to the Committee – to Mr Reed’s address, it’s got the postage paid. We’re looking for someone who would have been able to get access to it.” The most obvious person is Mr Reed. Or Topher, his son.

That’s where we have to investigate next.
