“Aw, now that was top. Just like my Granny used to make,” said Andy as he finished his lamb chops. “Absolutely top drawer that love, thanks a lot.”

“You’re welcome love. I like to do a healthy meal every now and again. It’s just too easy to bung a pizza in the oven most of the time.” Clare took Andy’s plate and placed it on the side by the sink. “You’re doing the washing up though,” she said as she returned to the table and stood before her husband.

“Sure thing, I’m happy to wash pots if it means I don’t have to cook nowt!”

“Well that suits me. Now, do you want a beer, or a glass of wine?”

“Nowt, I’m alright actually. I’m in a bit of a mood if I’m honest.”

“Oh?” Clare put her hands on her hips. “What’s up?”

“Oh, it’ll sound stupid. You know last night, when I was messing about with you, when you were asking what Ollie was talking about?”

“Yeah! You cheeky bugger!” She grinned as she grabbed the dish cloth and whipped it at him.

“Well, he asked me to do this favour for him, some neighbour has apparently vanished into thin air, and he wanted me to look into it.”

“Right…” Clare looked a little confused, wondering where this was headed. She sat down at the dining table opposite her husband.

“Well, I tried to palm him off last night, but I gave in and said I’ll have a quick nosey and see if I can find anything out. So anyway, I went round there on the way home tonight and he was being a right cock. Honestly, I’ve never known him to be so ignorant. I was trying to ask him questions about stuff that I needed to know about, you know, in order to help him out, and he practically said he was too busy to talk to me!”

“You’re kidding! What a bloody cheek!” said Clare.

“I know, anyway, I told him to shove it. I’m seriously pissed off with him!” Andy stood and walked across to the sink and began rinsing the plates under the cold tap.

“That’s not like Ollie. What did he say?”

“Nowt. He just stood on the stairs, he was practically rocking, waiting for me to piss off. It was weird. Even Pippa looked embarrassed.”

“God, this sounds well weird.”

“Well, I’ve told him I’m not having anything to do with it now, so he’s shot himself in the foot.” Andy ran the hot tap and squeezed the washing liquid into the sink.

“But?” Clare sensed that her husband was still stressed about something. “I know there’s a but coming!”

“But, well, now I want to know what happened to the missing neighbour!”
