In the morning, Vee isn’t talking to any of us. Jessie turns on the radio news while we all eat cereal. It’s boring. I try to hold Baby on my lap and eat at the same time, but I drop yoghurt on his head and Alice takes him off me.

Then it’s the story we’ve been waiting for.

‘Sources say police are still seeking forged documents that they hope will lead them to the diamond smugglers. Lord Smiggenbotham-Chancery suggests Melbourne Police might not be up to scratch.’

The familiar, lazy voice comes on. He sounds half-amused. ‘The police department is the most bumbling, absurd, inefficient force I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with.’

Then the reporter comes back on. ‘The government says it is not considering an inquiry into police productivity at this stage.’

Jessie meets my eye over her breakfast spoon. She’s thinking what I’m thinking. Those forged documents might be just the evidence we need against Mr Hinkenbushel. She’s smart enough not to say anything in front of Dad and Alice. Also, there’s the problem of Vee.
