Chapter 25

Craig and Fiona walked down the street, deliberately not hurrying and trying to resist the temptation to look back. Craig expected to feel a hand on his shoulder any second, their scam exposed by the Consulate staff. After five minutes Craig finally accepted that they weren’t being chased or followed and that they’d got away with their little performance. Or rather, Fiona had.

‘That was the most incredible adlibbing I’ve ever seen.’

‘I know, I was good wasn’t I?’ said Fiona, grinning from ear to ear.

‘You almost had me in tears when you talked about your poor Swedish grandad.’

‘Why thank you.’ Fiona gave a small curtsey. ‘What now?’

‘Now, I buy you a coffee and a massive piece of cake and we find out what’s in this.’

They turned a corner onto Queen Street and walked a few yards to a little café with a sign saying City Bakeries above the window. It was narrow but extended some way back beyond a long counter, where the room opened up into the café proper. There were a dozen tables, most of them unoccupied. Craig thought it was ideal, they couldn’t be seen from the window and the corner table they selected was reasonably secluded from prying eyes. A waitress came over and took their order. Fiona asked what cakes they had and decided on a strawberry tart, and they ordered two coffees.
