THE SESSION OF SECRETS

Dear Gram

Session with the Rev.

‘Clem, I’ve got something important to discuss. Do you mind if I come straight out with it?’

‘OK,’ I said. He was very straight up this time.

‘Of all the people you could have picked a fight with, why Bundy?’

Out of nowhere I said, ‘Sometimes you have to dance on the battlefield.’

He looked at me with that raised eyebrow thing and I said, ‘I don’t get it either, but it’s the truth. And anyway, that bike owed me something and if anyone was going to burn it down it should have been me.’

The Rev just looked at me and said, ‘Uh huh.’

Then I looked at him and said, ‘How did you know about Bundy and the fight?’

And he looked at me and said, ‘How did you know about Bundy and the fire?’

And I said, ‘I reckon the coppers have got a bit of fingerprinting to do among the Trangias and I’ve seen Bundy’s hands close up and I reckon I’ve probably got those same fingerprints on my skull.’

The Rev had this secret smile that he sometimes gets like when something is going down in class but he already knows about it.

Then I said, ‘What do I do if Violet finds out?’

And he said, ‘I’d also be a bit worried about Mrs H if I were you.’

Short. Sharp. Session over.

Anyway, my eyes are looking in the same direction as each other so the concussion must have eased up.

Holidays next week so I’d better be looking straight. Extra time with Violet and I don’t want to miss a single blink.

Love from visionary Clem.
