Inside Ernest’s office, the councillor was sitting in his chair, while Lena, her skirt hitched up to show a good portion of her shapely thighs, was perched on the edge of his desk. She really should just collect her blackmail money and leave, but she couldn’t resist goading him one last time about his gullibility over her plan to extort him.

Seductively licking her lips, she smirked at him as she gave her breasts a jiggle. ‘Gonna miss these, ain’t you, Ernest? Couldn’t keep your eyes or your hands off them the minute we were alone, you dirty old man. Or the rest of me either.’ She shuddered violently. ‘Ugh. At least I haven’t got to suffer you slobbering all over me any longer. Having sex with you was like having a fat walrus on top of me. And you’ve got bad breath.’ Her tone changed to that of a mother scolding her errant young child. ‘But next time you eye up your secretary, or any other woman come to that, I’d think twice about it if I was you, as you’ll never know if they’re setting you up like I did. Now I’ve got my future to be getting on with, with the man I love, and a wonderful future it is too, thanks to you, so hand over my money and I can get off.’

He was shaking with anger, knowing he had no choice but to part with an amount of money that would have substantially added to his retirement escape fund. What an idiot he had been not to see through her ploy. He had learned a valuable lesson, though. He’d only five years to go before he retired and collected his substantial golden handshake and pension, and this situation had made him realise how close he had come to losing all that, not to mention what his wife would have done to him had Lena blabbed.

Opening the top drawer of his desk, he took out a bulky envelope, which he looked at for several long moments, loath to be parting with it, before he resentfully held it out to Lena. She made to snatch it, but he pulled it back out of her reach and snarled, ‘If I hear one word about how you got this money…’

‘And just how did she get the money, Ernest?’

At the sound of the unexpected voice, and the very last one he wanted to hear considering the circumstances he was in, Ernest jumped up from his seat and stared frenziedly over at his wife. He had been so consumed with anger at having to part with such a large sum through his own stupidity that he hadn’t heard her arrive.

Stuttering, he blustered, ‘Err… err… hello, dear. What are you doing here?’ It was only then he noticed that she wasn’t alone. He looked bewilderedly at Gem, Solly and Tom behind her in the doorway, all strangers to him, but when his eyes settled on John Smith, they widened in alarm
