Chapter 7

Cara was surprised at how quickly Gran ran towards her car, she had trouble keeping up with her. Gran was driving away before Cara even had her seatbelt fastened.

Gran said, “There’s a little tablet device in the side pocket of my handbag. Take it out, find the app that’s got a number plate symbol on it and tap it.”

Cara did so. “Now what?”

“Type in Donald’s plate number. Can you still see his car? He’s in the one two cars ahead.”

Cara waited for a curve in the road so that she could see Donald’s number plate on the back of his car. She typed it in. “An address has come up, and so has Donald’s name. Is this even legal?”

“No. There’s no time to worry about that now. Read the address out.”

Cara read the address. Gran nodded. “I know where that is. It doesn’t matter if we lose him in traffic, we know where he’s headed.” She gave Cara a brief look. “What’s wrong?”

“I think I’m discovering a new Gran. You’ve been leading a double life. Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“I’ve plenty to tell you, later. Cara, I didn’t want this job, I didn’t want to see angels. They kept bothering me until I agreed to do one job for them. Once I’d done that first job I knew how important it was and so I agreed to taking on more jobs. I’ve learnt a lot along the way.”

“I don’t think I could do this. My stomach keeps flipping over every time I think about Donald being killed.” Cara shuddered. “I can’t stand the sight of blood. I don’t even like watching hospital programmes.”

“Neither do I. We’ll get there before there’s any blood. Hopefully. Cara, one of the people I saved from being murdered was a special person. He’d been mistaken for someone else. An irate husband thought this man was having an affair with his wife. He attacked this innocent man from behind. I got there in time. As soon as I turned the man around the irate husband realised his mistake. He fell to pieces, he couldn’t believe how close he’d come to murdering someone who was innocent. Then he realised that he shouldn’t have been committing murder at all. I think his words were, ‘I’m not going to prison for that tart’.”

“Who was the innocent man?”

Gran smiled as she stopped at some traffic lights. “The love of my life, your granddad. I told him about seeing angels and all the rest. He believed me and supported me in my work. He even came out on some jobs with me.” The lights changed and she drove off. She added, “I miss that man so much.”

“I miss him too,” Cara said. “I thought I’d found someone like Granddad, but I was wrong. Oh, are we here?”

Gran stopped the car and wound down her window. “Donald has pulled into his drive, I don’t want to park too close. Time for my gadgets.” She bent over and pulled out a small briefcase from under her seat.
