“We weren’t expecting you this early,” Dad said jovially as I went into the kitchen. My family always congregated in the kitchen rather than the living room.

“I’ve poured you a cup of tea,” Mam put in.

“Did you sort out the registry office?” Dad asked Jenny. She nodded.

“The wedding’s on Friday. There’s no need to come. Mum and Dad have offered to be witnesses.”

Dad nodded, though Mam looked a little upset. “Until those people outside get bored I think we should stay here. We don’t want them following us to the registry office.”

I blushed, “Sorry about them, Dad. It never occurred to me that finding a few old things would create such a fuss.”

Dad blinked. “You’ve become notorious, son. What with your arrest over Bronwyn, which brought all those bodies you’ve found over the years to everyone’s attention, then the coma and finally Bronwyn’s reappearance. It is any wonder that they’re after you when a couple of weeks later, you discover the biggest treasure hoard ever found in the British Isles?”

Mam looked up. “It’s my fault. I put the idea in his head.”

“I lose track of the time. Most of those things seem as if they took place years ago.”

Jenny smiled and took my arm in hers. “If you knew what he’s been up to today you wouldn’t be surprised. Jake fits a whole year’s worth of adventures into a morning.”

Dad grunted and handed me a piece of paper. “Inspector Thomas wants you to contact him. I take it, it was you that found that missing boy?”

Jenny pulled me back down as I got up to hop.

“You can’t hop now. What if someone sees you at the police station? There are cameras that show you’re here.”

Jenny was right. I had to be careful now I was the center of all this media attention. The last thing I needed was more headlines.

“I’ll phone him.”
