‘At least there’s one good thing about Money Bags – we get to leave school early,’ says Ted as we wait for his mum to pick us up at lunchtime.

I didn’t tell Ted about the graffiti incident. When he’d asked what Jeebs wanted I told him he just wanted to wish our school good luck. I figured it was for the best. Ted has enough to think about without adding the graffiti mystery to the list.

‘How are you feeling, darling?’ asks Mrs Dimple as soon as she pulls up. ‘Money Bags is only a few hours away now.’

‘I’m trying not to think about it,’ says Ted as he jumps in. Then he closes the door and stares out the window.

We are driving home minding our own business when Mrs Dimple suddenly points.

‘Oh, would you look at that!’ she says, as she slows the car down. ‘Somebody has painted graffiti all over that fence. It’s vandalism, that’s what it is.’

‘Mmmm,’ says Ted absently.

‘Why would someone paint something that doesn’t make sense?’ says Mrs Dimple, shaking her head. ‘It seems so pointless to ruin someone’s fence like that.’

I stare as we cruise past, and an uneasy feeling engulfs me. It looks exactly the same as the graffiti in the photo Jeebs showed me. Same coloured paint. Same message:

N I 4 N I

And there are even the squiggly little initials in the top right-hand corner:

B D

My initials!

N I 4 N I

What a ridiculous thing to graffiti.

N I 4 N I

Hang on!

N I 4 N I

Suddenly I have a thought! Maybe the letters aren’t supposed to be letters at all? Maybe they’re words!

Of course!

N … I …4… N … I – An eye for an eye.

Why didn’t I see it before?

Then another thought hits me, and I feel a chill run through me.

What if the graffiti message wasn’t meant to be from me?

What if it was meant to be for me?
