‘Where in Nimue’s name have you been?’ said Vicky when I emerged into the Warden’s Parlour. The new Doodad had given me the ability to see a set of glowing buttons in the lift. Unlike the Recorder, I had to reach out and touch them.

‘You could have warned me, Vic.’

‘About what?’

‘That the Inner Council is a nest of vipers. Let’s go somewhere we can get a drink and I can get a smoke.’

‘I’ve got a surprise for you. I shouldn’t, but I will. This way.’

One floor down from the Warden’s Parlour was a small door that led to a balcony with a view down Ironmonger’s Lane and a big ashtray. Vicky stood upwind of me while I told her the story.

She rubbed her jaw when I’d finished. ‘You might get your bullets back, then.’

‘Eventually. So long as it’s not too late. Thanks for your lessons, Vicky. I didn’t realise just how important this was at the beginning. It’s not much, but here you are.’ I passed her a bottle of Champagne from my case.

‘Taittinger Reserve. Good choice, Conrad. Gods, is that the time?’

‘Have you got a date?’

Her reaction told me that she had, and that she was planning to spend a long time getting ready. ‘You need to get back to the Tower,’ she said, ignoring my question about her date completely.

‘Why?’

‘Hannah wants a word. Pass or fail, she wants to see you. I think she’s worried about who you might have upset.’
