The tranquillity of our walk, as always, was cut short. Outside our house stood a man in a leather jacket and I recognised him immediately from the Resistance meeting. I recognised him from Daniel’s vision.

“What is he doing here?” I asked between gritted teeth. I folded my arms.

Dad walked over to the man and shook his hand. “Mina, this is Matthew.”

Matthew looked at me with an amused grin, which I instantly found annoying. “Nice to meet you, Mina,” he said, performing a little bow. “Although I do believe we’ve met before. You’re quite fast for a girl.”

“Faster than you, anyway,” I retorted.

He laughed. He had the same laugh as my dad which was disturbing. “Well it’s nice to finally meet face to face.”

Matthew smiled. He had warm brown eyes and dark hair. He maintained my eye contact for just a little too long, searching my face for something. Uncomfortable, I muttered a goodbye and disappeared into the house. When I shut the door I turned and pressed my ear to the wood, trying to catch a few words of their conversation before they moved inside.

“So that’s her then?” Matthew said. “She’s got a bit of fight in her. She isn’t going to take this lying down.”

“I know,” my Dad agreed. “You’ll have to talk to her, but I have every faith you can do it. Shall we step into the kitchen?”

That was my cue to leave. On tip-toes I fled to the basement.
