Chapter 16: Copies
I rang him straight back.
He didn't pick up.
He texted instead, two minutes later.
"Can't talk. Open plan."
"An invoice isn't enough," I typed. "He'll say he paid early."
"I know. There's more. His sent folder. The assistants all share his inbox for diary stuff."
"Then get it."
"Can't email it out. Everything leaving the building gets flagged. Have to print it and walk it out."
Then, a minute later:
"Need you here at four tomorrow. With a box."
"A box of what?"
"Custard tarts. Four dozen. It's Friday. I've told the floor I'm buying."
I looked at the twins' birthday cake, half-iced.
Then I typed, "Fine. You're paying."
On Friday at ten to four I walked into Sokolov House for the third time, carrying four dozen custard tarts in two white boxes.
The day guard looked at the boxes and actually smiled.
"Thirty-eight," I said. "For Freddie Haddow."
He waved me through.
