Jonathan

Changed our minds again. It’ll be better to have a couple of them there.

Ludya

To be fair, Cameron probably won’t come, and Patrick’s been so down these last few days he could cry off too. You might have to come instead, Gela.

Gela

I’m Jem-sitting, remember. Pat is uncomfortable with Suzie and Jonathan flaunting their relationship. He’s a sensitive soul.

Suzie

Cool. He’s focused on that. Seems I just can’t keep my hands off my honey.

WhatsApp chat between Gela Nathaniel and Cameron Wesley, 15 January 2024:

Gela

When will this nightmare be over? They want you and Patrick on the trip to Somerset now. Don’t know why they changed their minds, but they have.

Cameron

Probably a test.

Gela

Of what?

Cameron

Of you. To see if you’ve really chosen three innocent stooges to cover their tracks, or whether you’ve turned double agent and betrayed them to a corporate PI. Looks like you passed.

Gela

How can you tell?

Cameron

You’re still messaging me.

That trip to Somerset was planned all along.

Karen Carpenter

What’s happening there, Ben?

Ben Sketcher

I’m still reading the stuff Gela sent me.

Karen Carpenter

Has the event started?
