Patrick Bright

Thank you, Jem. We’ll keep the home-team up to speed with our progress every step of the way.

Jonathan Danners

We won’t have time to keep anyone in the loop. See you Thursday.

Ludya Parak

You three: when I arrive at Tooting Broadway Station, get ready for a running jump. There’s no parking.

Alyson Lang

Sweet-talked the OH into dropping me off.

Jem Badhuri

By ‘OH’, do you mean your husband, Alyson?

Alyson Lang

Yes.

Jonathan Danners

I’ll be there. Patrick?

Patrick Bright

Think I might have a cold starting. If it gets worse, I’ll cry off. Will text Ludya.

Jem Badhuri

Oh no! Pat, hope you’re OK. I’ve got my fingers crossed you’re better in the morning.

Cameron Wesley

I’ll need extra luggage space. Bringing two laptops. There’d better be 5G in that neck of the woods.

Jem Badhuri

Hope you’re not ill tomorrow, Pat. I want all the gossip from the trip.

Patrick Bright

Thought I’d mention it, in case.

Jem Badhuri

Alyson’s husband is dropping her off for a night away with Jonathan. Do you think he suspects anything?

Patrick Bright

I have absolutely no idea, Jem. That pair is a mystery to me.
