Ell hid a smile and secretly tucked the £20 note, credit card and girl's journalistic ID into her bag.
Jackpot.
Such an easy mark.
"Don't worry about it. It's on me, anyway. I'll tab it as expenses," she said with a wink.

"After you then. I have a very slight idea as to who you are or why I'm here. You know who I am. Talk," said Ell calmly, before taking another foamy mouthful.

"Well, my name's Topaz Jones - I write the topical column in Cambridge Weekly. What else do you need to know?"

"Need to know? A social call on a need-to-know basis? Just what is this?" she asked curiously.

"What do you want it to be?" said Topaz, waving a familar set of keys in front of Ell's face. They were the keys to her flat.
