1. Edward Poeson
planned to be there
every step of the way
for Megan’s first outing
with his family. She
and Allain didn’t have
code names like him
and Trinity yet, but
they were still ‘in’.
They met up at the
local governmental
sciencef acility. Megan
and Allain were to do
reconnaissance for a
heist the next evening.

2. The Poet and the Balanced Stone waited at a nearby café for
their teenage spies to finish. Even Trinity didn’t know what
Edward wanted at the facility, only that it was a computer
file rather than their usual gold, gems or artefacts.

3. Megan came along for the incursion as well. The security key she had lifted
from a guard the day before got them into the top-secret basement
area, and Edwards knowledge of the blueprints of the building got them
through the maze of corridors.

4. As the newbie, Megan was
sent to watch the stairs at
the entrance to the
basement complex. Edward
was not expecting
company, so it would keep
her out of trouble and test
her loyalty.

5. Allain was in the rear
guard, watching the
corridor while Edward
and Trinity were busy
in the room they had
targeted.

6. Edward explored the lab for
anything extra of value while
Trinity recovered the computer
file. The file name gave her no
clues as to its contents, and
Edward left her none the wiser.

7. Trinity went straight home to get back to her sister, but Megan was
invited to the post-heist meal. They unwound together, discussing what
they had achieved and how Allain and she could improve.

8. While Allain did the washing up Edward talked for a long time with Megan one-to-one.
He wanted to assess how much guilt she was feeling, whether he was rushing her
progress… he found she was exactly as he hoped.
She was proud and excited with what she had helped do but was feeling twinges of
guilt and fear. He explained how this was normal and would pass, that he would have
been concerned if she was totally okay with becoming a criminal – that would be a
sign of an unhealthy mind. He was proud of her.

9. He invited her to stay over, but she decided
she was too tired and would be better off in
her own bed. Sneaking back after curfew and
avoiding the cops was something Edward had
trained her in, so he allowed her to leave.

10. He wasn’t sure what possessed him to give her a hug goodbye, let alone a
chaste kiss on the top of her head. Perhaps it was that he missed Trinity’s
presence, or that he was particularly proud of Megan. She didn’t seem
perturbed so he decided not to let it worry him.

11. Back in Deasil Street Jen was having a late night too, and she was worried. Going over
her paperwork in the run-up to her wedding to Angus had revealed a terrible truth. A
short letter she hadn’t read during the period following her separation from her ex-
husband. Pablo hadn’t signed one final legal document. She was still married to him.

12. Angus wasn’t angry as she had feared. He knew how
stressful moving house was, all she’d missed was one letter.
She just had to track down Pablo and get him to sign the
document finalising their divorce.
Jen had no idea where her ex was, but she knew a friend of
his who still lived in Appaloosa. She’d start with him.
