Olivia And The Great Escape (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Eel’s face was red with anger. “It had to have been you, Alex Parks!” she cried. “You are the only other person who knew that Jack was ill. None of the others would dream of giving away any information about Jack’s stunt. They’re too loyal to do something so nasty. I would never have told you if I’d realised that you were going to use the information in such a terrible way. I only mentioned it because you seemed so interested in Jack’s stunt and so admiring of what he’s doing. I thought you were on his side. I thought you could be trusted.” Alex smiled at her patronisingly. “You’re jumping to conclusions, Eel,” he said. “Of course it wasn’t me. Who would I tell, anyway? I don’t have any interest in who wins some silly high-wire competition. It could have been anyone. If you knew, lots of people must have known.” Eel considered this. Perhaps he was right? She’d been eaten up with guilt since the piece about Jack had been published, convinced that it was her babbling to Alex that had done the damage.
