The Great Ice-Cream Heist (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
She turned Melanie’s phone number over and over in her hands. Shan stood near the window, pretending that she wasn’t really interested. ‘Shall I ring her?’ Eva said. ‘Well,’ Heidi said, ‘it’s a phone number. Seems rude not to ring it.’ ‘But what should I say?’ Eva couldn’t imagine any conversation where Melanie would just hand over Jamie’s address. ‘Start with “hello” and work your way up to “tell me what you’ve done with my friend or the bunny gets it”.’ Eva grinned. Heidi was funny, but not that helpful. ‘Shan, what do you think?’ Shan turned away from the window. Her brown eyes were thoughtful. ‘Here’s the situation as I see it. There’s no way that Melanie would tell you where Jamie is. It’s unethical, and Melanie wouldn’t be unethical. So, what you have to do is to not be you.’ Eva frowned. What exactly was Shan suggesting? ‘Can you try that again, but this time in English?’ Heidi asked.
