‘You only need one large bag for it to work,’ Frieda told her as they sat in Starbucks – Frieda’s treat. ‘How about you’re poor and need stuff to burn for your fire.’ ‘So burning the carry bags from their particular store is what I came up with?’ Frieda paused, then asked, ‘Why do you want to do this, anyway?’ ‘Because I need the money, obviously.’ Another long wait before she spoke. ‘Well, think about it carefully. AD aren’t going to just let you wander out with a truckload of their stuff. In fact, I’m surprised Chelsea let you do this one. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she wanted you to get caught.’ Shocked, Jessica asked whether it was really a possibility. Should have guessed – mutual detestation, remember? ‘Given you could shop us in an instant, I doubt it – but she does know how concerned you are about Rachel. She might figure you wouldn’t tell on us in case we took it out on Rachel.’ Her ultimate fear voiced. And if Frieda was putting energy into thinking it, then Jessica was glad she hadn’t shared too much with the Norwegian.
