had with George when Flic trapped him. Flic wasn’t entirely comfortable with Vicky’s plan. She knew that Vicky was desperate for a free holiday and the chance to spend time with Christos over in Cyprus, but Flic felt it was all too risky. Vicky’s feelings for Christos were clearly clouding her judgement. Flic had no desire to see George again, even if only from a distance, nor did she wish to take any more money from Amy. The last payment had been donated to the homeless shelter. It seemed like the right thing to do in Flic’s mind. She reminded herself the trip to Cyprus might not happen yet. It would only happen if Lumi was willing to go. And she doubted that Lumi would be up for it. After all, she had her cupcake business to think about. And a boyfriend. ‘What do you think she’ll say? You know her better than I do,’ Vicky scowled, peering over the steering wheel of her car from her slouched stake-out position. Flic ignored the comment about knowing Lumi. ‘I’m not sure. I don’t think she’ll agree to it, to be honest.’ ‘We’ll need a plan B then,’ Vicky reasoned. ‘But I am definitely going to Cyprus.’ Flic’s stomach growled as if in response to Vicky’s stubbornness. Flic wasn’t used to being up so early on a Sunday morning and having no breakfast. She admitted to herself that the nerves she felt about the proposal they were about to put to Lumi might also be causing an upset stomach. She and Vicky were parked across the street from Magnus’s flat waiting for him to leave. They had been there for over half an hour and there was still no sign of him.
