I let it go on for a minute or so, but not too long; they'd already taken their decision or Ashley wouldn't have called, they were just hemming and ha...ing. "Well, Richard?" I asked loudly. "My mouse is getting itchy." What exactly is it you want, Jack?" he responded."I told you, call off the dogs. The tap comes off Lisa's phone and she gets to go where she wants without company. And you give up the hunt for me." How are we supposed to do that?" I've been interviewed and cleared," I told him..
