" May I have a copy of those lists, please?" Johannes asked."Of course," Helen replied. Rummy began printing out the files.Johannes went on, "Now, I t...ink that our office will take over..." Hold on, Johannes," Sandy put in, "there's more. Tell him about the call, Helen." Yes. Johannes, this morning I got a phone call from Paul Dumont. We made a recording of it. Sandy, can you play it for Johannes?"Sandy took Rummy's place at the computer, called up the audio file and played it. Johannes asked. “Mmmm, I’ve been waiting for that since I started reading your scraps. I don’t understand why you never hit on me. I’ve never flirted so much and all you did was act polite. I was starting to feel ugly.”Obviously, I’m not as good at reading cues as I could be. But here we were, so I guess she got through in the end. Plus, downstairs she’d said something about fucking me to death and that there is a signal even I couldn’t miss.“Jo, Jo ... I’m an idiot. Of course I noticed you, you’re a cute and. " She looked at Dave intensely, "That was a crazy plan you came up with when we needed one - but it worked. I had previously questioned Lord Thurlow's confidence in you but I will never do that again. You were really amazing today, Dave - I've seen seasoned veterans freeze up but you didn't seem to hesitate."Dave smiled, "Thanks, but I just reacted more than anything - I guess I'm just very lucky."As Roxanne relaxed more she cuddled into Dave's side. He enjoyed the feeling of her close to him. He laughed again when he asked if I had knickers on and I blushed so he told me to show him and then looked round and said I had better not as there were a few people about. I felt a bit awkward and he put me at ease by smiling while telling me it was too dangerous to go to the shed in the week but if I had the nerve we could go through the gap in the hedge and I could show him.He left me and went through the gap and so it was up to me and I did hesitate then convinced myself that not a lot.
