A Couple of Fake Moles

THIS STORY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR READERS UNDER 12

Chapter Nine continues from yesterday:

They all slumped back in their seats and thought about it. Andy stroked Sammy’s back while he thought. Muriel pulled at a loose thread on her sleeve while she thought. And Velma, when she’d finished thinking, looked up vegan theatre make-up online.

“What are you doing?” Muriel asked.

“Ordering a new wig and a couple of fake moles,” Velma told her. “Maybe I’ll get three moles,” she added. Both of her friends looked at her strangely. “When I go to London to kill the Prime Minister I’ll be caught on CCTV so I can’t go looking like this.”

Andy laughed. “You’re gonna kill the Prime Minister?”

“Not possible,” said Muriel, “too much security. You won’t be able to get near him.”

Velma smiled. It was only then that she realised she still hadn’t told her friends everything. “Don’t worry, I can get into Number Ten,” she told them, “I’ve done it before.”

Andy and Muriel, mouths open, looked at each other and then back at Velma. “When?” they both asked at once.

“1985,” she told them. “I preyed on a senior civil servant who also happened to be Master of the Foxhounds at the Magnell Hunt in Derbyshire.”

Muriel grinned. “Really?”

“Yes,” Velma replied cheerfully, “not a nice man. Visiting him at work, I also saw how horrible he was to his staff.”

“You’re my hero!” Muriel laughed.

Andy was grinning as well. “Mine too,” he said, “but that was a long time ago. Security at Ten Downing Street’s gonna be a lot more high-tech now. I mean, what did you do, pretend to be a courier or something? They probably only use approved companies and drivers they know. Anybody new would have to have legitimate ID to get past them.”

“I didn’t pretend to be anyone,” Velma told them. “I didn’t need ID then and won’t need it now,” she smiled, enjoying keeping them guessing.
