‘Write everything down: how, where and when. Include the address and photos.’

‘You told me already. It’s all here.’

‘He’ll meet you at the castle, Sunday at three. Up the stairs, through the three arches. He’ll be waiting on the platform.’

‘And then?’

‘You hand over the money and your notes. Then you tell him what you want him to do.’

‘But I’ve written it all down.’

‘You tell him. He needs to be convinced you mean it.’

‘I don’t understand.’

‘He’s a professional. He won’t accept the job unless you really want to order a hit on your husband.’
