Here’s the next instalment of that conversation between Frank and his sister.
‘It’s Martin.’ Of course it was. Wasn’t it always Martin? ‘He’s gone missing. Well not completely missing. There’s been sightings.’ She stopped, her last word left dangling over a cliff edge waiting to be rescued.
Frank let a few more seconds pass but since no further words were forthcoming, he embarked on the rescue mission. ‘Sightings?’
‘Scotland.’
‘Scotland’s a big country, Siobhan. Any particular part?’
‘Glasgow. Cousin Finn bumped into him. He was half-cut.’
‘Finn, or Martin?’
‘Martin I think, but it could have been either. Or both. Anyway that’s where we think he is. Would you go and get him?’
Want to know what Frank does next? Check in again tomorrow.
