The Hangman's Lair
“The sight of a school dinner can sometimes do that. Or the sight of a school dinner lady. However, in this case, I almost jumped out of my skin because I heard a loud ‘Pssst!’ behind me. I turned round and found myself face-to-shoulder with Bob Thompson.

‘Is there anything I can do to help?’ ‘I have a plan of action worked out, but it relies on the Herbert Street gang not knowing who I am, or that you have any ...connection with me.

‘Yummy,’ I said, with a painted-on grin.MoreLess
