Day 8 Part 4 He pulled up the patrol car at the gate, which was unsurprisingly locked. There was a foot gate which was not. He looked around, he could see no way to contact the house, there was a small post box and a larger parcel shelter and that was it. Nothing that seemed to give any way to contact the house. If ‘Services had to park up and walk, he wasn’t surprised they didn’t bother often. He radio’d in. “391, at Silver residence. It looks to be a ten minute walk just to the front door. I will radio again before I knock.” Eldred and Vanessa looked at each other, they had sensed the approach. “Amanda my beautiful, go upstairs and sit with the girls, I will sit with the boy, Eldred, if you sit with the girls also. I will just have a little chat with out host to make sure he says the right thing, but we will listen, just in case, okay?” Amanda said ‘sure thing’ and went up stairs, unusually in her human form, but quite naked. Eldred went up as well to thrall th...

Day 8 part 3 Mavis was a little dismayed, there were a number of key components to the spell that she did not have and she would have to spend another day sourcing the missing items. She had a hazel tree in the garden, pretty standard planting for a Wytch. She went to the garden and pulled a small plug out of the trunk, and inserted a small pointed stick, the rising sap would seep down the stick and fall into the foil cup taped to the end. The hazel sap would collect whilst she was out, that was the easy one. If it had been in the depths of winter when the sap was not rising she would have possibly had a problem.

That was pretty common until relatively reason, but now, due to its illegality, getting hold of pure opium poppy seeds was not so easy. Many of the worts were not yet fully grown this season, and the two she needed didn’t grow naturally in this region any way. No...

Day 8 - part 2. “If you wanted hide Christine, I mean, really hide, where would you go?” “My mum’s.” “So, Vanessa’s mum passed away some years ago. Think again.” “Er, holiday cottage?” “Can you afford that in cash, will someone take cash, would you know where to go to get a holiday cottage in cash?” “Well that is the crux of it sir, we have to try and think of solutions that involve no money. Break into an empty house?” “Yes, they can then go to ground and consume what ever food is in the house, freezer or tinned or whatever.” “But that would only last them so long, then they would need to go out and get food.” “And that means money or a credit card, and we have had all of Vanessa Hilts cards stopped.” “The ones that we know about sir, same as her phone. Damn.” Christine slapped her forehead with her hand. “We missed a trick there sir.” “Don’t worry, Christine we all did, and so did the wonderboys. Get in touch with the mobile phone co...
