I’ve been lying here trying to get my head around why you were gonna pay me ten grand?’ ‘Why were you asking for ten grand?’ ‘Well, what with that missing copper, I didn’t think you’d want it coming out about your suicide attempt and timeshare in a mental health hospital. I just assumed you’d want to prevent any unwanted attention from coming your way. Now I ain’t so sure that was the reason you were gonna cough up.’ Elaine gave a subtle smirk and said, ‘No – you were right. That was the reason.’ Lenny smiled as she turned and walked away. ‘Lying cow.’
