I don’t want her at Thorney Coffin. It’s too risky.

Gela

You have to take Cameron and Patrick. That’s not negotiable. It’s insurance against scrutiny.

Ludya

Fine, but not Jem. Jem does NOT come to Somerset. Full stop.

WhatsApp chat between Gela Nathaniel and Cameron Wesley, 11 December 2023:

Cameron

Mae is primed. Knows enough, anyway. Whatever idea they choose, the team will be invited to the museum.

Gela

Why not arrest them the minute they get there? Or NOW?

Cameron

Have you seen Minority Report? They haven’t done anything yet. Strategy. It’s not in their interests to run this unit in. They’d rather neutralise their plans, but keep them active. What are they like behind the scenes?

Gela

Every bit as infuriating as they are on the course. I can send you our WhatsApps.

Cameron

They communicate on WA? Yes, please send.

Gela

They don’t give details, it might just be useful to you, re personality and hierarchy.

Cameron

Got them. Thanks. Don’t let their apparent bungling fool you into thinking they aren’t dangerous.

Happy New Year!

Gela

OK, so you’re not online over the holidays. FYI, Mae sent me a New Year’s e-card. It means she sees me as more than a mere work acquaintance. Good news.

Jonathan

How did Jem take the news she isn’t coming to Somerset?

Gela

I’ve devised a programme of treats for the two of us. She’ll be fine.
