I never even liked Brian Thomas Salabis, never liked him from the time his family moved to Pill Hill, a 1950s suburban development, so called because of the many doctors who lived there.

Bonnie Knight was in the process of reviewing a share-ware contract with IBM when her phone buzzed. “Yes?” “Mrs. Knight, Mr. Knight senior is on line two.” “Thank you Linda. I’m all set.

I don't think I'll be getting any stars for sayi...
Part 5 On the Sunday, Chris turned up at the café as invited but, unexpectedly, it was not Milka at the door when he rang the bell but Toma. Toma seemingly up for some time as the Expresso machine was in pieces and there were other signs of a major cleaning or re-ordering going on in the kitchen area behind the counter.
